Let $(a_n), (b_n)$ be linear recursive sequences of integers with characteristic polynomials $A(X),B(X)\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ respectively. Assume that $A(X)$ has a dominating and simple real root $\alpha$, while $B(X)$ has a pair of conjugate…

We present the elementary properties of log canonical centers of log varieties.

In this paper, we prove that the log minimal model program in dimension $d-1$ implies the existence of log minimal models for effective lc pairs (eg of nonnegative Kodaira dimension) in dimension $d$. In fact, we prove that the same…

We make four contributions to the theory of optimal subspace packings and equi-isoclinic subspaces: (1) a new lower bound for block coherence, (2) an exact count of equi-isoclinic subspaces of even dimension $r$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2r+1}$ with…

We give some explicit upper bounds on the effective birationality of the canonical or anti-canonical system for a singular surface. In particular, we show that for any surface $X$ with $\epsilon$-lc singularity and the canonical divisor…

One method to determine whether or not a system of partial differential equations is consistent is to attempt to construct a solution using merely the "algebraic data" associated to the system. In technical terms, this translates to the…

In this note, we give a bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in terms of the degrees of its generators. We assume that $I$ defines a local complete intersection with log canonical singularities.

Linear differential equations and recurrences reveal many properties about their solutions. Therefore, these equations are well-suited for representing solutions and computing with special functions. We identify a large class of existing…

Given a polynomial $f$ defined over a number field $K$, we make effective certain special cases of a conjecture of S. Ih, on the finiteness of $f$-preperiodic points which are $S$-integral with respect to a fixed non-preperiodic point…

For indefinite (Pontryagin space) canonical systems that contain an inner singularity we prove the existence of generalised boundary values at the singularity, which are used to formulate interface conditions. With the help of such…

In terms of log canonical threshold, we characterize plurisubharmonic functions with logarithmic asymptotical behaviour.

The set of all error-correcting codes C over a fixed finite alphabet F of cardinality q determines the set of code points in the unit square with coordinates (R(C), delta (C)):= (relative transmission rate, relative minimal distance). The…

We examine canonical bases for weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $0$ and level $p = 2, 3, 5, 7, 13$ with poles only at the cusp at $\infty$. We show that many of the Fourier coefficients for elements of these canonical bases are…

A general canonical curve X determines a finite set T(X) of hyperplanes, which is in bijective correspondence with the set of odd theta-characteristics of X. The definition of T(X) can be extended to certain singular curves, in a way that…

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein canonical Fano variety of coindex $4$ and dimension $n$ with $H$ fundamental divisor. Assume $h^0(X, H) \geq n -2$. We prove that a general element of the linear system $|mH|$ has at worst canonical singularities for…

Let $M$ be an analytic manifold over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, $\theta$ a $1$-dimensional Log-Canonical (resp. monomial) singular distribution and $\mathcal{I}$ a coherent ideal sheaf defined on $M$. We prove the existence of a…

We consider the uniqueness of solutions of ordinary differential equations where the coefficients may have singularities. We derive upper bounds on the the order of singularities of the coefficients and provide examples to illustrate the…

Given a local field $F$ of positive characteristic, an $F$-analytic manifold $X$ and an analytic function $f:X\rightarrow F$, the $F$-analytic log-canonical threshold $\mathrm{lct}_{F}(f;x_{0})$ is the supremum over the values $s\geq0$ such…

The paper considers a global version of the notion of log canonical threshold for plurisubharmonic functions $u$ of logarithmic growth in $\mathbb{C}^n$, aiming at description of the range of all $p>0$ such that $e^{-u}\in…
