Let (W, R) be a Coxeter system and let (w in W). We say that u is a prefix of w if there is a reduced expression for u that can be extended to one for w. That is, (w = uv) for some v in W such that (ell (w) = ell (u) + ell (v)). We say that w has the ancestor property if the set of prefixes of w contains a unique involution of maximal length. In this paper, we show that all Coxeter elements of finitely generated Coxeter groups have the ancestor property, and hence a canonical expression as a product of involutions. We conjecture that the property in fact holds for all non-identity elements of finite Coxeter groups.

We show that the (multi)function of the closest points is locally Lipschitz outside of the medial axis of a closed set (Xsubset mathbb {R}^n). With this result, we prove that the medial axis of X approaches every point where X is not Lipschitz normally embedded.

A classical theorem of Weyl states that any polynomial with an irrational coefficient other than the constant term is uniformly distributed mod 1. We prove a new function field analogue of this statement, confirming a conjecture of Lê, Liu, and Wooley.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of which Lie algebras appear as the derived algebra of a Lie algebra. We present new results that further develop this study and address two questions raised in a paper concerned with the corresponding problem for groups.

We study n-isometric elementary operators of length one, highlighting the special case (n=1), which is fundamental due to the importance and practical relevance of classical isometries. In this case, we provide two proofs: one based on norm arguments and the other using an identification with tensor products and standard factorization properties. For arbitrary n, we furnish a direct proof of a result by Caixing Gu on n-isometric elementary operators of length one, relying solely on an antiunitary cosimilarity and a single lemma, and thereby eschewing the auxiliary arguments of the original work.

We use methods of direct optimization as in El Allali and Harrell (Proc Am Math Soc 150:57–587, 2022) to characterize the minimizers of the fundamental gap of Sturm–Liouville operators on an interval, under the constraint that the potential is of single-well form and that the weight function is of single-barrier form, and under similar constraints expressed in terms of convexity.

It has been shown that the set of universal functions on trees contains a linear subspace except zero, dense in the space of forward-only harmonic functions. In this paper, we show that the set of universal functions contains two linear subspaces except zero, dense in the space of forward-only harmonic functions that intersect only at zero. We work in the most general case that has been studied so far, letting our functions take values over a topological vector space.

It is conjectured that, for any group G, the Jacobson radical (J({mathbb {Z}}[G])) of the integral group ring ({mathbb {Z}}[G]) is zero. This is known to be true when G is finite. Here we show it is true for a reasonably large class of infinite groups, including finitely generated linear groups and groups which satisfy Higman’s ‘two unique products’ condition.
