We develop a Ramsey-like theorem for subsets of the two and three-dimensional simplex. A generalization of the combinatorial theorem presented here to all dimensions would produce a new proof that $\textrm{Homeo}_+[0,1]$ is extremely…

We study the complexity with respect to Borel reducibility of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between ultrametric Polish spaces for which a set $D$ of possible distances is fixed in advance. These are, respectively, an…

We consider 3-webs, hyper-para-complex structures and integrable Segre structures on manifolds of even dimension and generalise the second heavenly Pleba\'nski equation in the context of higher-dimensional hyper-para-complex structures. We…

The Kuratowski graphs $K_{3,3}$ and $K_5$ characterize planarity. Counting distinct 2-cell embeddings of these two graphs on orientable surfaces was previously done by using Burnside's Lemma and their automorphism groups, without actually…

In this paper we give a proof of Lichnerowicz Conjecture for compact simply connected manifolds which is intrinsic in the sense that it avoids the {\it Nice Embeddings} into eigen spaces of the Laplacian. Even if one wants to use these…

For any positive integer $n$, the author previously constructed several minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which necessarily contain a non-splittable two-component link, consisting of an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere, in any embedding into…

This paper expands on and refines some known and less well-known results about the finite subset spaces of a simplicial complex $X$ including their connectivity and their top homology groups. It also discusses the inclusion of the…

We present a novel method of associating Euclidean features to simplicial complexes, providing a way to use them as input to statistical and machine learning tools. This method extends the node2vec algorithm to simplices of higher…

Utilizing the Weierstrass representation for embedded doubly periodic minimal surfaces with parallel ends, we construct entire singly periodic graphs of spacelike maximal surfaces with isolated cone-like singularities in the…

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…

Any smooth projective curve embeds into $\mathbb{P}^3$. More generally, any curve embeds into a rationally connected variety of dimension at least three. We prove conversely that if every curve embeds in a threefold $X$, then $X$ is…

We have been interested in understanding the class of 7-dimensional closed and simply-connected manifolds in geometric and constructive ways. We have constructed explicit fold maps, which are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions,…

We prove that if a contact 3-manifold admits an open book decomposition of genus 0, a certain intersection pattern cannot appear in the homology of any of its minimal symplectic fillings, and moreover, fillings cannot contain symplectic…

We characterise the following property by six obstructions: given a graphic matroid $M$ and a set $X$ of its elements, when is $M$ the cycle matroid of a graph $G$ such that $X$ is a connected edge set in $G$?

For a given pair of numbers $(d,k)$, we establish the minimal number of vertices in pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with non-trivial homology in dimension $k$. Furthermore, we solve the problem under the additional constraint of…

We characterize sandwiched singularities in terms of their link in two different settings. We first prove that such singularities are precisely the normal surface singularities having self-similar non-archimedean links. We describe this…

Ehrenborg, Govindaiah, Park, and Readdy recently introduced the van der Waerden complex, a pure simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions. Using techniques from combinatorial commutative algebra, we classify when…

We present a short exposition of the following results by S. Parsa. Let $L$ be a graph such that the join $L*\{1,2,3\}$ (i.e. the union of three cones over $L$ along their common bases) piecewise linearly (PL) embeds into $\mathbb R^4$.…

A step 2 branching decomposition of spaces of homogeneous Hermitian monogenic polynomials in C^n is established with explicit embedding factors in terms of the generalized Jacobi polynomials, which allows for an inductive construction of an…

There is a class of graphs with well-covered dimension equal to the simplicial clique number that contains all chordal graphs and infinitely many other graphs. These graphs generalize a result by Brown and Nowakowski on the well-covered…
