In his Ph.D. thesis, Michal Szabados conjectured that for a not fully periodic configuration with a minimal periodic decomposition the nonexpansive lines are exactly the lines that contain a period for some periodic configuration in such…
Nivat's conjecture is a long-standing open combinatorial problem. It concerns two-dimensional configurations, that is, maps $\mathbb Z^2 \rightarrow \mathcal A$ where $\mathcal A$ is a finite set of symbols. Such configurations are often…
We study Nivat's conjecture on algebraic subshifts and prove that in some of them every low complexity configuration is periodic. This is the case in the Ledrappier subshift (the 3-dot system) and, more generally, in all two-dimensional…
We study multidimensional configurations (infinite words) and subshifts of low pattern complexity using tools of algebraic geometry. We express the configuration as a multivariate formal power series over integers and investigate the setup…

The Morse-Hedlund Theorem states that a bi-infinite sequence $\eta$ in a finite alphabet is periodic if and only if there exists $n\in\N$ such that the block complexity function $P_\eta(n)$ satisfies $P_\eta(n)\leq n$. In dimension two,…
Since techniques used to address the Nivat's conjecture usually relies on Morse-Hedlund Theorem, an improved version of this classical result may mean a new step towards a proof for the conjecture. In this paper, considering an alphabetical…
A contractive condition is addressed for extended 2-cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same subsets of its domain. It is…
We settle the Path Decomposition Conjecture (P.D.C.) due to Tibor Gallai for minimally connected graphs, i.e. trees. We use this validity for trees and settle the P. D. C. using induction on the number of edges for all connected graphs. We…
In a recent paper published in Nature, Y.I. Sobolev et al. introduced the concept of trajectoids: convex, rigid objects, which roll without slip or spin on a flat plane along a prescribed periodic, unbounded planar path. A geometric…
Because of Minty's classical correspondence between firmly nonexpansive mappings and maximally monotone operators, the notion of a firmly nonexpansive mapping has proven to be of basic importance in fixed point theory, monotone operator…
Monotone operators and (firmly) nonexpansive mappings are fundamental objects in modern analysis and computational optimization. Five years ago, it was shown that if finitely many firmly nonexpansive mappings have or "almost have" fixed…
Let $P$ be a finite poset with an element $s$ such that (1) for all $x\in P$, either $s\vee x$ or $s\wedge x$ exists; and (2) for all $x,y\in P$ such that $x<y$, if $s\wedge x$ does not exist but $s\wedge y$ does exist, then $(s\wedge…
Dilation surfaces are geometric surfaces modelled after the complex plane whose structure group is generated by the groups of translations and dilations. For any dilation surface, for any direction $\theta$ in $S^1$, there exists a…
In this work, we study conditions for the existence of length-constrained path-cycle decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set of a graph into paths and cycles of a given minimum length. Our main contribution is the…
We consider non-commutative deformations of sheaves on algebraic varieties. We develop some tools to determine parameter algebras of versal non-commutative deformations for partial simple collections and the structure sheaves of smooth…
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that if a region $\Sigma\subset \mathbb R^d$ tiles $\mathbb R^d$ by translations then it admits at least one fully periodic tiling. This conjecture is known to hold in $\mathbb R$, and recently it was…
Enochs' conjecture asserts that each covering class of modules (over any fixed ring) has to be closed under direct limits. Although various special cases of the conjecture have been verified, the conjecture remains open in its full…
This paper seeks to advance the theory of nonexpansive mappings by introducing and exploring a novel class of nonexpansive type mappings, which we aptly designate as perimetric nonexpansive mappings. We establish that the collection of…
We obtain a unique continuation result at infinity for fully nonlinear elliptic integro-differential operators of order 2s which satisfy the maximum and minimum principles in bounded subdomains, under the decay assumption $o(|x|^{-(N+2s)})$…
