A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-critical graph if $G$ is not $(k -1)$-colorable but $G-e$ is $(k-1)$-colorable for every $e\in E(G)$. In this paper, we construct a family of 4-critical planar graphs with $n$ vertices and $\frac{7n-13}{3}$ edges.…
We show, in this second part, that the maximal number of singular points of a quartic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3_K$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 2 is at most 14, and that, if we have 14…
We prove discrete Helly-type theorems for pseudohalfplanes, which extend recent results of Jensen, Joshi and Ray about halfplanes. Among others we show that given a family of pseudohalfplanes $\cal H$ and a set of points $P$, if every…
We call every complex connected (1,1)-dimensional supermanifold a super Riemann surface and construct versal super families of compact ones, where the base spaces are allowed to be certain ringed spaces including all complex supermanifolds.…
It is expected that a totally invariant divisor of a non-isomorphic endomorphism of the complex projective space is a union of hyperplanes. In this paper, we compute an upper bound for the degree of such a divisor. As a consequence, we…
This article describes a unirationality construction for general low degree complete intersections in projective space which is based on a variety of highly tangent lines. Applied to hypersurfaces, this implies that a general hypersurface…
We determine all complete projective special real surfaces. By the supergravity r-map, they give rise to complete projective special K\"ahler manifolds of dimension 6, which are distinguished by the image of their scalar curvature function.…
This paper proves the following results: Besides parallelograms and centrally symmetric hexagons, there is no other convex domain which can form a two-, three- or four-fold lattice tiling in the Euclidean plane. If a centrally symmetric…
We study the topic of "extremal" planar graphs, defining $\mathrm{ex_{_{\mathcal{P}}}}(n,H)$ to be the maximum number of edges possible in a planar graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a given graph $H$ as a subgraph. In…
In this article, the partial plane spreads in $PG(6,2)$ of maximum possible size $17$ and of size $16$ are classified. Based on this result, we obtain the classification of the following closely related combinatorial objects: Vector space…
We study the sets of planes in an even dimensional real vector space $V$ which are simultaneously stabilised by a pair of complex structures on $V$. We completely describe these sets of planes for pairs of orthogonal complex structures.…
Compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds that have parallel Weyl tensor without being conformally flat or locally symmetric are known to exist in infinitely many dimensions greater than 4. We prove some general topological properties of such…
For any integer $n\geq 2$, we construct an infinite family of Stein fillable contact $(4n-1)$-manifolds each of which admits infinitely many pairwise homotopy inequivalent Stein fillings.
In this paper we consider the number of Hamilton cycles in planar cubic graphs of high cyclic edge-connectivity, answering two questions raised by Chia and Thomassen ("On the number of longest and almost longest cycles in cubic graphs", Ars…
We prove that a component of the closure of the set of star points on a hypersurface X of degree d>2 in N-dimensional projective space is linear. Afterwards, we focus on the case where the component is of maximal dimension N-2 and the case…
We relate the maximum semidefinite and linear extension complexity of a family of polytopes to the cardinality of this family and the minimum pairwise Hausdorff distance of its members. This result directly implies a known lower bound on…
All families of sextic surfaces with the maximal number of isolated triple points are found.
We describe the space of projective planes of complex skew-symmetric matrices of order six and constant rank four. We prove that it has four connected components, all of dimension 26 and homogeneous under the action of PGL_6.
In a projective plane PG(2,K) defined over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0, we give a complete classification of 3-nets realizing a finite group. An infinite family, due to Yuzvinsky, arises from plane cubics and…
In this article we address the length of perverse sheaves arising as direct images of rank one local systems on complements of hyperplane arrangements. In the case of a cone over an essential line arrangement with at most triple points, we…
