We give a lower bound for the degree of a finite cover of a hyperbolic 3-manifold which fibers over the circle, in terms of volume, the diameter of the manifold and other new invariants.
In \cite{Sz13-1} we defined and described the {\it regular infinite or bounded} $p$-gonal prism tilings in $\SLR$ space. We proved that there exist infinitely many regular infinite $p$-gonal face-to-face prism tilings $\cT^i_p(q)$ and…
The density bound for schedulability for general pinwheel instances is $\frac{5}{6}$, but density bounds better than $\frac{5}{6}$ can be shown for cases in which the minimum element $m$ of the instance is large. Several recent works have…
We generate non-lattice packings of spheres in up to 22 dimensions using the geometrical constraint satisfaction algorithm RRR. Our aggregated data suggest that it is easy to double the density of Ball's lower bound, and more tentatively,…
In 1900, as a part of his 18th problem, Hilbert proposed the question to determine the densest congruent (or translative) packings of a given solid, such as the unit ball or the regular tetrahedron of unit edges. Up to now, our knowledge…
The Tur\'an density of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, denoted $\pi(\mathcal{H})$, is the limit of the maximum density of an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph not containing a copy of $\mathcal{H}$, as $n \to \infty$. Denote by…
We consolidate what is currently known about packing densities of 4-point permutations and in the process improve the lower bounds for the packing densities of 1324 and 1342. We also provide rigorous upper bounds for the packing densities…
Uniform dipole magnetic fields from 1.9 to 22.4 kOe were permanently trapped, with high fidelity to the original field, transversely to the axes of hollow Nb3Sn superconducting cylinders. These cylinders were constructed by helically…
We study the optimal packing of short, hard spherocylinders confined to lie tangential to a spherical surface, using simulated annealing and molecular dynamics simulations. For clusters of up to twelve particles, we map out the changes in…
We present a new lower bound on the Bowen-Radin maximal density of radius-R ball packings in the m-dimensional hyperbolic space, improving on the basic covering bound by factor \Omega(m(R+\ln m)) as m tends to infinity. This is done by…
We consider the problem of wrapping three-dimensional solid bodies with a given planar sheet of paper, where the paper may be folded or wrinkled but not stretched or torn. We propose a conjecture characterising the maximumvolume solid…
We consider packings of congruent circles on a square flat torus, i.e., periodic (w.r.t. a square lattice) planar circle packings, with the maximal circle radius. This problem is interesting due to a practical reason - the problem of "super…
Let $x'=S(t,x)$ be a differential equation in the cylinder, linear piecewise in $x$ and with trigonometric coefficients in $t$. In this paper, we provide an upper bound on the number of limit cycles in terms of the number of regions of the…
in this article a multilayer parking system of size n=3 is studied. We prove that the asymptotic limit of the particle density in the center approaches a maximum of 1/2 in higher layers. This means a significant increase of capacity…
We study the Manhattan and Lorentz Mirror models on an infinite cylinder of finite even width $n$, with the mirror probability $p$ satisfying $p<Cn^{-1}$, $C$ a constant. We use the Brauer and Walled Brauer algebras to show that the maximum…
Littlewood asked for the maximum number $N$ of congruent infinite cylinders that can be arranged in $\mathbb{R}^3$ so that every pair touches. We improve upon the proof of the second author that $N \leq 18$ to show that $N \leq 10$.…
We give sharp upper bounds on the injectivity radii of complete hyperbolic surfaces of finite area with some geodesic boundary components. The given bounds are over all such surfaces with any fixed topology; in particular, boundary lengths…
We consider the online problem of packing circles into a square container. A sequence of circles has to be packed one at a time, without knowledge of the following incoming circles and without moving previously packed circles. We present an…
For two-dimensional orientable hyperbolic orbifolds, we show that the radius of a maximal embedded disk is greater or equal to an explicit constant \rho_T, with equality if and only if the orbifold is a sphere with three cone points of…
In $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}^n$ $(n\ge2)$ there are $3$-types of spheres (balls): the sphere, horosphere and hypersphere. If $n=2,3$ we know an universal upper bound of the ball packing densities, where each ball volume…
