The motion of binary star systems is re-examined in the presence of perturbations from the theory of general relativity. The Kepler problem is regularized and linearized with quaternions. In this way first order perturbation results are…
We present a short proof of Cantor's Theorem (circa 1870s): if $a_n \cos nx + b_n \sin nx \to 0$ for each $x$ in some (nonempty) open interval, where $a_n, b_n$ are sequences of complex numbers, then $a_n$ and $b_n$ converge to 0.
In 2004 the second author of the present paper proved that a point set in $[0,1]^d$ which has star-discrepancy at most $\varepsilon$ must necessarily consist of at least $c_{abs} d \varepsilon^{-1}$ points. Equivalently, every set of $n$…
In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…
We derive a generalized deviation equation in Riemann-Cartan spacetime. The equation describes the dynamics of the connecting vector which links events on two general adjacent world lines. Our result is valid for any theory in a…
We compute the K-theory of ring C*-algebras for polynomial rings over finite fields. The key ingredient is a duality theorem which we had obtained in a previous paper. It allows us to show that the K-theory of these algebras has a ring…
In this paper we reduce the generalized Hilbert's third problem about Dehn invariants and scissors congruence classes to the injectivity of certain Chern--Simons invariants. We also establish a version of a conjecture of Goncharov relating…
We prove that a self-similar Cantor set in $\mathbb{Z}_N \times \mathbb{Z}_N$ has a fractal uncertainty principle if and only if it does not contain a pair of orthogonal lines. The key ingredient in our proof is a quantitative form of…
Identification and extraction of singing voice from within musical mixtures is a key challenge in source separation and machine audition. Recently, deep neural networks (DNN) have been used to estimate 'ideal' binary masks for carefully…
The famous contradiction of a bijection between a set and its power set is a consequence of the impredicative definition involved. This is shown by the fact that a simple mapping between equivalent sets does also fail to satisfy the…
In this paper we survey a recent progress on continuous frames inspired by the solution of the Kadison-Singer problem by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava. We present an extension of Lyapunov's theorem for discrete frames due to Akemann and…
Akemann and Weaver showed Lyapunov-type theorem for rank one positive semidefinite matrices which is an extension of Weaver's KS$_2$ conjecture that was proven by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava in their breakthrough solution of the…
Complex numbers are basic. An inconsistency would question Wigner's unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. A vehicle to study this question is Kirchoff's scalar diffraction theory. In the paper, an inconsistency in complex phase angle…
In this note, we propose a simple-looking but broad conjecture about star-algebras over the field of real numbers. The conjecture enables many matrix decompositions to be represented by star-algebras and star-ideals. This paper is written…
We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These…
We prove that separable C*-algebras which are completely close in a natural uniform sense have isomorphic Cuntz semigroups, continuing a line of research developed by Kadison - Kastler, Christensen, and Khoshkam. This result has several…
In this paper, a new invariant was built towards the classification of separable C*-algebras of real rank zero, which we call latticed total K-theory. A classification theorem is given in terms of such an invariant for a large class of…
This article is an expository account of the theory of twisted commutative algebras, which simply put, can be thought of as a theory for handling commutative algebras with large groups of linear symmetries. Examples include the coordinate…
We construct a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible representation up to unitary equivalence but is not isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space. This answers an old question of Naimark. Our construction uses…
By using C*-correspondences and Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, we associate to every subshift (also called a shift space) $X$ a C*-algebra $O_X$, which is a generalization of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras. We show that $O_X$ is the universal…
