Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set $\K\subset\R^n$, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of $\K$. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear…

We propose a new approach to the theory of normal forms for Hamiltonian systems near a non-resonant elliptic singular point. We consider the space of all Hamiltonian functions with such an equilibrium position at the origin and construct a…

Our purpose here is to give an overview of known results and open questions concerning the volume product ${\mathcal P}(K)=\min_{z\in K}{\rm vol}(K){\rm vol}((K-z)^*)$ of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$. We present a number of upper…

A fundamental issue in the $\lambda$-calculus is to find appropriate notions for meaningfulness. It is well-known that in the call-by-name $\lambda$-calculus (CbN) the meaningful terms can be identified with the solvable ones, and that this…

We introduce a notion of volume of a normal isolated singularity that generalizes Wahl's characteristic number of surface singularities to arbitrary dimensions. We prove a basic monotonicity property of this volume under finite morphisms.…

Reduced k-means clustering is a method for clustering objects in a low-dimensional subspace. The advantage of this method is that both clustering of objects and low-dimensional subspace reflecting the cluster structure are simultaneously…

It has recently been established byWang and Xia [WX] that local minimizers of perimeter within a ball subject to a volume constraint must be spherical caps or planes through the origin. This verifies a conjecture of the authors and is in…

A set $Q$ in $\mathbb{Z}_+^d$ is a lower set if $(k_1,\dots,k_d)\in Q$ implies $(l_1,\dots,l_d)\in Q$ whenever $0\le l_i\le k_i$ for all $i$. We derive new and refine known results regarding the cardinality of the lower sets of size $n$ in…

We extend the notion of the cardinality of a discrete groupoid (equal to the Euler characteristic of the corresponding discrete orbifold) to the setting of Lie groupoids. Since this quantity is an invariant under equivalence of groupoids,…

A real random variable admits median(s) and quantiles. These values minimize convex functions on $\mathbb R$. We show by "Convex Analysis" arguments that the function to be minimized is very natural. The relationship with some notions about…

The first part of this paper introduces an analogue, for one-dimensional, singular, complete local rings, of Gersten's injectivity conjecture for discrete valuation rings. Our main theorem is the verification of this conjecture when the…

We provide a natural generalization of a geometric conjecture of F\'{a}ry and R\'{e}dei regarding the volume of the convex hull of $K \subset {\mathbb R}^n$, and its negative image $-K$. We show that it implies Godbersen's conjecture…

The philosophy of the article is that the desingularization invariant together with natural geometric information can be used to compute local normal forms of singularities. The idea is used in two related problems: (1) We give a proof of…

Recent study in K-stability suggests that klt singularities whose local volumes are bounded away from zero should be bounded up to special degeneration. We show that this is true in dimension three, or when the minimal log discrepancies of…

We study periodic tessellations of the Euclidean space with unequal cells arising from the minimization of perimeter functionals. Existence results and qualitative properties of minimizers are discussed for different classes of problems,…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 3$. We study the variational properties of the $k$-th eigenvalue functional $\tilde g\in[g] \mapsto \lambda_k(L_{\tilde g})$ under a non-volume normalization proposed by…

The paper considers the representation of k-valued logical functions in the class of disjunctive normal forms. Various classes of monotone functions of k-valued logic are investigated. Theorems are proved on the coincidence of reduced and…

We prove, using invariant Zariski-Riemann spaces, that every normal toric variety over a valuation ring of rank one can be embedded as an open dense subset into a proper toric variety equivariantly. This extends a well known theorem of…

In [3], the authors showed the existence and the uniqueness of a sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant quantization in the non-critical situations. The curved generalization of the sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant quantization is the natural and projectively…

We show that diagonalization, products and lower truncations preserve the property of being a denormalized volume polynomial. We also discuss an application to poset inequalities.
