A $(k,\ell )$ partial partition of an $n$-element set is a collection of $\ell $ pairwise disjoint $k$-element subsets. It is proved that, if $n$ is large enough, one can find $\left\lfloor {n\choose k}/{\ell}\right\rfloor$ such partial…

Let $M$ be a submanifold of ${\Bbb P}^N$ of dimension $n>2$. Suppose that $(M,{\Cal O}_M(1))\cong{\Bbb P}({\Cal E}),{\Cal O}(1))$ for some vector bundle ${\Cal E}$ on a surface $S$. Then $N\ge 2n-1$ by Barth-Lefschetz Theorem. We are…

Based on a result of Makeev, in 2012 Blagojevi\'c and Karasev proposed the following problem: given any positive integers $m$ and $1\leq \ell\leq k$, find the minimum dimension $d=\Delta(m;\ell/k)$ such that for any $m$ mass distributions…

Given a set of numbers, the balanced partioning problem is to divide them into two subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset are as nearly equal as possible, subject to the constraint that the cardinalities of the subsets be…

We solve a generalised form of a conjecture of Kalai motivated by attempts to improve the bounds for Borsuk's problem. The conjecture can be roughly understood as asking for an analogue of the Frankl-R\"odl forbidden intersection theorem in…

In a 1989 paper \cite{arasu2}, Arasu used an observation about multipliers to show that no $(352,27,2)$ difference set exists in any abelian group. The proof is quite short and required no computer assistance. We show that it may be applied…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f_1,\ldots,f_s\in K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ forms of odd degrees. In 1957, Birch proved that if $n$ is sufficiently large then the forms always have a nontrivial zero in $K^n$. Apart from some small degrees, the…
