Let $k\ge 1$ be an odd integer, $t=\lfloor {{k+2}\over 4}\rfloor$, and $q$ be a prime power. We construct a bipartite, $q$-regular, edge-transitive graph $C\!D(k,q)$ of order $v \le 2q^{k-t+1}$ and girth $g \ge k+5$. If $e$ is the the…

We push further the classical proof of Weil upper bound for the number of rational points of an absolutely irreducible smooth projective curve $X$ over a finite field in term of euclidean relationships between the Neron Severi classes in…

In this article, we discuss when one can extend an r-regular graph to an r + 1 regular by adding edges. Different conditions on the num- ber of vertices n and regularity r are developed. We derive an upper bound of r, depending on n, for…

We introduce a new combinatorial abstraction for the graphs of polyhedra. The new abstraction is a flexible framework defined by combinatorial properties, with each collection of properties taken providing a variant for studying the…

We prove distance bounds for graphs possessing positive Bakry-\'Emery curvature apart from an exceptional set, where the curvature is allowed to be non-positive. If the set of non-positively curved vertices is finite, then the graph admits…

We discuss and compare several geometric structures which imply an upper bound to the acceleration of a particle measured in its rest system. While all of them have the same implications on the motion of a point particle, they differ in…

The Witten index for certain supersymmetric lattice models treated by de Boer, van Eerten, Fendley, and Schoutens, can be formulated as a topological invariant of simplicial complexes arising as independence complexes of graphs. We prove a…

We consider membranes as fluid deformable surface and allow for higher order geometric terms in the bending energy. The evolution equations are derived and numerically solved using surface finite elements. The higher order geometric terms…

We produce an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a Weierstrass-type function. Whilst strictly weaker than existing results, it has the advantage of being directly computable from the theory of hyperbolic iterated…

We provide proofs of the following theorems by considering the entropy of random walks: Theorem 1.(Alon, Hoory and Linial) Let G be an undirected simple graph with n vertices, girth g, minimum degree at least 2 and average degree d: Odd…

A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…

In this paper, we describe some recent spectral Moore theorems related to determining the maximum order of a connected graph of given valency and second eigenvalue. We show how these spectral Moore theorems have applications in Alon-Boppana…

We give bounds on the number of non-simple closed curves on a negatively curved surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, it was previously known that the number of all closed curves of length…

We define vertex cover algebras for weighted simplicial multicomplexes and prove basics properties of them. Also, we describe these algebras for multicomplexes which have only one maximal facet and we prove that they are finitely generated.

Almost Moore mixed graphs\/} appear in the context of the degree/diameter problem as a class of extremal mixed graphs, in the sense that their order is one unit less than the Moore bound for such graphs. The problem of their existence has…

Consider a graph on the non-singular matrices over a finite field, in which two distinct non-singular matrices are joined by an edge whenever their sum is singular. We prove an upper bound for the independence number of this graph. As a…

We reconsider the classical problem of representing a finite number of forms of degree d in n+1 variables as sums of powers of linear forms. We define a geometric construct called a `grove', which, in a number of cases allows us to…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

Let $f\in\Sigma_{n,2d}$ be a sum of squares. The Gram spectrahedron of $f$ is a compact, convex set that parametrizes all sum of squares representations of $f$. Let $F\subseteq\mathrm{Gram}(f)$ be a face of its Gram spectrahedron. We are…

The spectrum of a graph is closely related to many graph parameters. In particular, the spectral gap of a regular graph which is the difference between its valency and second eigenvalue, is widely seen an algebraic measure of connectivity…
