We have identified some necessary conditions for the existence of rigid sphere designs. In particular, we have successfully resolved the conjecture proposed by [Ban87]; Given fixed positive integers t and d, we show that there exist only…

We exhibit invariants of smooth projective algebraic varieties with integer values, whose nonvanishing modulo p prevents the existence of an action without fixed points of certain finite p-groups. The case of base fields of characteristic p…

Let $K$ be a smooth convex set with volume one in $\BBR^d$. Choose $n$ random points in $K$ independently according to the uniform distribution. The convex hull of these points, denoted by $K_n$, is called a {\it random polytope}. We prove…

Let $\mathcal{F}_n$ be the set of unitary polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ that have their roots in $\mathbb{Z}^*$. We note $$ Q(x) := x^n+a_{1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_{n}. $$ We show that any two fixed consecutive coefficients $(a_{j},a_{j+1})$ ($j…

In this paper, we prove that for a threefold of Fano type $X$ and a movable $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier Weil divisor $D$ on $X$, the number of smooth varieties that arise during the running of a $D$-MMP is bounded by $1 + h^1(X, 2D)$.…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. For a finite set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, we define its integer cone as the set $\mathsf{IntCone}(X) := \{ \sum_{x \in X} \lambda_x \cdot x \mid \lambda_x \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} \} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$.…

In a locally finite tiling of n-dim Euclidean space by convex polytopes, each point of the space is either a vertex of at least two tiles, or no vertex at all.

Let $K$ be an unramified $p$-adic local field and let $W$ be the ring of integers of $K$. Let $(X,S)/W$ be a smooth proper scheme together with a normal crossings divisor. We show that there are only finitely many log crystalline $\mathbb…

Blind and Mani, and later Kalai, showed that the face lattice of a simple polytope is determined by its graph, namely its $1$-skeleton. Call a vertex of a $d$-polytope \emph{nonsimple} if the number of edges incident to it is more than $d$.…

We show that, for every prime number p, there exist infinitely many K3 surfaces over Q whose rational points lie dense in the space of p-adic points. We also show that there exists a K3 surface over Q whose rational points lie dense in the…

Given a smooth quasi-projective complex algebraic variety $\mathcal{S}$, we prove that there are only finitely many Hodge-generic non-isotrivial families of smooth projective hypersurfaces over $\mathcal{S}$ of degree $d$ in…

We introduce a collection of convex polytopes associated to a torus-equivariant vector bundle on a smooth complete toric variety. We show that the lattice points in these polytopes correspond to generators for the space of global sections…

For a fixed quadratic irreducible polynomial $f$ with no fixed prime factors at prime arguments, we prove that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $f(p)$ has at most 4 prime factors, improving a classical result of Richert who…

We show that, if a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ bounds a positive definite smooth 4-manifold, then there are finitely many negative definite lattices, up to the stable-equivalence, which can be realized as the intersection form of a…

Let $L$ be a finite $n$-element lattice. We prove that if $L$ has at least $83\cdot 2^{n-8}$ sublattices, then $L$ is planar. For $n>8$, this result is sharp since there is a non-planar lattice with exactly $83\cdot 2^{n-8}-1$ sublattices.

Given an integral $d \times n$ matrix $A$, the well-studied affine semigroup $\mbox{ Sg} (A)=\{ b : Ax=b, \ x \in {\mathbb Z}^n, x \geq 0\}$ can be stratified by the number of lattice points inside the parametric polyhedra $P_A(b)=\{x:…

The Tutte polynomial for matroids is not directly applicable to polymatroids. For instance, deletion-contraction properties do not hold. We construct a polynomial for polymatroids which behaves similarly to the Tutte polynomial of a…

Monotone polytopes, also known as smooth reflexive polytopes, are the polytopes associated to monotone symplectic toric manifolds and Gorenstein Fano toric varieties. We first show that the only monotone polytopes admitting blow-ups at…

Let $\Delta$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. The smallest non-negative integer $i$ such that $k \Delta$ contains no interior lattice points for $1 \leq k \leq n - i$ we call the degree of $\Delta$. We consider lattice polytopes of…

In the first part of the paper, we classify linear integrable (multi-dimensionally consistent) quad-equations on bipartite isoradial quad-graphs in $\mathbb C$, enjoying natural symmetries and the property that the restriction of their…
