For the evolutionary Stokes problem with dynamic boundary condition we show maximal regularity of weak solutions in time. Due to the characteriation of R-sectorial operators on Hilbert spaces, the proof reduces to finding the correct functional analytic setting and proving that an operator is sectorial, i.e. generates an analytic semigroup.

The space of unitary C_{0}-semigroups on separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space, when viewed under the topology of uniform weak convergence on compact subsets of R_{+}, is known to admit various interesting residual subspaces. Before treating the contractive case, the problem of the complete metrisability of this space was raised in [Eisner, 2010]. Utilising Borel complexity computations and automatic continuity results for semigroups, we obtain a general result, which in particular implies that the one-/multiparameter contractive C_{0}-semigroups constitute Polish spaces and thus positively addresses the open problem.

The notion of abundance of certain type of configuration in certain large sets was first proved by Furstenberg and Glazner in 1998. After that many author investigate abundance of different types of configurations in different types of large sets. Hindman, Hosseini, Strauss and Tootkaboni recently introduced another notion of large sets called CR sets. Then Debnath and De proved abundance of arithmetic progression in CR sets for commutative semigroups. In the present article we investigate abundance of progressions in for non-commutative semigroups.

Commuting families of contractions or contractive C_{0}-semigroups on Hilbert spaces often fail to admit power dilations resp, simultaneous unitary dilations which are themselves commutative (see [45, 13, 15]). In the non-commutative setting, Sz.-Nagy [60] and Bożejko [5] provided means to dilate arbitrary families of contractions. The present work extends these discrete-time results to families {T_{i}}_{i in I} of contractive C_{0}-semigroups. We refer to these dilations as continuous-time free unitary dilations and present three distinct approaches to obtain them: 1) An explicit derivation applicable to semigroups that arise as interpolations; 2) A full proof with an explicit construction, via the theory of co-generators à la Słociński [54, 55]; and 3) A second full proof based on the abstract structure of semigroups, which admits a natural reformulation to semigroups defined over topological free products of R_{geq 0} and leads to various residuality results. In 2) a IInd free dilation theorem for topologised index sets is developed via a reformulation of the Trotter--Kato theorem for co-generators. As an application of this we demonstrate how evolution families can be reduced to continuously monitored processes subject to temporal change, à la the quantum Zeno effect [22, 23, 24, 30, 37].

The problem of embedding an ample semigroup in an inverse semigroup as a (2, 1, 1)-type subalgebra is known to be undecidable. In this article, we investigate the problem for certain classes of ample semigroups. We also give examples of semigroups that are left (respectively, right) but not right (respectively, left) ample.

We consider characterisations of unitary dilations and approximations of irreversible classical dynamical systems on a Hilbert space. In the commutative case, building on the work in [9], one can express well known approximants (e.g. Hille- and Yosida-approximants) via expectations over certain stochastic processes. Using this, our first result characterises the simultaneous regular unitary dilatability of commuting families of C_{0}-semigroups via the dilatability of such approximants as well as via regular polynomial bounds. This extends the results in [13] to the unbounded setting. We secondly consider characterisations of unitary and regular unitary dilations via two distinct functional calculi. Applying these tools to a large class of classical dynamical systems, these two notions of dilation exactly characterise when a system admits unitary approximations under certain distinct notions of weak convergence. This establishes a sharp topological distinction between the two notions of unitary dilations. Our results are applicable to commutative systems as well as non-commutative systems satisfying the canonical commutation relations (CCR) in the Weyl form.

Let Msubset B(H) be a semifinite von Neumann algebra, where B(H) denotes the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H, and let τ be a fixed faithful normal semifinite trace on M.Let E_τ be the fully symmetric space associated with a fully symmetric Banach function space E on [0,infty).Using a complex interpolation argument based on the three-lines theorem on a strip, we show that for positive operators a,bin E_τ and tin[0,1], $ |a^t b^{1-t}+b^t a^{1-t}|_{E_τ}le 2^{max{2|t-1/2|-1/2,;0}};|a+b|_{E_τ}. In particular, we obtain the sharp constant 1 for t\in[1/4,3/4]: |a^t b^{1-t}+b^t a^{1-t}|_{E_τ}le |a+b|_{E_τ}. $ This extends the work of Kittaneh--Ricard in Linear Algebra Appl. 710 (2025), 356--362 and covers the results of Liu--He--Zhao in Acta Math. Sci. Ser. B (Engl. Ed.) 46 (2026), 62--68

Working over infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, residual results have been achieved for the space of contractive C_{0}-semigroups under the topology of uniform weak operator convergence on compact subsets of R_{+}. Eisner and Serény raised in 2009 the open problem: Does this space constitute a Baire space? Observing that the subspace of unitary semigroups is completely metrisable and appealing to known density results, we solve this problem positively by showing that certain topological properties can in general be transferred from dense subspaces to larger spaces. The transfer result in turn relies upon classification of topological properties via infinite games. Our approach is sufficiently general and can be applied to other contexts, e.g. the space of contractions under the pw-topology.

