In this note we study four dimensional theories with N=3 superconformal symmetry, that do not also have N=4 supersymmetry. No examples of such theories are known, but their existence is also not ruled out. We analyze several properties that…
Known examples of unitary relativistic scale but not conformal-invariant field theories (SFTs) can be embedded into conventional conformal field theories (CFTs). We show that any SFT which is a subsector of a unitary CFT is a free theory.…
In this paper we study some properties of quadrilaterals concerning concurrence of lines under few to none restrictive conditions, and obtain an extension of a transversal theorem from triangles to quadrilaterals.
A polygon $P$ is called a reptile, if it can be decomposed into $k\ge 2$ nonoverlapping and congruent polygons similar to $P$. We prove that if a cyclic quadrilateral is a reptile, then it is a trapezoid. Comparing with results of U. Betke…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a contractible, non-separating and noncontractible separating Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of polyhedral maps on surfaces. In particular, we show the existence of…
We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…
Heteroclinic cycles are sequences of equilibria along with trajectories that connect them in a cyclic manner. We investigate a class of robust heteroclinic cycles that does not satisfy the usual condition that all connections between…
We generalise an argument of Leader, Russell, and Walters to show that almost all sets of d + 2 points on the (d - 1)-sphere S^{d-1} are not contained in a transitive set in some R^n.
In light of Lov\'{a}sz's longstanding question on the existence of Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs, this paper considers a natural variant: what if vertex-transitivity is relaxed, yet a high degree of symmetry--specifically…
This paper investigated the problem of embedding a simple Hamiltonian Cycle with n vertices on n points inside a simple polygon. This problem seeks to embed a straight-line cycle (without bends), which does not intersect either itself or…
While every group is isomorphic to a transitive group of permutations, the analogous property fails for inverse semigroups: not all inverse semigroups are isomorphic to transitive inverse semigroups of one-to-one partial transformations of…
Let $M$ be a closed smooth manifold and let $f:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism. $C^1$-generically, a continuum-wise expansive satisfies Axiom A without cycles. Moreover, there is a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ such that it is not…
The main aim of this paper is to show that a cyclic cover of $\mathbb{P}^n$ branched along a very general divisor of degree $d$ is not stably rational provided that $n \ge 3$ and $d \ge n+1$. This generalizes the result of…
We construct examples of embedded flexible cross-polytopes in the spheres of all dimensions. These examples are interesting from two points of view. First, in dimensions 4 and higher, they are the first examples of embedded flexible…
We provide a new proof of the elementary geometric theorem on the existence and uniqueness of cyclic polygons with prescribed side lengths. The proof is based on a variational principle involving the central angles of the polygon as…
Groups defined by presentations for which the components of the corresponding star graph are the incidence graphs of generalized polygons are of interest as they are small cancellation groups that - via results of Edjvet and Vdovina - are…
In this paper, we study skew frame starters, which are strong frame starters that satisfy an additional "skew" property. We prove three new non-existence results for cyclic skew frame starters of certain types. We also construct several…
We provide a classification of compact Euclidean submanifolds $M^n\subset{\mathbb{R}}^{n+2}$ with nonnegative sectional curvature, for $n\ge 3$. The classification is in terms of the induced metric (including the diffeomorphism…
The Miquel-Steiner theorem for a quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane states that the circumcircles of the four component triangles intersect at a single point, which now is called the Miquel-Steiner point of the quadrilateral. In elliptic…
A "shadow" of a subset $S$ of Euclidean space is an orthogonal projection of $S$ into one of the coordinate hyperplanes. In this paper we show that it is not possible for all three shadows of a cycle (i.e., a simple closed curve) in…
