For each $n$, let $text{RD}(n)$ denote the minimum $d$ for which there exists a formula for the general polynomial of degree $n$ in algebraic functions of at most $d$ variables. In 1945, Segre called for a better understanding of the large $n$ behavior of $text{RD}(n)$. In this paper, we provide improved thresholds for upper bounds on $text{RD}(n)$. Our techniques build upon classical algebraic geometry to provide new upper bounds for small $n$ and, in doing so, fix gaps in the proofs of A. Wiman and G.N. Chebotarev in [Wim1927] and [Che1954].
We develop the theory of resolvent degree, introduced by Brauer cite{Br} in order to study the complexity of formulas for roots of polynomials and to give a precise formulation of Hilberts 13th Problem. We extend the context of this theory to enumerative problems in algebraic geometry, and consider it as an intrinsic invariant of a finite group. As one application of this point of view, we prove that Hilberts 13th Problem, and his Sextic and Octic Conjectures, are equivalent to various enumerative geometry problems, for example problems of finding lines on a smooth cubic surface or bitangents on a smooth planar quartic.
We give a sufficient criterion for a lower bound of the cactus rank of a tensor. Then we refine that criterion in order to be able to give an explicit sufficient condition for a non-redundant decomposition of a tensor to be minimal and unique.
We study growth rates for strongly continuous semigroups. We prove that a growth rate for the resolvent on imaginary lines implies a corresponding growth rate for the semigroup if either the underlying space is a Hilbert space, or the semigroup is asymptotically analytic, or if the semigroup is positive and the underlying space is an $L^{p}$-space or a space of continuous functions. We also prove variations of the main results on fractional domains; these are valid on more general Banach spaces. In the second part of the article we apply our main theorem to prove optimality in a classical example by Renardy of a perturbed wave equation which exhibits unusual spectral behavior.
We classify indecomposable aCM bundles of rank $2$ on the del Pezzo threefold of degree $7$ and analyze the corresponding moduli spaces.
We construct a family of birational maps acting on two dimensional projective varieties, for which the growth of the degrees of the iterates is cubic. It is known that this growth can be bounded, linear, quadratic or exponential for such maps acting on two dimensional compact Kahler varieties. The example we construct goes beyond this limitation, thanks to the presence of a singularity on the variety where the maps act. We provide all details of the calculations.
