A bounded curvature path is a continuously differentiable piece-wise $C^2$ path with bounded absolute curvature connecting two points in the tangent bundle of a surface. These paths have been widely considered in computer science and…

Universal cycles, such as De Bruijn cycles, are cyclic sequences of symbols that represent every combinatorial object from some family exactly once as a consecutive subsequence. Graph universal cycles are a graph analogue of universal…

In this article, the standard correspondence between the ideal class group of a quadratic number field and the equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of given discriminant is generalized to any base number field of narrow class…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

The association of algebraic objects to forms has had many important applications in number theory. Gauss, over two centuries ago, studied quadratic rings and ideals associated to binary quadratic forms, and found that ideal classes of…

Basic notions of Dirac theory of constrained systems have their analogs in differential geometry. Combination of the two approaches gives more clear understanding of both classical and quantum mechanics, when we deal with a model with…

A set of vertices of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves it is the identity. The minimal size of such sets, if they exist, is the distinguishing cost. The distinguishing costs of vertex transitive cubic graphs…

This paper gives a complete classification of conics in $PE_2(\mathbb{R})$. The classification has been made earlier (Reveruk [5]), but it showed to be incomplete and not possible to cite and use in further studies of properties of conics,…

One distinguishing feature of rational curves is that they have algebraic parameterizations. Arc spaces are a way of describing approximations to parameterizations of all curves in some fixed space. Playing on these descriptions, this paper…

Postulating that spacetime is discrete, we assume that physical space is described by a 3-dimensional cubic lattice.The corresponding symmetry group of rotations has order 24 and motivates the introduction of a cubic shaped graph with 27…

We study bases of the lattice generated by the cycles of an undirected graph, defined as the integer linear combinations of the 0/1-incidence vectors of cycles. We prove structural results for this lattice, including explicit formulas for…

We study a counting version of Cycle Double Cover Conjecture. We discuss why it is more interesting to count circuits (i.e., graphs isomorphic to $C_k$ for some $k$) instead of cycles (graphs with all degrees even). We give an…

A {\em cyclic graph} is a graph with at each vertex a cyclic order of the edges incident with it specified. We characterize which real-valued functions on the collection of cubic cyclic graphs are partition functions of a real vertex model…

Irreducible representations of both Leavitt and Cohn path algebras of an arbitrary digraph with coefficients in a commutative field is classified. They are constructed in several ways using both infinite paths on the right as well as direct…

Spine spaces can be considered as fragments of a projective Grassmann space. We prove that the structure of lines together with binary coplanarity relation, as well as with binary relation of being in one pencil of lines, is a sufficient…

We study isometric representations of product systems of correspondences over the semigroup $\mathbb{N}^k$ which are minimal dilations of finite dimensional, fully coisometric representations. We show the existence of a unique minimal…

We study the birational geometry of irreducible holomorphic symplectic varieties arising as varieties of lines of general cubic fourfolds containing a cubic scroll. We compute the ample and moving cones, and exhibit a birational…

We study the 2-adic version of the ring $C^*$-algebra of the integers. First, we work out the precise relation between the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$ and our 2-adic ring $C^*$-algebra in terms of representations. Secondly, we prove a 2-adic…

The cycle space of a graph corresponds to the kernel of an incidence matrix. We investigate an analogous subspace for digraphs. In the case of digraphs of graphs, where every edge is replaced by two oppositely directed arcs, we give a…

It is proved that on a smooth algebraic variety, fibered into cubic surfaces over the projective line and sufficiently ``twisted'' over the base, there is only one pencil of rational surfaces -- that is, this very pencil of cubics. In…
