Improper legitimization of hijacked journals through citations

Anna Abalkina, Guillaume Cabanac, Cyril Labbé +1

The goal is to study the prevalence of citajacked papers: papers in authentic scientific journals citing hijacked journals, in academic literature. A Citejacked detector was design…

Tortured phrases: A dubious writing style emerging in science. Evidence of critical issues affecting established journals

Guillaume Cabanac, Cyril Labbé, Alexander Magazinov

Probabilistic text generators have been used to produce fake scientific papers for more than a decade. Such nonsensical papers are easily detected by both human and machine. Now mo…

Concentration inequalities for log-concave distributions with applications to random surface fluctuations

Alexander Magazinov, Ron Peled

We derive two concentration inequalities for linear functions of log-concave distributions: an enhanced version of the classical Brascamp--Lieb concentration inequality, and an ine…

Mixing properties of colorings of the lattice

Noga Alon, Raimundo Briceño, Nishant Chandgotia +2

We study and classify proper -colorings of the lattice, identifying three regimes where different combinatorial behavior holds: (1) When , there exist fr…

On the Voronoi Conjecture for combinatorially Voronoi parallelohedra in dimension five

Mathieu Dutour Sikirić, Alexey Garber, Alexander Magazinov

In a recent paper Garber, Gavrilyuk and Magazinov proposed a sufficient combinatorial condition for a parallelohedron to be affinely Voronoi. We show that this condition holds for…

A proof of a conjecture by Haviv, Lyubashevsky and Regev on the second moment of a lattice Voronoi cell

Alexander Magazinov

In this short note we prove a sharp lower bound for the second moment of a lattice Voronoi cell in terms of the respective covering radius. This gives an affirmative answer to a co…

On Delaunay's classification theorem on faces of parallelohedra of codimension three

Alexander Magazinov

In 1929 B.~N.~Delaunay proved that there are exactly 5 types of coincidence of parallelohedra at faces of codimension 3. We give a combinatorial proof of this theorem and prove sev…

On the number of hyperbolic manifolds of complexity n

A. Magazinov, I. Shnurnikov

We consider hyperbolic manifolds with boundary, which admit an ideal triangulation with n ideal triangles and one edge. We prove that the number of these manifolds is $\exp(n\ln(n)…

A criterion of reducibility for a parallelohedron

Andrei Ordine, Alexander Magazinov

A parallelohedron is called reducible, if it can be represented as a direct product of two parallelohedra of lower dimension. In his Ph.D. thesis (2005) the first author proved a c…