We generalise a technique of Bhat and Skeide (2015) to interpolate commuting families {S_{i}}_{i in I} of contractions on a Hilbert space H, to commuting families {T_{i}}_{i in I} of contractive C_{0}-semigroups on L^{2}(prod_{i in I}T) otimes H. As an excursus, we provide applications of the interpolations to time-discretisation and the embedding problem. Applied to Parrott's construction (1970), we then demonstrate for d in N with d geq 3 the existence of commuting families {T_{i}}_{i=1}^{d} of contractive C_{0}-semigroups which admit no simultaneous unitary dilation. As an application of these counter-examples, we obtain the residuality wrt. the topology of uniform wot-convergence on compact subsets of R_{geq 0}^{d} of non-unitarily dilatable and non-unitarily approximable d-parameter contractive C_{0}-semigroups on separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces for each d geq 3. Similar results are also developed for d-tuples of commuting contractions. And by building on the counter-examples of Varopoulos--Kaijser (1973--74), a 0--1-result is obtained for the von Neumann inequality. Finally, we discuss applications to rigidity as well as the embedding problem, viz. that `typical' pairs of commuting operators can be simultaneously embedded into commuting pairs of C_{0}-semigroups, which extends results of Eisner (2009--10).

Let V be a highest weight module over a Kac-Moody algebra g, and let conv V denote the convex hull of its weights. We determine the combinatorial isomorphism type of conv V, i.e. we completely classify the faces and their inclusions. In the special case where g is semisimple, this brings closure to a question studied by Cellini-Marietti [IMRN 2015] for the adjoint representation, and by Khare [J. Algebra 2016; Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 2017] for most modules. The determination of faces of finite-dimensional modules up to the Weyl group action and some of their inclusions also appears in previous work of Satake [Ann. of Math. 1960], Borel-Tits [IHES Publ. Math. 1965], Vinberg [Izv. Akad. Nauk 1990], and Casselman [Austral. Math. Soc. 1997]. For any subset of the simple roots, we introduce a remarkable convex cone which we call the universal Weyl polyhedron, which controls the convex hulls of all modules parabolically induced from the corresponding Levi factor. Namely, the combinatorial isomorphism type of the cone stores the classification of faces for all such highest weight modules, as well as how faces degenerate as the highest weight gets increasingly singular. To our knowledge, this cone is new in finite and infinite type. We further answer a question of Michel Brion, by showing that the localization of conv V along a face is always the convex hull of the weights of a parabolically induced module. Finally, as we determine the inclusion relations between faces representation-theoretically from the set of weights, without recourse to convexity, we answer a similar question for highest weight modules over symmetrizable quantum groups.

This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part deals with cylindric plane partitions. The second with lambda-determinants and the third with commutators in semi-circular systems. For more detailed abstract please see inside. Cylindric plane partitions may be thought of as a natural generalization of reverse plane partitions. A generating series for the enumeration of cylindric plane partitions was recently given by Borodin. The first result of section one is a new bijective proof of Borodin's identity which makes use of Fomin's growth diagram framework for generalized RSK correspondences. The second result is a (q,t)-analog of Borodin's identity which extends previous work by Okada in the reverse plane partition case. The third result is an explicit combinatorial interpretation of the Macdonald weight occurring in the (q,t)-analog using the non-intersecting lattice path model for cylindric plane partitions. Alternating sign matrices were discovered by Robbins and Rumsey whilst studying λ-determinants. In the second part of this thesis we prove a multi-parameter generalization of the λ-determinant, generalizing a recent result by di Francesco. Like the original λ-determinant, our formula exhibits the Laurent phenomenon. Semicircular systems were first introduced by Voiculescu as a part of his study of von Neumann algebras. In the third part of this thesis we study certain commutator subalgebras of the semicircular system. We find a projection matrix with an interesting self-similar structure. Making use of our projection formula we given an alternative, elementary proof that the semicircular system is a factor.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Euler equations with initial conditions that exhibit analytic regularity near the boundary and Sobolev regularity away from it. A key contribution of this work is the introduction of the diamond-analyticity framework, which captures the spatial decay of the analyticity radius in a structured manner, improving upon uniform analyticity approaches. We employ the Leray projection and a nonstandard mollification technique to demonstrate that the quotient between the imaginary and real parts of the analyticity radius remains unrestricted, thus extending the analyticity persistence results beyond traditional constraints. Our methodology combines analytic-Sobolev estimates with an iterative scheme which is nonstandard in the Cauchy-Kowalevskaya framework, ensuring rigorous control over the evolution of the solution. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between analyticity and boundary effects in fluid equations. They might have implications for the study of the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations and the role of complex singularities in fluid dynamics.

We introduce a new functional space U designed to contain all classical arithmetic functions (Mobius, von Mangoldt, Euler phi, divisor functions, Dirichlet characters, etc.). The norm of U combines a Hilbert-type component, based on square summability of Dirichlet coefficients for every s > 1, with a Banach component controlling logarithmic averages of partial sums. We prove that U is a complete Banach space which embeds continuously all standard Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series and allows natural actions of Dirichlet convolution and shift operators. This framework provides a unified analytic setting for classical and modern problems in multiplicative number theory.

In this article, we continue the development of the Riemann-Hilbert formalism for studying the asymptotics of Toeplitz+Hankel determinants with non-identical symbols, which we initiated in GI. In GI, we showed that the Riemann-Hilbert problem we formulated admits the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent analysis, but with a special restriction on the winding numbers of the associated symbols. In particular, the most natural case, namely zero winding numbers, is not allowed. A principal goal of this paper is to develop a framework that extends the asymptotic analysis of Toeplitz+Hankel determinants to a broader range of winding-number configurations. As an application, we consider the case in which the winding numbers of the Szego-type Toeplitz and Hankel symbols are zero and one, respectively, and compute the asymptotics of the norms of the corresponding system of orthogonal polynomials.

