The Bounded Cohomology of SL2 Over Local Fields and S-Integers

Nicolas Monod

It is proved that the continuous bounded cohomology of SL2(k) vanishes in all positive degrees whenever k is a non-Archimedean local field. This holds more generally for boundary-transitive groups of tree automorphisms and implies low degree vanishing for ...

A spectral refinement of the Bergelson–Host–Kra decomposition and new multiple ergodic theorems

Florian Karl Richter

We investigate how spectral properties of a measure-preserving system (X, B, mu, T) are reflected in the multiple ergodic averages arising from that system. For certain sequences a :N -> N, we provide natural conditions on the spectrum sigma (T) such that, ...

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 ...

Lonely Runner Polyhedra

Matthias Schymura

We study the Lonely Runner Conjecture, conceived by Jörg M. Wills in the 1960's: Given positive integers n_1, n_2, ... , n_k, there exists a positive real number t such that for all 1 \le j \le k the distance of t n_j to the nearest integer is at least 1 / ...

Learning Stable Task Sequences from Demonstration with Linear Parameter Varying Systems and Hidden Markov Models

Aude Billard, José Ramon Medina Hernandez

The problem of acquiring multiple tasks from demonstration is typi- cally divided in two sequential processes: (1) the segmentation or identification of different subgoals/subtasks and (2) a separate learning process that parameterizes a control policy for ...

On some algebraic and extremal problems in discrete geometry

Seyed Hossein Nassajianmojarrad

In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer

n\ge 3

, we define

e(n)

to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...

Revisiting the nilpotent polynomial Hales–Jewett theorem

Florian Karl Richter

Answering a question posed by Bergelson and Leibman in [6], we establish a nilpotent version of the Polynomial Hales–Jewett Theorem that contains the main theorem in [6] as a special case. Important to the formulation and the proof of our main theorem is t ...

Given a sequence of positive integers , let denote the family of all sequences of positive integers such that for all . Two families of sequences (or vectors), , are said to be -cross-intersecting if no matter how we select and , there are at least distinc ...

CM values of higher Green's functions and regularized Petersson products

Maryna Viazovska

Higher Green functions are real-valued functions of two variables on the upper half-plane, which are bi-invariant under the action of a congruence subgroup, have a logarithmic singularity along the diagonal, and satisfy the equation f = k(1−k) f ; here i ...

We estimate the selection constant in the following geometric selection theorem by Pach: For every positive integer d, there is a constant such that whenever are n-element subsets of , we can find a point and subsets for every , each of size at least , suc ...
