In 1985, Restivo and Salemi presented a list of five problems concerning power free languages. Problem $4$ states: Given $\alpha$-power-free words $u$ and $v$, decide whether there is a transition from $u$ to $v$. Problem $5$ states: Given…

Applications of harmonic analysis on finite groups are introduced to measure partition problems, with equipartitions obtained as the vanishing of prescribed Fourier transforms. For elementary abelian groups $Z_p^k$, $p$ an odd prime,…

The Taylor resolution is almost never minimal for powers of monomial ideals, even in the square-free case. In this paper we introduce a smaller resolution for each power of any square-free monomial ideal, which depends only on the number of…

We prove surjectivity of certain word maps on finite non-abelian simple groups. More precisely, we prove the following: if N is a product of two prime powers, then the word map sending (x,y) to the product of the Nth powers of x and y is…

It is known that there exist an infinite number of inequivalent quantizations on a topologically nontrivial manifold even if it is a finite-dimensional manifold. In this paper we consider the abelian sigma model in (1+1) dimensions to…

We present a new accelerated gradient-based method for solving smooth unconstrained optimization problems. The goal is to embed a heavy-ball type of momentum into the Fast Gradient Method (FGM). For this purpose, we devise a generalization…

We develop a version of Freiman's theorem for a class of non-abelian groups, which includes finite nilpotent, supersolvable and solvable A-groups. To do this we have to replace the small doubling hypothesis with a stronger relative…

For every number field $k$, we construct an affine algebraic surface $X$ over $k$ with a Zariski dense set of $k$-rational points, and a regular function $f$ on $X$ inducing an injective map $X(k)\to k$ on $k$-rational points. In fact,…

The identity testing of rational formulas (RIT) in the free skew field efficiently reduces to computing the rank of a matrix whose entries are linear polynomials in noncommuting variables\cite{HW15}. This rank computation problem has…

Linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients over a field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$ with local exponents in the prime field have a basis of solutions in the differential extension $\mathcal{R}_p=K(z_1, z_2,…

While the performance of machine learning systems has experienced significant improvement in recent years, relatively little attention has been paid to the fundamental question: to what extent can we improve our models? This paper provides…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without CM that is defined over a number field $K$. For all but finitely many nonarchimedean places $v$ of $K$ there is the reduction $E(v)$ of $E$ at $v$ that is an elliptic curve over the residue field $k(v)$…

Soft and collinear radiation is responsible for large corrections to many hadronic cross sections, near thresholds for the production of heavy final states. There is much interest in extending our understanding of this radiation to…

In the study of the local dynamics of a germ of diffeomorphism fixing the origin in C, an important problem is to determine the centralizer of the germ in the group Diff(C,0) of germs of diffeomorphisms fixing the origin. When the germ is…

In this thesis the universal collapse of vacuum Brill waves is demonstrated numerically and analytically. This thesis presents the mathematical and numerical methods necessary to regularise and evolve Brill Gravitational Waves in spherical…

For fixed positive integers $n$, we study the solution of the equation $n = k + p_k$, where $p_k$ denotes the $k$th prime number, by means of the iterative method \[ k_{j+1} = \pi(n-k_j), \qquad k_0 = \pi(n), \] which converges to the…

Let K be a number field and let E/K be an elliptic curve. If E has complex multiplication, we show that there is a positive lower bound for the canonical height of non-torsion points on E defined over the maximal abelian extension K^ab of…

Let K be a CM-field, i.e., a totally complex quadratic extension of a totally real field F. Let X be a g-dimensional abelian variety admitting an algebra embedding of F into the rational endomorphisms of X. Let A be the product of X and…

We present a formalization, in the theorem prover Lean, of the classification of solvable Lie algebras of dimension at most three over arbitrary fields. Lie algebras are algebraic objects which encode infinitesimal symmetries, and as such…

We develop an efficient and reliable adaptive finite element method (AFEM) for the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). We first examine the regularization technique of Chen, Holst, and Xu; this technique made possible the first a…
