We prove that the dimension of a quartic symmetroid singular along a quadric of codimension 1 is at most 4, if it is not a cone. In the maximal case, the quadric is reducible and consists of rank-3-points. If the quadric is irreducible, it…

We introduce the dimension monoid of a lattice L, denoted by Dim L. The monoid Dim L is commutative and conical, the latter meaning that the sum of any two nonzero elements is nonzero. Furthermore, Dim L is given along with the dimension…

An $s$-extremal optimal unimodular lattice in dimension $52$ is constructed for the first time. This lattice is constructed from a certain self-dual $\mathbb{F}_5$-code by Construction A. In addition, as neighbors of the lattice, two more…

We formulate Euclidean spacetime lattices whose continuum limits are supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with eight supercharges in two and three dimensions. The lattice actions are themselves supersymmetric.

This paper proves the following results: Besides parallelograms and centrally symmetric hexagons, there is no other convex domain which can form a two-, three- or four-fold lattice tiling in the Euclidean plane. If a centrally symmetric…

We show that every cubic bridgeless graph with n vertices has at least 3n/4-10 perfect matchings. This is the first bound that differs by more than a constant from the maximal dimension of the perfect matching polytope.

We study the size of the largest rectangle containing no point of a given point set in the two-dimensional torus, the dispersion of the point set. A known lower bound for the dispersion of any point set of cardinality $n\ge 2$ in this…

In the current paper we study extremal semilattices with respect to their equational properties. In the class $\mathbf{S}_n$ of all semilattices of order $n$ we find semilattices which have maximal (minimal) number of consistent equations.…

We show that the degree of a graded lattice ideal of dimension 1 is the order of the torsion subgroup of the quotient group of the lattice. This gives an efficient method to compute the degree of this type of lattice ideals.

Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…

In this article we introduce the study of the number of pairs of non-comparable elements in a distributive lattice $\L$. We give several tight lower and upper bounds for the number and give as an application the lattices precisely for which…

It is shown that the Coxeter-Todd lattice is the unique strongly perfect lattice in dimension 12.

This paper proves that the facet-ridge incidence graph of the order complex of any finite geometric lattice of rank $r$ has diameter at most ${r \choose 2}$. A key ingredient is the well-known fact that every ordering of the atoms of any…

Consider the integer best approximations of a linear form in $n\ge 2$ real variables. While it is well-known that any tail of this sequence always spans a lattice is sharp for any $n\ge 2$. In this paper, we determine the exact Hausdorff…

For an even, integral hyperbolic lattice $L$, the symmetry group of $L$ is the quotient of the group of isometries of $L$ by the Weyl subgroup of $(-2)$-reflections. Following Nikulin, the exceptional lattice of $L$ is defined as the…

We show that the largest possible diameter $\delta(d,k)$ of a $d$-dimensional polytope whose vertices have integer coordinates ranging between $0$ and $k$ is at most $kd-\lceil2d/3\rceil$ when $k\geq3$. In addition, we show that…

We study how far the Index Theorem can be extrapolated from the continuum to finite lattices with finite topological charge densities. To examine how the Wilson action approximates the Index theorem, we specialize in the lattice version of…

In this paper we prove that the optimal lattice packing of the Minkowski, Davis, and Chebyshev-Cohn balls is realized with respect to the sublattices of index two of the critical lattices of corresponding balls

The space spanned by theta series of adjoints of maximal even lattices of exact level $N$ and determinant $N^2$ has the Weierstrass property and hence allows to define extremality for arbitrary squarefree level $N$. We find examples of such…

In this note, we discuss Hassett maximal cubic fourfolds and construct an explicit irreducible component of maximal dimension sixteen of the locus $\mathcal{Z}$ of Hassett maximal cubic fourfolds. We utilize algebraic and arithmetic methods…
