For schemes X over global or local fields, or over their rings of integers, K. Kato stated several conjectures on certain complexes of Gersten-Bloch-Ogus type, generalizing the fundamental exact sequence of Brauer groups for a global field.…

We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…

Given a continuous function $\phi$ defined on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m\times\mathbb{R}^n$, we show that if a Pr\'ekopa-type result holds for $\phi+\psi$ for any non-negative convex function $\psi$ on $\Omega$, then $\phi$ must be…
