The McKay Conjecture (MC) asserts the existence of a bijection between the (inequivalent) complex irreducible representations of degree coprime to $p$ ($p$ a prime) of a finite group $G$ and those of the subgroup $N$, the normalizer of…

Let A be an idempotent algebra on a finite domain. We combine results of Chen, Zhuk and Carvalho et al. to argue that if A satisfies the polynomially generated powers property (PGP), then QCSP(Inv(A)) is in NP. We then use the result of…

We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…

Let F be a finite field of characteristic 2 and h be the element x^3+y^3+xyz of F[[x,y,z]]. In an earlier paper we made a precise conjecture as to the values of the colengths of the ideals (x^q,y^q,z^q,h^j) for q a power of 2. We also…

Let k be an algebraically closed field and A be a finitely generated, centrally finite, non- negatively graded (not necessarily commutative) k-algebra. In this note we construct a representation scheme for graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay A…

We give a systematic approach to constructing non-reduced, locally Cohen-Macaulay schemes with reduced support a smooth projective variety. The hierarchy of such structures includes a lot of information about the underlying variety, its…

The well-known $abc$-conjecture concerns triples $(a,b,c)$ of non-zero integers that are coprime and satisfy ${a+b+c=0}$. The strong $n$-conjecture is a generalisation to $n$ summands where integer solutions of the equation ${a_1 + \ldots +…

We prove that there exist infinitely many coprime numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ with $a+b=c$ and $c>\operatorname{rad}(abc)\exp(6.563\sqrt{\log c}/\log\log c)$. These are the most extremal examples currently known in the $abc$ conjecture, thereby…

For $\mathbb N^*:=\mathbb N \setminus \{0\}$, we consider the collection $\mathfrak M(N)$ of all the $N$ rows, for which, for $n=1,\cdots,N$, the $n-th$ row consists of an increasing sequence $(a_j^n)_j$ of real numbers. For $\mathfrak A…

We use the results by Eisenbud and Schreyer to prove that any Betti diagram of a graded module over a standard graded polynomial ring is a positive linear combination Betti diagrams of modules with a pure resolution. This implies the…

We study the arithmetical ranks and the cohomological dimensions of an infinite class of Cohen-Macaulay varieties of minimal degree. Among these we find, on the one hand, infinitely many set-theoretic complete intersections, on the other…

We prove that the cohomology class of any curve on a very general principally polarized abelian variety of dimension at least 4 is an even multiple of the minimal class. The same holds for the intermediate Jacobian of a very general cubic…

We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…

In this article we show that a wide range of multiple structures on curves arise whenever a family of embeddings degenerates to a morphism $\varphi$ of degree $n$. One could expect to see, when an embedding degenerates to such a morphism,…

We prove the non-symmetric Mahler conjecture in dimension three. More precisely, we prove the sharp lower bound \[ \mathcal P(K) \geq \frac{64}{9} \] for every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^3$, where $\mathcal P(K)$ denotes the…

We show that Miyaoka's bound for the number of conics on a degree-2h K3 surface is attained for high h, and analogously for higher even degree (smooth) rational curves.

This work consists of two parts. In the first part we develop new techniques to compute Koszul cohomology groups for several classes of varieties. As applications we prove results on projective normality and syzygies for algebraic surfaces.…

The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…

We find a sufficient condition that $\H$ is not level based on a reduction number. In particular, we prove that a graded Artinian algebra of codimension 3 with Hilbert function $\H=(h_0,h_1,..., h_{d-1}>h_d=h_{d+1})$ cannot be level if…

In this paper, we provide tight lower bounds for the oracle complexity of minimizing high-order H\"older smooth and uniformly convex functions. Specifically, for a function whose $p^{th}$-order derivatives are H\"older continuous with…
