We classify isolated singularities $f \in K[[x_1,...,x_n]]$, which are simple, i.e. have no moduli, w.r.t. right equivalence, where $K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. For $K=\mathbb{R}$ or ...

Let $G(q)$ be a finite Chevalley group, where $q$ is a power of a good prime $p$, and let $U(q)$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G(q)$. Then a generalized version of a conjecture of Higman asserts that the number $k(U(q))$ of ...

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g$ and let Ham($\Sigma_ g$) be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $\Sigma_g$. The most natural word metric on this group is the autonomous metric. It has ...

We initiate the theory of a quadratic form q over a semiring $R$. As customary, one can write $q(x+y)=q(x)+q(y)+b(x,y)$, where b is a companion bilinear form. But in contrast to the ring-theoretic case, the companion ...

The sharp constants in the classical John-Nirenberg inequality are found by using Bellman function approach.

We introduce and study the largest Banach space of analytic functions on the unit disc which is solid for the coefficient-wise order and to which the classical Ces`aro operator $\mathcal{C}:H^2 \to H^2$ can be continuously ...

We obtain a Mehler–Heine type formula for a class of generalized hypergeometric polynomials. This type of formula describes the asymptotics of polynomials scale conveniently. As a consequence of this formula, we obtain ...

The Lichnerowicz conjecture asserts that all harmonic manifolds are either flat or locally symmetric spaces of rank 1. This conjecture has been proved by Z.I. Szab ́o [Sz] for harmonic manifolds with compact universal ...

The asymptotic behavior (as $\varepsilon \to 0$) of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a boundary-value problem for the Laplace operator in a thick cascade junction with concentrated masses is studied. This cascade junction ...
