Let A be an arrangement of complex hyperplanes. The fundamental group of the complement of A is determined by a braid monodromy homomorphism from a finitely generated free group to the pure braid group. Using the Gassner representation of…
We present uniqueness results for enclosing ellipses of minimal area in the hyperbolic plane. Uniqueness can be guaranteed if the minimizers are sought among all ellipses with prescribed axes or center. In the general case, we present a…
Working over the field of order 2 we consider those complete caps (maximal sets of points with no three collinear) which are disjoint from some codimension 2 subspace of projective space. We derive restrictive conditions which such a cap…
In a recent paper, after introducing the notion of plus-one generated hyperplane arrangements, Takuro Abe has shown that if we add (resp. delete) a line to (resp. from) a free line arrangement, then the resulting line arrangement is either…
We prove that for any finite real hyperplane arrangement the average projection volumes of the maximal cones is given by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the arrangement. This settles the conjecture of Drton and Klivans…
We define several notions of a limit point on sequences with domain a barrier in $[\omega]^{<\omega}$ focusing on the two dimensional case $[\omega]^2$. By exploring some natural candidates, we show that countable compactness has a number…
In this article we completely determine the possible dimensions of integral points and holomorphic curves on the complement of a union of hyperplanes in projective space. Our main theorems generalize a result of Evertse and Gyory, who…
An arrangement of hyperplanes is called formal, if the relations between the hyperplanes are generated by relations in codimension 2. Formality is not a combinatorial property, raising the question for a characterization for combinatorial…
A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…
For an arbitrary rational polyhedron we consider its decompositions into Minkowski summands and, dual to this, the free extensions of the associated pair of semigroups. Being free for the pair of semigroups is equivalent to flatness for the…
In this article we prove in main Theorem A that any infinity type real hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{H}_n^m$ (Definition 2.11) with the associated normal system $\mathcal{N}$ (Definitions [2.2,2.4] can be represented isomorphically…
In this paper we analyse the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a rather general class of hyperbolic systems with space-time dependent coefficients and with multiple characteristics of variable multiplicity. First, we establish a…
A purely combinatorial compactification of the configuration space of n (>4) distinct points with equal weights in the real projective line was introduced by M. Yoshida. We geometrize it so that it will be a real hyperbolic cone-manifold of…
We study the relation between zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals and roots of b-functions and obtain a criterion to guarantee that roots of b-functions of a reducible polynomial are determined by the zero locus of the associated…
A "Two-Spaceship Paradox" in special relativity is resolved and discussed. We demonstrate a nonstandard resolution to the "two-spaceship paradox" by explicit calculation using Generalized Principle of limiting 4-dimensional symmetry…
In the theory of hyperplane arrangements, M. Wakefield and S. Yuzvinsky utilized a square matrix in their research on the exponents of $2$-dimensional multiarrangements. Using such a matrix, they showed that the exponents of $2$-dimensional…
We present a new approach to simple homotopy theory of polyhedra using finite topological spaces. We define the concept of collapse of a finite space and prove that this new notion corresponds exactly to the concept of a simplicial…
We are interested in the naive problem whether we can move a solid object in a solid box or not. We restrict move to rotation. In the case we can, the centre and the ``direction'' of rotation may be restricted. Simplifying, we consider…
We define the flag space and space of singular vectors for an arrangement A of hyperplanes in projective space equipped with a system of weights a: A --> C. We show that the contravariant bilinear form of the corresponding weighted central…
Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…
