This informal note collects key results and open problems on the (co)homology of the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of real marked rational curves. The open problems are both of topological nature, aiming to investigate the (co)homology of…
An important question in dynamical systems is the classification problem, i.e., the ability to distinguish between two isomorphic systems. In this work, we study the topological factors between a family of multidimensional substitutive…
We affirm a conjecture of Sacks [1972] by showing that every countable distributive lattice is isomorphic to an initial segment of the hyperdegrees, $\mathcal{D}_{h}$. In fact, we prove that every sublattice of any hyperarithmetic lattice…
This paper solves the two-sided version and provides a counterexample to the general version of the 2003 conjecture by Hadwin and Larson. Consider evaluations of linear matrix pencils $L=T_0+x_1T_1+\cdots+x_mT_m$ on matrix tuples as…
The deformed quantum Calogero-Moser-Sutherland problems related to the root systems of the contragredient Lie superalgebras are introduced. The construction is based on the notion of the generalized root systems suggested by V. Serganova.…
A canonical system is a kind of first-order system of ordinary differential equations on an interval of the real line parametrized by complex numbers. It is known that any solution of a canonical system generates an entire function of the…
The continuity of the inverse Klain map is investigated and the class of centrally symmetric convex bodies at which every valuation depends continuously on its Klain function is characterized. Among several applications, it is shown that…
We give a new and elementary proof that simultaneous similarity and simultaneous equivalence of families of matrices are invariant under extension of the ground field, a result which is non-trivial for finite fields and first appeared in a…
Let G be a simple complex algebraic group and let K be a reductive subgroup of G such that the coordinate ring of G/K is a multiplicity free G-module. We consider the G-algebra structure of C[G/K], and study the decomposition into…
Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
We consider canonical systems (with $2p\times 2p$ Hamiltonians $H(x)\geq 0$), which correspond to matrix string equations. Direct and inverse problems are solved in terms of Titchmarsh--Weyl and spectral matrix functions and related…
Sets of $d\times d$ matrices sharing a common invariant cone enjoy special properties, which are widely used in applications. However, finding this cone or even proving its existence/non-existence is hard. This problem is known to be…
We give a simple proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem for Deligne-Mumford stacks using the equivariant Riemann-Roch theorem and the localization theorem in equivariant K-theory together with some basic commutative algebra of Artin rings.
We present an affirmative answer to Stanley's zrank problem, namely, the zrank and rank are equal for any skew partition. We show that certain classes of restricted Cauchy matrices are nonsingular and furthermore, the signs depend on the…
Some new decidability results for multiplicative matrix equations over algebraic number fields are established. In particular, special instances of the so-called knapsack problem are considered. The proofs are based on effective methods for…
The Delannoy polynomial $D_n(x)$ is defined by $$ D_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}{n+k\choose k}x^k. $$ We prove that, if $x$ is an integer and $p$ is a prime not dividing $x(x+1)$, then \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(2k+1)D_k(x)^3…
The determination of the density functions for products of random elements from specified classes of matrices is a basic problem in random matrix theory and is also of interest in theoretical physics. For connected simple Lie groups of…
The longstanding nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) is to determine which multisets of complex numbers occur as the spectrum of an entry-wise nonnegative matrix. Although there are some well-known necessary conditions, a solution…
This paper aims at reviewing and analysing the method of reflections. The latter is an iterative procedure designed to linear boundary value problems set in multiply connected domains. Being based on a decomposition of the domain boundary,…
We study self-adjoint matrix polynomial equations in a single variable and prove existence of self-adjoint solutions under some assumptions on the leading form. Our main result is that any self-adjoint matrix polynomial equation of odd…
