A $3$-dimensional polytope $P$ is $k$-equiprojective when the projection of $P$ along any line that is not parallel to a facet of $P$ is a polygon with $k$ vertices. In 1968, Geoffrey Shephard asked for a description of all equiprojective…

Bisztriczky introduced the multiplex as a generalization of the simplex. A polytope is multiplicial if all its faces are multiplexes. In this paper it is proved that the flag vectors of multiplicial polytopes depend only on their face…

The classical Steinitz theorem states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points of $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior.…

We prove that for $n>3$ each generic simple polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a point with at least $2n+4$ emanating normals to the boundary. This result is a piecewise-linear counterpart of a long-standing problem about normals to smooth…

Let $\rho$ be a metric on the set $X=\{1,2,\dots,n+1\}$. Consider the $n$-dimensional polytope of functions $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, which satisfy the conditions $f(n+1)=0$, $|f(x)-f(y)|\leq \rho(x,y)$. The question on classifying…

Bennett, Hart, Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev found an exponent $s<d$ such that any set $E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$ with $|E|\gtrsim q^s$ determines $\gtrsim q^{\binom{k+1}{2}}$ congruence classes of $(k+1)$-point configurations for $k\leq…

We show that for every $d$-dimensional polytope, the hypergraph whose nodes are $k$-faces and whose hyperedges are $(k+1)$-faces of the polytope is strongly $(d-k)$-vertex connected, for each $0 \leq k \leq d- 1$.

A typical decomposition question asks whether the edges of some graph $G$ can be partitioned into disjoint copies of another graph $H$. One of the oldest and best known conjectures in this area, posed by Ringel in 1963, concerns the…

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

We prove that the number of vertices of a polytope of a particular kind is exponentially large in the dimension of the polytope. As a corollary, we prove that an n-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope with O(n) facets has 2^{Omega(n)}…

We prove that there is an absolute constant $ C$ such that for every $ n \geq 2 $ and $ N\geq 10^n, $ there exists a polytope $ P_{n,N} \subset \mathbb{R}^n $ with at most $ N $ facets that satisfies…

After fixing a triangulation $L$ of a $k$-dimensional simplex that has no new vertices on the boundary, we introduce a triangulation operation on all simplicial complexes that replaces every $k$-face with a copy of $L$, via a sequence of…

We show that the graph of a simplicial polytope of dimension $d \ge 3$ has no nontrivial minimum edge cut with fewer than $d(d+1)/2$ edges, hence the graph is $\min\{\delta, d(d+1)/2\}$-edge-connected where $\delta$ denotes the minimum…

The colorful simplicial depth of a collection of d+1 finite sets of points in Euclidean d-space is the number of choices of a point from each set such that the origin is contained in their convex hull. We use methods from combinatorial…

What is the minimal closed cone containing all $f$-vectors of cubical $d$-polytopes? We construct cubical polytopes showing that this cone, expressed in the cubical $g$-vector coordinates, contains the nonnegative $g$-orthant, thus…

We prove a strengthening of the trickle down theorem for partite complexes. Given a $(d+1)$-partite $d$-dimensional simplicial complex, we show that if "on average" the links of faces of co-dimension 2 are $\frac{1-\delta}{d}$-(one-sided)…

A conjecture of Kalai from 1994 posits that for an arbitrary $2\leq k\leq \lfloor d/2 \rfloor$, the combinatorial type of a simplicial $d$-polytope $P$ is uniquely determined by the $(k-1)$-skeleton of $P$ (given as an abstract simplicial…

In strengthening a result of Andr\'asfai, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os in 1974, H\"{a}ggkvist proved that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $C_{2k+1}$-free graph with minimum degree $\delta(G)>\frac{2n}{2k+3}$ and $n>\binom{k+2}{2}(2k+3)(3k+2)$, then $G$…

In this paper we study various scribability problems for polytopes. We begin with the classical $k$-scribability problem proposed by Steiner and generalized by Schulte, which asks about the existence of $d$-polytopes that cannot be realized…

This paper considers the question of how to succinctly approximate a multidimensional convex body by a polytope. Given a convex body $K$ of unit diameter in Euclidean $d$-dimensional space (where $d$ is a constant) and an error parameter…
