Tables of sizes of random complete arcs in the plane $PG(2,q)$ are given. The sizes are close to the smallest known sizes of complete arcs in $PG(2,q)$, in particular, to ones constructed by Algorithm FOP (fixed order of points). The random…

We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…

As a generalization of Hausdorff's extension theorem of metrics, we prove an interpolation theorem of a family of metrics defined on closed subsets of metrizable spaces. As an application, we investigate typicality of subsets of moduli…

The Welschinger numbers, a kind of a real analog of the Gromov-Witten numbers which count the complex rational curves through a given generic collection of points, bound from below the number of real rational curves for any real generic…

Let $\alpha_1, \cdots, \alpha_d$ be real numbers, and let $S$ be the set of integers $s$ so that $||\alpha_i s||_{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}}>\delta$ for some $i$ and some fixed $\delta>0$. We prove $S$ is not \enquote{$2$-large}, i.e. there is…

To provide generalized solutions if a given problem admits no actual solution is an important task in mathematics and the natural sciences. It has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century when Carl Friedrich Gauss developed the…

The problem of detecting the bifurcation set of polynomial mappings $\mathbb{ C}^m \to \mathbb{ C}^k$, $m\ge 2$, $m\ge k\ge 1$, has been solved in the case $m=2$, $k=1$ only. Its solution, which goes back to the 1970s, involves the…

For the given regular plane polygon and an arbitrary point in the plane of the polygon, the distances from the point to the vertices of the polygon are defined. We proved that there is one more non-congruent regular polygon having the…

In a convex n-gon, let d[1] > d[2] > ... denote the set of all distances between pairs of vertices, and let m[i] be the number of pairs of vertices at distance d[i] from one another. Erdos, Lovasz, and Vesztergombi conjectured that m[1] +…

An $n$-arc in a projective plane is a collection of $n$ distinct points in the plane, no three of which lie on a line. Formulas counting the number of $n$-arcs in any finite projective plane of order $q$ are known for $n \le 8$. In 1995,…

We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…

The classical trisecant lemma says that a general chord of a non-degenerate space curve is not a trisecant; that is, the chord only meets the curve in two points. The generalized trisecant lemma extends the result to higher-dimensional…

A line digraph $L(G) = (A, E)$ is the digraph constructed from the digraph $G = (V, A)$ such that there is an arc $(a,b)$ in $L(G)$ if the terminal node of $a$ in $G$ is the initial node of $b$. The maximum number of arcs in a line digraph…

A pentagonal geometry PENT($k$, $r$) is a partial linear space, where every line is incident with $k$ points, every point is incident with $r$ lines, and for each point $x$, there is a line incident with precisely those points that are not…

In this paper a generalisation of the notion of polarity is exhibited which allows to completely describe, in an incidence-geometric way, the linear complexes of $h$-subspaces. A generalised polarity is defined to be a partial map which…

We present a general, rigorous theory of Lee-Yang zeros for models with first-order phase transitions that admit convergent contour expansions. We derive formulas for the positions and the density of the zeros. In particular, we show that…

Tverberg's theorem states that for any $k \ge 2$ and any set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of at least $(d + 1)(k - 1) + 1$ points in $d$ dimensions, we can partition $P$ into $k$ subsets whose convex hulls have a non-empty intersection. The…

A point set $M$ in $m$-dimensional Euclidean space is called an integral point set if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ is not situated on an $(m-1)$-dimensional hyperplane. We improve the linear lower…

If X is a finite set of points in a multiprojective space P^n1 x ... x P^nr with r >= 2, then X may or may not be arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM). For sets of points in P^1 x P^1 there are several classifications of the ACM sets of…

We prove that coronizations with respect to arbitrary d-regular sets (not necessarily graphs) imply big pieces squared of these (approximating) sets. This is known (and due to David and Semmes in the case of sufficiently large co-dimension,…
