Given a set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, a hollow polytope has vertices in $S$ but contains no other point of $S$ in its interior. We prove upper and lower bounds on the maximum number of vertices of hollow polytopes whose facets are…
We develop a theory of graph algebras over general fields. This is modeled after the theory developed by Freedman, Lov\'asz and Schrijver in [22] for connection matrices, in the study of graph homomorphism functions over real edge weight…
In 1978, Makai Jr. established a remarkable connection between the volume-product of a convex body, its maximal lattice packing density and the minimal density of a lattice arrangement of its polar body intersecting every affine hyperplane.…
Let $X \subset {\mathbb R}^m$ be a spherical code (i.e., a finite subset of the unit sphere) and consider the ideal of all polynomials in $m$ variables which vanish on $X$. Motivated by a study of cometric ($Q$-polynomial) association…
We introduce the property of convex normality of rational polytopes and give a dimensionally uniform lower bound for the edge lattice lengths, guaranteeing the property. As an application, we show that if every edge of a lattice d-polytope…
Gr\"atzer asked in 1971 for a characterization of sublattices of Tamari lattices (associahedra). A natural candidate was coined by McKenzie in 1972 with the notion of a bounded homomorphic image of a free lattice---in short, bounded…
There is a rich theory of so-called (strict) nearly Kaehler manifolds, almost-Hermitian manifolds generalising the famous almost complex structure on the 6-sphere induced by octonionic multiplication. Nearly Kaehler 6-manifolds play a…
We present a geometric approach towards derandomizing the Isolation Lemma by Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani. In particular, our approach produces a quasi-polynomial family of weights, where each weight is an integer and quasi-polynomially…
Given lattice polytopes $P_1, \ldots, P_k$ contained in a $k$-dimensional subspace $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a $d$-dimensional lattice polytope $Q \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we compute the Hodge vector of the Cayley polytope $P_1 * \cdots…
In this paper we give a first study of perfect copositive $n \times n$ matrices. They can be used to find rational certificates for completely positive matrices. We describe similarities and differences to classical perfect, positive…
Let $\mathscr{C}_\mathbb{Z}([0,1])$ be the metric space of real-valued continuous functions on $[0,1]$ with integer values at $0$ and $1$, equipped with the uniform (supremum) metric $d_\infty$. It is a classical theorem in approximation…
A polytope is called a Coxeter polytope if its dihedral angles are integer parts of $\pi$. In this paper we prove that if a non-compact Coxeter polytope of finite volume in $H^n$ has exactly $n+3$ facets then $n\le 16$. We also find an…
We show that by cutting off the vertices and then the edges of neighborly cubical polytopes, one obtains simple 4-dimensional polytopes with n vertices such that all separators of the graph have size at least $\Omega(n/\log^{3/2}n)$. This…
We establish a strong form of Littlewood's conjecture with inhomogeneous shifts, for a full-dimensional set of pairs of badly approximable numbers on a vertical line. We also prove a uniform assertion of this nature, generalising a strong…
A graph is called homogeneously traceable if every vertex is an endpoint of a Hamilton path. In 1979 Chartrand, Gould and Kapoor proved that for every integer $n\ge 9,$ there exists a homogeneously traceable nonhamiltonian graph of order…
In his famous theorem (1982), Douglas Leonard characterized the $q$-Racah polynomials and their relatives in the Askey scheme from the duality property of $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graphs. In this paper we consider a nonsymmetric (or…
In this paper we completely characterize lattice ideals that are complete intersections or equivalently complete intersections finitely generated semigroups of $\bz^n\oplus T$ with no invertible elements, where $T$ is a finite abelian…
A vertical 2-sum of a two-coatom lattice $L$ and a two-atom lattice $U$ is obtained by removing the top of $L$ and the bottom of $U$, and identifying the coatoms of $L$ with the atoms of $U$. This operation creates one or two nonisomorphic…
In 2020 Bhavale and Waphare introduced the concept of a nullity of a poset as nullity of its cover graph. In 2003 Pawar and Waphare counted all non-isomorphic lattices on n elements and n edges, which are precisely lattices of nullity one.…
We prove the following result: Theorem. Every algebraic distributive lattice D with at most $\aleph\_1$ compact elements is isomorphic to the ideal lattice of a von Neumann regular ring R. (By earlier results of the author, the $\aleph\_1$…
