In this paper, we study the connected blocks polytope, which, apart from its own merits, can be seen as the generalization of certain connectivity based or Eulerian subgraph polytopes. We provide a complete facet description of this…

In this note, we give an explicit counterexample to the simple loop conjecture for representations of surface groups into PSL(2,R). Specifically, we show that for any surface with negative Euler characteristic and genus at least 1, there…

In this article we prove that the Weinstein conjecture holds for contact manifolds $(\Sigma,\xi)$ for which $\mathrm{Cont}_0(\Sigma,\xi)$ is non-orderable in the sense of Eliashberg-Polterovich [EP00]. More precisely, we establish a link…

In this note we discuss some examples of non torsion and non algebraic cohomology classes for varieties over finite fields. The approach follows the construction of Atiyah-Hirzebruch and Totaro.

In this note, we discuss recently discovered counterexamples to Mordell's Pellian Equation Conjecture and the Ankeny-Artin-Chowla-Conjecture. We provide a verification of the counterexample to Mordell's Pellian Equation Conjecture that can…

The study of the diameter of the graph of polyhedra is a classical problem in the theory of linear programming. While transportation polytopes are at the core of operations research and statistics it is still open whether the Hirsch…

In this paper, we shall consider some counter examples in non-archimedean locally convex spaces with special closed subspaces and Schauder basis in non-archimedean Fr\'{e}chet spaces as well as closed subspaces \emph{without} Schauder basis…

We present a counterexample to Viterbo's volume-capacity conjecture. This implies, in particular, that in contrast with a well-known conjecture, symplectic capacities do not coincide on the class of convex domains in the classical phase…

It is well-known that every polyhedral cone is finitely generated (i.e. polytopal), and vice versa. Surprisingly, the two notions differ almost always for non-commutative versions of such cones. This was obtained as a byproduct in an…

For any n>3, we provide examples of curves lying on K3 surfaces and vector bundles on those curves which invalidate Mercat's conjecture for rank n bundles.

For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…

Intersection norms are integer norms on the first homology group of a surface. In this article, we prove that there are some polytopes which are not dual unit balls of such norms. By the way, we investigate the set of collections of curves…

We show that the hyperplane conjecture holds for the classes of $k$-intersection bodies with arbitrary measures in place of volume.

Let $R$ be the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of a cycle graph which is not Gorenstein. We describe the non-Gorenstein locus of $\mathrm{Spec} R$. Further, we show that $R$ is almost Gorenstein. Moreover, we show that the…

We prove the occurrence of a phase transition accompanied by the emergence of cycles of diverging lengths in the random interchange process on the hypercube.

We establish isomorphism ranges for the comparison maps between algebraic and topological K-groups, extending classical Quillen-Lichtenbaum conjecture to separated complex schemes of finite type after refinement. Additionally, we…

We analyse the intersection of positively and negatively sectional-hyperbolic sets for flows on compact manifolds. First we prove that such an intersection is hyperbolic if the intersecting sets are both transitive (this is false without…

A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…

The main purpose of this paper is to popularize Danzer's power complex construction and establish some new results about covering maps between two power complexes. Power complexes are cube-like combinatorial structures that share many…

We present a direct proof of the second conjecture made by M. Atiyah and P. Sutcliffe for the case of convex quadrilaterals. Unlike previous work on this conjecture, our proof does not require any computer aided computations. The new proof…
