We introduce a construction, called linearization, that associates to any monomial ideal $I$ an ideal $\mathrm{Lin}(I)$ in a larger polynomial ring. The main feature of this construction is that the new ideal $\mathrm{Lin}(I)$ has linear…
Consider a set represented by an inequality. An interesting phenomenon which occurs in various settings in mathematics is that the interior of this set is the subset where strict inequality holds, the boundary is the subset where equality…
We produce combinatorial models for configuration space in a simplicial complex, and for configurations near a single point ("local configuration space.") The model for local configuration space is built out of the poset of poset structures…
We give a fairly elementary and simple proof that shows that the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^3$, so that no plane contains more than $s$ lines, is $$ O\left(m^{1/2}n^{3/4}+ m^{2/3}n^{1/3}s^{1/3} + m…
The Klein and Wiman configurations are highly symmetric configurations of lines in the projective plane arising from complex reflection groups. One noteworthy property of these configurations is that all the singularities of the…
We consider problems involving rich homotheties in a set S of n points in the plane (that is, homotheties that map many points of S to other points of S). By reducing these problems to incidence problems involving points and lines in R^3,…
In this paper we have shown that a double sequence in a topological space satisfies certain conditions which in turn are capable to generate a topology on a non empty set. Also we have used the idea of I-convergence of double sequences to…
We present a complete classification of minimal problems for generic arrangements of points and lines in space observed partially by three calibrated perspective cameras when each line is incident to at most one point. This is a large class…
We consider twelve different ways of modelling the 3-body problem in dimension $\geq 2$. These can be viewed as models of classical and quantum background independence. We show that a different type of monopole is realized in each's…
The core of an $R$-ideal $I$ is the intersection of all reductions of $I$. This object was introduced by D. Rees and J. Sally and later studied by C. Huneke and I. Swanson, who showed in particular its connection to J. Lipman's notion of…
In the paper, we study special configurations of lines and points in the complex projective plane, so called k-nets. We describe the role of these configurations in studies of cohomology on arrangement complements. Our most general result…
We study equi-singular strata of plane curves with two singular points of prescribed types. The method of the previous work [Kerner06] is generalized to this case. In particular we consider the enumerative problem for plane curves with two…
In this paper, we prove that if $I\subset S:=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ is a monomial ideal then $I$ and $S/I$ satisfy the Stanley conjecture when $I$ has a small number of generators, with respect to $\depth(S/I)$ and $\max\{|P|:\;P\in\Ass(S/I)\}$.…
We study edge-isoperimetric inequalities in chamber graphs of affine hyperplane arrangements. Our approach is topological: to a set of chambers we associate its thickening in Euclidean space and estimate its edge boundary through the…
We consider the situation where one is given a set S of points in the plane and a collection D of unit disks embedded in the plane. We show that finding a minimum cardinality subset of D such that any path between any two points in S is…
We consider a class of eight derivative interactions in the effective action of type IIB string theory compactified on T^2. These 1/2 BPS interactions have moduli dependent couplings. We impose the constraints of supersymmetry to show that…
We study monomial ideals with linear presentation or partially linear resolution. We give combinatorial characterizations of linear presentation for square-free ideals of degree 3, and for primary ideals whose resolutions are linear except…
We consider the problem of embedding a symmetric configuration with block size 3 in an orientable surface in such a way that the blocks of the configuration form triangular faces and there is only one extra large face. We develop a…
Pseudoline arrangements are fundamental objects in discrete and computational geometry, and different works have tackled the problem of improving the known bounds on the number of simple arrangements of $n$ pseudolines over the past…
One can embed arbitrarily many disjoint, non-parallel, non-boundary parallel, incompressible surfaces in any three manifold with at least one boundary component of genus two or greater [4]. This paper proves the contrasting, but not…
