We provide the full classification of algebraic embeddings of $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ satisfying certain regularity condition, which conjecturally holds for all algebraic maps from $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$. The…

We make connections of a counting problem of Eulerian cycles for undirected graphs to homological spectral graph theory, and formulate explicitly a trace formula that identifies the number of Eulerian circuits on an Eulerian graph with the…

In this paper we study relations between intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves and Hurwitz numbers. First, we prove two formulas expressing Hurwitz numbers of (generalized) polynomials via intersections on moduli spaces of curves.…

The square peg problem asks whether every continuous curve in the plane that starts and ends at the same point without self-intersecting contains four distinct corners of some square. Toeplitz conjectured in 1911 that this is indeed the…

This paper provides an alternate proof to parts of the Goulden-Slofstra formula for enumerating two vertex maps by genus, which is an extension of the famous Harer-Zagier formula that computes the Euler characteristic of the moduli space of…

We exhibit an algorithm to compute equations of an algebraic curve over a computable characteristic 0 field from the power series expansions of its regular 1-forms at a nonrational point of the curve, extending a 2005 algorithm of Baker,…

The problem of computing spectra of operators is arguably one of the most investigated areas of computational mathematics. However, the problem of computing spectra of general bounded infinite matrices has only recently been solved. We…

Quantum curves were introduced in the physics literature. We develop a mathematical framework for the case associated with Hitchin spectral curves. In this context, a quantum curve is a Rees $\mathcal{D}$-module on a smooth projective…

The asymptotic study of class numbers of binary quadratic forms is a foundational problem in arithmetic statistics. Here, we investigate finer statistics of class numbers by studying their self-correlations under additive shifts.…

We obtain a formula for the number of genus two curves with a fixed complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This is done by extending the…

We study the problem of counting the number of homomorphisms from an input graph $G$ to a fixed (quantum) graph $\bar{H}$ in any finite field of prime order $\mathbb{Z}_p$. The subproblem with graph $H$ was introduced by Faben and Jerrum…

We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…

For a class $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, #Sub$(\mathcal{H})$ is the counting problem that, given a graph $H\in \mathcal{H}$ and an arbitrary graph $G$, asks for the number of subgraphs of $G$ isomorphic to $H$. It is known that if $\mathcal{H}$…

In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in two dimensional complex projective space, of degree d, passing through d(d+3)/2-(k+1) generic points and having one node and one codimension k singularity, where k is…

We construct invariants for any closed semipositive symplectic manifold which count rational curves satisfying tangency constraints to a local divisor. More generally, we introduce invariants involving multibranched local tangency…

We study the problem $\#\mathrm{EdgeSub}(\Phi)$ of counting $k$-edge subgraphs satisfying a given graph property $\Phi$ in a large host graph $G$. Building upon the breakthrough result of Curticapean, Dell and Marx (STOC 17), we express the…

In many singular metric spaces, the regularity of a shortest-length curve is unknown. Algebraic varieties, or more generally sets defined by finitely many polynomial or real analytic equalities or inequalities, all locally partition into…

Given asymptotic counts in number theory, a question of Venkatesh asks what is the topological nature of lower order terms. We consider the arithmetic aspect of the inertia stack of an algebraic stack over finite fields to partially answer…

The Hurwitz space is a compactification of the space of rational functions of a given degree. We study the intersection of various strata of this space with its boundary. A study of the cohomology ring of the Hurwitz space then allows us to…

We consider the problem of defining and computing real analogs of polynomial Hurwitz numbers, in other words, the problem of counting properly normalized real polynomials with fixed ramification profiles over real branch points. We show…
