A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. In…
Tiet\"{a}v\"{a}inen's upper and lower bounds assert that for block-length-$n$ linear codes with dual distance $d$, the covering radius $R$ is at most $\frac{n}{2}-(\frac{1}{2}-o(1))\sqrt{dn}$ and typically at least…
We compute the Large N limit of several objects related to the two-dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills measure on compact connected orientable surfaces of genus larger or equal to one, with a structure group taken among the classical groups of…
Let n_\delta be the number of \delta-nodal curves lying in a suitably ample complete linear system |L| and passing through appropriately many points on a smooth projective complex algebraic surface. A major open problem is to understand the…
We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence, using bounded cohomology of group representations. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of groups arising from negative…
We classify compact conformally flat $n$-dimensional manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature and satisfying an optimal integral pinching condition: they are covered isometrically by either $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with the round metric,…
Given a palette of six colors, a colored cube is a cube where each face is colored with exactly one color and each color appears on some face. Starting with an arbitrary collection of unit length colored cubes, one can try to arrange a…
Given a positive integer $n$, the small divisors of $n$ are defined as the positive divisors that do not exceed $\sqrt{n}.$ Ianucci previously classified all $n$ for which the small divisors of $n$ form an arithmetic progression. In this…
The Wro\'nski determinant ({\em Wro\'nskian}), usually introduced in standard courses in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE), is a very useful tool in algebraic geometry to detect ramification loci of linear systems. The present survey…
Let $W_3(n)$ be the set of Waring ranks of reducible cubic forms in $n+1$ variables. We prove that $W_3(n)\subseteq \lbrace 1,..., 2n+1\rbrace$.
We introduce the notion of an ordered face structure. The ordered face structures to many-to-one computads are like positive face structures to positive-to-one computads. This allow us to give an explicit combinatorial description of…
We record two facts on spaces of derived maps between the operads $E_d$ of little $d$-cubes. Firstly, these mapping spaces are equivalent to the mapping spaces between the non-unitary versions of $E_d$. Secondly, all endomorphisms of $E_d$…
A connected covering is a design system in which the corresponding {\em block graph} is connected. The minimum size of such coverings are called {\em connected coverings numbers}. In this paper, we present various formulas and bounds for…
Quantitative estimates related to the classical Borsuk problem of splitting set in Euclidean space into subsets of smaller diameter are considered. For a given $k$ there is a minimal diameter of subsets at which there exists a covering with…
The conformal compactification is considered in a hierarchy of hypercomplex projective spaces with relevance in physics including Minkowski and Anti-de Sitter space. The geometries are expressed in terms of bicomplex Vahlen matrices and…
Using modular forms we determine formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1$, $2$, $3$ or $6$.
Manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed have been studied a lot, but there are only few examples known. The situation is different if one allows in addition for orbifold singularities. We show, nevertheless, that the abundance of new…
We study the orbit of $\mathbb{R}$ under the Bianchi group $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$, where $K$ is an imaginary quadratic field. The orbit, called a Schmidt arrangement $\mathcal{S}_K$, is a geometric realisation, as an…
For every fixed $d \in \mathbb{N}$, we design a data structure that represents a binary $n \times n$ matrix that is $d$-twin-ordered. The data structure occupies $O_d(n)$ bits, which is the least one could hope for, and can be queried for…
Given a set of planar curves (Jordan arcs), each pair of which meets -- either crosses or touches -- exactly once, we establish an upper bound on the number of touchings. We show that such a curve family has $O(t^2n)$ touchings, where $t$…
