We study spherical tetrahedra with rational dihedral angles and rational volumes. Such tetrahedra occur in the Rational Simplex Conjecture by Cheeger and Simons, and we supply vast families, discovered by computational efforts, of positive…
We present a direct proof of the second conjecture made by M. Atiyah and P. Sutcliffe for the case of convex quadrilaterals. Unlike previous work on this conjecture, our proof does not require any computer aided computations. The new proof…
A collection of sets $\Fscr$ has the $(p,q)$-property if out of every $p$ elements of $\Fscr$ there are $q$ that have a point in common. A transversal of a collection of sets $\Fscr$ is a set $A$ that intersects every member of $\Fscr$.…
It is well-known to be impossible to trisect an arbitrary angle and duplicate an arbitrary cube by a ruler and a compass. On the other hand, it is known from the ancient times that these constructions can be performed when it is allowed to…
This paper introduces even triangulations of n-dimensional pseudo-manifolds and links their combinatorics to the topology of the pseudo-manifolds. This is done via normal hypersurface theory and the study of certain symmetric…
We formulate conjectures regarding percolation on planar triangulations suggested by assuming (quasi) invariance under coarse conformal uniformization.
Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex pentagons of the same area and the same perimeter.
Ehrenborg noted that all tilings of a bipartite planar graph are encoded by its cubical matching complex and claimed that this complex is collapsible. We point out to an oversight in his proof and explain why these complexes can be the…
As shown by Happel, from any Frobenius exact category, we can construct a triangulated category as a stable category. On the other hand, it was shown by Iyama and Yoshino that if a pair of subcategories $\mathcal{D}\subseteq\mathcal{Z}$ in…
In the article "Construction of the continuous hull for the combinatorics of a regular pentagonal tiling of the plane" we constructed the continuous hull for the combinatorics of "A regular pentagonal tiling of the plane", and in the…
Rectangulations are decompositions of a square into finitely many axis-aligned rectangles. We describe realizations of $(n-1)$-dimensional polytopes associated with two combinatorial families of rectangulations composed of $n$ rectangles.…
Motivated by a question of Erd\"{o}s and inquiries by Beeson and Laczkovich, we explore the possible $N$ for which a triangle $T$ can tile into $N$ congruent copies of a triangle $R$. The \emph{reptile} cases (where $T$ is similar to $R$)…
Recently, Amdeberhan et al. proved congruences for the number of hooks of fixed even length among the set of self-conjugate partitions of an integer $n$, therefore answering positively a conjecture raised by Ballantine et al.. In this…
A fixed set of vertices in the plane may have multiple planar straight-line triangulations in which the degree of each vertex is the same. As such, the degree information does not completely determine the triangulation. We show that even if…
We prove that various spaces of constrained positive scalar curvature metrics on compact 3-manifolds with boundary, when not empty, are contractible. The constraints we mostly focus on are given in terms of local conditions on the mean…
We generalize a recent result by J.F. Carlson to finite tensor categories having finitely generated cohomology. Specifically, we show that if the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring is sufficiently large, then there exist infinitely many…
We connect k-triangulations of a convex n-gon to the theory of Schubert polynomials. We use this connection to prove that the simplicial complex with k-triangulations as facets is a vertex-decomposable triangulated sphere, and we give a new…
The present paper is devoted to the study of Keller admissible triples. We prove that a Keller admissible triple induces an isomorphism of Gerstenhaber algebras between the Hochschild cohomologies of direct-sum type of the pair of…
In this article we prove a conjecture of Bezdek, Brass, and Harborth concerning the maximum volume of the convex hull of any facet-to-facet connected system of n unit hypercubes in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d=2 we enumerate the…
In this paper, we consider compatible Hom-associative algebras as a twisted version of compatible associative algebras. Compatible Hom-associative algebras are characterized as Maurer-Cartan elements in a suitable bidifferential graded Lie…