Let T(L^{infty}(T)) be the Toeplitz algebra, that is, the C^*-algebra generated by the set {T_φ : φin L^{infty}(T)}. Douglas's theorem on symbol map states that there exists a C^*-algebra homomorphism from T(L^{infty}(T)) onto L^{infty}(T) such that T_φmapsto φ and the kernel of the homomorphism coincides with commutator ideal in T(L^{infty}(T)). In this paper, we use the Berezin transform to study results akin to Douglas's theorem for operators on the Hardy space H^2(D^n) over the open unit polydisc D^n for ngeq 1. We further obtain a class of bigger C^*-algebras than the Toeplitz algebra T(L^{infty}(T^n)) for which the analog of symbol map still holds true.

We investigate the first-order differential calculus over extended metric-topological measure spaces. The latter are quartets mathbb X=(X,τ,{sf d},mathfrak m), given by an extended metric space (X,{sf d}) together with a weaker topology τ (satisfying suitable compatibility conditions) and a finite Radon measure mathfrak m on (X,τ). The class of extended metric-topological measure spaces encompasses all metric measure spaces and many infinite-dimensional metric-measure structures, such as abstract Wiener spaces. In this framework, we study the following classes of objects: - The Banach algebra {rm Lip}_b(X,τ,{sf d}) of bounded τ-continuous {sf d}-Lipschitz functions on X. - Several notions of Lipschitz derivations on X, defined in duality with {rm Lip}_b(X,τ,{sf d}). - The metric Sobolev space W^{1,p}(mathbb X), defined in duality with Lipschitz derivations on X. Inter alia, we generalise both Weaver's and Di Marino's theories of Lipschitz derivations to the extended setting, and we discuss their connections. We also introduce a Sobolev space W^{1,p}(mathbb X) via an integration-by-parts formula, along the lines of Di Marino's notion of Sobolev space, and we prove its equivalence with other approaches, studied in the extended setting by Ambrosio, Erbar and Savaré. En route, we obtain some results of independent interest, among which are: - A Lipschitz-constant-preserving extension result for τ-continuous {sf d}-Lipschitz functions. - A novel and rather robust strategy for proving the equivalence of Sobolev-type spaces defined via an integration-by-parts formula and those obtained with a relaxation procedure. - A new description of an isometric predual of the metric Sobolev space W^{1,p}(mathbb X).

Let K be a complete non-archimedean field of characteristic 0 equipped with a discrete valuation. We establish the rationality of the Artin-Mazur zeta function on the Julia set for any subhyperbolic rational map defined over K with a compact Julia set. Furthermore, we conclude that the topological entropy on the Julia set of such a map is given by the logarithm of a weak Perron number. Conversely, we construct a (sub)hyperbolic rational map defined over K with compact Julia set whose topological entropy on the Julia set equals the logarithm of a given weak Perron number. This extends Thurston's work on the entropy for postcritically finite interval self-maps %of the unit interval to the non-archimedean setting.

Convolution is a broadly useful operation with applications including signal processing, machine learning, probability, optics, polynomial multiplication, and efficient parsing. Usually, however, this operation is understood and implemented in more specialized forms, hiding commonalities and limiting usefulness. This paper formulates convolution in the common algebraic framework of semirings and semimodules and populates that framework with various representation types. One of those types is the grand abstract template and itself generalizes to the free semimodule monad. Other representations serve varied uses and performance trade-offs, with implementations calculated from simple and regular specifications. Of particular interest is Brzozowski's method for regular expression matching. Uncovering the method's essence frees it from syntactic manipulations, while generalizing from boolean to weighted membership (such as multisets and probability distributions) and from sets to n-ary relations. The classic trie data structure then provides an elegant and efficient alternative to syntax. Pleasantly, polynomial arithmetic requires no additional implementation effort, works correctly with a variety of representations, and handles multivariate polynomials and power series with ease. Image convolution also falls out as a special case.

To generalise evolution families we consider systems of contractions {varphi(u, v)}_{(u, v) in E} defined on the edges of a graph G = (Ω, E). In this setup the Markov property, or divisibility, can be modelled via varphi(u, v)varphi(v, w) = varphi(u, w) for edges (u, v), (v, w), (u, w) in E. We obtain results in three settings: 1) contractive Banach space operators; 2) positive unital maps on C^{ast}-algebras; and 3) CPTP-maps on trace class operators on a Hilbert space. In the discrete setting, we are able to dilate possibly indivisible families of contractions to divisible families of operators with 'nice' properties (viz. surjective isometries resp. C^{ast}-algebraic automorphisms resp. unitary representations). In the special case of linearly ordered graphs equipped with the order topology, we establish sufficient conditions for strongly continuous dilations of possibly indivisible families in the Banach space and C^{ast}-algebra contexts. To achieve these results we work with string-rewriting systems, and make use of and extend dilation theorems of Stroescu [44], Kraus [23, 24], and vom Ende--Dirr [50].

