The spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical layers is analysed through two aspects: the infiniteness of the discrete eigenvalues and their expansions in the small aperture limit. On the one hand, we prove that, for any aperture, the…

We consider finite 2-complexes X that arise as quotients of Fuchsian buildings by subgroups of the combinatorial automorphism group, which we assume act freely and cocompactly. We show that locally CAT(-1) metrics on X which are piecewise…

We prove the existence of flips in dimension n, contingent on the termination of real flips in dimension n-1.

It is shown that the groups of automorphisms of Euclidean spaces are isomorphic to the groups of topologic automorphisms of respectively factored arithmetic spaces. In particular, the geometry of Euclidean n-space with positive signature is…

Let M be a closed simply connected n-manifold of positive sectional curvature. We determine its homeomorphism or homotopic type if M also admits an isometric elementary p-group action of large rank. Our main results are: There exists a…

We show that there exist convex $n$-gons $P$ and $Q$ such that the largest convex polygon in the Minkowski sum $P+Q$ has size $\Theta(n\log n)$. This matches an upper bound of Tiwary.

A smooth complex variety satisfies the Generalized Jacobian Conjecture if all its \'etale endomorphisms are proper. We study the conjecture for $\mathbb{Q}$-acyclic surfaces of negative Kodaira dimension. We show that $G$-equivariant…

The $C^*$-algebra of continuous functions on the quantum quaternion sphere $H_q^{2n}$ can be identified with the quotient algebra $C(SP_q(2n)/SP_q(2n-2))$. In commutative case i.e. for $q=1$, the topological space $SP(2n)/SP(2n-2)$ is…

We prove several analogs of Gromov's macroscopic dimension conjecture with extra curvature assumptions. More explicitly, we show that for an open Riemannian $n$-manifold $(M,g)$ of nonnegative Ricci (resp. sectional) curvature, if it has…

We prove that for supercritical percolation on every infinite transitive graph, the probability that the origin belongs to a finite cluster of size at least $n$ decays exponentially in $\Phi(n)$, where $\Phi$ is the isoperimetric function…

We verify that the established one- and two-step recurrences for positive definite functions on spheres extend to the spatio-temporal case.

We show that eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on certain non-compact domains with finite area may localize at infinity--provided there is no extreme level clustering--and thus rule out quantum unique ergodicity for such systems. The…

The investigation into large families of non-opposite flags in finite spherical buildings has been a recent addition to a long line of research in extremal combinatorics, extending classical results in vector and polar spaces. This line of…

The Laplacian matrix of the $n$-dimensional hypercube has $n+1$ distinct eigenvalues $2i$, where $0\leq i\leq n$. In 2004, B\i y\i ko\u{g}lu, Hordijk, Leydold, Pisanski and Stadler initiated the study of eigenfunctions of hypercubes with…

We analyse the Maxwell's spectrum on thin tubular neighborhoods of embedded surfaces of $\mathbb R^3$. We show that the Maxwell eigenvalues converge to the Laplacian eigenvalues of the surface as the thin parameter tends to zero. To achieve…

A collection of n distinct hyperplanes L_i ={l_i=0} in P^{n-1}, the n-1-dimensional projective space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2, is a polar simplex of a quadric Q={q=0}, if each L_i is the polar…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain two three-dimensional parallel layers having common boundary and coupled by a window. The window produces the bound states below the essential spectrum; we obtain two-sided estimates for them.…

Let k be an algebraically closed field, let K/k be a finitely generated field extension of transcendence degree 2 with automorphism sigma, and let A be an N-graded subalgebra of Q = K[t; sigma] with A_n finite dimensional over k for all n.…

We give a $q$-analogue of some binomial coefficient identities of Y. Sun [Electron. J. Combin. 17 (2010), #N20] as follows: {align*} \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}{m+k\brack k}_{q^2}{m+1\brack n-2k}_{q} q^{n-2k\choose 2} &={m+n\brack…

Let $\theta$ be an automorphism of a thick irreducible spherical building $\Delta$ of rank at least $3$ with no Fano plane residues. We prove that if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices…
