We consider a sequence $\mathbf{T} = (\mathcal{T}_n : n \in \mathbb{N}^+)$ of trees $\mathcal{T}_n$ where, for some $\Delta \in \mathbb{N}^+$ every $\mathcal{T}_n$ has height at most $\Delta$ and as $n \to \infty$ the minimal number of…
We propound the thesis that there is a limitation to the number of possible structures which are axiomatically endowed with identities involving operations. In the case of algebras with a binary operation satisfying a formally reducible (to…
There is a very natural map from the configuration space of n distinct points in Euclidean 3-space into the flag manifold U(n)/U(1)^n, which is compatible with the action of the symmetric group. The map is well-defined for all…
Let G be a graph. The (unlabeled) configuration space of n points on G is the space of all n-element subsets of G. The fundamental group of such a configuration space is called a graph braid group. We use a version of discrete Morse theory…
This paper is a survey of computational issues in algebraic geometry, with particular attention to the theory of Grobner bases and the regularity of an algebraic variety. 1. A geometric introduction to Grobner bases. 2. An algebraic…
We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…
The classical theorem of Weitzenboeck states that the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation $g$ in $GL_m(K)$ acting on the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,...,x_m]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is finitely generated.…
We apply verified numerics to the Nirenberg problem, proving that a genuine solution exists near two given computer-generated approximate solutions. This proves existence of a solution for a particular prescribed curvature that was…
We propose a generalization of Artin's definition of algebraic stack, which we call {\em geometric $n$-stack}. The main observation is that there is an inductive structure to the definition whereby the ingredients for the definition of…
In 1973 Erdos asked whether there are n-vertex partial Steiner triple systems with arbitrary high girth and quadratically many triples. (Here girth is defined as the smallest integer g \ge 4 for which some g-element vertex-set contains at…
We describe a new way to construct finite geometric objects. For every k we obtain a symmetric configuration E(k-1) with k points on a line. In particular, we have a constructive existence proof for such configurations. The method is very…
A geometric progression of length $k$ and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form $\{a,ar,\dots,ar^{k-1}\}$ for some positive real number $a$ and integer $r\geq 2$. For each integer $k \geq 3$, a greedy algorithm is used to construct…
By combining well-known techniques from both noncommutative algebra and computational commutative algebra, we observe that an algorithmic approach can be applied to the study of irreducible representations of finitely presented algebras. In…
We say that two graphs $H_1,H_2$ on the same vertex set are $G$-creating ($G$-different in other papers, this difference is explained in the introduction) if the union of the two graphs contains $G$ as a subgraph. Let $H(n,k)$ be the…
Given a graphical degree sequence ${\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots, d_n)$, let $G(n, {\bf d})$ denote a uniformly random graph on vertex set $[n]$ where vertex $ i$ has degree $d_i$ for every $1\le i\le n$. We give upper and lower bounds on the joint…
A graph construction that produces a k-regular graph on n vertices for any choice of k >= 3 and n = m(k+1) for integer m >= 2 is described. The number of Hamiltonian cycles in such graphs can be explicitly determined as a function of n and…
We study computing geometric problems on uncertain points. An uncertain point is a point that does not have a fixed location, but rather is described by a probability distribution. When these probability distributions are restricted to a…
Much progress has been made on the problem of calculating $g(n)$ for various classes of integers $n$, where $g$ is the group-counting function. We approach the inverse problem of solving the equations $g(n) = 6$ and $g(n) = 7$ in $n$. The…
We provide an ergodic theorem for certain Banach-space valued functions on structures over $\ZZ^d$, which allow for existence of frequencies of finite patterns. As an application we obtain existence of the integrated density of states for…
The well-known middle levels conjecture asserts that for every integer $n\geq 1$, all binary strings of length $2(n+1)$ with exactly $n+1$ many 0s and 1s can be ordered cyclically so that any two consecutive strings differ in swapping the…
