Random embedding of $${\ell_p^n}$$ into $${\ell_r^N}$$

For any 0 < p < 2 and any natural numbers N > n, we give an explicit definition of a random operator \({S : \ell_p^n \to \mathbb{R}^N}\) such that for every 0 < r < p < 2 with r ≤ 1, the operator \({S_r = S : \ell_p^n \to \ell_r^N}\) satisfies with overwhelming probability that \({\|S_r\| \, \|(S_r)_{| {\rm Im}\, S}^{-1}\| \le C(p,r)^{n/(N-n)}}\), where C(p, r) > 0 is a real number depending only on p and r. One of the main tools that we develop is a new type of multidimensional Esseen inequality for studying small ball probabilities.     

Approximation of $$\bar \omega $$ -integrals of continuous functions defined on the real axis by Fourier operators

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the deviations of Fourier operators on the classes of continuous functions and in the uniform metric. We also establish asymptotic laws of decrease of functionals characterizing the problem of the simultaneous approximation of -integrals of continuous functions by Fourier operators in the uniform metric.Translated from Ukrainskyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 56, No. 5, pp. 663–676, May, 2004.     

Uniformly continuous maps between ends of $${\mathbb{R}}$$-trees

There is a well-known correspondence between infinite trees and ultrametric spaces which can be interpreted as an equivalence of categories and comes from considering the end space of the tree. In this equivalence, uniformly continuous maps between the end spaces are translated to some classes of coarse maps (or even classes of metrically proper Lipschitz maps) between the trees.     

Variable selection and estimation using a continuous approximation to the $$L_0$$ penalty

Variable selection problems are typically addressed under the regularization framework. In this paper, an exponential type penalty which very closely resembles the \(L_0\) penalty is proposed, we called it EXP penalty. The EXP penalized least squares procedure is shown to consistently select the correct model and is asymptotically normal, provided the number of variables grows slower than the number of observations. EXP is efficiently implemented using a coordinate descent algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a modified BIC tuning parameter selection method for EXP and show that it consistently identifies the correct model, while allowing the number of variables to diverge. Simulation results and data example show that the EXP procedure performs very well in a variety of settings.     

On $$\ell $$-regular bipartitions modulo $$\ell $$

Let \(B_\ell (n)\) denote the number of \(\ell \)-regular bipartitions of n. In this paper, we prove several infinite families of congruences satisfied by \(B_\ell (n)\) for \(\ell \in {\{5,7,13\}}\). For example, we show that for all \(\alpha >0\) and \(n\ge 0\),

$$\begin{aligned} B_5\left( 4^\alpha n+\frac{5\times 4^\alpha -2}{6}\right)\equiv & {} 0 \ (\text {mod}\ 5),\\ B_7\left( 5^{8\alpha }n+\displaystyle \frac{5^{8\alpha }-1}{2}\right)\equiv & {} 3^\alpha B_7(n)\ (\text {mod}\ 7) \end{aligned}$$

and

$$\begin{aligned} B_{13}\left( 5^{12\alpha }n+5^{12\alpha }-1\right) \equiv B_{13}(n)\ (\text {mod}\ 13). \end{aligned}$$

Locally Tabular $$\ne $$ Locally Finite

We show that for an arbitrary logic being locally tabular is a strictly weaker property than being locally finite. We describe our hunt for a logic that allows us to separate the two properties, revealing weaker and weaker conditions under which they must coincide, and showing how they are intertwined. We single out several classes of logics where the two notions coincide, including logics that are determined by a finite set of finite matrices, selfextensional logics, algebraizable and equivalential logics. Furthermore, we identify a closure property on models of a logic that, in the presence of local tabularity, is equivalent to local finiteness.     

Actions of the groups $${\mathbb C}$$ and $${\mathbb C^*}$$ on Stein varieties

In this paper we present recent results concerning global aspects of and -actions on Stein surfaces. Our approach is based on a byproduct of techniques from Geometric Theory of Foliations (holonomy, stability), Potential theory (parabolic Riemann surfaces, Riemann-Koebe Uniformization theorem) and Several Complex Variables (Hartogs’ extension theorems, Theory of Stein spaces). Our main motivation comes from the original works of M. Suzuki and Orlik-Wagreich. Some of their results are extended to a more general framework. In particular, we prove some linearization theorems for holomorphic actions of and on normal Stein analytic spaces of dimension two. We also add a list of questions and open problems in the subject. The underlying idea is to present the state of the art of this research field.      

$$\pi $$π-Formulas and Gray code

In previous papers we introduced a class of polynomials which follow the same recursive formula as the Lucas–Lehmer numbers, studying the distribution of their zeros and remarking that this distribution follows a sequence related to the binary Gray code. It allowed us to give an order for all the zeros of every polynomial \(L_n\). In this paper, the zeros, expressed in terms of nested radicals, are used to obtain two formulas for \(\pi \): the first can be seen as a generalization of the known formula

$$\begin{aligned} \pi =\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty } 2^{n+1}\cdot \sqrt{2-\underbrace{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\cdots +\sqrt{2}}}}}_{n}}, \end{aligned}$$

related to the smallest positive zero of \(L_n\); the second is an exact formula for \(\pi \) achieved thanks to some identities valid for \(L_n\).