We introduce iterated beta integrals, a new class of iterated integrals on the universal abelian covering of the punctured projective line that unifies hyperlogarithms and classical beta integrals while preserving their fundamental properties. We establish various analytic properties of these integrals with respect to both the exponent parameters and the main variables. Their key feature is invariance under simultaneous translation of the exponent parameters, which generates relations between integrals over possibly different coverings. This mechanism recovers notable identities for multiple zeta values and variants -- including Zagier's 2-3-2 formula, Murakami's t-value analogue, Charlton's t-value analogue, Zhao's 2-1 formula, and Ohno's relation -- and also yields new relations, such as a proof of a Galois descent phenomenon for multiple omega values.

We define and study a probability monad on the category of complete metric spaces and short maps. It assigns to each space the space of Radon probability measures on it with finite first moment, equipped with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance. This monad is analogous to the Giry monad on the category of Polish spaces, and it extends a construction due to van Breugel for compact and for 1-bounded complete metric spaces. We prove that this Kantorovich monad arises from a colimit construction on finite power-like constructions, which formalizes the intuition that probability measures are limits of finite samples. The proof relies on a criterion for when an ordinary left Kan extension of lax monoidal functors is a monoidal Kan extension. The colimit characterization allows the development of integration theory and the treatment of measures on spaces of measures, without measure theory. We also show that the category of algebras of the Kantorovich monad is equivalent to the category of closed convex subsets of Banach spaces with short affine maps as morphisms.

Recently the author presented a new approach to solving the coefficient problems for various classes of holomorphic functions f(z) = sumlimits_0^infty c_n z^n, not necessarily univalent. This approach is based on lifting the given polynomial coefficient functionals J(f) = J(c_{m_1}, dots, c_{m_s}), 2 < c_{m_1} < dots < c_{m_s} < infty, onto the Bers fiber space over universal Teichmuller space and applying the analytic and geometric features of Teichm\"{u}ller spaces, especially the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces. In this paper, we extend this approach to more general classes of functions. In particular, this provides a strengthening of de Branges' theorem solving the Bieberbach conjecture.

Given a semisimple complex linear algebraic group G and a lower ideal I in positive roots of G, three objects arise: the ideal arrangement A_I, the regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety Hess(N,I), and the regular semisimple Hessenberg variety Hess(S,I). We show that a certain graded ring derived from the logarithmic derivation module of A_I is isomorphic to H^*(Hess(N,I)) and H^*(Hess(S,I))^W, the invariants in H^*(Hess(S,I)) under an action of the Weyl group W of G. This isomorphism is shown for general Lie type, and generalizes Borel's celebrated theorem showing that the coinvariant algebra of W is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of the flag variety G/B. This surprising connection between Hessenberg varieties and hyperplane arrangements enables us to produce a number of interesting consequences. For instance, the surjectivity of the restriction map H^*(G/B)to H^*(Hess(N,I)) announced by Dale Peterson and an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Sommers-Tymoczko are immediate consequences. We also give an explicit ring presentation of H^*(Hess(N,I)) in types B, C, and G. Such a presentation was already known in type A or when Hess(N,I) is the Peterson variety. Moreover, we find the volume polynomial of Hess(N,I) and see that the hard Lefschetz property and the Hodge-Riemann relations hold for Hess(N,I), despite the fact that it is a singular variety in general.

We introduce the finite-horizon first-order rank profile of a language L subseteq Σ^*: the least quantifier rank needed by an FO[<] sentence to classify membership in L correctly on all words of length at most n. The invariant measures quantifier depth only; formula size is deliberately not bounded. First, we prove a rank calculus that is independent of regularity. Every language satisfies ρ_L(n) le lceil log_2 n rceil + 4, via balanced first-order distance formulas and exact-word definitions. Moreover, sup_n ρ_L(n) < infty holds exactly when L is globally FO[<]-definable, and the supremum equals the minimum quantifier rank of such a definition. Second, for regular languages we prove a sharp aperiodicity gap: if the syntactic monoid of L is aperiodic, then ρ_L(n) = O(1); otherwise ρ_L(n) = log_2 n + O_L(1). The lower bound extracts a nontrivial cyclic component from the syntactic monoid and combines it with an Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse power lemma for long repetitions of a fixed word. Thus, for full FO[<] quantifier rank, regular languages admit no intermediate finite-horizon growth between bounded and logarithmic rank.

We prove that under the heat semigroup (P_τ) on the Boolean hypercube, any nonnegative function f: {-1,1}^n to R_+ exhibits a uniform tail bound that is better than that by Markov's inequality. Specifically, for any η> e^3 and τ> 0, align* P_{X \sim μ}\left( P_τf(X) > η\int f dμ\right) \leq c_τ \log \log η{η\log η}, align* where μ is the uniform measure on the Boolean hypercube {-1,1}^n and c_τ is a constant that only depends on τ. This resolves Talagrand's convolution conjecture up to a dimension-free loglog η factor. Its proof relies on properties of the reverse heat process on the Boolean hypercube and a coupling construction based on carefully engineered perturbations of this reverse heat process.

The analysis of the spectral features of a Toeplitz matrix-sequence left{T_{n}(f)right}_{ninmathbb N}, generated by a symbol fin L^1([-π,π]), real-valued almost everywhere (a.e.), has been provided in great detail in the last century, as well as the study of the conditioning, when f is nonnegative a.e. Here we consider a novel type of problem arising in the numerical approximation of distributed-order fractional differential equations (FDEs), where the matrices under consideration take the form \[ T_{n}=c_0T_{n}(f_0)+c_{1} h^h T_{n}(f_{1})+c_{2} h^{2h} T_{n}(f_{2})+\cdots+c_{n-1} h^{(n-1)h}T_{n}(f_{n-1}), \] c_0,c_{1},ldots, c_{n-1} in [c_*,c^*], c^*ge c_*>0, independent of n, h=1{n}, f_jsim g_j, g_j=|θ|^{2-jh}, j=0,ldots,n-1. Since the resulting generating function depends on n, the standard theory cannot be applied and the analysis has to be performed using new ideas. Few selected numerical experiments are presented, also in connection with matrices that come from distributed-order FDE problems, and the adherence with the theoretical analysis is discussed together with open questions and future investigations.

