We consider pairs (X,A), where X is a variety with klt singularities and A is a formal product of ideals on X with exponents in a fixed set that satisfies the Descending Chain Condition. We also assume that X has (formally) bounded…

We utilize a discrete version of the notion of degree of freedom to prove a sharp min-entropy-variance inequality for integer valued log-concave random variables. More specifically, we show that the geometric distribution minimizes the…

We introduce a notion of retraction between continuous maps of topological spaces and study the behavior of several numerical invariants under such retractions. These include (co)homological dimensions, the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category,…

We propose a level proximal subdifferential for a proper lower semicontinuous function. Level proximal subdifferential is a uniform refinement of the well-known proximal subdifferential, and has the pleasant feature that its resolvent…

We minimise the Canham-Helfrich energy in the class of closed immersions with prescribed genus, surface area and enclosed volume. Compactness is achieved in the class of oriented varifolds. The main result is a lower-semicontinuity estimate…

A limit variety is a variety that is minimal with respect to being non-finitely based. Since the turn of the millennium, much attention has been given to the classification of limit varieties of aperiodic monoids. Seven explicit examples…

We study the semicontinuity of automorphism groups for perturbations of domains in complex space or in complex manifolds. We provide a new approach to the study of such results for domains having minimal boundary smoothness. The emphasis in…

We begin with the observation, based on previous results, that dimension-free lower bounds on the variance of a polynomial under a log-concave measure yield dimension-free small-ball and Fourier decay estimates. Motivated by this, we…

For a fixed pair and fixed exponents, we prove the discreteness of log discrepancies over all log canonical triples formed by attaching a product of ideals with given exponents.

We study the obstruction degrees of translates of sub-tori of multiplicative tori and we show how they are connected to lower bounds for the essential minimum of these varieties. In particular, we combine our computations with results of A.…

This paper introduces the proper notion of variational quasiconvexity associated to a group of diffeomorphisms. We prove a lower semicontinuity theorem connected to this notion. In the second part of the paper we apply this result to a…

Let $S$ be a seminorm on an infinite-dimensional real or complex vector space $X$. Our purpose in this note is to study the continuity and discontinuity properties of $S$ with respect to certain norm-topologies on $X$.

For variable-length coding with an almost-sure distortion constraint, Zhang et al. show that for discrete sources the redundancy is upper bounded by $\log n/n$ and lower bounded (in most cases) by $\log n/(2n)$, ignoring lower order terms.…

Motivated by the search for methods to establish strong minimality of certain low order algebraic differential equations, a measure of how far a finite rank stationary type is from being minimal is introduced and studied: The {\em degree of…

Let C be a linear code with length n and minimum distance d. The stopping redundancy of C is defined as the minimum number of rows in a parity-check matrix for C such that the smallest stopping sets in the corresponding Tanner graph have…

We derive a simple lower bound for the multi-version coding problem formulated in [1]. We also propose simple algorithms that almost match the lower bound derived. Another lower bound is proven for an extended version of the multi-version…

We consider the convexity properties of distortion functionals, particularly the linear distortion, defined for homeomorphisms of domains in Euclidean $n$-spaces, $n\geq 3$. The inner and outer distortion functionals are lower…

Mixtures of high dimensional Gaussian distributions have been studied extensively in statistics and learning theory. While the total variation distance appears naturally in the sample complexity of distribution learning, it is analytically…

Multifractal analysis of stochastic processes deals with the fine scale properties of the sample paths and seeks for some global scaling property that would enable extracting the so-called spectrum of singularities. In this paper we…
