We present a self-contained short proof of the seminal result of Dillencourt (SoCG 1987 and DCG 1990) that Delaunay triangulations, of planar point sets in general position, are 1-tough. An important implication of this result is that…

We define a plane curve to be threadable if it can rigidly pass through a point-hole in a line L without otherwise touching L. Threadable curves are in a sense generalizations of monotone curves. We have two main results. The first is a…

We prove that if K is an infinite stable field whose generic type has weight 1 then K is separably closed. We also obtain partial results when the generic of K has finite weight and when K is strongly stable.

Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Let $End(V)$ denote the $K$-algebra consisting of all $K$-linear transformations from $V$ to $V$. We consider a pair $A,A^* \in End(V)$ that…

The triangular ratio metric is studied in a domain $G\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq2$. Several sharp bounds are proven for this metric, especially, in the case where the domain is the unit disk of the complex plane. The results are applied…

Let $D$ be a commutative domain with field of fractions $K$ and let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra such that $A \cap K = D$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials on $A$ with coefficients in $K$ is ${\rm Int}_K(A) = \{f \in K[X] \mid…

Following Weaver we study generalized differential operators, called (metric) derivations, and their linear algebraic properties. In particular, for k = 1, 2 we show that measures on k-dimensional Euclidean space that induce rank-k modules…

A triangle $\{a(n,k)\}_{0\le k\le n}$ of nonnegative numbers is LC-positive if for each $r$, the sequence of polynomials $\sum_{k=r}^{n}a(n,k)q^k$ is $q$-log-concave. It is double LC-positive if both triangles $\{a(n,k)\}$ and…

Let $K$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{R}$. The theory of $\mathbb{R}$ viewed as an ordered $K$-vector space and expanded by a predicate for $\mathbb{Z}$ is decidable if and only if $K$ is a real quadratic field.

We present a quantitative geometric rigidity estimate in dimensions $d=2,3$ generalizing the celebrated result by Friesecke, James, and M\"uller to the setting of variable domains. Loosely speaking, we show that for each $y \in…

Suslin proved that for an extension K/k of algebraically closed fields the induced maps K_m(k)[n] --> K_m(K)[n] and K_m(k)/n ---> K_m(K)/n for the higher K-groups are isomorphisms, where A[n] is the subgroup of n-torsion in an abelien…

In this paper we investigate locally nilpotent derivations on the polynomial algebra in three variables over a field of characteristic zero. We introduce an iterating construction giving all locally nilpotent derivations of rank $2$. This…

This paper studies the stability of tensor ranks under field extensions. Our main contributions are fourfold: (1) We prove that the analytic rank is stable under field extensions. (2) We establish the equivalence between the partition rank…

We prove that if a complete Riemannian surface $(\Sigma,d_\Sigma)$ is quasi-isometric to some bounded degree graph $G$, then $\Sigma$ admits a triangulation whose 1-skeleton is quasi-isometric to it when equipped with the simplicial metric.…

Let K be a p-adic field and let F and G be two formal groups over O_K. We prove that if F and G have infinitely many torsion points in common, then F=G. This follows from a rigidity result: any bounded power series that sends infinitely…

Let $v$ be a rank-one discrete valuation of the field $k((\X))$. We know, after \cite{Bri2}, that if $n=2$ then the dimension of $v$ is 1 and if $v$ is the usual order function over $k((\X))$ its dimension is $n-1$. In this paper we prove…

We define a dimension for a triangulated category. We prove a representabilityTheorem for a certain class of functors on finite dimensional triangulatedcategories. We study the dimension of the boundedderived category of an algebra or a…

Two surfaces are "sticky" if breaking their mutual contact requires a finite tensile force. At low fractal dimensions D, there is consensus stickiness does not depend on the upper truncation frequency of roughness spectrum (or…

An object in the bounded derived category D^b(Coh(X)) of coherent sheaves on a complex projective K3 surface X is spherical if it is rigid and simple. Although spherical objects form only a discrete set in the moduli stack of complexes,…

In this note, we will prove that a finite dimensional Lie algebra $L$ of characteristic zero, admitting an abelian algebra of derivations $D\leq Der(L)$ with the property $$ L^n\subseteq \sum_{d\in D}d(L) $$ for some $n\geq 1$, is…
