We propose a version of the volume conjecture that would relate a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot to the volume function defined by a representation of the fundamental group of the knot complement to the special…
In this addendum, we give a differential form interpretation of the proof of the main theorem of arXiv:1812.02448, which gives lower bounds of the dimensions of $\pi_k(B\mathrm{Diff}(D^4,\partial))\otimes\mathbb{Q}$ in terms of the…
For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…
A minor improvement is made to the calculation of the inhomogeneity term. The new calculation gives better agreement with the observations of Daoud et al. and Cheng-Graessley-Melnichenko.
The purpose of this note is to verify that the archimedean multiplicity one theorems shown for orthogonal groups (as well as general linear and unitary groups) in a previous paper of the authors remain valid for special orthogonal groups.…
This paper has been removed by the author due to a misstatement in Theorem 1 and a gap in its proof. A corrected and largely extended successor (a joint work with Thomas Bauer and Tomasz Szemberg) can be found under math.AG/0312211,
We fill in a gap in the proof of the main theorem in our earlier paper [Ol]. At the same time, we prove a slightly stronger version of the theorem needed for another paper.
In this paper I prove a conjecture which gives a lower bound for the largest absolute value of the coefficients of the n-th cyclotomic polynomial for some n. Moreover this estimate is essentially sharp.
In this paper, we prove the integrality conjecture for quotient stacks arising from weakly symmetric representations of reductive groups. Our main result is a decomposition of the cohomology of the stack into finite-dimensional components…
For any n>1 we determine the uniform and nonuniform lattices of the smallest covolume in the Lie group Sp(n,1). We explicitly describe them in terms of the ring of Hurwitz integers in the nonuniform case with n even, respectively, of the…
This paper concerns the characterisation of second order marginals for random sets in a discrete setting. Under the instance of unit covariances, this problem possesses a combinatorial symmetry, exploited jointly in the companion paper to…
After the publication of [Compos. Math. 156 (2020), no. 4, 822-861], Andrew Putman pointed out a mistake in our paper and helped us fix it. In this note, we will explain what this mistake is and how to fix it.
We show that the Volume Conjecture for polyhedra implies a weak version of the Stoker Conjecture; in turn we prove that this weak version of the Stoker conjecture implies the Stoker conjecture. The main tool used is an extension of a result…
A theorem of W. Derrick ensures that the volume of any Riemannian cube $([0,1]^n,g)$ is bounded below by the product of the distances between opposite codimension-1 faces. In this paper, we establish a discrete analog of Derrick's…
The article treats some questions around Gromov's filling area conjecture. It intended to show that any filling with volume $< 2 \pi$ would not be attained and to show a local systolic inequality, implying an a priori lower estimate on the…
This very short correction notes a gap in an argument of an earlier paper, and also provides a theorem of similar flavor to the main result of that paper.
In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula involves a new class of generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, all of which surprisingly seem to be…
We establish that standard arithmetic subgroups of a special orthogonal group ${\rm SO}(1,n)$ are conjugacy separable. As an application we deduce this property for unit groups of certain integer group rings. We also prove that finite…
A corrigendum of a former result on semisimplicity of the category of integrable modules of a q-boson algebra is given with a counter example.
We derive explicit isomorphisms between certain congruence subgroups of the Siegel modular group, the Hermitian modular group over an arbitrary imaginary-quadratic number field and the modular group over the Hurwitz quaternions of degree 2…
