In the papers from Chui and Parnes (1971) and Luh (1972), as well on the paper from V.Nestoridis (1996) on the Universal Taylor series, it is used, without proof, that the union of two compact sets in $\mathbb{R} ^2$ with connected…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…

We prove several structural results on definably compact groups G in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields, such as (i) G is definably an almost direct product of a semisimple group and a commutative group, and (ii) the group (G, .) is…

Several discrete geometry problems are equivalent to estimating the size of the largest homogeneous sets in graphs that happen to be the union of few comparability graphs. An important observation for such results is that if $G$ is an…

Consider the family of all perfect matchings of the complete graph $K_{2n}$ with $2n$ vertices. Given any collection $\mathcal M$ of perfect matchings of size $s$, there exists a maximum number $f(n,x)$ such that if $s\leq f(n,x)$, then…

Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…

This paper considers numerical semigroups $S$ that have a non-principal relative ideal $I$ such that $\mu_S(I)\mu_S(S-I)=\mu_S(I+(S-I)) $. We show the existence of an infinite family of such which $I+(S-I)=S\backslash\{0\}$. We also show…

We construct a pair (E ,F), where E is a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface and F a holomorphic subbundle of E, such that both F and E/F admit holomorphic connections, but E does not.

Given $2n$ points in the plane, it is well-known that there always exists a perfect straight-line non-crossing matching. We show that it is $NP$-complete to decide if a partial matching can be augmented to a perfect one, via a reduction…

We study the ring extensions R \subseteq T having the same set of prime ideals provided Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal. Some conditions are given under which no such T exist properly containing R. Using idealization theory, the examples…

We show that the canonical central extension of the group of sections of a Lie group bundle over a compact manifold, constructed in [NW09], is universal. In doing so, we prove universality of the corresponding central extension of Lie…

This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of complements of line arrangements in the complex plane. We investigate the fundamental groups and finite covers of those complements, focusing on homological and enumerative…

A balanced pair in an ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We define the notion of a good pair and…

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p, let R be either a group algebra K[G] or a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), and let I be the augmentation ideal of R. We first characterize those R for which I satisfies a polynomial identity…

We investigate homological properties of perfect algebras of prime characteristic. The principle is as follows: perfect algebras resolve the singularities. For example, we show any module over the ring of absolute integral closure has…

The superextension $\lambda(X)$ of a set $X$ consists of all maximal linked families on $X$. Any associative binary operation $*: X\times X \to X$ can be extended to an associative binary operation $*:…

The pairing hierarchy of perfect pairing (PP), perfect quadruples (PQ) and perfect hextuples (PH) are sparsified coupled cluster models that are exact in a pairing active space for 2, 4, and 6 electron clusters, respectively. We describe…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We show how complemented ideals in the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ arise naturally from a class of thin sets known as Leinert sets. Moreover, we also present an explicit example of a closed ideal in…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a bundle gerbe with connection on a smooth manifold $M$, and let $\rho: G \rightarrow \operatorname{Diff}(M)$ be a smooth action of a Fr\'echet--Lie group $G$ on $M$ that preserves the isomorphism class of…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…
