We study the problem of constructing explicit families of matrices which cannot be expressed as a product of a few sparse matrices. In addition to being a natural mathematical question on its own, this problem appears in various…
This paper investigates the fundamental limits for detecting a high-dimensional sparse matrix contaminated by white Gaussian noise from both the statistical and computational perspectives. We consider $p\times p$ matrices whose rows and…
This paper supplies additions to our paper in Linear Algebra Appl. 510 (2016) 395--420 on integral spans of tight frames in Euclidean spaces. In that previous paper, we considered the case of an equiangular tight frame (ETF), proving that…
We review connections between coding-theoretic objects and sparse learning problems. In particular, we show how seemingly different combinatorial objects such as error-correcting codes, combinatorial designs, spherical codes, compressed…
In this paper we focus on modules over a finite chain ring $\mathcal{R}$ of size $q^s$. We compute the density of free modules of $\mathcal{R}^n$, where we separately treat the asymptotics in $n,q$ and $s$. In particular, we focus on two…
In this article we mainly study linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ and their binary subfield codes. We construct linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ whose defining sets are the certain subsets of $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$ obtained from…
We explore the moduli space of heterotic strings in two dimensions. In doing so, we introduce new lines of compactified theories with Spin(24) gauge symmetry and discuss compactifications with Wilson lines. The phase structure of d=2…
Sparse coding has been proposed as a theory of visual cortex and as an unsupervised algorithm for learning representations. We show empirically with the MNIST dataset that sparse codes can be very sensitive to image distortions, a behavior…
We propose a construction of lattices from (skew-) polynomial codes, by endowing quotients of some ideals in both number fields and cyclic algebras with a suitable trace form. We give criteria for unimodularity. This yields integral and…
We consider the problem of finding lower bounds on the number of unlabeled $n$-element lattices in some lattice family. We show that if the family is closed under vertical sum, exponential lower bounds can be obtained from vertical sums of…
We consider polynomials of a few linear forms and show how exploit this type of sparsity for optimization on some particular domains like the Euclidean sphere or a polytope. Moreover, a simple procedure allows to detect this form of…
Except for very particular and artificial experimental configurations, linear transformations of the state of polarization of an electromagnetic wave result in a reduction of the intensity of the exiting wave with respect to the incoming…
Modular invariance imposes rigid constrains on the partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories. Many fundamental results follow strictly from modular invariance, giving rise to the numerical modular bootstrap program.…
Inverse imaging problems that are ill-posed can be encountered across multiple domains of science and technology, ranging from medical diagnosis to astronomical studies. To reconstruct images from incomplete and distorted data, it is…
A modular form on an even lattice $M$ of signature $(l,2)$ is called reflective if it vanishes only on quadratic divisors orthogonal to roots of $M$. In this paper we show that every reflective modular form on a lattice of type $2U\oplus L$…
Sparse data models, where data is assumed to be well represented as a linear combination of a few elements from a dictionary, have gained considerable attention in recent years, and their use has led to state-of-the-art results in many…
We give an explicit formula for dimensions of spaces of rational-weight modular forms whose multiplier systems are induced by eta-quotients of fractional exponents. As the first application, we give series expressions of Fourier…

We develop two applications of the Kronecker's limit formula associated to elliptic Eisenstein series: A factorization theorem for holomorphic modular forms, and a proof of Weil's reciprocity law. Several examples of the general…
Building on the recent work of Mushaandja and Olela-Otafudu~\cite{MushaandjaOlela2025} on modular metric topologies, this paper investigates extended structural properties of modular (pseudo)metric spaces. We provide necessary and…