In recent years, there has been a development in approaching rationality problems through the motivic methods (cf. [Kontsevich--Tschinkel'19], [Nicaise--Shinder'19], [Nicaise--Ottem'21]). This method requires the explicit construction of degeneration families of curves with favorable properties. While the specific construction is generally difficult, [Nicaise--Ottem'22] combines combinatorial methods to construct degeneration families of hypersurfaces in toric varieties and shows the non-stable rationality of a very general hypersurface in projective spaces. In this paper, we extend the result of [Nicaise--Ottem'22] not only for hypersurfaces in algebraic tori but also to those in sch\"{o}n affine varieties. In application, we show the irrationality of certain hypersurfaces in the complex Grassmannian variety Gr(2, n) using the motivic method, which coincides with the result obtained by the same author in the previous research.

We study holomorphic foliations on normal crossings varieties arising as semistable degenerations. We do so by we exploring the notion of foliated d-semistability using the language of logarithmic structures in the sense of Fontaine-Illusie. First, we identify both local and global obstructions to d-semistability. In order to analyze the existence of smoothings, we develop a logarithmic deformation theory of foliations and show that the corresponding moduli functor admits a versal hull.

We consider three monads on Top, the category of topological spaces, which formalize topological aspects of probability and possibility in categorical terms. The first one is the Hoare hyperspace monad H, which assigns to every space its space of closed subsets equipped with the lower Vietoris topology. The second is the monad V of continuous valuations, also known as the extended probabilistic powerdomain. We construct both monads in a unified way in terms of double dualization. This reveals a close analogy between them, and allows us to prove that the operation of taking the support of a continuous valuation is a morphism of monads from V to H. In particular, this implies that every H-algebra (topological complete semilattice) is also a V-algebra. Third, we show that V can be restricted to a submonad of tau-smooth probability measures on Top. By composing these two morphisms of monads, we obtain that taking the support of a tau-smooth probability measure is also a morphism of monads.

This paper aims to study Ext-groups between certain functors defined on the category of finitely generated free groups. Rational Ext-groups between the abelianization functor and its symmetric powers are known, and are almost always equal to zero. Recently, using homotopical methods, Arone constructed an explicit bounded complex whose homology corresponds to the integral Ext-groups between the abelianization functor and its symmetric powers. The homology of this complex is far from being trivial. Using this complex, we explicitly calculate some of these Ext-groups. More precisely, we compute Ext^1, Ext^2, Ext^{d-1} and Ext^{d-2} between the abelianization functor and its dth symmetric power. We further explain how Arone's complex can be obtained from an explicit projective resolution of the abelianization functor. We compare our results with the computation of Ext-groups between functors from finitely generated free abelian groups, obtained by Franjou and Pirashvili. In particular, we obtain that the composition with the abelianization functor induces an isomorphism for the Ext^1 considered in this paper.

We prove a conjecture of Griffiths on the quasi-projectivity of images of period maps using algebraization results arising from o-minimal geometry. Specifically, we first develop a theory of analytic spaces and coherent sheaves that are definable with respect to a given o-minimal structure, and prove a GAGA-type theorem algebraizing definable coherent sheaves on complex algebraic spaces. We then combine this with algebraization theorems of Artin to show that proper definable images of complex algebraic spaces are algebraic. Applying this to period maps, we conclude that the images of period maps are quasi-projective and that the restriction of the Griffiths bundle is ample.

We construct S-linear semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of smooth Fano threefold fibrations X/S with relative Picard rank 1 and rational geometric fibers and discuss how the structure of components of these decompositions is related to rationality properties of X/S.

The composition gamma circ eta of Jordan curves gamma and eta in universal Teichm\"uller space is defined through the composition h_gamma circ h_eta of their conformal weldings. We show that whenever gamma and eta are curves of finite Loewner energy I^L, the energy of the composition satisfies $I^L(gamma circ eta) lesssim_K I^L(gamma) + I^L(eta), with an explicit constant in terms of the quasiconformal K of \gamma and \eta. We also study the asymptotic growth rate of the Loewner energy under n self-compositions \gamma^n := \gamma \circ \cdots \circ \gamma, showing limsup_{n rightarrow infty} 1{n}log I^L(gamma^n) lesssim_K 1, again with explicit constant. Our approach is to define a new conformally-covariant rooted welding functional W_h(y), and show W_h(y) \asymp_K I^L(\gamma) when h is a welding of \gamma and y is any root (a point in the domain of h). In the course of our arguments we also give several new expressions for the Loewner energy, including generalized formulas in terms of the Riemann maps f and g for \gamma which hold irrespective of the placement of \gamma on the Riemann sphere, the normalization of f and g, and what disks D, D^c \subset \mathbb{C} serve as domains. An additional corollary is that I^L(\gamma) is bounded above by a constant only depending on the Weil--Petersson distance from \gamma$ to the circle.

