Grassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. Trifocal Grassmann tensors, related to three projections from a projective space of dimension k onto view-spaces of varying dimensions are studied…
Using the author's inversion formula for automorphisms of the Weyl algebras with polynomial coefficients and the bound on its degree a slightly shorter (algebraic) proof is given of the result of A. Belov-Kanel and M. Kontsevich that the…
In 1959, R.V. Kadison and I.M. Singer asked whether each pure state of the algebra of bounded diagonal operators on $\ell^2$, admits a unique state extension to $B(\ell^2)$. The positive answer was given in June 2013 by A. Marcus, D.…
In this paper we study the Feichtinger Conjecture in frame theory, which was recently shown to be equivalent to the 1959 Kadison-Singer Problem in $C^{*}$-Algebras. We will show that every bounded Bessel sequence can be decomposed into two…
A few years ago, Richard Kadison thoroughly analysed the diagonals of projection operators on Hilbert spaces and asked the following question: Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a masa in a type $II_1$ factor $\mathcal{M}$ and let $A \in \mathcal{A}$ be…
We provide a proof and a counterexample to two conjectures made by N. Kuznetsov.
We give an informal overview of the Kadison-Singer extension problem with emphasis on its initial connections to Dirac's formulation of quantum mechanics. Let H be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, and B(H) the algebra of all…
The geometry conjecture, which was posed nearly a quarter of a century ago, states that the fixed point set of the composition of projectors onto nonempty closed convex sets in Hilbert space is actually equal to the intersection of certain…
This paper combines two ingredients in order to get a rather surprising result on one of the most studied, elegant and powerful tools for solving convex feasibility problems, the method of alternating projections (MAP). Going back to names…
The article is concerned with the problem of the additivity of the tensor rank. That is for two independent tensors we study when the rank of their direct sum is equal to the sum of their individual ranks. The statement saying that…
We help Alice play a certain "convergence game" against Bob and win the prize, which is a constructive solution to a problem by Erd\H{o}s and Graham, posed in their 1980 book on open questions in combinatorial number theory. Namely, after…
An assignment problem is the optimization problem of finding, in an m by n matrix of nonnegative real numbers, k entries, no two in the same row or column, such that their sum is minimal. Such an optimization problem is called a random…
Since the alternating sign matrix conjecture, proposed by Mills, Robbins, and Rumsey in 1982, was proved by Zeilberger and Kuperberg, several refined enumerations have been considered. In particular, Behrend et al. obtained a quadruply…
Many ring theorists researched various properties of Nagata rings and Serre's conjecture rings. In this paper, we introduce a subring (refer to the Anderson ring) of both the Nagata ring and the Serre's conjecture ring (up to isomorphism),…
In this paper we present a smallest possible counterexample to the Numerical Terao's Conjecture in the class of line arrangements in the complex projective plane. Our example consists of a pair of two arrangements with $13$ lines. Moreover,…
The Isomorphism Conjecture is a conceptional approach towards a calculation of the algebraic K-theory of a group ring RG, where G is an infinite group. In this paper we prove the conjecture in dimensions n<2 for fundamental groups of closed…
We establish a finite-dimensional version of the Arveson-Stinespring dilation theorem for unital completely positive maps on operator systems. This result can be seen as a general principle to deduce finite-dimensional dilation theorems…
In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.
Ahmadi-Shparlinski conjectured that every ordinary, geometrically simple Jacobian over a finite field has maximal angle rank. Using the L-Functions and Modular Forms Database, we provide two counterexamples to this conjecture in dimension…
A counterexample is given to the uniqueness result given in the paper by J.Cox and K.Thompson, "Note on the uniqueness of the solution of an equation of interest in inverse scattering problem", J. Math.Phys., 11, N3, (1970), 815-817.
