This paper is concerned with "nice" compactifications of manifolds. Siebenmann's iconic dissertation characterized open manifolds M^m (m>5) compactifiable by addition of a manifold boundary. His theorem extends easily to cases where M^m is…
We introduce and study a new family of extensions for the Borsuk-Ulam and topological Radon type theorems. The defining idea for this new family is to replace requirements of the form `a subset that is large in some sense goes to a…
We investigate the distribution of real algebraic numbers of a fixed degree having a close conjugate number, the distance between the conjugate numbers being given as a function of their height. The main result establishes the ubiquity of…
We give simple proofs of the Davenport--Heilbronn theorems, which provide the main terms in the asymptotics for the number of cubic fields having bounded discriminant and for the number of 3-torsion elements in the class groups of quadratic…
A theory of matchings for finite subsets of an abelian group, introduced in connection with a conjecture of Wakeford on canonical forms for homogeneous polynomials, has since been extended to the setting of field extensions and to that of…
It is well-known that six-dimensional superconformal field theories can be exploited to unravel interesting features of lower-dimensional theories obtained via compactifications. In this short note we discuss a new application of 6d (2,0)…
The numerical phenomenon of $\pi$ appearing at parameters $c = 1/4$, $c=-3/4$ and $c=-5/4$ in the Mandelbrot set $\mathcal{M}$ has been known for over 30 years. In 2001, the first proof was provided by Aaron Klebanoff for the parameter…
In this work, we significantly expand the web of T-dualities among heterotic NS5-brane theories with eight supercharges. This is achieved by introducing twists involving outer automorphisms of discrete gauge/flavor factors and tensor…
String and M theories seem to require generalizations of usual notions of differential geometry. Such generalizations usually involve extending the tangent bundle to larger vector bundles equipped with various algebroid structures. The most…
We study the problem of improving Dirichlet's theorem of metric Diophantine approximation in the $S$-adic setting. Our approach is based on translation of the problem related to Dirichlet improvability into a dynamical one, and the main…
This paper provides applications of patching to quadratic forms and central simple algebras over function fields of curves over henselian valued fields. In particular, we use a patching approach to reprove and generalize a recent result of…
We characterize the boundedness and compactness of dyadic paraproducts on local dyadic fractional Sobolev spaces, $H^s$. We apply this result to establish the algebra property for $H^s$ when $s \in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ and to deduce the…
We prove a no-dimensional version of Carath\'edory's theorem: given an $n$-element set $P\subset \Re^d$, a point $a \in \conv P$, and an integer $r\le d$, $r \le n$, there is a subset $Q\subset P$ of $r$ elements such that the distance…
We prove Zagier's conjecture regarding the 2-adic valuation of the coefficients $\{b_m\}$ that appear in Ewing and Schober's series formula for the area of the Mandelbrot set in the case where $m\equiv 2 \mod 4$.
In a previous work, (dual)-$\mathfrak{m}$-Rickart lattices were studied. Now, in this paper, we introduce $\mathfrak{m}$-endoregular lattices as those lattices $\mathcal{L}$ such that $\mathfrak{m}$ is a regular monoid, where $\mathfrak{m}$…
The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The $\alpha$-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e.,…
We add fundamental flavors to N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories living on M2 branes probing a Calabi-Yau four-fold singularity. This is dual, in the 't Hooft limit described by IIA string theory, to the introduction of supersymmetric D6…
We propose a way to derive polynomial invariants of closed, orientable $3$-manifolds from Heegaard diagrams via cellularly embedded graphs. Given a Heegaard diagram of an irreducible $3$-manifold $M$, we associate a Heegaard graph $G\subset…
We present an adaptive geometry in which the yardstick co-deforms with space itself, formulated on cellular spaces where length is a count: distances are shortest cell-crossing counts. No cell shape, angles, or embedding are assumed; the…
This article concerns the dimension theory of the graphs of a family of functions which include the well-known 'popcorn function' and its pyramid-like higher-dimensional analogues. We calculate the box and Assouad dimensions of these…
