It is shown that the integrals of the Jacobi polynomials \begin{equation*}%\label{eq:Fn^J} \int_0^t (t-\theta)^\delta P_n^{(\alpha-\frac12,\beta-\frac12)}(\cos \theta) \left(\sin \tfrac{\theta}2\right)^{2 \alpha} \left(\cos…

Take a centered random walk S_n and consider the sequence of its partial sums A_n = S_1 + ... + S_n. Suppose S_1 is in the domain of normal attraction of an \alpha-stable law with 1 < \alpha <= 2. Assuming that S_1 is either…

In the 1970s, Fathi, having proven that the group of compactly supported volume-preserving homeomorphisms of the $n$-ball is simple for $n \ge 3$, asked if the same statement holds in dimension $2$. We show that the group of compactly…

In this work we study the sequence of variational eigenvalues of a system of resonant type involving $p-$ and $q-$laplacians on $\Omega \subset \R^N$, with a coupling term depending on two parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfying…

For every integer $k\geq 2$, we construct infinite families of mutually nondiffeomorphic irreducible smooth structures on the topological $4$-manifolds $(2k-1)(S^2\times S^2)$ and $(2k-1)(\CP#\CPb)$, the connected sums of $2k-1$ copies of…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. There has been much interest in characterizing multiple structures in $\P^n_K$ defined on a linear subspace of small codimension under additional assumptions (e.g. Cohen-Macaulay). We show that no…

We provide a purely local computation of the (elliptic) twisted (by "transpose-inverse") character of the representation \pi=I(\1) of PGL(3) over a p-adic field induced from the trivial representation of the maximal parabolic subgroup. This…

We show that a closed orientable Riemannian $n$-manifold, $n \ge 5$, with positive isotropic curvature and free fundamental group is homeomorphic to the connected sum of copies of $S^{n-1} \times S^1$.

We find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the n by n matrix with (i,j) entry \binom(i-1,n-j), establishing a conjecture of Peele and Stanica. Curiously, the eigenvectors can be chosen to form a matrix which is its own inverse.

Rabi and Sherman present a cryptographic paradigm based on associative, one-way functions that are strong (i.e., hard to invert even if one of their arguments is given) and total. Hemaspaandra and Rothe proved that such powerful one-way…

Explicit formulas determining the dimension and the degree of the singular subscheme of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are given in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of the corresponding Jacobian algebra.…

A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of pairs of distinct primes $p,q \le x$ for which $(p - 1)(q -…

We consider certain subsets of the space of $n\times n$ matrices of the form $K = \cup_{i=1}^m SO(n)A_i$, and we prove that for $p>1, q \geq 1$ and for connected $\Omega'\subset\subset\Omega\subset \R^n$, there exists positive constant…

We collect some results on endomorphisms on projective varieties related with the Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture. We discuss certain condition on automorphism groups of projective varieties and positivity conditions on leading real…

We establish in this paper an upper bound on the second eigenvalue of n-dimensional spheres in the conformal class of the round sphere. This upper bound holds in all dimensions and is asymptotically sharp as the dimension increases.

In this paper, we show that an irreducible proper complex equifocal submanifold of codimension greater than one in a symmetric space of non-compact type. The proof is performed by showing the homogeneity of the lift of the complexification…

Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…

We consider the following generalisation of a well-known problem in Riemannian geometry: When is a smooth real-valued function s on a given compact n-dimensional manifold M (with or without boundary) the scalar curvature of some smooth…

In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…

The long-standing Alekseevskii conjecture states that a connected homogeneous Einstein space G/K of negative scalar curvature must be diffeomorphic to R^n. This was known to be true only in dimensions up to 5, and in dimension 6 for…
