Let $p$ be a prime integer and $n,i$ be positive integers such that \linebreak $S=\{-1, \ \theta, \ \mu_i=1+\theta+... + \theta^{i-1} \ \mid 1 < i < \frac{p^n}{2}, \ gcd(p^n,i)=1 \}$ generates the group of units of $\mathbb{Z}[\theta],$…

Any superrosy division ring (i.e. a division ring equipped with an abstract notion of rank) is shown to be centrally finite. Furthermore, division rings satisfying a generalized chain condition on definable subgroups are studied. In…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane in general position. We show that at least $\lfloor n/3\rfloor$ plane spanning trees can be packed into the complete geometric graph on $P$. This improves the previous best known lower bound…

An ordinary circle of a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane is defined as a circle that contains exactly three points of $P$. We show that if $P$ is not contained in a line or a circle, then $P$ spans at least $\frac{1}{4}n^2 - O(n)$…

We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for units in real quadratic fields. Given such a nontrivial unit, for a rational prime p which is inert in the field the maximal order of the unit modulo p is p+1. An extension of…

We show that the maximum number of pairwise non-overlapping $k$-rich lenses (lenses formed by at least $k$ circles) in an arrangement of $n$ circles in the plane is $O\left(\frac{n^{3/2}\log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{5/2}} + \frac{n}{k} \right)$, and…

In this article the study of the Prime Graph Question for the integral group ring of almost simple groups which have an order divisible by exactly $4$ different primes is continued. We provide more details on the recently developed "lattice…

We present an algebraic structure in modules over integer rings with cardinality prime powers, which allows to define bases. With such structure, we prove a similar version for the basis extension theorem of linear algebra over fields.…

It is proved that the centre Z of the simply connected quantised universal enveloping algebra over C, U_{\e,P}(sl_n), \e a primitive l-th root of unity, l an odd integer >1, has a rational field of fractions. Furthermore it is proved that…

This paper introduces and studies a new class of rings called {\it $U\sqrt{\Delta}$-rings}. A ring $R$ is $U\sqrt{\Delta}$ if every non-unit element can be written as the product of a unit and an element from $\sqrt{\Delta(R)}$, where…

Traditional origami structures can be continuously deformed back to a flat sheet of paper, while traditional kirigami requires glue or seams in order to maintain its rigidity. In the former, non-trivial geometry can be created through…

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces, we classify all possibilities for finite simple groups acting faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 in such a way that all non-trivial elements have at most three fixed…

We define the \emph{visual complexity} of a plane graph drawing to be the number of basic geometric objects needed to represent all its edges. In particular, one object may represent multiple edges (e.g., one needs only one line segment to…

Suppose $4|n$, $n\geq 8$, $F=F_n=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n+\bar{\zeta}_n)$, and there is one prime $\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{p}_n$ above $2$ in $F_n$. We study amalgam presentations for $\operatorname{PU_{2}}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n, 1/2])$ and…

We consider a purely algebraic result. Then given a circle or cyclic group of prime order action on a manifold, we will use it to estimate the lower bound of the number of fixed points. We also give an obstruction to the existence of…

This paper addresses the problem of finding minimum forcing sets in origami. The origami material folds flat along straight lines called creases that can be labeled as mountains or valleys. A forcing set is a subset of creases that force…

We develop a theoretical framework for rigid origami, and show how this framework can be used to connect rigid origami and results from cognate areas, such as the rigidity theory, graph theory, linkage folding and computer science. First,…

Self-folding origami, structures that are engineered flat to fold into targeted, three-dimensional shapes, have many potential engineering applications. Though significant effort in recent years has been devoted to designing fold patterns…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…

Origami as a deployable structure offers the unique advantage of achieving compact stowage via flat-folding while forming a well-defined surface composed of rigid panels upon deployment. However, since origami consists of flat facets, it is…
