We exhibit a general procedure to purify any given ensemble by identifying an appropriate interaction between the physical system S of the ensemble and the reference system K. We show that the interaction can be chosen in such a way to lead…
The number of lattice points $\left| tP \cap \mathbb{Z}^d \right|$, as a function of the real variable $t>1$ is studied, where $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ belongs to a special class of algebraic cross-polytopes and simplices. It is shown that…
Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the field of real numbers. We consider the problem of computing the real isolated points of a real algebraic set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given as the vanishing set of a polynomial system. This problem plays an important role…
We discuss the problem of whether a given problem in enumerative geometry can have all of its solutions be real. In particular, we describe an approach to problems of this type, and show how this can be used to show some enumerative…
Let $\{p_1, \ldots , p_n \} \subset {\Bbb{R}}^2$ be a separated point set, i.e., any two points have a distance at least $1$. Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer, and $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k$ be real numbers. Let $\delta > 0$. Suppose for all $1…
A well-known result, due to Meyer, states that the set P of Pisot numbers, generating a real algebraic number field K, is uniformly discrete and relatively dense in the set of positive real number. In the present paper, we show that P is…
Connected components of real algebraic sets are semi-algebraic, i.e. they are described by a boolean formula whose atoms are polynomial constraints with real coefficients. Computing such descriptions finds topical applications in optical…
The first part of the paper will describe a recent result of K. Retert in (\cite{Ret}) for $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ and $k[[x_1,\ldots,x_n]]$. This result states that if $\mathfrak{D}$ is a set of commute $k$-derivations of $k[x,y]$ such that…
We investigate purities determined by classes of finitely presented modules including the correspondence between purities for left and right modules. We show some cases where purities determined by matrices of given sizes are different.…
We analyze the bit complexity of an algorithm for the computation of at least one point in each connected component of a smooth real algebraic set. This work is a continuation of our analysis of the hypersurface case (On the bit complexity…
We introduce enriched notions of purity depending on the left class $\mathcal E$ of a factorization system on the base $\mathcal V$ of enrichment. Ordinary purity is given by the class of surjective mappings in the category of sets. Under…
Let X be a real algebraic surface. The comparison between the volume of real and complex loci of ample divisors D brings us to define the concordance, which is a number between 0 and 1. This number equals 1 when the Picard number is 1, and…
We investigate the distribution of real algebraic numbers of a fixed degree having a close conjugate number, the distance between the conjugate numbers being given as a function of their height. The main result establishes the ubiquity of…
Two sets $A$ and $B$ of points in the plane are \emph{mutually avoiding} if no line generated by any two points in $A$ intersects the convex hull of $B$, and vice versa. In 1994, Aronov, Erd\H os, Goddard, Kleitman, Klugerman, Pach, and…
The purpose of this paper is to combine classical methods from transcendental number theory with the technique of restriction to real scalars. We develop a conceptual approach relating transcendence properties of algebraic groups to results…
We derive an exact uncertainty relation for arbitrary quantum states of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. For any given $k$-partition of a $d$-dimensional multipartite system, we introduce the total uncertainty as the sum of the…
This paper gives an explicit formula for the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of certain 2-dimensional polyhedra in terms of invariants of surface quotient singularities. Also, a formula for the dimension of the space of quasi-homogeneous…
We examine a moduli problem for real and quaternionic vector bundles on a smooth complex projective curve with a fixed real structure, and we give a gauge-theoretic construction of moduli spaces for semi-stable such bundles with fixed…
We prove a simple formula for arbitrary cluster variables in the marked surfaces model. As part of the formula, we associate a labeled poset to each tagged arc, such that the associated $F$-polynomial is a weighted sum of order ideals. Each…
We discuss algebraic universality in the sense of P. Vogel for the simplest refined quantity, the Macdonald dimensions. The main known source of universal quantities is given by Chern-Simons theory. Refinement of Chern-Simons theory means…
