We show that the Fr\"oberg conjecture holds in the second non-trivial degree for an ideal generated by generic forms of degree $d>2$. We also show that the conjecture is true up to degree $2d-1$ provided that the number of variables is…

We show that the h-vector of a ladder determinantal ring cogenerated by M=[u_1|v_1] is log-concave. Thus we prove an instance of a conjecture of Stanley, resp. Conca and Herzog

In this paper we explore the general conditions in order that a 2-dimensional natural Hamiltonian system possess a second invariant which is a polynomial in the momenta and is therefore Liouville integrable. We examine the possibility that…

In this paper, we establish a local limit theorem for linear fields of random variables constructed from independent and identically distributed innovations each with finite second moment. When the coefficients are absolutely summable we do…

We propose a log-concavity conjecture for BPS invariants arising in the enumerative geometry of planar curve singularities, identified with the local Euler obstructions of Severi strata in their versal deformations. We further extend this…

In this paper, we mainly study the stability of iterated polynomials and linear transformations preserving the strong $q$-log-convexity of polynomials Let $[T_{n,k}]_{n,k\geq0}$ be an array of nonnegative numbers. We give some criteria for…

In this article we introduce associative Look-Up Tables. With their help, pseudo sums are correctly determined. The set of limit distributions in a pseudo-summation scheme of i.i.d. random variables is described. Also, two special cases…

We prove that if a standard determinantal scheme is level, then its h-vector is a log-concave pure O-sequence, and conjecture that the converse also holds. Among other cases, we prove the conjecture in codimension two, or when the entries…

In this paper we give simple proofs for the bounds (some of them sharp) of the difference of the moduli of the second and the first logarithmic coefficient for the general class of univalent functions and for the class of convex univalent…

We prove estimates for $\mathbb{E} \| X: \ell_{p'}^n \to \ell_q^m\|$ for $p,q\ge 2$ and any random matrix $X$ having the entries of the form $a_{ij}Y_{ij}$, where $Y=(Y_{ij})_{1\le i\le m, 1\le j\le n}$ has i.i.d. isotropic log-concave…

In this paper, we establish a residue theorem for Malcev-Neumann series that requires few constraints, and includes previously known combinatorial residue theorems as special cases. Our residue theorem identifies the residues of two formal…

We show that the Poincar\'e constant of a log-concave measure in Euclidean space is monotone increasing along the heat flow. In fact, the entire spectrum of the associated Laplace operator is monotone decreasing. Two proofs of these results…

In this paper, we develop the theory of relative log convergent cohomology. We prove the coherence of relative log convergent cohomology in certain case by using the comparison theorem between relative log convergent cohomlogy and relative…

We disprove a recent conjecture regarding discrete distributions and their generating polynomials stating that strong log-concavity implies log-submodularity.

In this work we prove an asymptotic result, that under some conditions on the involved distribution functions, is valid for any Oppenheim expansion, extending a classical result proven by W. Vervaat in 1972 for denominators of the Luroth…

We formulate a series of conjectures on the stable tensor product of irreducible representations of symmetric groups, which are closely related to the reduced Kronecker coefficients. These conjectures are certain generalizations of…

The validity of the strong law of large numbers for multiple sums $S_n$ of independent identically distributed random variables $Z_k$, $k\leq n$, with $r$-dimensional indices is equivalent to the integrability of $|Z|(\log^+|Z|)^{r-1}$,…

We establish a conjecture of Graham and Lov\'asz that the (normalized) coefficients of the distance characteristic polynomial of a tree are unimodal; we also prove they are log-concave.

We study log-concavity properties of real sequences $(a_n)_{n \ge 0}$ satisfying a $d$-th order linear recurrence whose coefficients are linear functions of $n$; the so-called P-recursive (or holonomic) sequences. Writing the recurrence in…

Copulas have now become ubiquitous statistical tools for describing, analysing and modelling dependence between random variables. Sklar's theorem, "the fundamental theorem of copulas", makes a clear distinction between the continuous case…
