The investigation of combinatorial diameters of polyhedra is a classical topic in linear programming due to its connection with the possibility of an efficient pivot rule for the simplex method. We are interested in the diameters of…
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…
We introduce the poset of biflats of a matroid $M$, a Lagrangian analog of the lattice of flats of $M$, and study the topology of its order complex, which we call the biflats complex. This work continues the study of the Lagrangian…
In this work we study the recently introduced octonionic duality for membranes. Restricting the self - duality equations to seven space dimensions, we provide various forms for them which exhibit the symmetries of the octonionic and…
We present a straightforward embedding of quantified multimodal logic in simple type theory and prove its soundness and completeness. Modal operators are replaced by quantification over a type of possible worlds. We present simple…
Second-order superintegrable systems in dimensions two and three are essentially classified. With increasing dimension, however, the non-linear partial differential equations employed in current methods become unmanageable. Here we propose…
We introduce a binary matroid M(IAS(G)) associated with a looped simple graph G. M(IAS(G)) classifies G up to local equivalence, and determines the delta-matroid and isotropic system associated with G. Moreover, a parametrized form of its…
Necessary and sufficient conditions are offered for Sobolev type spaces built on rearrangement-invariant spaces to be continuously embedded into (generalized) Campanato and Morrey spaces on open subsets of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean…
This article investigates the two-parameter quantum matrix algebra at roots of unity. In the roots of unity setting, this algebra becomes a Polynomial Identity (PI) algebra and it is known that simple modules over such algebra are…
The purpose of this paper is to give a better understanding of complex points up to quadratic terms of real codimension $2$ submanifolds embedded in a complex $3$-manifold. We answer the question how a normal form of a pair of one arbitrary…
Self-dual configurations of 2n points in a projective space of dimension n-1 were studied by Coble, Dolgachev-Ortland, and Eisenbud-Popescu. We examine the self-dual matroids and self-dual valuated matroids defined by such configurations,…
We showed in the first paper of this series that the generic $C_2^1$-cofactor matroid is the unique maximal abstract $3$-rigidity matroid. In this paper we obtain a combinatorial characterization of independence in this matroid. This solves…
Whitney's theorem states that every 3-connected planar graph is uniquely embeddable on the sphere. On the other hand, it has many inequivalent embeddings on another surface. We shall characterize structures of a $3$-connected $3$-regular…
We give a Kuratowski-type classification of a graph-defined class of minimal piecewise-linear obstructions to embeddability in the 3-sphere. A finite simplicial complex \(X\) is called critical for \(S^3\) if \(|X|\) does not embed in…
In this paper we present an explicit combinatorial description of a special class of facets of the secondary polytopes of hypersimplices. These facets correspond to polytopal subdivisions called multi-splits. We show a relation between the…
We prove that the problem of deciding whether a 2- or 3-dimensional simplicial complex embeds into $\mathbb{R}^3$ is NP-hard. Our construction also shows that deciding whether a 3-manifold with boundary tori admits an $\mathbb{S}^{3}$…
Kirby diagrams for smooth four-dimensional manifolds typically depict only the 1- and 2-handles, omitting the 3-handles. In this work, we undertake a study of 3-handle attachments and provide tools to explicitly include them in handle…
A binary frame template is a device for creating binary matroids from graphic or cographic matroids. Such matroids are said to conform or coconform to the template. We introduce a preorder on these templates and determine the nontrivial…
Coorbit spaces provide a rigorous framework for the assessment of the approximation theoretic properties of generalized wavelet systems. It is therefore useful to understand when two different wavelet systems give rise to the same scales of…
We introduce the notion of a matroid M over a commutative ring R, assigning to every subset of the ground set an R-module according to some axioms. When R is a field, we recover matroids. When R=$\mathbb{Z}$, and when R is a DVR, we get…
