Let $p$ be a polynomial in the non-commuting variables $(a,x)=(a_1,...,a_{g_a},x_1,...,x_{g_x})$. If $p$ is convex in the variables $x$, then $p$ has degree two in $x$ and moreover, $p$ has the form $p = L + \Lambda ^T \Lambda,$ where $L$…

A matroid is sticky if any two of its extensions by disjoint sets can be glued together along the common restriction (that is, they have an amalgam). The sticky matroid conjecture asserts that a matroid is sticky if and only if it is…

The modified Macdonald polynomials, introduced by Garsia and Haiman (1996), have many astounding combinatorial properties. One such class of properties involves applying the related $\nabla$ operator of Bergeron and Garsia (1999) to basic…

The composition factors of Kac-modules for the general linear Lie superalgebras $gl_{m|n}$ are explicitly determined. In particular, a conjecture of Hughes, King and van der Jeugt in [J. Math. Phys., 41 (2000), 5064-5087] is proved.

The Stoker problem, first formulated in 1968, consists in understanding to what extent a convex polyhedron is determined by its dihedral angles. By means of the double construction, this problem is intimately related to rigidity issues for…

In 2013, Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava resolved the famous Kadison-Singer conjecture. It states that for $n$ independent random vectors $v_1,\cdots, v_n$ that have expected squared norm bounded by $\epsilon$ and are in the isotropic…

A general elliptic $N\times N$ matrix Lax scheme is presented, leading to two classes of elliptic lattice systems, one which we interpret as the higher-rank analogue of the Landau-Lifschitz equations, while the other class we characterize…

Two polynomials $F_k(X_1,\dots,X_k)$ and $\Theta_k(X_1,\dots,X_k)$ over $\Bbb F_2$ arose from the study of a conjecture by C. Carlet about the sum-freedom of the multiplicative inverse function of $\Bbb F_{2^n}$. Both $F_k$ and $\Theta_k$…

A while ago MLC (the conjecture that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected) was proven for quasi-hyperbolic points by Douady and Hubbard, and for boundaries of hyperbolic components by Yoccoz. More recently Yoccoz proved MLC for all at…

In a 1986 paper, Smyth proposed a conjecture about which integer-linear relations were possible among Galois-conjugate algebraic numbers. We prove this conjecture. The main tools (as Smyth already anticipated) are combinatorial rather than…

Several examples are given illustrating the (presumably rather general) fact that bosonic Hamiltonians that are supersymmetrizable automatically possess Lax-pairs, and square-roots.

A fundamental paper of Elliott Lieb from 1973 has been the basis for much beautiful work on matrix inequalities by many people over the following years. We review a well-connected set of these developments. Some new proofs are provided.

A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…

For the 1+1 dimensional Lax pair with a symplectic symmetry and cyclic symmetries, it is shown that there is a natural finite dimensional Hamiltonian system related to it by presenting a unified Lax matrix. The Liouville integrability of…

We consider a hierarchy of many particle systems on the line with polynomial potentials separable in parabolic coordinates. Using the Lax representation, written in terms of $2\times 2$ matrices for the whole hierarchy, we construct the…

We prove a generalization of the Hermitian version of the Helton-Vinnikov determinantal representation of hyperbolic polynomials to the class of semi-hyperbolic polynomials, a strictly larger class, as shown by an example. We also prove…

Harmonic numbers are important in a lot of branches of number theory. By means of the derivative operator, the integral operator, and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series containing…

By deploying dense subalgebras of $\ell^1(G)$ we generalize the Bass conjecture in terms of Connes' cyclic homology theory. In particular, we propose a stronger version of the $\ell^1$-Bass Conjecture. We prove that hyperbolic groups…

In 1999, K. Bezdek posed a conjecture stating that among all convex bodies in $\mathbb R^3$, ellipsoids and bodies of revolution are characterized by the fact that all their planar sections have an axis of reflection. We prove Bezdek's…

With this article, we hope to launch the investigation of what we call the real zero amalgamation problem. Whenever a polynomial arises from another polynomial by substituting zero for some of its variables, we call the second polynomial an…
