We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying spaces of the ``braided" automorphism groups of the associated trees. An intermediate step to...
We show that for any two sets of reals numbers $A=\{a_1,\dots,a_n\}$ and $B=\{b_1,\dots,b_n\}$, the sums of the form $\sum_{i=1}^n a_i\,b_{π(i)}$ always take on $Ω(n^{3})$ distinct values, as we range over all permutations $π\in S_n$. An important ingredient is a ``supportive'' version of Halász's anticoncentration theorem from...
We establish new connections between integral curvature bounds and the Euler characteristic of closed Riemannian manifolds through the perspective of Schrödinger-type operators. Central to our approach is the twisted Dirac operator \(\mathcal{D}_θ\), whose index equals \(χ(M)\). Under integral smallness conditions on the negative part...
We give an alternative proof to the theorem recently proved by Louvaris, Wise and Yehuda, that the growth rates of finitely generated subgroups of $F_r$ are dense in $[1,2r-1]$.
A family of permutations $\mathcal{F} \subseteq S_n$ is even-cycle-intersecting if $σπ^{-1}$ has an even cycle for all $σ,π\in \mathcal{F}$. We show that if $\mathcal{F} \subseteq S_n$ is an even-cycle-intersecting family of permutations, then $|\mathcal{F}| \leq 2^{n-1}$, and that equality holds when $n$ is a power of 2 and...
We present a class of non-cylindrical domains where Dirichlet-type problems for parabolic equations, such as the heat equation, can be posed and solved. The regularity for the boundary of this class of domains is a mixed Lipschitz condition, as described in the bulk of the paper. The main tool is an adequate version of the implicit...
In this paper, we introduce the notion of the second Bohr radius for vector valued pluriharmonic functions on complete Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. This investigation is motivated by the work of Lev Aizenberg [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 128 (2000), 1147-1155], where the corresponding problem was studied for complex valued...
Let $s$ be a fixed hyperelliptic involution of the closed, oriented genus $g$ surface $Σ_g$. The hyperelliptic Torelli group $\mathcal{SI}_g$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}(Σ_g)$ consisting of elements that act trivially on $\mathrm{H}_1(Σ_g;\mathbb{Z})$ and commute with $s$. It is generated by Dehn twists...
The purpose of this paper is to study the number of limit cycles of canard type in linear regularizations of piecewise linear systems with non-monotonic transition functions. Using the notion of slow divergence integral and elementary breaking mechanisms, we construct systems with an arbitrary finite number of hyperbolic limit cycles....
We say that $d_3(n)$ has exponent of distribution $θ$ if, for every $\varepsilon>0$, the expected asymptotic holds uniformly for all moduli $q \le x^{θ-\varepsilon}$. Nguyen proved, following earlier work of Banks, Heath-Brown, and Shparlinski, that after averaging over reduced residue classes $a \bmod q$, the function $d_3(n)$ has...
Jacobson's commutativity theorem says that a ring is commutative if, for each $x$, $x^n = x$ for some $n > 1$. Herstein's generalization says that the condition can be weakened to $x^n-x$ being central. In both theorems, $n$ may depend on $x$. In this paper, in certain cases where $n$ is a fixed constant, we find equational proofs of...
We establish upper and lower bounds on the maximal number of steps needed to transform a cyclic permutation to the canonical cyclic permutation using conjugation by adjacent transpositions, and on the diameter of the underlying Schreier graph.
We give novel and explicit formulas for the Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of rational simple polytopes, in terms of Barnes polynomials and discrete moments of half-open parallelepipeds. These formulas also hold for all positive dilations of a rational polytope. There is an interesting appearance of an extra complex z-parameter, which...
We evaluate definite integrals involving the product of four modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind and a power function. We provide general formulas expressed in terms of the Meijer $G$-function and generalized hypergeometric and Lauricella $F_C$ functions, and study a number of special cases in which the integrals...
We study a one-parameter family of binomial-convolution operators acting on sequences. These operators form an additive semigroup with an explicit inverse, and they subsume iterated classical binomial transforms as a special case. We describe the action in terms of ordinary and exponential generating functions, interpret the transform...
An $L(3,2,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ of nonnegative integers to vertices such that $\vert f(x)-f(y)\vert > 3-\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ for every pair $x,y$ of vertices of $G$, where $\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ denotes the distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$. The minimum span (i.e., the difference between the largest and the...
We introduce an extension of interpolation theory to more than two spaces by employing a functional parameter, while retaining a fully functorial and systematic framework. This approach allows for the construction of generalized intermediate spaces and ensures stability under natural operations such as powers and convex combinations....
Despite its elementary definition, the self-avoiding walk (SAW) poses notoriously hard enumerative problems: exact connective constants are known for only a handful of infinite graphs, notably the honeycomb lattice \cite{ds}. We establish a general substitution principle for SAWs on infinite connected quasi-transitive cubic graphs...
We develop a Dieudonné theory for $p$-divisible groups using sheared Witt vectors.
We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective space, the codimension-two part of its singular scheme must have degree at least $d+1$. Moreover,...
In this paper, we generalize the notion of connections, which was introduced by Alain Connes in noncommutative differential geometry, to the differential graded (DG) homological algebra setting. Then, along a DG algebra homomorphism $A \to B$, where $B$ is assumed to be projective as an underlying graded $A$-module, we give necessary...
It is known that, in univalent mathematics, type universes, the type of $n$-types in a universe, reflective subuniverses, and the underlying type of any algebra of the lifting monad are all (algebraically) injective. Here, we further show that the type of ordinals, the type of iterative (multi)sets, the underlying type of any pointed...
Symplectic geometry plays an increasingly important role in mathematics, physics and applications, and naturally gives rise to interesting matrix families and properties. One of these is the notion of symplectic eigenvalues, whose existence for positive definite matrices is known as Williamson's theorem or decomposition. This notion...
We present a dynamical low-rank (DLR) method for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) system. Our main contributions are two-fold: (i) a conservative spatial discretization of the Fokker-Planck operator that factors into velocity-only and space-only components, enabling efficient low-rank projection, and (ii) a time discretization...
We prove a two-parameter family of continued fraction identities for $\arctan(p/q)$, where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers with $p\le q$. For every such pair, the identity \[ \arctan\frac{p}{q} = \cfrac{p}{q+\cfrac{p^2}{3q+\cfrac{(2p)^2}{5q+\cfrac{(3p)^2}{7q+\cdots}}}} \] holds, and a sign-flipped variant represents...