We introduce a new predator-prey model by replacing the growth and predation constant by a square matrix, and the population density as a population vector. The classical Lotka-Volterra model describes a population that either modulates or converges. Stability analysis of such models have been extensively studied by the works of Merdan (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2007.06.062). The new model adds complexity by introducing an age group structure where the population of each age group evolves as prescribed by the Leslie matrix. The added complexity changes the behavior of the model such that the population either displays roughly an exponential growth or decay. We first provide an exact equation that describes a time evolution and use analytic techniques to obtain an approximate growth factor. We also discuss the variants of the Leslie model, i.e., the complex value predator-prey model and the competitive model. We then prove the Last Species Standing theorem that determines the dominant population in the large time limit. The recursive structure of the model denies the application of simple regression. We discuss a machine learning scheme that allows an admissible fit for the population evolution of Paramecium Aurelia and Paramecium Caudatum. Another potential avenue to simplify the computation is to use the machinery of quantum operators. We demonstrate the potential of this approach by computing the Hamiltonian of a simple Leslie system.

Let X be an algebraic variety over C and G be an algebraic group acting on X whose action is closed. J. Poineau defined a compactification X^urcorner of X(C) by using hybrid Berkovich spaces. We will focus on the extension of the action of G on this compactification by characterising the set U subset X^urcorner where the action is well defined. We will also show that the quotient of U by the action of G is homeomorphic to (X/G)^urcorner, the compactification of (X/G)(C). We then apply these results to X = Rat_d, the space of rational maps and G = SL_2. It gives the results of C. Favre-C. Gong in a more general setting. Furthermore, we get a compactification of M_d = Rat_d/SL_2 where the boundary is made of orbits of non-archimedean rational maps. The results still holds if C is replaced by k a non-trivially valued field and complex analytic spaces by Berkovich spaces over k.

We prove the precise inversion of adjunction formula for finite linear group quotients of complete intersection varieties defined by semi-invariant equations. As an application, we prove the semi-continuity of minimal log discrepancies for them. These results extend the results in our first paper, where we prove the same results for complete intersection varieties defined by ``invariant equations".

We give a complete characterization of the holonomies of strictly convex cusps and of round cusps in convex projective geometry. We build families of generalized cusps of non-maximal rank associated to each strictly convex or round cusp. We also extend Ballas-Cooper-Leitner's definition of generalized cusp to allow for virtually solvable fundamental group, and we produce the first such example with non-virtually nilpotent fundamental group. Along with a companion paper, this allows to build strictly convex cusps and generalized cusps whose fundamental group is any finitely generated virtually nilpotent group. This also has interesting consequences for the theory of relatively Anosov representations.

This paper presents the first numerical realization of Suzuki's Weil-Quadratic-Form operator, a candidate for the Hilbert--Pólya program linking spectral positivity to the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). Suzuki's 2026 construction was purely theoretical; here, the operator is instantiated via P1 finite-element discretization and Richardson extrapolation. Key results include: (R1) In the prime-free regime, the spectrum follows a closed Archimedean law A_k(a) = log(1/a) + log(k-2) + B_0 + O(a), with B_0 = log q - 2log 2, confirmed to 30-digit precision. (R2) A Mellin double-pole argument proves the head coefficient B(ν) and shows B_0 depends only on the conductor q, independent of the Archimedean parameter. (R2b) The degree d of an L-function appears directly as the logarithmic slope of the spectrum. (R3) Total spectral intensity follows the prime number theorem, S(a) sim (2a)^3/6. (R4) Nontrivial zeros are not eigenvalues but occur in the explicit-formula error term of the prime symbol. (R5) The best-match line σ^*(a) descends toward the critical line. (R6) Weil's positivity criterion is realized in operator form: bounded residual growth corresponds to all zeros on the line, while an injected off-line zero causes exponential blow-up. (R7) The lowest eigenvalue λ_1(a) is strictly positive, decays superexponentially, and passes smoothly through the first prime threshold. (R8) The characteristic function W(a,0;z) is computed for the first time, with all zeros confirmed real. (R9) Indirect traces of GUE statistics appear in the moment structure, even where direct detection is blocked. The authors emphasize that this work does not prove RH. All results are Archimedean and universal, with significance lying in the faithful numerical realization of classical identities rather than new arithmetic.

We address the problem of determining the Hausdorff dimension of sets consisting of complex irrationals whose complex continued fraction digits satisfy prescribed restrictions and growth conditions. For the Hurwitz continued fraction, we confirm Hirst's conjecture, as a complex analogue of the result of Wang and Wu [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. {\bf 40} (2008), no. 1, 18--22] for the regular continued fraction. We also prove a complex analogue of the second-named author's result on the Hausdorff dimension of sets with restricted slowly growing digits [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. {\bf 151} (2023), no. 9, 3645--3653]. To these ends, we exploit an infinite conformal iterated function system associated with the Hurwitz continued fraction.

We prove a density theorem for the auxiliar function mathcal R(s) found by Siegel in Riemann papers. Let α be a real number with frac12< αle 1, and let N(α,T) be the number of zeros ρ=β+iγ of mathcal R(s) with 1ge βgeα and 0<γle T. Then we prove \[N(α,T)\ll T^{\frac32-α}(\log T)^3.\] Therefore, most of the zeros of mathcal R(s) are near the critical line or to the left of that line. The imaginary line for π^{-s/2}Γ(s/2)mathcal R(s) passing through a zero of mathcal R(s) near the critical line frequently will cut the critical line, producing two zeros of ζ(s) in the critical line.

