We consider the problem of learning low-rank tensors from partial observations with structural constraints, and propose a novel factorization of such tensors, which leads to a simpler optimization problem. The resulting problem is an…

By extending methods of Favale-Pirola arXiv:2108.02157 and Gonz\'alez-Alonso-Torelli arXiv:2402.15158 to toric surfaces via toric Jacobian ring, we are able to show there exists trigonal curve with trigonal deformation of rank $g$ for…

For complete Riemannian manifolds with vanishing Bach tensor and positive constant scalar curvature, we provide a rigidity theorem characterized by some pointwise inequalities. Furthermore, we prove some rigidity results under an inequality…

Given a convex function $\Phi:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$ and the mean $\mathbb{E}f(\mathbf{X})=a\in[0,1]$, which Boolean function $f$ maximizes the $\Phi$-stability $\mathbb{E}[\Phi(T_{\rho}f(\mathbf{X}))]$ of $f$? Here $\mathbf{X}$ is a random…

Classification and Regression Trees (CARTs) are off-the-shelf techniques in modern Statistics and Machine Learning. CARTs are traditionally built by means of a greedy procedure, sequentially deciding the splitting predictor variable(s) and…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a family of axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. The transversal number $\tau(\mathcal{R})$ is the minimum number of points needed to pierce all the rectangles. The independence number $\nu(\mathcal{R})$ is the…

Let \phi(G) be the minimum conductance of an undirected graph G, and let 0=\lambda_1 <= \lambda_2 <=... <= \lambda_n <= 2 be the eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian matrix of G. We prove that for any graph G and any k >= 2, \phi(G) =…

We present a new proof of a theorem of Chen and Jiang: for any integer $n>1$, there is a constant $K_n>0$ such that every smooth projective $n$-fold $X$ with $\operatorname{vol}(X)>K_n$ has either the stable birational $2$-canonical map or…

We determine to leading order the maximum of the characteristic polynomial for Wigner matrices and $\beta$-ensembles. In the special case of Gaussian-divisible Wigner matrices, our method provides universality of the maximum up to…

Using Langer's construction of Bridgeland stability conditions on normal surfaces, we prove Reider-type theorems generalizing the work done by Arcara-Bertram in the smooth case. Our results still hold in positive characteristic or when…

Rigidity results are obtained for Riemannian $d$-manifolds with $\sec \geqslant 1$ and spherical rank at least $d-2>0$. Conjecturally, all such manifolds are locally isometric to a round sphere or complex projective space with the…

We determine the explicit value of the optimal constant in the trace inequality for functions of bounded variations in the case the domain has a particular class of singularities.

We show the optimal coherence of $2d$ lines in $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ is given by the Welch bound whenever a skew Hadamard of order $d+1$ exists. Our proof uses a variant of Hadamard doubling that converts any equiangular tight frame of size…

In this work there is established an optimal existence and regularity theory for second order linear parabolic differential equations on a large class of noncompact Riemannian manifolds. Then it is shown that it provides a general unifying…

We show that every symmetric random variable with log-concave tails satisfies the convex infimum convolution inequality with an optimal cost function (up to scaling). As a result, we obtain nearly optimal comparison of weak and strong…

Currently, the best upper bounds on the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible, smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus g defined over a finite field F_q come either from Serre's refinement of the Weil bound if the genus…

Bounding the number of rational points of height at most $H$ on irreducible algebraic plane curves of degree $d$ has been an intense topic of investigation since the work by Bombieri and Pila. In this paper we establish optimal dependence…

We present a Riemannian framework for linear and quadratic discriminant classification on the tangent plane of the shape space of curves. The shape space is infinite dimensional and is constructed out of square root velocity functions of…

A classical result of Corr\'adi and Hajnal states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $n\in 3\mathbb{N}$ and $\delta(G) \ge 2n/3$ contains a perfect triangle-tiling, i.e.,\ a spanning set of vertex-disjoint triangles. We explore a…
