A cohomological vanishing property is proved for finitely supported ideals in an arbitrary d-dimensional regular local ring. (Such vanishing implies some refined Briancon-Skoda-type results, not otherwise known in mixed characteristic.) It…
Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…
We prove that the Lie commutator subalgebra of the associative algebra containing a matrix subalgebra is perfect.
Using properties of the Fourier transform we prove that if a Hartree-Fock molecular spatial orbital is in $L_1(\mathbb{R}^3)$, then it decays to zero as its argument diverges to infinity. The proof is rigorous, elementary, and short. Our…
A conjecture of Kac states that the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with given dimension vector has positive coefficients and furthermore that its constant term is…
We introduce the notions of $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point and weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point. We show that for a group of unitary matrices even the existence of a nontrivial weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point for…
We prove sufficient conditions for the existence of conjugate points along geodesics of a left-invariant metric on a Lie group, using a reformulation of the index form in terms of the adjoint action. In the compact semisimple case, with an…
On a real ($\mathbb F=\mathbb R$) or complex ($\mathbb F=\mathbb C$) analytic connected 2-manifold $M$ with empty boundary consider two vector fields $X,Y$. We say that $Y$ {\it tracks} $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function…
Let Y and X denote C^k vector fields on a possibly noncompact surface with empty boundary, k >0. Say that Y tracks X if the dynamical system it generates locally permutes integral curves of X. Let K be a locally maximal compact set of…
A uniqueness theorem for an LU decomposition of a totally nonnegative matrix is obtained.
We show that certain determinantal functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. These are shown to be true in complete generality; that is, no properties of…
We investigate self-adjoint matrices $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ with respect to their equivariance properties. We show in particular that a matrix is self-adjoint if and only if it is equivariant with respect to the action of a group…
We study complete non-compact manifolds of positive scalar curvature, with a focus on how curvature decay is constrained by topology at infinity. Our first main result shows that topological linking at infinity forces polynomial decay of…
The following results are proved: The center of any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, non-affine Coxeter group is trivial; Any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, non-affine Coxeter group cannot be expressed…
We reprove and generalize the result that the intersection cohomology groups of a toric variety with coefficient in a nontrivial rank one local system vanish. We prove a similar vanishing result for a certain class of varieties on which a…
We prove a variant of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem for simply connected supersolvable Lie groups, namely we show that the convolution algebras of compactly supported continuous functions and compactly supported finite measures on such…
We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…
To a finite dimensional representation of a complex Lie group $G$, an associative algebra of adjoint covariant polynomial maps from the direct sum of $m$ copies of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$ into an algebra of complex matrices is…

We prove that the degree $r(2p-3)$ cohomology of any (untwisted) finite group of Lie type over $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, with coefficients in characteristic $p$, is nonzero as long as its Coxeter number is at most $p$. We do this by providing a…
