A tensor space is a vector space equipped with a finite collection of multilinear forms. The length of a tensor space is its length as a representation of its symmetry group. Infinite dimension tensor spaces of finite length are special,…
An $r$-matching in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges in $G$ such that the distance between any two edges is at least $r$. A $2$-matching is also called an induced matching. In this paper, we estimate the maximum number of $r$-matchings…
Semialgebraic splines are functions that are piecewise polynomial with respect to a cell decomposition into sets defined by polynomial inequalities. We study bivariate semialgebraic splines, formulating spaces of semialgebraic splines in…
Planar point sets with many triple lines (which contain at least three distinct points of the set) have been studied for 180 years, started with Jackson and followed by Sylvester. Green and Tao has shown recently that the maximum possible…
A corner is a set of three points in $\mathbf{Z}^2$ of the form $(x, y), (x + d, y), (x, y + d)$ with $d \neq 0$. We show that for infinitely many $N$ there is a set $A \subset [N]^2$ of size $2^{-(c + o(1)) \sqrt{\log_2 N}} N^2$ not…
We prove that a surface in real 3-space containing a line and a circle through each point is a quadric. We also give some particular results on the classification of surfaces containing several circles through each point.
A star-simple drawing of a graph is a drawing in which adjacent edges do not cross. In contrast, there is no restriction on the number of crossings between two independent edges. When allowing empty lenses (a face in the arrangement induced…
For an arbitrary convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ with area ${\cal A}$ and perimeter $p$, we define two points $I_1, I_2$ on its Newton line that serve as incenters. These points are the centers of two circles with radii $r_1, r_2$ that are…
A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…
The diameter of a graph measures the maximal distance between any pair of vertices. The diameters of many small-world networks, as well as a variety of other random graph models, grow logarithmically in the number of nodes. In contrast, the…
The paper studies the structure of restricted Leibniz algebras. More specifically speaking, we first give the equivalent definition of restricted Leibniz algebras, which is by far more tractable than that of a restricted Leibniz algebras in…
This is an expository article detailing results concerning large arcs in finite projective spaces, which attempts to cover the most relevant results on arcs, simplifying and unifying proofs of known old and more recent theorems. The article…
We generalize the concept of token graphs to obtain supertoken graphs. In the latter case, there can be more than one token in a vertex. We formally define supertoken graphs and establish their basic properties. Moreover, we provide some…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for two circles, each with finitely many points added inside, to be betweenness isomorphic. We fully characterize the betweenness isomorphism classes in the family consisting of all circles with…
If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…
Theoretical results are known about the completeness of a planar algebraic cubic curve as a (n,3)-arc in PG(2,q). They hold for q big enough and sometimes have restriction on the characteristic and on the value of the j-invariant. We…
An uncountable collection of arcs in S^3 is constructed, each member of which is wild precisely at its endpoints, such that the fundamental groups of their complements are non-trivial, pairwise non-isomorphic, and indecomposable with…
Given a ternary homogeneous polynomial, the fixed points of the map from $\mathbb{P}^2$ to itself defined by its gradient are called its eigenpoints. We focus on cubic polynomials, and analyze configurations of eigenpoints that admit one or…
We consider a problem posed by Erd\H{o}s, Herzog and Piranian on the maximum product of distances of a point set of order $n$ with a given diameter. We prove that it is sufficient to consider convex polygons and obtain results on the…
We study the problem of arithmetic billiards from a new perspective. We first raise a similar problem about reflecting lights inside grids. For the solution to this problem, we will give three proofs. Next, we consider a similar problem in…
