We prove a basic property of continuous multilinear mappings between topological vector spaces, from which we derive an easy proof of the fact that a multilinear mapping (and a polynomial) between topological vector spaces is weakly…

We develop a systematic study of the interior Sobolev regularity of weak solutions to the mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace equations. To be precise, we show that the weak solution $u$ belongs to $W^{2, p}_\mathrm{loc}$ and even $W^{2,…

We prove that the maximal graph-density of an independent set in a Penrose P3 tiling considered as a planar non-directed graph is equal to $(57 - 25 \sqrt{5})/2 \approx 0.54915$ despite the fact that the graph is bipartite. Accordingly, the…

We prove that n-variable logics do not have the weak Beth definability property, for all n greater than 2. This was known for n=3 (Ildik\'o Sain and Andr\'as Simon), and for n greater than 4 (Ian Hodkinson). Neither of the previous proofs…

Mukai proved that most prime Fano fourfolds of degree 10 and index 2 are contained in a Grassmannian G(2,5). They are all unirational and some are rational, as remarked by Roth in 1949. We show that their middle cohomology is of K3 type and…

In 1985 Hopcroft, Joseph and Whitesides showed it is NP-complete to decide whether a carpenter's ruler with segments of given positive lengths can be folded into a line of at most a given length, such that the folded hinges alternate…

In this article we prove the following theorems about weak approximation of smooth cubic hypersurfaces and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4 defined over global fields. (1) For cubic hypersurfaces defined over global function fields, if there…

Several articles deal with tilings with squares and dominoes on 2-dimensional boards, but only a few on boards in 3-dimensional space. We examine a tiling problem with colored cubes and bricks of $(2\times2\times n)$-board in three…

Using a method developped in [1] and [2], we prove the existence of weak non trivial solutions to fourth order elliptic equations with singularities and with critical Sobolev growth.

We obtain structural results on translational tilings of periodic functions in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by finite tiles. In particular, we show that any level one tiling of a periodic set in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ must be weakly periodic (the disjoint union…

An irregular vertex in a tiling by polygons is a vertex of one tile and belongs to the interior of an edge of another tile. In this paper we show that for any integer $k\geq 3$, there exists a normal tiling of the Euclidean plane by convex…

A new construction is presented of scalar-flat Kaehler metrics on non-minimal ruled surfaces. The method is based on the resolution of singularities of orbifold ruled surfaces which are closely related to rank-2 parabolically stable…

It is broadly known that any parallelepiped tiles space by translating copies of itself along its edges. In earlier work relating to higher-dimensional sandpile groups, the second author discovered a novel construction which fragments the…

We show that a square-tiling of a $p\times q$ rectangle, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime integers, has at least $\log_2p$ squares. If $q>p$ we construct a square-tiling with less than $q/p+C\log p$ squares of integer size, for some…

Let $G$ be a graph of girth $g$ and circumference $c.$ A vertex $v$ of $G$ is called weakly pancyclic if $v$ lies on an $\ell$-cycle for every integer $\ell$ with $g\le \ell\le c.$ We prove that if $G$ is a nonbipartite graph of order $n\ge…

We study tilings of the plane that combine strong properties of different nature: combinatorial and algorithmic. We prove existence of a tile set that accepts only quasiperiodic and non-recursive tilings. Our construction is based on the…

A point $p\in\mathbb{P}^N$ of a projective space is $h$-identifiable, with respect to a variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$, if it can be written as linear combination of $h$ elements of $X$ in a unique way. Identifiability is implied by…

In this note we improve our upper bound given earlier by showing that every 9-fold covering of a point set in the space by finitely many translates of an octant decomposes into two coverings, and our lower bound by a construction for a…

Local Irregularity Conjecture states that every simple connected graph, except special cacti, can be decomposed into at most three locally irregular graphs, i.e., graphs in which adjacent vertices have different degrees. The connected…

In this paper, an update on the classification of smooth weak Fano threefolds with Picard number two and small anti-canonical maps is given. Geometric constructions are provided for previously open numerical cases by blowing up certain…