Volume preserving subgroups of $${{\mathcal A}}$$ and $${{\mathcal K}}$$ and singularities in unimodular geometry

For a germ of a smooth map f from \mathbb Kⁿ{{\mathbb K}^n} to \mathbb K^p{{\mathbb K}^p} and a subgroup G_Wq{{{G}_{\Omega _q}}} of any of the Mather groups G for which the source or target diffeomorphisms preserve some given volume form Ω _q in \mathbb K^q{{\mathbb K}^q} (q = n or p) we study the G_Wq{{{G}_{\Omega _q}}} -moduli space of f that parameterizes the G_Wq{{{G}_{\Omega _q}}} -orbits inside the G-orbit of f. We find, for example, that this moduli space vanishes for G_Wq = A_Wp{{{G}_{\Omega _q}} ={{\mathcal A}_{\Omega _p}}} and A{{\mathcal A}}-stable maps f and for G_Wq = K_Wn{{{G}_{\Omega _q}} ={{\mathcal K}_{\Omega _n}}} and K{{\mathcal K}}-simple maps f. On the other hand, there are A{{\mathcal A}}-stable maps f with infinite-dimensional A_Wn{{{\mathcal A}_{\Omega _n}}} -moduli space.

A strong partition cardinal above $$\varTheta $$

Assuming \(\text {ZF}+\text {DC}\), we prove that if there exists a strong partition cardinal greater than \(\varTheta \), then (1) there is an inner model of \(\text {ZF}+\text {AD}+\text {DC}+ {{{\mathbb {R}}} }^{{\#}}\) exists, and (2) there is an inner model of \(\text {ZF}+\text {AD}+\text {DC}+ (\exists \kappa >\varTheta )\,(\kappa \) is measurable). Here \(\varTheta \) is the supremum of the ordinals which are the surjective image of the set of reals \({{{\mathbb {R}}} }\).     

Homomorphisms from $$C(X,\mathbb {Z})$$ into a ring of continuous functions

Let X be a zero-dimensional space and Y be a Tychonoff space. We show that every non-zero ring homomorphism \(\Phi :C(X,\mathbb {Z})\rightarrow C(Y)\) can be induced by a continuous function \(\pi :Y\rightarrow \upsilon _0X.\) Using this, it turns out that the kernel of such homomorphisms is equal to the intersection of some family of minimal prime ideals in \({{\mathrm{MinMax}}}\left( C(X,\mathbb {Z})\right) .\) As a consequence, we are able to obtain the fact that the factor ring \(\frac{C(X,\mathbb {Z})}{C_F(X,\mathbb {Z})}\) is a subring of some ring of continuous functions if and only if each infinite subset of isolated points of X has a limit point in \(\upsilon _0X.\) This implies that for an arbitrary infinite set X,  the factor ring \(\frac{\prod _{_{x\in X}}\mathbb {Z}_{_{x}}}{\oplus _{_{x\in X}}\mathbb {Z}_{_{x}}}\) is not embedded in any ring of continuous functions. The classical ring of quotients of the factor ring \(\frac{C(X,\mathbb {Z})}{C_F(X,\mathbb {Z})}\) is fully characterized. Finally, it is shown that the factor ring \(\frac{C(X,\mathbb {Z})}{C_F(X,\mathbb {Z})}\) is an I-ring if and only if each infinite subset of isolated points on X has a limit point in \(\upsilon _0X\) and \(\upsilon _0X{\setminus }\mathbb {I}(X)\) is an extremally disconnected \(C_{\mathbb {Z}}\)-subspace of \(\upsilon _0X,\) where \(\mathbb {I}(X)\) is the set of all isolated points of X.     

$${\cal K}$$-Convexity1 in $$\Re^{n}$$

We generalize the concept of K-convexity to an n-dimensional Euclidean space. The resulting concept of -convexity is useful in addressing production and inventory problems where there are individual product setup costs and/or joint setup costs. We derive some basic properties of -convex functions. We conclude the paper with some suggestions for future research. Support from Columbia University and University of Texas at Dallas is gratefully acknowledged. Helpful comments from Qi Feng are appreciated.

Yangians and $$\mathcal{W} $$ -Algebras

We present a connection between -algebras and Yangians in the case of gl(N) algebras, as well as for twisted Yangians and super-Yangians. We illustrate this connection, which allows constructing an R-matrix for the -algebras and classifying their finite-dimensional irreducible representations, in the framework of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 1+1 dimensions.
