The crossing number of a graph $G$ denotes the minimum number of crossings in any planar drawing of $G$. In this short note, we confirm a long-standing conjecture posed by Pach, Spencer, and T\'oth over 25 years ago, establishing an optimal…

Kropholler's class of groups is the smallest class of groups which contains all finite groups and is closed under the following operator: whenever $G$ admits a finite-dimensional contractible $G$-CW-complex in which all stabilizer groups…

We give a complete classification of all simple current modular invariants, extending previous results for $(\Zbf_p)^k$ to arbitrary centers. We obtain a simple explicit formula for the most general case. Using orbifold techniques to this…

For all positive integers $\ell$, we prove non-trivial bounds for the $\ell$-torsion in the class group of $K$, which hold for almost all number fields $K$ in certain families of cyclic extensions of arbitrarily large degree. In particular,…

Given a set of $n$ points in $R^2$, the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem establishes that the number of lines which can be incident to at least $k > 1$ of these points is $O(n^2/k^3 + n/k)$. J.\ Solymosi conjectured that if one requires the…

In this article, I provide significant mathematical evidence in support of the existence of short-time approximations of any polynomial order for the computation of density matrices of physical systems described by arbitrarily smooth and…

A family X of sets is said to be intersecting if any two members of X have non-empty intersection. It is a well-known and simple fact that an intersecting family of subsets of [n]={1,2,...,n} can contain at most 2^(n-1) sets. Katona, Katona…

Let $d\geq 2$ be an integer, $K_0$ a perfect field such that $char(K_0)$ does not divide $d$, $n > d$ an integer prime to $d$, $f(x)\in K_0[x]$ a degree $n$ monic polynomial without repeated roots, and $C_{f,d}$ a smooth projective model of…

We prove that the complement of a toric arrangement has the homotopy type of a minimal CW complex. As a corollary we obtain that the integer cohomology of these spaces is torsion free. We use Discrete Morse Theory, providing a sequence of…

Let $H$, $T$ and $C_n$ be a graph, a tree and a cycle of order $n$, respectively. Let $H^{(i)}$ be the complete join of $H$ and an empty graph on $i$ vertices. Then the Cartesian product $H\Box T$ of $H$ and $T$ can be obtained by applying…

This paper classifies t-structures on the local derived category of a 3-fold flopping contraction, that are intermediate with respect to the heart of perverse coherent sheaves. Equivalently, this describes the complete lattice of torsion…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be an order in the imaginary quadratic field $K$. For positive integers $M \mid N$, we determine the least degree of an $\mathcal{O}$-CM point on the modular curve $X(M,N)_{/K(\zeta_M)}$ and also on the modular curve…

In this paper we present a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, that is tight if the length of the cycle is a multiple of five. This bound improves the natural lower bound obtained by using…

A full-homomorphism between a pair of graphs is a vertex mapping that preserves adjacencies and non-adjacencies. For a fixed graph $H$, a full $H$-colouring is a full-homomorphism of $G$ to $H$. A minimal $H$-obstruction is a graph that…

In this paper we give a geometric characterization of the cones of toric varieties that are complete intersections. In particular, we prove that the class of complete intersection cones is the smallest class of cones which is closed under…

We present a purely algebraic proof of the commutativity of the operation defined by intersection with divisors on the Chow group of a local Noetherian domain.

We construct examples in any odd dimension of contact manifolds with finite and non-zero algebraic torsion (in the sense of Latschev-Wendl), which are therefore tight and do not admit strong symplectic fillings. We prove that Giroux torsion…

Let $G$ be a graph without isolated vertices. The total domination number of $G$ is the minimum number of vertices that can dominate all vertices in $G$, and the paired domination number of $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a…

For a commutative, unital and integral quantale V, we generalize to V-groups the results developed by Gran and Michel for preordered groups. We first of all show that, in the category V-Grp of V-groups, there exists a torsion theory whose…

For an oriented surface $S$, the singular set of a fold map $f:S\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ is a collection of smooth curves, also known as fold singularities. We construct a sharp lower bound on the number of self-intersections of such fold…