We introduce a classification conjecture for kappa-solutions in 4d Ricci flow. Our conjectured list includes known examples from the literature, but also a new 1-parameter family of Z_2^2times O_3-symmetric bubble-sheet ovals that we construct. We observe that some special cases of the conjecture follow from recent results in the literature. We also introduce a stronger variant of the classification conjecture for ancient asymptotically cylindrical 4d Ricci flows, which does not assume smoothness and nonnegative curvature operator a priori. Assuming this stronger variant holds true, we establish a canonical neighborhood theorem for 4d Ricci flow through cylindrical singularities, which shares some elements in common with Perelman's canonical neighborhood theorem for 3d Ricci flow as well as the mean-convex neighborhood theorem for mean curvature flow through neck-singularities. Finally, we argue that quotient-necks lead to new phenomena, and sketch an example of non-uniqueness for 4d Ricci flow through singularities.

In recent decades, a growing number of discoveries in fields of mathematics have been assisted by computer algorithms, primarily for exploring large parameter spaces that humans would take too long to investigate. As computers and algorithms become more powerful, an intriguing possibility arises - the interplay between human intuition and computer algorithms can lead to discoveries of novel mathematical concepts that would otherwise remain elusive. To realize this perspective, we have developed a massively parallel computer algorithm that discovers an unprecedented number of continued fraction formulas for fundamental mathematical constants. The sheer number of formulas discovered by the algorithm unveils a novel mathematical structure that we call the conservative matrix field. Such matrix fields (1) unify thousands of existing formulas, (2) generate infinitely many new formulas, and most importantly, (3) lead to unexpected relations between different mathematical constants, including multiple integer values of the Riemann zeta function. Conservative matrix fields also enable new mathematical proofs of irrationality. In particular, we can use them to generalize the celebrated proof by Ap\'ery for the irrationality of zeta(3). Utilizing thousands of personal computers worldwide, our computer-supported research strategy demonstrates the power of experimental mathematics, highlighting the prospects of large-scale computational approaches to tackle longstanding open problems and discover unexpected connections across diverse fields of science.

According to the generalized Polya theorem, the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the property of equidistribution of a monomial and a linear form of independent identically distributed random variables. We give a complete description of a-adic solenoids for which an analog of this theorem is true. The proof of the main theorem is reduced to solving some functional equation in the class of continuous positive definite functions on the character group of an a-adic solenoid

The Shadowing Principle of Manin has proved a valuable tool for addressing questions of quantitative topology raised by Gromov in the late 1900s. The principle informally provides a way for bounded algebraic maps between differential graded algebras to be translated into nearby genuine maps between their geometric realizations. We extend this principle to finite towers of principal K(G,n) fibrations, and in particular apply this construction to nilpotent spaces. As a specific application of the extended principle, we provide upper bounds on the asymptotic behavior of volumes of nullhomotopies of Lipschitz maps into nilpotent spaces. We further refine these bounds in the case when c = 1 to nearly meet those of the simply connected setting. We similarly refine these bounds in the event the target space is coformal, and demonstrate that the bounds in this setting are nearly sharp.

Given any complete Riemannian manifold M, we prove that for every p in (1, 2] and every ε> 0, $ | nabla f |_p^2 le C_ε| Δ^{1{2} + ε} f |_{p}| Δ^{1{2} - ε} f |_{p}.$The estimate is dimension free. This inequality is even proved in the abstract setting of generators of sub-Markov semigroups.

Semidefinite programming is a fundamental problem class in convex optimization, but despite recent advances in solvers, solving large-scale semidefinite programs remains challenging. Generally the matrix functions involved are spectral or unitarily invariant, i.e., they depend only on the eigenvalues or singular values of the matrix. This paper investigates how spectral matrix cones -- cones defined from epigraphs and perspectives of spectral or unitarily invariant functions -- can be used to enhance first-order conic solvers for semidefinite programs. Our main result shows that projecting a matrix can be reduced to projecting its eigenvalues or singular values, which we demonstrate can be done at a negligible cost compared to the eigenvalue or singular value decomposition itself. We have integrated support for spectral matrix cone projections into the Splitting Conic Solver (SCS). Numerical experiments show that SCS with this enhancement can achieve speedups of up to an order of magnitude for solving semidefinite programs arising in experimental design, robust principal component analysis, and graph partitioning.

We establish a unified framework for understanding the results on the Weil quadratic form obtained by Yoshida (1992), Bombieri (2001, 2003), Connes--Consani (2023), and Connes--Consani--Moscovici (2025+) from the perspective of the screw function introduced in Suzuki (2023). An advantage of the approach via the screw function is that it provides a method to study the Weil quadratic form, which is originally defined in terms of distributions, by means of continuous functions. Based on this framework, we formulate a conjecture stating that a self-adjoint operator whose eigenvalues are the imaginary parts of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function can be obtained as the limit, as a to infty, of self-adjoint operators arising from nonlocal realizations of the first-order differential operator on the finite interval [-a,a]. All these results are obtained without assuming the Riemann Hypothesis. This conjecture may be compared with the limit formula for the Riemann zeta function expressed in terms of zeta-regularized products proposed by Connes, Consani, and Moscovici, and it sheds new light on the spectral-theoretic interpretation of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

