Polyhedra are generically rigid, but can be made to flex under certain symmetry conditions. We generalise Raoul Bricard's 1897 method for making flexible octahedra to construct an infinite family of flexible polyhedra with…

Let $S_n$ denote a symmetric group, $\chi$ an irreducible character of $S_n$, and $g\in S_n$ an element which decomposes into $k$ disjoint cycles, where $1$-cycles are included. Then $|\chi(g)|\le k!$, and this upper bound is sharp for…

Cyclic sieving is a well-known phenomenon where certain interesting polynomials, especially $q$-analogues, have useful interpretations related to actions and representations of the cyclic group. We propose a definition of sieving for an…

A finite group R is a CI-group if, whenever S and T are subsets of R with the Cayley graphs Cay(R,S) and Cay(R,T) isomorphic, there exists an automorphism x of R with S^x=T. The classification of CI-groups is an open problem in the theory…

This paper presents a novel space-filling polyhedron (SFPH), here named the Josehedron, derived from the extremal points of the Fischer-Koch S triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS). The Josehedron is a plesiohedron with 12 faces (4…

We provide asymptotically sharp bounds for the $L_p$ norms of the Fourier multipliers with the symbols $e^{i\lambda \varphi(\xi/|\xi|)}$, where $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ is a large parameter.

We introduce novel higher-order topological phases of matter in chiral-symmetric systems (class AIII of the tenfold classification), most of which would be misidentified as trivial by current theories. These phases are protected by…

We classify flat strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds with (necessarily) indefinite metric. Any such manifold is locally the product of a flat pseudo-K\"ahler factor of maximal dimension and a strict flat nearly K\"ahler manifold of split…

A polyhedral graph is a $3$-connected planar graph. We find the least possible order $p(k,a)$ of a polyhedral graph containing a $k$-independent set of size $a$ for all positive integers $k$ and $a$. In the case $k = 1$ and $a$ even, we…

We show that in a typical polygon the billiard map as well as its associated subshift obtained by coding orbits by the sequence of sides they visit are topologically weakly mixing.

Let $X$, $Y$ be sets and let $\Phi$, $\Psi$ be mappings with the domains $X^{2}$ and $Y^{2}$ respectively. We say that $\Phi$ is combinatorially similar to $\Psi$ if there are bijections $f \colon \Phi(X^2) \to \Psi(Y^{2})$ and $g \colon Y…

To each complex composition algebra $\mathbb{A}$, there associates a projective symmetric manifold $X(\mathbb{A})$ of Picard number one, which is just a smooth hyperplane section of the following varieties ${\rm Lag}(3,6), {\rm Gr}(3,6),…

A partial geometry $S$ admitting an abelian Singer group $G$ is called of rigid type if all lines of $S$ have a trivial stabilizer in $G$. In this paper, we show that if a partial geometry of rigid type has fewer than $1000000$ points it…

We study convex polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^3$ with all their vertices on a sphere. We do not require, in particular, that the polyhedra lie in the interior of the sphere, hence the term "weakly inscribed". Such polyhedra can be…

A weakly distance-regular digraph is quasi-thin if the maximum value of its intersection numbers is 2. In this paper, we focus on commutative quasi-thin weakly distance-regular digraphs, and classify such digraphs with valency more than 3.…

The classical Schl\"afli formula, and its ``higher'' analogs given in [SS03], are relations between the variations of the volumes and ``curvatures'' of faces of different dimensions of a polyhedra (which can be Euclidean, spherical or…

Generically an almost complex structure has no symmetries at all, but there exist symmetric structures. In this paper we describe how to guarantee that the pseudogroup of local symmetries is small (finite-dimensional). It will be indicated…

In this paper we provide the classification of tight contact structures on some small Seifert fibered manifolds. As an application of this classification, combined with work of Lekili in \cite{L2010}, we obtain infinitely many…

We prove that any rigid representation of $\pi_1\Sigma_g$ in $\mathrm{Homeo}_+(S^1)$ with Euler number at least $g$ is necessarily semi-conjugate to a discrete, faithful representation into $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Combined with…

We prove the following main result: Let X be a Fano 3-fold with terminal Q-factorial singularities and X does not have a small extremal ray and a face of Kodaira dimension 1 or 2 for Mori polyhedron of X. Then the Picard number \rho (X) <…
