We prove that the intersection of a Hirsch polytope and a cube may be a non-Hirsch polytope.

It was conjectured by Tian that the global log canonical threshold (known as the $\alpha$-invariant) is equal to the level $k$ log canonical threshold (known as the $\alpha_k$-invariant) for all sufficiently large $k$. A weaker folklore…

The purpose of this note is to explain that the combinatorial local log-concavity conjecture introduced by Gross, Mansour, Tucker and Wang (Eur. J. Comb. 52, 207-222, 2016) in fact follows from a result of Stanley (Eur. J. Comb. 32 (6),…

We give a detailed and unified survey of equivariant $KK$-theory over locally compact, second countable, locally Hausdorff groupoids. We indicate precisely how the "classical" proofs relating to the Kasparov product can be used almost…

We establish an analogue of the Goldbach conjecture for Laurent polynomials with positive integer coefficients.

In this paper, we obtain some new inequalities for functions whose second derivatives' absolute value is s-convex and log-convex. Also, we give some applications for numerical integration.

We study some versions of the statement of Hadwiger's conjecture for finite as well as infinite graphs.

Stability version of the Prekopa-Leindler inequality for log-concave functions on the n-dimensional Euclidean space is established.

We develop in this paper an amelioration of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux in GAFA (2000). We prove by Prekopa-Leindler Theorem an optimal modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all log-concave measure on $\dR^n$.…

A Littlewood polynomial is a single-variable polynomial all of whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. We establish the leading term asymptotics of the number of reciprocal or skew-reciprocal Littlewood polynomials with square discriminant.…

We derive two-sided bounds for moments of linear combinations of coordinates od unconditional log-concave vectors. We also investigate how well moments of such combinations may be approximated by moments of Gaussian random variables.

Menon's proof of the preservation of log-concavity of sequences under convolution becomes simpler when adapted to 2-sided infinite sequences. Under assumption of log-concavity of two 2-sided infinite sequences, the existence of the…

We extend to the matrix setting a recent result of Srivastava-Vershynin about estimating the covariance matrix of a random vector. The result can be in- terpreted as a quantified version of the law of large numbers for positive…

We propose several Hodge theoretic analogues of the conjectures of Hopf and Singer, and prove them in some special cases.

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…

We study the log-concave measures, their characterization via the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler property and also define a subset of it whose elements are called super log-concave measures which have the property of satisfying a logarithmic Sobolev…

We give a minimal counterexample for a conjecture of Ross and Yong (2015) which proposes a K-Kohnert rule for Grothendieck polynomials. We conjecture a revised version of this rule. We then prove both rules hold in the $321$-avoiding case.

We present three different upper bounds for Kronecker coefficients $g(\lambda,\mu,\nu)$ in terms of Kostka numbers, contingency tables and Littlewood--Richardson coefficients. We then give various examples, asymptotic applications, and…

We prove several different anti-concentration inequalities for functions of independent Bernoulli-distributed random variables. First, motivated by a conjecture of Alon, Hefetz, Krivelevich and Tyomkyn, we prove some "Poisson-type"…

We prove a conjecture by Shannon Starr regarding the asymptotics for the number of tuples of commuting permutations with given number of joint orbits. These numbers generalize unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind which count how many…
