We introduce and study the maximal-variation locus in families and moduli spaces of projective curves, defined via conductor-level balancing of meromorphic differentials on the normalization. This notion captures precisely when the space of canonical differentials behaves with the expected dimension under degeneration. We prove...
The performance of eigenvalue problem solvers (eigensolvers) depends on various factors such as preconditioning and eigenvalue distribution. Developing stable and rapidly converging vectorwise eigensolvers is a crucial step in improving the overall efficiency of their blockwise implementations. The present paper is concerned with the...
Olsson showed in [Ols25] that if $\mathcal{X} \to X$ is a $\mathbf{G}_m$-gerbe over a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ such that the Brauer class of $\mathcal{X}$ has order prime to the characteristic of $k$, then the homomorphism of $k$-group algebraic spaces $\operatorname{Aut}^0_{\mathcal{X}} \to...
This work was intended to be all about, and only about, hypergeometric 3F2(1). The initial goal was to revisit many identities from the literature that have been derived over the years and show that they can be obtained in a simpler way armed, with only a minimum of elementary identities. That goal has been achieved as a (patient)...
We answer a question of Arant, Kechris and Lutz by showing that there is a Borel graphable equivalence relation with no Borel graphing of diameter less than 3. More specifically, we prove that there is an equivalence relation with a Borel graphing of diameter at most 4 but no Borel graphing of diameter less than 3. Our proof relies on...
We study the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure associated with families of reduced algebraic curves with singularities. The analysis applies to curves beyond the nodal case and is not restricted to plane curves, encompassing curves lying on smooth projective surfaces as well as families with more general isolated...
It is well known that the $q$-Whittaker polynomials, which are $t=0$ specializations of the Macdonald polynomials $P_λ(X;q,t)$, expand positively as the sum of Schur polynomials. Macdonald polynomials have a quasisymmetric refinement: the quasisymmetric Macdonald polynomials $G_γ(X;q,t)$, and a nonsymmetric refinement: the ASEP...
This research examines the influence of the Coriolis parameter on the behaviour of the geophysical Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. To efficiently approximate its solution, a novel surrogate framework, termed G-KdVNet, is proposed by integrating artificial neural networks with the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). In the proposed...
We consider a fourth-order regularization of the curvature flow for an immersed plane curve with fixed boundary, using an elastica-type functional depending on a small positive parameter $\varepsilon$. We show that the approximating flow smoothly converges, as $\varepsilon \to 0^+$, to the curvature flow of the curve with Dirichlet...
Classical anti-concentration results focus on the random sum $S := \sum _{i=1}^n ξ_i v_i$, where $ξ_i$ are independent random variables and $v_i$ are real numbers. In this paper, we prove new concentration results concerning the random sum $S := \sum_{i=1}^n w_{π_i } v_i $, where $w_i , v_i$ are real numbers and $π$ is a random permutation.
Many hypersurfaces in algebraic geometry, such as discriminants, arise as the projection of another variety. The real complement of such a hypersurface partitions its ambient space into open regions. In this paper, we propose a new method for computing these regions. Existing methods for computing regions require the explicit equation...
The purpose of this note is to provide exposition for a proof of the statement in the title. This idea, that arbitrary cohomology classes (of high enough degree) of a finite group $G$ can be trivialized in a finite group extension, has been known to experts for some time.
Many discrete-time optimal stopping problems are known to have more tractable limit forms based on a planar Poisson process. Using this tool we find a solution to the optimal stopping problem for i.i.d. sequence of $n$ discrete uniform random variables, in the asymptotic regime where $n$ and the range of distribution are of the same...
In this paper, we propose a type of Ricci flow on graphs where the probability distribution for the Lin-Lu-Yau curvature remains constant over time, and also study the related Forman curvature flow. These two curvature flows coincide on trees. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for both curvature flows in general...
Bugeaud, Mignotte, and Siksek proved that the only perfect powers in Fibonacci sequence are 0, 1, 8, and 144. In this paper, we study the polynomial analogue of the problem. Especially, we give a complete characterization of the Fibonacci polynomials that are perfect powers or powerful over finite fields, where there are infinitely...
We construct compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, such that the closed 3-pseudomanifolds obtained by coning off the boundary components are negatively curved and contain locally convex subspaces whose fundamental groups have property (T). In particular, the fundamental groups of these 3-pseudomanifolds are...
We propose a derivative-free saddle-search algorithm designed to locate transition states using only function evaluations. The algorithm employs a nested architecture consisting of an inner eigenvector search and an outer saddle-point search. Through rigorous numerical analysis, we prove the almost sure convergence of the inner step...
We introduce a notion of quasiconvexity for continuous functions $f$ defined on the vector bundle of linear maps between the tangent spaces of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, naturally generalizing the classical Euclidean definition. We prove that this condition characterizes the sequential lower...
A collision of a rubber rod to a hard floor is regarded as a simple example of obstacle problems for elastic material. In this article we have proposed a new mathematical model for the collision phenomenon by applying beam equations with singular stress functions, which is investigated in our recent works. As in the works we have...
Using the resonance method, we obtain refined estimates for joint extreme values of the Riemann zeta function at harmonic points, improving upon Levinson's 1972 results and providing new insight into the behavior of the Riemann zeta function. Our proof is primarily based on Dirichlet series theory and the truncated Euler product for...
In this paper we will consider the LAN property for both the Hurst parameter $H>3/4$ and the variance of the fractional Brownian motion plus an independent standard Brownian motion (called mixed fractional Brownian motion) with high-frequency observation. We will first remove the $H$-score linear term and orthogonalize the remainder...
In this paper we look at the $E$-completion of topological spaces where $E$ is a $p$-local ring spectrum. After a brief review of the concept of $E$-completion, we specialize to the case where $E=K$, $p$-local complex periodic $K$-theory, and consider the $K$-theory of the unstable sphere $S^{2n+1}$. We show that for certain values of...
The time-discretized, spatially continuous generalized Euler equations are a prototype example of multi-marginal optimal transport, yet the question whether they exhibit mass-splitting (or equivalently, whether they have solutions that are not of Monge form) has remained open. Here we resolve this question by giving a mass-splitting...
For $b>0$ and $n\geqslant 1$, we consider the $n\times n$ tridiagonal matrix $V_n(b)$ with diagonal entries $b+1$, superdiagonal entries $1$, and subdiagonal entries $b$. A diagonal similarity reduces $V_n(b)$ to a symmetric tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix and hence makes its spectrum explicit. Since $\det\left(V_n(b)\right)$ equals the...
We show that, under certain constraints, the Stanley-Reisner ring of an infinite simplicial complex is Cohen-Macaulay in the sense of ideals and weak Bourbaki unmixed. We apply this result to prove the wanted claim -- that initial complexes of matrix Schubert varieties corresponding to infinite permutations in $S_{\infty}$ with...