Scientific discovery via symbolic regression is often viewed as statistically and computationally intractable because the hypothesis space of expressions grows combinatorially with depth. This paper revisits the statistical side through the lens of PAC learning, focusing on compositional function trees built from a finite vocabulary of smooth operators (e.g., {+,times,sin,exp} and affine maps). We prove that the relevant generalization quantity, Rademacher complexity, hence the excess risk, does not necessarily blow up exponentially with the number of distinct symbolic structures, but is controlled by (i) the depth d and (ii) the Lipschitz constants of the base operators along the composed computation graph. Concretely, under mild Lipschitz conditions on operators and bounded affine leaves, a finite-union bound over a vocabulary of size K=|H_{base}| together with Maurer-type vector contraction yields R_n(H_{comp}^{d}) leq (Kb2L)^{d-1}R_n(H_{comp}^{1}) with arity bound b; corresponding high-probability risk bounds scale as O(L^{d}/n) when K,b=O(1) and R_n(H_{comp}^{1})=O(n^{-1/2}). We complement the theory with a modular codebase that trains differentiable operator trees (not MLPs) on synthetic "physics-like" targets of controlled depth and shows that the empirical generalization gap correlates positively with the predicted complexity term (L^{d})/n.

It was demonstrated recently that the W_{1+infty} algebra contains commutative subalgebras associated with all integer slope rays (including the vertical one). In this paper, we realize that every element of such a ray is associated with a generalized widetilde W algebra. In particular, the simplest commutative subalgebra associated with the rational Calogero Hamiltonians is associated with the widetilde W algebras studied earlier. We suggest a definition of the generalized widetilde W algebra as differential operators in variables p_k basing on the matrix realization of the W_{1+infty} algebra, and also suggest an unambiguous recursive definition, which, however, involves more elements of the W_{1+infty} algebra than is contained in its commutative subalgebras. The positive integer rays are associated with widetilde W algebras that form sets of Ward identities for the WLZZ matrix models, while the vertical ray associated with the trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland model describes the hypergeometric tau-functions corresponding to the completed cycles.

For a finite family of representations of a reductive group, we define a Laurent polynomial on the group. The exponential sum associated this Laurent polynomial is called a hypergeometric exponential sum. We introduce an arithmetic hypergeometric mathcal D-module to study the hypergeometric exponential sum. It is an overholonomic arithmetic mathcal D-module with a Frobenius structure so that the trace of the Frobenius at a rational point is the exponential sum. Over the locus where the Laurent polynomial is nondegenerate, the arithmetic hypergeometric D-module defines an F-isocrystal overconvergent along the degenerate locus. As an application, we get an estimation of the hypergeometric exponential sum.

We introduce Exhaustive Symbolic Integration (ESI), a method that enumerates all symbolic functions up to a given complexity k within a specified operator basis and determines which admit closed-form antiderivatives within the same class. This allows us to compute the "integrability fraction" ρ(k) (the fraction of functions whose derivatives lie within the same class), which we do for five operator bases including combinations of rational functions, powers, exponentials, logarithms and trigonometric functions. We find that ρ(k) declines at high complexity and that the operator basis has a dramatic effect -- in particular, adding the logarithm boosts ρ(k) by a factor of sim3 and produces or exacerbates a clear peak at k=6. We also deploy ESI as a novel integration algorithm, identifying three integrals that resist SymPy, Mathematica, RUBI, FriCAS, Maxima and Giac under all tested strategies. When an antiderivative can be found by multiple methods, ESI often returns the simplest form. These results reveal that the landscape of symbolic integrability is shaped primarily by the choice of operators, and that exhaustive enumeration can systematically discover integrable forms -- including novel ones -- that elude computer albegra systems.

For the polynomial f(z) in Q[z], we consider the Zsigmondy set Z(f,0) associated to the numerators of the sequence {f^n(0)}_{n geq 0}. In this paper, we provide an upper bound on the largest element of Z(f, 0). As an application, we show that the largest element of the set Z(f,0) is bounded above by 6 when f(z) = z^d + z^e +c in Q[z], with d>e geq 2 and |c|>2. Furthermore, when f(z) =z^d+c in Q[z] with |f(0)| > 2^{d{d-1}} and d >2, we also deduce a result of Krieger [Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN, 23 (2013), pp. 5498-5525] as a consequence of our main result.

We study the hardmax limit of self-attention dynamics for token embeddings obtained in the zero-temperature (βto+infty) regime, and relate it to the finite-β setting. In this limit, the update rule can be viewed as a Frank-Wolfe step for a quadratic objective over the convex hull of the current token embeddings. When the key-query matrix is negative semidefinite, the method linearly contracts all tokens to a single cluster at the origin. When it is positive semidefinite, extending the hardmax rule to the entire convex hull induces a Voronoi diagram: vertices are stationary, interior points remain in their initial cells, and each token moves along a straight line toward its cell's vertex, yielding (super-)exponential convergence. As a byproduct, we also establish well-posedness of the associated ODE limit in this regime. Returning to the finite-β regime, we model self-attention dynamics as a Markov chain and prove dynamic metastability: with high probability, interior tokens reach near-vertex configurations in a constant number of steps and remain within a small neighborhood for times that grow exponentially in the inverse temperature β, before ultimately collapsing to the origin. Thus, the hardmax dynamics accurately approximate the finite-β process over exponentially long time horizons.
