We study linear pencils of curves on normal surface singularities. Using the minimal good resolution of the pencil, we describe the topological type of generic elements of the pencil and characterize the behaviour of special elements. Then…
Euclidean geometry consists of straightedge-and-compass constructions and reasoning about the results of those constructions. We show that Euclidean geometry can be developed using only intuitionistic logic. We consider three versions of…
We consider coverings of real algebraic curves to real rational algebraic curves. We show the existence of such coverings having prescribed topological degree on the real locus. From those existence results we prove some results on…
In a planar confluent orthogonal drawing (PCOD) of a directed graph (digraph) vertices are drawn as points in the plane and edges as orthogonal polylines starting with a vertical segment and ending with a horizontal segment. Edges may…
A $3$-Prismatoid is the convex hull of two convex polygons $A$ and $B$ which lie in parallel planes $H_A, H_B\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. Let $A'$ be the orthogonal projection of $A$ onto $H_B$. A prismatoid is called nested if $A'$ is properly…
Observing a linear superposition principle, a family of new minimal hypersurfaces in Euclidean space is found, as well as that linear combinations of generalized helicoids induce new algebraic minimal cones of arbitrarily high degree.
We present a simple heuristic method to derive the Painlev\'e differential equations from the corresponding geometry of rational surafces. We also give a direct relationship between the cubic pencils and Seiberg-Witten curves.
A finite \emph{$k$-net} of order $n$ is an incidence structure consisting of $k\ge 3$ pairwise disjoint classes of lines, each of size $n$, such that every point incident with two lines from distinct classes is incident with exactly one…
A minifold is a smooth projective $n$-dimensional variety such that its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $\D^b(X)$ admits a semi-orthogonal decomposition into an exceptional collection of $n+1$ exceptional objects. In this paper…
Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…
The complete classification of (3,3)-nets and of (3,4)-nets with only double and triple points is given. Up to lattice isomorphism, there are exactly 3 effective possibilities in each case, and some of these provide new examples of…
Is detecting a $k$-clique in $k$-partite regular (hyper-)graphs as hard as in the general case? Intuition suggests yes, but proving this -- especially for hypergraphs -- poses notable challenges. Concretely, we consider a strong notion of…
We introduce a notion of a connection on a coherent sheaf on a weighted projective line (in the sense of Geigle and Lenzing). Using a theorem of Huebner and Lenzing we show, under a mild hypothesis, that if one considers coherent sheaves…
We define persistent homology groups over any set of spaces which have inclusions defined so that the corresponding directed graph between the spaces is acyclic, as well as along any subgraph of this directed graph. This method…
In 2022, the second author found a prolific construction of strongly regular graphs, which is based on joining a coclique and a divisible design graph with certain parameters. The construction produces strongly regular graphs with the same…
A family of lines through the origin in Euclidean space is called equiangular if any pair of lines defines the same angle. The problem of estimating the maximum cardinality of such a family in $\mathbb{R}^n$ was extensively studied for the…
The point-line geometry known as a \textit{partial quadrangle} (introduced by Cameron in 1975) has the property that for every point/line non-incident pair $(P,\ell)$, there is at most one line through $P$ concurrent with $\ell$. So in…
Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field of residue characteristic not $2$ and $O_K$ its ring of integers. We explicitly construct a regular model over $O_K$ with strict normal crossings of any hyperelliptic curve $C/K:y^2=f(x)$. For…
A pseudo-hyperoval of a projective space $\PG(3n-1,q)$, $q$ even, is a set of $q^n+2$ subspaces of dimension $n-1$ such that any three span the whole space. We prove that a pseudo-hyperoval with an irreducible transitive stabiliser is…
Any directed graph G with N vertices and J edges has an associated line-graph L(G) where the J edges form the vertices of L(G). We show that the non-zero eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices are the same for all graphs of such a family…
