### Is there a non-integer in the dimension spectrum for the Heisenberg group?

Let $\Gamma = \langle a,b,c \ | \ c=aba^{-1}b^{-1}, \ ac=ca, \ bc = cb \rangle$ be the discrete Heisenberg group. Let $\ell: \Gamma \to \mathbb{N}$ be the word length on $\Gamma$. This group has a ...

### How many unimodular lattices does it take to fill a cube with high probability?

Consider $C_a$ in $\Bbb Z^n$ a cube of height $a$ at origin in positive coordinates with one corner at origin. Consider the set $M_c$ of all unimodular matrices in $\Bbb Z^{n\times n}$ with each ...

### Singular symplectic reduction in infinite dimension

In 1991, Sjamaar and Lerman [1] introduced the notion of stratified symplectic spaces. Namely, if $M$ is a symplectic manifold and $G$ a Lie group acting properly (but not necessarily freely) on $M$ ...

### Are Bipartite Matching and General Matching Really Different Problems?

Questions: Have there been attempts to either prove or disprove, that every general matching problem can be transformed into a bipartite matching problem, from whose solution the solution ...

### Determinants of octonionic hermitian matrices

For quaternionic hermitian matrices (i.e. quaternionic square matrices $(a_{ij})$ satisfying $a_{ji}=\bar a_{ij}$) there is a nice notion of (Moore) determinant which can be defined as follows. ...

### Lower bound for smallest eigenvalue of symmetric doubly-stochastic Metropolis-Hasting transition matrix

For my master's thesis research, I stumbled upon a question concerning the Metropolis-Hasting transition matrix $W$. Context $\quad$ Let me start with some context. I consider connected undirected ...

### Bounding the degree of an algebraic extension containing solutions to polynomials

Also posted on math.stackexchange... Let $F$ be a field, and let $f_{1},\ldots, f_{s}$ be polynomials in $F[x_{1},\ldots, x_{t}]$. Assume that the degree of the polynomials is bounded by $d$, by ...

### Density of non-algebraic leaves in the characteristic foliation

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form $\omega$. Let $D$ be a smooth divisor on $X$. At each point of $D$, the restriction of $\omega$ to $D$ has ...
### Universal Property of Fontaine's Period Ring $B_{dR}^+$
In the introduction to his Asterisque Expose "Le Corps des Periodes p-Adiques", Fontaine announces a characterization of $B_{dR}^+$ by some universal property. Unfortunatly, at least for $B_{dR}^+$ ...
