We study conditions under which a finite simplicial complex $K$ can be mapped to $\mathbb R^d$ without higher-multiplicity intersections. An almost $r$-embedding is a map $f: K\to \mathbb R^d$ such that the images of any $r$ pairwise…

Here we analyze a proper 2-generated core in a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank. We ultimately show that such a group is strongly embedded and the ambiant group is…

We study the connectedness locus $\mathcal{N}$ for the family of iterated function systems of pairs of homogeneous affine-linear maps in the plane. We prove this set is regular closed (i.e., it is the closure of its interior) away from the…

Let a sequence $(P_n)$ of polynomials in one complex variable satisfy a recurre ce relation with length growing slowlier than linearly. It is shown that $(P_n) $ is an orthonormal basis in $L^2_{\mu}$ for some measure $\mu$ on $\C$, if and…

We study the isochronicity of centers at $O\in \mathbb{R}^2$ for systems $$\dot x=-y+A(x,y),\;\dot y=x+B(x,y),$$ where $A,\;B\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$, which can be reduced to the Li\'enard type equation. When $deg(A)\leq 4$ and $deg(B) \leq 4$,…

An elementary proof is given to show that a parametrised algebraic curve in the plane may be traced out, in the sense of A. B. Kempe, by a finite pinned linkage. Additionally it is shown that any parametrised continuous curve \gamma: [0,1]…

We study the periodic homogenization of first order front propagations. Based on PDE methods, we provide a simple proof that for $n \geq 3$, the class of centrally symmetric polytopes with rational coordinates and nonempty interior is…

We introduce and study a combinatorially defined notion of root basis of a (real) root system of a possibly infinite Coxeter group. Known results on conjugacy up to sign of root bases of certain irreducible finite rank real root systems are…

We introduce 3-irreducible modules, even roots and odd roots for Leibniz algebras, produce a basis for a root space of a Leibniz algebra with a semisimple Lie factor, and classify finite dimensional simple Leibniz algebras with Lie factor…

We revisit the characterization of \emph{trivial} isochronous centers for planar polynomial Hamiltonian systems in degrees $5$ and $7$ obtained by Braun--Llibre--Mereu, and we formalize two conclusions suggested by their method. First, a…

Here we prove classification results announced in Part I (alg-geom/9711032). We classify maximal hyperbolic root systems of the rank 3 having restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice Weyl vector $\rho$ with $\rho^2\ge 0$ (i.e.…

In this paper, we study the action of special $n\times n $ linear (resp. symplectic) matrices which are homotopic to identity on the right invertible $n\times m$ matrices. We also prove that the commutator subgroup of $\rm{O}_{2n}(R[X])$ is…

Various theorems on convergence of general space homeomorphisms are proved and, on this basis, theorems on convergence and compactness for classes of the so-called ring $Q$--homeomorphisms are obtained. In particular, it was established by…

We study a specific family of uniformly isochronous polynomial systems. Our results permit to solve a problem about centers of such systems.

We show that algebraizability of the functors $R^1\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ and $R^2\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ is a stable birational invariant for smooth and proper varieties $\pi:X\rightarrow k$ defined over an algebraic extension $k$ of…

We will give an explicit description of the center of the De Concini-Kac type specialization of a quantized enveloping algebra at an even root of unity. The case of an odd root of unity was already dealt with by De Concini-Kac-Procesi. Our…

We study minimal complex surfaces S of general type with q(S)=q and p_g(S)=2q-3, q>= 5. We give a complete classification in case that S has a fibration onto a curve of genus >=2. For these surfaces K^2=8\chi. In general we prove that…

Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial of even degree $d$. We study the decompositions $f=\sum_{i=1}^r f_i^2$ where $\mathrm{deg} f_i=d/2$. The minimal number of summands $r$ is called the $2$-rank of $f$, so that the polynomials having…

For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, the logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta}$, and the analytic capacity $c_{B}$ satisfy the inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta} \geq c^2_B$; moreover, equality holds at a…

Let $F$ be a finite field of odd cardinality $q$, $A=F[T]$ the polynomial ring over $F$, $k=F(T)$ the rational function field over $F$ and $\mathcal{H}$ the set of square-free monic polynomials in $A$ of degree odd. If $D\in\mathcal{H}$, we…
