Let $D\in\mathbb{N}$, let $A>D+1$, and let $Q\geqslant3$. Consider the class of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $|\sum_{n\leqslant x}f(n)|\le x(\log Q)^{A-D-1}/(\log x)^A$ for all $x\geqslant Q$, and such that…

Logarithms of determinants of large positive definite matrices appear ubiquitously in machine learning applications including Gaussian graphical and Gaussian process models, partition functions of discrete graphical models, minimum-volume…

We prove that any extended formulation that approximates the matching polytope on $n$-vertex graphs up to a factor of $(1+\varepsilon)$ for any $\frac2n \le \varepsilon \le 1$ must have at least $\binom{n}{{\alpha}/{\varepsilon}}$ defining…

In this note, we show that for each minimal norm $N(\cdot)$ on the algebra $M_n$ of all $n \times n$ complex matrices, there exist norms $\|\cdot\|_1$ and $\|\cdot\|_2$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ such that $$N(A)=\max\{\|Ax\|_2: \|x\|_1=1, x\in…

A vector space A of matrices is called rank-critical if any vector space that properly contains A has a strictly higher generic rank. I present a sufficient condition for A to be rank-critical, and apply this condition to prove that certain…

We introduce various quantities that can be defined for an arbitrary matroid, and show that certain conditions on these quantities imply that a matroid is not representable over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power. Mostly, for a…

We consider approximation of diameter of a set $S$ of $n$ points in dimension $m$. E$\tilde{g}$ecio$\tilde{g}$lu and Kalantari \cite{kal} have shown that given any $p \in S$, by computing its farthest in $S$, say $q$, and in turn the…

We prove that $n$-bit integers may be multiplied in $O(n \log n \, 4^{\log^* n})$ bit operations. This complexity bound had been achieved previously by several authors, assuming various unproved number-theoretic hypotheses. Our proof is…

Let $Q(n)$ denote the number of integers $1 \leq q \leq n$ whose prime factorization $q= \prod^{t}_{i=1}p^{a_i}_i$ satisfies $a_1\geq a_2\geq \ldots \geq a_t$. Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $$ \log Q(n) \sim \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}…

The existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in hierarchical loglinear models is crucial to the reliability of inference for this model. Determining whether the estimate exists is equivalent to finding whether the sufficient statistics…

An \emph{indexing} of a finite set $S$ is a bijection $D : \{1,...,|S|\} \rightarrow S$. We present an indexing for the set of quadratic residues modulo $N$ that is decodable in polynomial time on the size of $N$, given the factorization of…

We prove that the subset sum problem has a polynomial time computable certificate of infeasibility for all $a$ weight vectors with density at most $1/(2n)$ and for almost all integer right hand sides. The certificate is branching on a…

Motivated by partition regularity problems of homogeneous quadratic equations, we prove multiple recurrence and convergence results for multiplicative measure preserving actions with iterates given by rational sequences involving…

We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new results as well as strengthen existing results with new proofs.…

A metric space $M$ us said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension $n$ (br., $M\in \mathrm{FAP}(n)$) if for any $\epsilon>0$, $m\geq 0$ and any map $g: I^m\times I^n\to M$ there exists a map $g':I^m\times I^n\to M$ such that…

Consider a rectangular matrix describing some type of communication or transportation between a set of origins and a set of destinations, or a classification of objects by two attributes. The problem is to infer the entries of the matrix…

We prove that for all $b$, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of $m \times n$ matrices $\epsilon$-badly approximable for the target $b$ is not full. The doubly metric case follows. It was known that for almost every matrix $A$, the…

We study the complexity of approximating the permanent of a positive semidefinite matrix $A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$. 1. We design a new approximation algorithm for $\mathrm{per}(A)$ with approximation ratio $e^{(0.9999 + \gamma)n}$,…

We establish new exponential in dimension lower bounds for the Maximum Halfspace Discrepancy problem, which models linear classification. Both are fundamental problems in computational geometry and machine learning in their exact and…

A distance matrix $A \in \mathbb R^{n \times m}$ represents all pairwise distances, $A_{ij}=\mathrm{d}(x_i,y_j)$, between two point sets $x_1,...,x_n$ and $y_1,...,y_m$ in an arbitrary metric space $(\mathcal Z, \mathrm{d})$. Such matrices…
