Let $G$ be a graph embedded on a closed surface. We call $G$ a \emph{polyhedral embedding} if all facial walks are cycles, and any two of them are either disjoint or intersect in a single vertex or a single edge. In this paper, we present a…
An abstract polytope is \emph{flat} if every facet is incident on every vertex. In this paper, we prove that no chiral polytope has flat finite regular facets and finite regular vertex-figures. We then determine the three smallest non-flat…
A tetrahedron is called a path tetrahedron, if it has three mutually orthogonal edges that do not intersect at a single point. A tetrahedron is called a 4-ball tetrahedron, if there exists a sphere tangent to all its edges. We derive…
Given a chiral d-polytope K with regular facets, we describe a construction for a chiral (d + 1)-polytope P with facets isomorphic to K. Furthermore, P is finite whenever K is finite. We provide explicit examples of chiral 4-polytopes…
A finite $p$-group $G$ is called \textit{powerful} if either $p$ is odd and $[G,G]\subseteq G^p$ or $p=2$ and $[G,G]\subseteq G^4$. A {\em{cover}} for a group is a collection of subgroups whose union is equal to the entire group. We will…
A toroidal group is a generalization of a complex torus, and is obtained as the quotient of the complex Euclidean space $\mathbb{C}^n$ by a discrete subgroup. Toroidal groups with finite-dimensional cohomology, called theta toroidal groups,…
In this paper we find the tight closure of powers of parameter ideals of certain diagonal hypersurface rings. In many cases the associated graded ring with respect to tight closure filtration turns out to be Cohen-Macaulay. This helps us…
On a regular tetrahedron in spherical space there exist the finite number of simple closed geodesics. For any pair of coprime integers $(p,q)$ it was found the numbers $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ depending on $p$, $q$ and satisfying the…
Let $\Gamma$ be an antipodal distance-regular graph with diameter $4$ and eigenvalues $\theta_0>\theta_1>\theta_2>\theta_3>\theta_4$. Then $\Gamma$ is tight in the sense of Juri\v{s}i\'{c}, Koolen, and Terwilliger [12] whenever $\Gamma$ is…
A family of closed manifolds is called cohomologically rigid if a cohomology ring isomorphism implies a diffeomorphism for any two manifolds in the family. We establish cohomological rigidity for large families of 3-dimensional and…
We prove a rigidity theorem for the Poisson automorphisms of the function fields of tori with quadratic Poisson structures over fields of characteristic 0. It gives an effective method for classifying the full Poisson automorphism groups of…
We study incidence geometries that are thin and residually connected. These geometries generalise abstract polytopes. In this generalised setting, guided by the ideas from the polytopes theory, we introduce the concept of chirality, a…
A polyhedron in Euclidean 3-space is called a regular polyhedron of index 2 if it is combinatorially regular and its geometric symmetry group has index 2 in its combinatorial automorphism group; thus its automorphism group is…
For each positive integer n, we define a polynomial in the variables z_1,...,z_n with coefficients in the ring $\mathbb{Q}[q,t,r]$ of polynomial functions of three parameters q, t, r. These polynomials naturally arise in the context of…
Chiral multifold fermions are quasi-particles that appear only in chiral crystals such as transition metal silicides in the cubic B20 structure (i.e., the CoSi family), and they may show exotic physical properties. Here we study the…
When the number of non-triangular faces adjacent to a vertex $v$ is less than or equal to three, the vertex $v$ will be called (\emph{combinatorially}) \emph{rigid}. We study the number of rigid vertices and suggest a conjecture on a…
By a covering of a group G we mean an epimorphism from a group F to G. Introducing the notion of strong covering as a covering pi:F-->G such that every automorphism of G is a projection via pi of an automorphism of F, the main aim of this…
We consider quasicomplexes of pseudodifferential operators on a smooth compact manifold without boundary. To each quasicomplex we associate a complex of symbols. The quasicomplex is elliptic if this symbol complex is exact away from the…
In this paper we prove criteria for a nonnormal toric variety to be flexible, to be rigid and to be almost rigid. For rigid and almost rigid toric varieties we describe the automorphism group explicitly.
A cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd primes. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Here we…
