In this work we present a theorem regarding two convex bodies $K_1, K_2\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq 3$, and two families of sections of them, given by two families of tangent planes of two spheres $S_i\subset \textrm{int}\textrm{ } K_i$,…
Let $f(n)$ denote the number of 1-shell totally symmetric plane partitions of weight $n$. Recently, Hirschhorn and Sellers, Yao, and Xia established a number of congruences modulo 2 and 5, 4 and 8, and 25 for $f(n)$, respectively. In this…
Two closely related classes of topological spaces are fences and fans. A fence is a compact metric space whose components are either arcs or singletons. A fan is a continuum formed by joining arcs at a common vertex, in such a way that…
The category of (abstract) fans is to the category of monoids what the category of schemes is to the category of rings: a fan is obtained by gluing spectra of monoids along open embeddings. Here we study the basic algebraic geometry of…
We describe an explicit semi-algebraic partition for the complement of a real hyperplane arrangement such that each piece is contractible and so that the pieces form a basis of Borel-Moore homology. We also give an explicit correspondence…
Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a rotation and reflection free self-similar set satisfying the strong separation condition, with dimension $\dim K = s > 1$. Intersecting $K$ with translates of a fixed line, one can study the $(s -…
We prove a generalization of the hyperplane inequality for intersection bodies, where volume is replaced by an arbitrary measure $\mu$ with even continuous density and sections are of arbitrary dimension $n-k,\ 1\le k <n.$ If $K$ is a…
We prove a generalization of a result of Peres and Schlag on the dimensions of certain exceptional sets of projections and then apply it to a geometric problem.
In each of the three projective planes coordinatised by the Knuth's binary semifield $\mathbb{K}_n$ of order $2^n$ and two of its Knuth derivatives, we exhibit a new family of infinitely many translation hyperovals. In particular, when…
Suppose that a polarised K\"ahler manifold $(X,L)$ admits an extremal metric $\omega$. We prove that there exists a sequence of K\"ahler metrics $\{ \omega_k \}_k$, converging to $\omega$ as $k \to \infty$, each of which satisfies the…
We give a simple proof of a nice formula for the means and covariances of the diagonal sums of a uniformly random boxed plane parition.
In this paper we prove that the nonzero elements of a finite field with odd characteristic can be partitioned into pairs with prescribed difference (maybe, with some alternatives) in each pair. The algebraic and topological approaches to…
We use the measurable Hall's theorem due to Cie\'sla and Sabok to prove that (i) if two measurable sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of the same measure are bounded remainder sets with respect to a given irrational $d$-dimensional vector…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a measure to be an extreme point of the set of measures (on an abstract measurable space) with prescribed generalized moments are given, as well as an application to extremal problems over such moment…
A set of n segments in the plane may form a Euclidean TSP tour, a tree, or a matching, among others. Optimal TSP tours as well as minimum spanning trees and perfect matchings have no crossing segments, but several heuristics and…
A $\sqrt{n}$ estimate in the hyperplane problem with arbitrary measures has recently been proved in \cite{K3}. In this note we present analogs of this result for sections of lower dimensions and in the complex case. We deduce these…
The aim of this note is to give a sufficient condition for pairs of functions to have a convex separator when the underlying structure is a Cartan--Hadamard manifold, or more generally: a reduced Birkhoff--Beatley system. Some exotic…
We study the space of complete Riemannian metrics of nonnegative curvature on the plane equipped with the C^k topology. If k is infinite, we show that the space is homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space. For any k we prove that the…
We prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part…
We investigate the distributional extension of the $k$-plane transform in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and of related operators. We parameterize the $k$-plane domain as the Cartesian product of the Stiefel manifold of orthonormal $k$-frames in…
