Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial of even degree $d$. We study the decompositions $f=\sum_{i=1}^r f_i^2$ where $\mathrm{deg} f_i=d/2$. The minimal number of summands $r$ is called the $2$-rank of $f$, so that the polynomials having…

Let $s_d(n)$ be the number of distinct decompositions of the $d$-dimensional hypercube with $n$ rectangular regions that can be obtained via a sequence of splitting operations. We prove that the generating series $y = \sum_{n \geq 1}…

Preference orderings are orderings of a set of items according to the preferences (of judges). Such orderings arise in a variety of domains, including group decision making, consumer marketing, voting and machine learning. Measuring the…

We obtain upper bounds on the number of finite sets $\mathcal S$ of primes below a given bound for which various $2$ variable $\mathcal S$-unit equations have a solution.

The operator product expansion for ``small'' Wilson loops in {\cal N}=4, d=4 SYM is studied. The OPE coefficients are calculated in the large N and g_{YM}^2 N limit by exploiting the AdS/CFT correspondence. We also consider Wilson surfaces…

We study the structure of a uniformly randomly chosen partial order of width 2 on n elements. We show that under the appropriate scaling, the number of incomparable elements converges to the height of a one dimensional Brownian excursion at…

We classify the singularities of a surface ruled by conics: they are rational double points of type $A_n$ or $D_n$. This is proved by showing that they arise from a precise series of blow-ups of a suitable surface geometrically ruled by…

In this paper we describe a procedure of calculating the number cubes that have coordinates in the set {0,1,...,n}. We adapt the code that appeared in [11] developed to calculate the number of regular tetrahedra with coordinates in the set…

We introduce a variant of the cover time of a graph, called cover cost, in which the cost of a step is proportional to the number of yet uncovered vertices. It turns out that cover cost is more tractable than cover time; we provide an…

We study $n$-dimensional matrices with $\{0,1\}$-entries ($n$-cubes) such that all their $2$-dimensional slices are incidence matrices of symmetric designs. A known construction of these objects obtained from difference sets is generalized…

The $k$-cover of a point cloud $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ at radius $r$ is the set of all points within distance $r$ of at least $k$ points of $X$. By varying $r$ and $k$ we obtain a two-parameter filtration known as the multicover…

A method is suggested for construction of quadrangulations of the closed orientable surface with given genus g and either (1) with given chromatic number or (2) with given order allowed by the genus g. In particular, N. Hartsfield and G.…

We prove that in all dimensions n at least 3, for every integer N there exists a distribution of points of cardinality $ N$, for which the associated discrepancy function D_N satisfies the estimate an estimate, of sharp growth rate in N, in…

This paper addresses the so-called conformal capacities in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 3$, through comparing three existing definitions (due to Betsakos, Colesanti-Cuoghi, Anderson-Vamananmurthy-Fuglede respectively) and studying their associated…

In order to count the number of smooth cubic hypersurfaces tangent to a prescribed number of lines and passing through a given number of points, we construct a compactification of their moduli space. We term the latter a…

We consider a system of $R$ cubic forms in $n$ variables, with integer coefficients, which define a smooth complete intersection in projective space. Provided $n\geq 25R$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in…

Let $M_n$ be a simple triangulation of the sphere $S^2$, drawn uniformly at random from all such triangulations with n vertices. Endow $M_n$ with the uniform probability measure on its vertices. After rescaling graph distance on $V(M_n)$ by…

We count the number of countable homogeneous colored linear orderings in $k$ colors. Relatedly, we count the number of countable $C_{n,m}$-homogeneous linear orderings. $C_{n,m}$-homogeneity is a strong homogeneity notion that approximates…

Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$. We show that the number of vertex-labelled cubic multigraphs embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ with $2n$ vertices is asymptotically $c_g n^{5(g-1)/2-1}\gamma^{2n}(2n)!$, where $\gamma$…
