Methods were developed in Ref. [1] for constructing reference metrics (and from them differentiable structures) on three-dimensional manifolds with topologies specified by suitable triangulations. This note generalizes those methods by…

We construct explicitly an infinite family of Ramanujan graphs which are bipartite and biregular. Our construction starts with the Bruhat-Tits building of an inner form of $SU_3(\mathbb Q_p)$. To make the graphs finite, we take successive…

For any prime p, we construct, and simultaneously count, all of the complex Specht modules in a given p-block of the symmetric group which remain irreducible when reduced modulo p. We call the Specht modules with this property p-irreducible…

We show here that the refined theorems for both lecture hall partitions and anti-lecture hall compositions can be obtained as straightforward consequences of two q-Chu Vandermonde identities, once an appropriate recurrence is derived. We…

A formal system called cologic is proposed for the study of compacta. A counterpart of countable model theory is developed for this system, and it is applied to model theory of the pseudo-arc.

This work introduces author's theory of Bruhat-Tits buildings over higher dimensional local fields. The theory is illustrated with the buildings for PGL(2) and PGL(3) for one- and two-dimensional local fields.

Affine Bruhat--Tits buildings are geometric spaces extracting the combinatorics of algebraic groups. The building of $\mathrm{PGL}$ parametrizes flags of subspaces/lattices in or, equivalently, norms on a fixed finite-dimensional vector…

We discuss the construction of finite element spaces of differential forms which satisfy the crucial assumptions of the finite element exterior calculus, namely that they can be assembled into subcomplexes of the de Rham complex which admit…

We present two uncountable families of finitely generated residually finite groups all having the same profinite completion. One consists of soluble groups, the other of branch groups.

In areas as diverse as contemporary art, play structures, climbing equipment, and modular construction toys, we see the presence of building block-like polyhedral complexes, which are generalizations of the pieces in the game Tetris. We…

We count tilings of the $n \times m$ rectangular grid, cylinder, and torus with arbitrary tile sets up to arbitrary symmetries of the square and rectangle, along with cyclic shifting of rows and columns. This provides a unifying framework…

We present the first steps of a predicative reconstruction of the constructive Bishop-Cheng measure theory. Working in a semi-formal elaboration of Bishop's set theory and invoking the notion of a set-indexed family of subsets (of a given…

Let GF denote the rational points of a semisimple group G over a non-archimedean local field F, with Bruhat-Tits building X. This paper contains five main results. We prove a convergence theorem for sequences of parahoric subgroups of GF in…

We introduce the notion of compactifiable classes -- these are classes of metrizable compact spaces that can be up to homeomorphic copies ``disjointly combined'' into one metrizable compact space. This is witnessed by so-called compact…

A family of algebraic surfaces with many nondegenerate real singularities is introduced with the help of a construction, which has been used in previous works for the generation of substitution tilings.

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

Covering space theory is used to construct new examples of buildings.

We describe some planar operads build from the higher Bruhat orders.

We show that separability and second-countability are first-order properties among topological spaces definable in o-minimal expansions of $(\mathbb{R},<)$. We do so by introducing first-order characterizations -- definable separability and…

We present a comprehensive survey of constructions of the real numbers (from either the rationals or the integers) in a unified fashion, thus providing an overview of most (if not all) known constructions ranging from the earliest attempts…
