In this note we construct infinitely many distinct simply connected Stein fillings of a certain infinite family of contact 3--manifolds.

We present methods of constructing examples of quandles of order 3n, where n is greater or equal to 3. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the constructed examples to be (i) connected (ii) group (conjugate) (iii) involutory and (iv)…

We begin the study of collections of three blocks which can occur in a symmetric configuration with block size 3, $v_3$. Formulae are derived for the number of occurrences of these and it is shown that the triangle, i.e. abf, ace, bcd is a…

We show that for any $k$ at least $6$ and $g$ sufficiently large, the mapping class group of a surface of genus $g$ can be generated by three elements of order $k$. We also show that this can be done with four elements of order $5$. We…

Let $n$ be an integer such that $n = 5$ or $n \geq 7$. In this article, we introduce a recipe for a certain infinite family of non-singular plane curves of degree $n$ which violate the local-global principle. Moreover, each family contains…

The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals of Type $a^2bc$ are classified as $3$ classes: a sequence of two-parameter families of $2$-layer earth map tilings with $2n$ $(n\ge3)$ tiles, a one-parameter family of…

We compute the chains associated to the left-invariant CR structures on the three-sphere. These structures are characterized by a single real modulus $a$. For the standard structure $a=1$, the chains are well-known and are closed curves. We…

We show that general triple planes with p_g=q=0 belong to at most 12 families, that we call surfaces of type I,..., XII, and we prove that the corresponding Tschirnhausen bundle is direct sum of two line bundles in cases I, II, III, whereas…

We obtain the most general type B 3-fold supersymmetry by solving directly the intertwining relation. We then show that it is a necessary and sufficient condition for a second-order linear differential operator to have three linearly…

The structure of three pattern classes Av(2143, 4321), Av(2143, 4312) and Av(1324, 4312) is determined using the machinery of monotone grid classes. This allows the permutations in these classes to be described in terms of simple diagrams…

Five equivalence classes had been found for systems of two second-order ordinary differential equations, transformable to linear equations (linearizable systems) by a change of variables. An "optimal (or simplest) canonical form" of linear…

We construct a countable infinite graph G that does not contain cycles of length four having the property that the sequence of graphs $G_n$ induced by the first $n$ vertices has minimum degree $\delta(G_n)> n^{\sqrt{2}-1+o(1)}$.

The derived category of a Gorenstein triangular matrix algebra $A$ admits an unbounded ladder, which is of period $3$ if $A = T_2(B)$. Also, a left recollement of triangulated categories with Serre functors sits in a ladder of period $1$;…

We exhibit a class of integer spin systems whose free energy can be written in term of an absolutely convergent series at any temperature. This class includes spin systems on $\Z^d$ interacting through infinite range pair potential…

Simple-minded systems in stable module categories are defined by orthogonality and generating properties so that the images of the simple modules under a stable equivalence form such a system. Simple-minded systems are shown to be invariant…

We compute the integral cohomology rings of a family of 3-groups. As a corollary, we exhibit, for each n greater than or equal to 5, a pair of groups of order 3^n whose integral cohomology rings are isomorphic.

A Steiner quadruple system of order v is a 3-(v,4,1) design, and will be denoted SQS(v). Using the classification of finite 2-transitive permutation groups all SQS(v) with a flag-transitive automorphism group are completely classified, thus…

For all finite fields of order up to $2^{30}$, we computationally prove that there are no planar monomials besides the ones already known.

We have performed a complete enumeration of non-isotopic triples of mutually orthogonal $k\times n$ Latin rectangles for $k\leq n \leq 7$. Here we will present a census of such triples, classified by various properties, including the order…

For each $n\geqslant3$, we construct an uncountable family of models of the crystal of the basic $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_n)$-module. These models are all based on partitions, and include the usual $n$-regular and $n$-restricted models, as…
