We show that, in dimension at least $4$, the set of locally finite simplicial volumes of oriented connected open manifolds is $[0, \infty]$. Moreover, we consider the case of tame open manifolds and some low-dimensional examples.

It is proved that the volume of spherical or hyperbolic simplices, when considered as a function of the dihedral angles, can be extended continuously to degenerated simplices.

We prove that if an $n$-dimensional space $X$ satisfies certain topological conditions then any triangulation of $X$ as well as any its representation as a simplicial set with contractible faces has at least $2^n$ faces of dimension $n$.…

Tan et al. conjectured that connected co-edge-regular graphs with four distinct eigenvalues and fixed smallest eigenvalue, when having sufficiently large valency, belong to two different families of graphs. In this paper we construct two…

Polynomial identities of two-dimensional Novikov algebras are studied over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$. We determine minimal generating sets for the T-ideals of the polynomial identities and linear bases for the corresponding relatively…

In this paper we present some linear algebra behind quadratic parts of quadratically flat complex points of codimension two real submanifold in a complex manifold. Assuming some extra nondegenericity and using the result of Hong, complete…

We present two identities (contiguity relation and variation formula) concerning the volume of a spherically faced simplex in the Euclidean space. These identities are described in terms of Cayley-Menger determinants and their differentials…

We prove that the group $\mathrm{SAut}_{\mathrm{k}}(\mathbb{A}^2)$ is simple as an algebraic group of infinite dimension, over any infinite field $\mathrm{k}$, by proving that any closed normal subgroup is either trivial or the whole group.…

We prove that each lower-dimensional face of a quasi-arithmetic Coxeter polytope, which happens to be itself a Coxeter polytope, is also quasi-arithmetic. We also provide a sufficient condition for a codimension $1$ face to be actually…

We introduce a new class of possibly noncompact n-dimensional manifolds without boundary associated to finite data which we call topological automata. This class is large enough to contain many interesting examples of open 2-dimensional and…

We determine the spectra of cubic plane graphs whose faces have sizes 3 and 6. Such graphs, "(3,6)-fullerenes", have been studied by chemists who are interested in their energy spectra. In particular we prove a conjecture of Fowler, which…

Motivated by the Dani-Mainkar construction, we extend the notion of independence polynomial of graphs to arbitrary 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. After establishing efficiently computable upper and lower bounds for the independence number,…

Let $M^d$ be the spherical, Euclidean, or hyperbolic space of dimension $d\ge n+1$. Given any degenerate $(n+1)$-simplex $\mathbf{A}$ in $M^d$ with non-degenerate $n$-faces $F_i$, there is a natural partition of the set of $n$-faces into…

Let $G$ be the circulant graph $C_n(S)$ with $S\subseteq\{ 1,\ldots,\left \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right \rfloor\}$ and let $\Delta$ be its independence complex. We describe the well-covered circulant graphs with 2-dimensional $\Delta$ and…

We show that there are simple 4-dimensional polytopes with n vertices such that all separators of the graph have size at least $\Omega(n/\log n)$. This establishes a strong form of a claim by Thurston, for which the construction and proof…

We consider a finite set $E$ of points in the $n$-dimensional affine space and two sets of objects that are generated by the set $E$: the system $\Sigma$ of $n$-dimensional simplices with vertices in $E$ and the system $\Gamma$ of chambers.…

Arrondo, Sols and De Cataldo proved that there are only finitely many families of codimension two subvarieties not of general type in the smooth quadric of dimension $n+2$ for $n\ge 2 $, $n\neq 4$. In this paper we drop the assumption…

Given a degenerate $(n+1)$-simplex in a $d$-dimensional space $M^d$ (Euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic space, and $d\geq n$), for each $k$, $1\leq k\leq n$, Radon's theorem induces a partition of the set of $k$-faces into two subsets. We…

The graph polynomial for the number of independent sets of size $k$ in a general undirected graph is shown to be equal to an elementary symmetric polynomial of the vertex monomials, which are determined by the edges incident at the…

A cograph is a simple graph which contains no path on 4 vertices as an induced subgraph. We consider the eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of cographs and prove that a graph $G$ is a cograph if and only if no induced subgraph of $G$ has an…
