Additive and geometric transversality of fractal sets in the integers

By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In this work, we in ...

GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF INTERSECTION GRAPHS OF AXIS-PARALLEL SEGMENTS

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...

Robust Collaborative Learning with Linear Gradient Overhead

Rachid Guerraoui, John Stephan, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Le Nguyen Hoang, Nirupam Gupta, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

Collaborative learning algorithms, such as distributed SGD (or D-SGD), are prone to faulty machines that may deviate from their prescribed algorithm because of software or hardware bugs, poisoned data or malicious behaviors. While many solutions have been ...

The Lang-Trotter conjecture for products of non-CM elliptic curves

Vlad Serban

Inspired by the work of Lang-Trotter on the densities of primes with fixed Frobenius traces for elliptic curves defined over Q and by the subsequent generalization of Cojocaru-Davis-Silverberg-Stange to generic abelian varieties, we study the analogous que ...

On rationally connected varieties over C1 fields of characteristic 0

Marta Pieropan

We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...

Nonperturbative Mellin Amplitudes

João Pedro Alves Da Silva

Conformal field theory lies at the heart of two central topics in theoretical high energy physics: the study of quantum gravity and the mapping of quantum field theories through the renormalization group. In this thesis we explore a technique to study conf ...

Global Frobenius liftability I

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo p(2)-we expect that such varieties, after a finite stale cover, admit a toric fibration over an ordinary abelian v ...

Packing the Boolean lattice with copies of a poset

Istvan Tomon

The Boolean lattice (2[n],subset of) is the family of all subsets of [n]={1,MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS,n}, ordered by inclusion. Let P be a partially ordered set. We prove that if n is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing P of copies of P in (2 ...

New dense superball packings in three dimensions

Maria Margarethe Dostert

We construct a new family of lattice packings for superballs in three dimensions (unit balls for the l(3)(p) norm) with p epsilon (1, 1.58]. We conjecture that the family also exists for p epsilon (1.58, log(2) 3 = 1.5849625 ...]. Like in the densest latti ...

A Crossing Lemma for Multigraphs

János Pach

Let G be a drawing of a graph with n vertices and e > 4n edges, in which no two adjacent edges cross and any pair of independent edges cross at most once. According to the celebrated Crossing Lemma of Ajtai, Chvatal, Newborn, Szemeredi and Leighton, the nu ...

Nested Convex Bodies are Chaseable

In the Convex Body Chasing problem, we are given an initial point v0. Rd and an online sequence of n convex bodies F1,..., Fn. When we receive Ft, we are required to move inside Ft. Our goal is to minimize the total distance traveled. This fundamental onli ...

Efficient Greedy Coordinate Descent for Composite Problems

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Sai Praneeth Reddy Karimireddy, Anastasiia Koloskova

Coordinate descent with random coordinate selection is the current state of the art for many large scale optimization problems. However, greedy selection of the steepest coordinate on smooth problems can yield convergence rates independent of the dimension ...

Almost tiling of the Boolean lattice with copies of a poset

Istvan Tomon

Let P be a partially ordered set. If the Boolean lattice (2[n],⊂) can be partitioned into copies of P for some positive integer n, then P must satisfy the following two trivial conditions: (1) the size of P is a power of 2, (2) P has a unique maximal and m ...

Two-term, asymptotically sharp estimates for eigenvalue means of the Laplacian

We present asymptotically sharp inequalities for the eigenvalues mu(k) of the Laplacian on a domain with Neumann boundary conditions, using the averaged variational principle introduced in [14]. For the Riesz mean R-1(z) of the eigenvalues we improve the k ...
