A sum of a large-dimensional random matrix polynomial and a fixed low-rank matrix polynomial is considered. The main assumption is that the resolvent of the random polynomial converges to some deterministic limit. A formula for the limit of…

Every real hyperbolic form in three variables can be realized as the determinant of a linear net of Hermitian matrices containing a positive definite matrix. Such representations are an algebraic certificate for the hyperbolicity of the…

The central question of knot theory is that of distinguishing links up to isotopy. The first polynomial invariant of links devised to help answer this question was the Alexander polynomial (1928). Almost a century after its introduction, it…

We present combinatorial rules (one theorem and two conjectures) concerning three bases of Z[x1,x2,....]. First, we prove a "splitting" rule for the basis of key polynomials [Demazure '74], thereby establishing a new positivity theorem…

We study hyperbolic polynomials with nice symmetry and express them as the determinant of a Hermitian matrix with special structure. The goal of this paper is to answer a question posed by Chien and Nakazato in 2015. By properly modifying a…

We conjecture two combinatorial interpretations for the symmetric function $\Delta_{e_k} e_n$, where $\Delta_f$ is an eigenoperator for the modified Macdonald polynomials defined by Bergeron, Garsia, Haiman, and Tesler. Both interpretations…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

A real univariate polynomial of degree $n$ is called hyperbolic if all of its $n$ roots are on the real line. Such polynomials appear quite naturally in different applications, for example, in combinatorics and optimization. The focus of…

It is one of the main properties of uniformly hyperbolic dynamics that points of two distinct trajectories cannot be uniformly close one to another. This characteristics of hyperbolic dynamics is called expansivity. Hirsch, Pugh and Shub,…

Moore's Conjecture is shown to hold for generalized moment-angle complexes and a criterion is proved that determines when a polyhedral product is elliptic or hyperbolic.

The goal of this paper is to give a conjectural census of complex hyperbolic sporadic groups. We prove that only finitely many of these sporadic groups are lattices. We also give a conjectural list of all lattices among sporadic groups, and…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating…

We consider the Ehrhart polynomial of hypersimplices. It is proved that these polynomials have positive coefficients and we give a combinatorial formula for each of them. This settles a problem posed by Stanley and also proves that uniform…

Let $p$ be a real zero polynomial in $n$ variables. Then $p$ defines a rigidly convex set $C(p)$. We construct a linear matrix inequality of size $n+1$ in the same $n$ variables that depends only on the cubic part of $p$ and defines a…

A kind of Bargmann symmetry constraints involving Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs is proposed for soliton hierarchy. The Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs are nonlinearized into a hierarchy of commutative finite dimensional integrable…

In a recent article, we gave a full characterization of matrices that can be decomposed as a linear combination of two idempotents with prescribed coefficients. In this one, we use those results to improve on a recent theorem of V.…

In this work, we continue the development of methods for constructing Lax pairs and recursion operators for nonlinear integrable hyperbolic equations of soliton type, previously proposed in the work of Habibullin et al. (2016 {\it J. Phys.…

Convex co-compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds are uniquely determined by the pleating measured lamination on the boundary of their convex core.

Sequences of bivariate orthogonal polynomials written as vector polynomials of increasing size satisfy a couple of three term relations with matrix coefficients. In this work, introducing a time-dependent parameter, we analyse a Lax-type…

The celebrated Mason's conjecture states that the sequence of independent set numbers of any matroid is log-concave, and even ultra log-concave. The strong form of Mason's conjecture was independently solved by Anari, Liu, Oveis Gharan and…
