In 2015, Dankelmann and Bau proved that for every bridgeless graph $G$ of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ there is an orientation of diameter at most $11\frac{n}{\delta+1}+9$. In 2016, Surmacs reduced this bound to…

We give a partial answer to a question attributed to Chris Miller on algebraic values of certain transcendental functions of order less than one. We obtain C(logH)^n bounds for the number of algebraic points of height at most H on certain…

Given a compact subset $\Sigma$ of the real numbers obeying some technical conditions, we consider the set of algebraic integers whose conjugates all lie in $\Sigma$. The distribution of conjugates of such an integer defines a probability…

Let $f:[0,+\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a (locally) Lipschitz function and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ a $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain whose boundary is unbounded and connected. If there exists a positive bounded solution to the overdetermined…

Let $W_{\lambda,b}(x)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\lambda^n g(b^n x)$ where $b\geqslant2$ is an integer and $g(u)=\cos(2\pi u)$ (classical Weierstrass function). Building on work by Ledrappier (1992), Bar\'ansky, B\'ar\'any and Romanowska (2013) and…

Lattice simulations of five-dimensional gauge theories on an orbifold revealed that there is spontaneous symmetry breaking. Some of the extra-dimensional components of the gauge field play the role of a Higgs field and some of the…

Wegner conjectured that if $G$ is a planar graph with maximum degree $\Delta\ge 8$, then $\chi(G^2)\le \left\lfloor \frac32\Delta\right\rfloor +1$. This problem has received much attention, but remains open for all $\Delta\ge 8$. Here we…

We derive attainable upper bounds on the algebraic connectivity (spectral gap) of a regular graph in terms of its diameter and girth. This bound agrees with the well-known Alon-Boppana-Friedman bound for graphs of even diameter, but is an…

We derive a new upper bound on the algebraic connectivity of a regular graph using the Higman-Sims technique. Together with a new result on the connectivity of the neighbourhood graph of strongly regular graphs, our result gives a…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

Given a compact subset $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) with logarithmic capacity greater than zero, we construct an explicit family of probability measures supported on $\Sigma$ such that their closure is all the possible weak…

We show that an arithmetic lattice $\Gamma$ in a semi-simple Lie group $G$ contains a torsion-free subgroup of index $\delta(v)$ where $v = \mu (G/\Gamma)$ is the co-volume of the lattice. We prove that $\delta$ is polynomial in general and…

We first prove De Giorgi type level estimates for functions in $W^{1,t}(\Omega)$, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, with $t>N\geq 2$. This augmented integrability enables us to establish a new Harnack type inequality for functions which do not…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with $m$ edges. Also let $\mu_1\geq \mu_2\geq \cdots\geq \mu_{n-1}\geq \mu_n=0$ be the Laplacian eigenvalues of graph $G$ and let $\sigma=\sigma(G)$ $(1\leq \sigma\leq n)$ be the largest positive integer such…

Let A be a central simple algebra with involution sigma of first or second kind. Let v be a valuation on the sigma-fixed part F of Z(A). A sigma-special v-gauge g on A is a kind of value function on A extending v on F, such that g(sigma(x)…

We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…

Given a lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we consider its Minkowski reduced basis and the solid angle $\Omega$ spanned by the basis vectors. Such a basis satisfies strong near-orthogonality conditions, which allow us to bound from…

In this paper, we consider both differential and algebraic properties of surfaces associated with sigma models. It is shown that surfaces defined by the generalized Weierstrass formula for immersion for solutions of the CP^{N-1} sigma model…
