In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced link invariants which measure the homotopy class of the longitudes of a link relative to the lower central series of the link group. Consequently, these invariants determine the lower central series…
In this paper, the concept of the classical $f$-divergence for a pair of measures is extended to the mixed $f$-divergence for multiple pairs of measures. The mixed $f$-divergence provides a way to measure the difference between multiple…
The "fundamental theorem of Vassiliev invariants" says that every weight system can be integrated to a knot invariant. We discuss four different approaches to the proof of this theorem: a topological/combinatorial approach following M.…
Twisted Alexander invariants have been defined for any knot and linear representation of its group. The invariants are generalized for any periodic representation of the commutator subgroup of the knot group. Properties of the new twisted…
The recent extensive work on different approaches to the Schottky problem has produced marked progress on several fronts. At the same time, it has become apparent that there exist very close connections between the various characterizations…
Erd\H{o}s first introduced the idea of covering systems in 1950. Since then, much of the work in this area has concentrated on identifying covering systems that meet specific conditions on their moduli. Among the central open problems in…
In paper [1] S. V. Tikhonov introduced a complete metric on the space of mixing transformations. It generates a topology called leash-topology. In [2] Tikhonov states the following problem: for what mixing transformation T its conjugacy…
The purpose of this paper is to describe some conjectures and results on the existence and uniqueness of invariant measures on formal completions of Kac-Moody groups and associated homogeneous spaces. Existence is rigorously established in…
It has been folklore for several years in the knot theory community that certain integrals on configuration space, originally motivated by perturbation theory for the Chern-Simons field theory, converge and yield knot invariants. This was…
We consider various inequalities for polynomials, with an emphasis on the most fundamental inequalities of approximation theory. In the sequel a key role is played by the generalized Minkowski functional \alpha(K,x), already being used by…
The conjecture by Steklov was solved negatively by Rakhmanov in 1979. His original proof was based on the formula for orthogonal polynomial obtained by adding point masses to the measure of orthogonality. In this note, we show how this…
We classify K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds which admit a K\"ahler immersion into a finite dimensional complex projective space endowed with the Fubini-Study metric, whose codimention is not greater than 3 and whose metric is rotation…
The notorious `measurement problem' has been roving around quantum mechanics for nearly a century since its inception, and has given rise to a variety of `interpretations' of quantum mechanics, which are meant to evade it. We argue that no…
Following the general strategy proposed by G.Rybnikov, we present a proof of his well-known result, that is, the existence of two arrangements of lines having the same combinatorial type, but non-isomorphic fundamental groups. To do so, the…
This paper surveys the theory of multiple packings and coverings. The study of multiple arrangements started in the 60s of the last century, and it was restricted mostly to lattice arrangements on the plane or of general arrangements of…
In this paper, we analyze the question of replica symmetry in the bulk for multi-partite entanglement measures in the vacuum state of two dimensional holographic CFTs. We first define a class of multi-partite local unitary invariants,…
A novel extension of the canonical solitonic mKdV equation is introduced which admits hybrid Ermakov-Painlev\'e II symmetry reduction. Application of the latter is made to obtain exact solution of Airy-type to a class of moving boundary…
For G=SL_n or GL_n we construct representations V such that the invariant ring K[V]^G is not Cohen-Macaulay.
In this paper, we extend the definition of a knotoid that was introduced by Turaev, to multi-linkoids that consist of a number of knot and knotoid components. We study invariants of multi-linkoids that lie in a closed orientable surface,…
Multipartite entanglement is a natural generalization of bipartite entanglement, but is relatively poorly understood. In this paper, we develop tools to calculate a class of multipartite entanglement measures - known as multi-invariants -…
