We give a new combinatorial proof for the number of convex polyominoes whose minimum enclosing rectangle has given dimensions. We also count the subclass of these polyominoes that contain the lower left corner of the enclosing rectangle…

Let $n=2g+2$ be a positive even integer, $f(x)$ a degree $n$ complex polynomial without multiple roots and $C_f: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve over the field $\C$ of complex numbers. Let a $(g-1)$-dimensional…

Let $X$ be a convex polyomino such that its vertex set is a sublattice of $\mathbb{N}^2$. Let $\Bbbk[X]$ be the toric ring (over a field $\Bbbk$) associated to $X$ in the sense of Qureshi, \emph{J. Algebra}, 2012. Write the Hilbert series…

Every homogeneous Riemannian C_0-space (N,g) is associated with its minimal polynomial. To provide explicit examples, we compute the minimal polynomials for generalized Heisenberg groups equipped with their canonical left-invariant metrics.

This paper presents results on structures in P based on tools developed from subjects of elementary number theory. Key findings are: The arithmetical sequence H = (+-3*2; 1) is in Z the smallest superset of P \ {3, 2}. H is a semigroup. A…

We present a conjecture about the reduced Hilbert series of the coordinate ring of a simple polyomino in terms of particular arrangements of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the polyomino. By using a computational approach, we…

The polyadic integer numbers, which form a polyadic ring, are representatives of a fixed congruence class. The basics of polyadic arithmetic are presented: prime polyadic numbers, the polyadic Euler function, polyadic division with a…

We show that every non-hamiltonian polyhedron contains the Herschel graph as a minor, implying that the Herschel graph is the unique minor-minimal non-hamiltonian polyhedron. Our approach unifies many previously known results on minors of…

We consider quantitative versions of Helly-type questions, that is, instead of finding a point in the intersection, we bound the volume of the intersection. Our first main geometric result is a quantitative version of the Fractional Helly…

Given a labeled graph $H$ with vertex set $\{1, 2,\ldots,n\}$, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(H)$ is the minimum $N$ such that every two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $\{1, 2, \ldots,N\}$ contains a copy of $H$ with…

We identify a family of numbers for which the Bernoulli convolution is singular. Within this family we find two countable collections of Salem numbers in the interval $(1,2)$, and another Salem number and an algebraic integer that is…

We prove that fractional Helly and $(p,q)$-theorems imply $(\aleph_0,q)$-theorems in an entirely abstract setting. We give a plethora of applications, including reproving almost all earlier $(\aleph_0,q)$-theorems about geometric…

A shape's Heesch number is the number of layers of copies of the shape that can be placed around it without gaps or overlaps. Experimentation and exhaustive searching have turned up examples of shapes with finite Heesch numbers up to six,…

In this article, we prove that finite (weakly) systolic and Helly complexes can be reconstructed from their boundary distances (computed in their 1-skeleta). Furthermore, Helly complexes and 2-dimensional systolic complexes can be…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of reflecting numbers to the realm of number theory and to classify reflecting numbers of certain types. For us, reflecting numbers are coming from congruent numbers, above congruent…

Given an integer base $b\geq 2$, a number $\rho\geq 1$ of colors, and a finite sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_\rho)$ of positive integers, we introduce the concept of a $\Lambda$-restricted $\rho$-colored $b$-ary partition of…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a 3-uniform hypergraph. The multicolor Ramsey number $ r_k(\mathcal{H})$ is the smallest integer $n$ such that every coloring of $ \binom{[n]}{3}$ with $k$ colors has a monochromatic copy of $\mathcal{H}$. Let $…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the number of partitions of a positive integer $m$ into at most $n$ parts in a given set $A$. We prove that such a number is bounded by the $n$-th Fibonacci number $F(n)$ for any $m$ and…

Let $S$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Fix an arbitrary non-elementary representation $\rho\colon\pi_1(S)\to {\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ and consider all marked (complex) projective structures on $S$ with holonomy $\rho$. We…

We prove the following Helly-type result. Let $\mathcal{C}_1,\dots,\mathcal{C}_{3d}$ be finite families of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Assume that for any colorful selection of $2d$ sets, $C_{i_k}\in \mathcal{C}_{i_k}$ for each $1\leq…
