It is shown that there exists a normal uniform algebra, on a compact metrizable space, that fails to be strongly regular at some peak point. This answers a 31-year-old question of Joel Feinstein. Our example is R(K) for a certain compact…

We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…

A uniformly bounded complete orthonormal system of functions $\Theta =\{ \theta_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty},$ $ \|\theta_n\|_{L^\infty_{[0,1]} } \leq M $ is constructed such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n}\theta_{n}$ converges almost everywhere on…

We study asymmetric regular types. If $\frak p$ is regular and $A$-asymmetric then there exists a strict order such that Morley sequences in $\frak p$ over $A$ are strictly increasing (we allow Morley sequences to be indexed by elements of…

An elementary proof is given to show that a parametrised algebraic curve in the plane may be traced out, in the sense of A. B. Kempe, by a finite pinned linkage. Additionally it is shown that any parametrised continuous curve \gamma: [0,1]…

The classical Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a planar set $E$ with finite length is purely unrectifiable, then almost all orthogonal projections of $E$ have zero length. We prove a quantitative version of this result: if…

Let r mod m be the least positive residue of r modulo m, and set the height of a pair (r,s) of integers, both relatively prime to m, to be the minimum over k, with 0<k<m, of (k r mod m) + (k s mod m). Denote this quantity by h(m,r,s). We…

Motivated by Hill's criterion of freeness for abelian groups, we investigate conditions under which unions of ascending chains of balanced-projective modules over integral domains are again balanced-projective. Our main result establishes…

The topological Tverberg theorem claims that for any continuous map of the (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to R^d there are q disjoint faces such that their images have a non-empty intersection. This has been proved for affine maps, and if $q$ is a…

We study properties of (bi-infinite) arrays having all adjacent $k\times k$ adjacent minors equal to one. If we further add the condition that all adjacent $(k-1)\times (k-1)$ minors be nonzero, then these arrays are necessarily of rank…

In the preprint arXiv:2511.07900 we proved that there exists a localizing ring $A_M$ for $A$ an associative ring with unit, and $M=\oplus_{i=1}^rM_i$ a direct sum of $r\geq 1$ simple right $A$-modules. For a homomorphism of associative…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension n and let A be an ample and basepoint free divisor. We prove $K_X+mA$ satisfies property $N_p$ for $m\geqslant n+1+p$. We also show the graded ring of sections $R(X, K_X+mA)$ is…

There are many notions of rank in multilinear algebra: tensor rank, partition rank, slice rank, and strength (or Schmidt rank) are a few examples. Typically the rank $\le r$ locus is not Zariski closed, and understanding the closure (the…

Let $\A$ be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane $\PP^2$. Denote by $M$ its complement and by $\M$ the set of points in $\A$ with multiplicity at least 3. A rank one local system $\mathcal{L}$ on $M$ is admissible if roughly…

The mean ergodic theorem is equivalent to the assertion that for every function K and every epsilon, there is an n with the property that the ergodic averages A_m f are stable to within epsilon on the interval [n,K(n)]. We show that even…

To r ideals on a germ of smooth variety X one attaches a rational polytope in the r-dimensional Euclidean space (the LCT-polytope) that generalizes the notion of log canonical threshold in the case of one ideal. We study these polytopes,…

We prove a graded version of Alev-Polo's rigidity theorem: the homogenization of the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra and the Rees ring of the Weyl algebras $A_n(k)$ cannot be isomorphic to their fixed subring under…

We prove the analogue of the Martingale Convergence Theorem for polynomial spline sequences. Given a natural number $k $ and a sequence $(t_i)$ of knots in $[0,1]$ with multiplicity $\le k-1$, we let $P_n $ be the orthogonal projection onto…

Wigner's theorem characterizes isometries of the set of all rank one projections on a Hilbert space. In metric geometry nonexpansive maps and noncontractive maps are well studied generalizations of isometries. We show that under certain…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve over $\mathbb Q$ described by $y^2=a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_n$, $a_i\in\mathbb Q$. The points $P_{i}=(x_{i},y_{i})\in C(\mathbb{Q})$, $i=1,2,...,k,$ are said to be in a geometric progression of length $k$…
