In this paper we compute the first vertex of a generic Newton polygon in some special cases, and the corresponding Hasse polynomial. This allows us to show the nonexistence of $p$-cyclic coverings of the projective line in characteristic…
A graphs of rank n (homotopy equivalent to a wedge of n circles) without ``separating edges'' has a canonical n-dimensional compact C^1 manifold thickening. This implies that the canonical homomorphism f:Out(F_n)-> GL(n,Z) is trivial in…
In this article we study domino tilings of a family of finite regions called Aztec diamonds. Every such tiling determines a partition of the Aztec diamond into five sub-regions; in the four outer sub-regions, every tile lines up with nearby…
We study the Galois groups of polynomials arising from a compatible family of representations with big orthogonal monodromy. We show that the Galois groups are usually as large as possible given the constraints imposed on them by a…
Our aim is to prove that if T is a complete first order theory, which is not superstable (no knowledge on this notion is required), included in a theory T_1 then for any lambda > |T_1| there are 2^lambda models of T_1 such that for any two…
Let $B_{x}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ denote the Euclidean ball with diameter $[0,x]$, i.e. with with center at $\frac{x}{2}$ and radius $\frac{\left|x\right|}{2}$. We call such a ball a petal. A flower $F$ is any union of petals, i.e.…
To approximate a simple root of an equation we construct families of iterative maps of higher order of convergence. These maps are based on model functions which can be written as an inner product. The main family of maps discussed is…
In this article we study the notion of supermanifolds families, starting from Green's general classification of supermanifolds. The topics studied divide this article into two distinct parts, labelled I and II respectively. Part I concerns…
Given a function field $K$ and $\phi \in K[x]$, we study two finiteness questions related to iteration of $\phi$: whether all but finitely many terms of an orbit of $\phi$ must possess a primitive prime divisor, and whether the Galois…
Exponential families are a particular class of statistical manifolds which are particularly important in statistical inference, and which appear very frequently in statistics. For example, the set of normal distributions, with mean {\mu}…
In this paper we investigate Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorems in ovoidal circle geometries. We prove that in M\"obius planes of even order greater than 2, and ovoidal Laguerre planes of odd order, the largest families of circles which pairwise…
We consider a mathematical model of the breakout game where $\mathbb{R}^2$ is covered by unit square bricks everywhere except in one place. We introduce elementary blocks (particular sets of bricks) in order to describe a family of periodic…
We identify all $[1, \lambda, 8]$-cycle regular $I$-graphs and all $[1, \lambda, 8]$-cycle regular double generalized Petersen graphs. As a consequence we describe linear recognition algorithms for these graph families. Using structural…
We derive three families of orthogonally-equivariant matrix submanifold models for the Grassmann, flag, and Stiefel manifolds respectively. These families are exhaustive -- every orthogonally-equivariant submanifold model of the lowest…
Let k be a regular F_p-algebra, let A = k[x,y]/(x^b - y^a) be the coordinate ring of a planar cuspical curve, and let I = (x,y) be the ideal that defines the cusp point. We give a formula for the relative K-groups K_q(A,I) in terms of the…
I introduced the notions of proper and piecewise proper families of reals to make progress on an open question in the field of models of PA about whether every Scott set is the standard system of a model of PA. A family of reals X is proper…
The concept of scattered polynomials is generalized to those of exceptional scattered sequences which are shown to be the natural algebraic counterpart of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-linear MRD codes. The first infinite family in the first…
Given a strict partial order $\Delta$ on a set $\Lambda$ and an arbitrary ring $R$ with $1\neq 0$, the corresponding McLain group $M(\Delta)$ has been studied in depth. We construct a larger family of McLain groups $G(\Delta)$, where…
This is the first of a series of papers which define and study structures called rootoids, which are groupoids equipped with a representation in the category of Boolean rings and with an associated 1-cocycle. The axioms for rootoids are…
In this paper we introduce geometric tools to study the families of rational vector fields of a given degree over $\mathbb C\mathbb P^1$. To a generic vector field of such a parametric family we associate several geometric objects: a…
