The convex hull of a set K in space consists of points which are, in a certain sense, "surrounded" by K. When K is a closed curve, we define its higher hulls, consisting of points which are "multiply surrounded" by the curve. Our main…

We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…

We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We use it to explicitly compute their integral group…

It is known that for convex sets, the KKM condition is equivalent to the finite intersection property. We use this equivalence to obtain a characterisation of monotone operators in terms of convex KKM maps and in terms of the existence of…

A graph of order $n$ is said to be \emph{$k$-factor-critical} ($0\leq k <n$) if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is \emph{minimal} if $G-e$ is not…

We investigate some basic properties of the {\it heart} $\heartsuit(\mathcal{K})$ of a convex set $\mathcal{K}.$ It is a subset of $\mathcal{K},$ whose definition is based on mirror reflections of euclidean space, and is a non-local object.…

Several new verifiable conditions are established for block matrices with scalar diagonal blocks to have the numerical range equal the convex hull of at most k ellipses where k by k is the size of the smaller diagonal block. For k = 2,…

In the article we consider the composite conformal map which maps annulus to infinite region with symmetric hole and nearly circular hole. It is shown that such transformation is good if the distance between centers of holes are large or…

Let $X(Q,\Lambda)$ be a quasitoric manifold associated to a simple convex polytope $Q$ and characteristic function $\Lambda$. Let $T\cong (\mathbb{S}^1)^n$ denote the compact $n$-torus acting on $X=X(Q,\Lambda)$. The main aim of this…

It is known from the Runge approximation theorem that every function which is holomorphic in a neighborhood of a compact polynomially convex set $K\subset \complexes^{n}$ can be approximated uniformly on $K$ by analytic polynomials. We…

Every finite graph admits a \emph{simple (topological) drawing}, that is, a drawing where every pair of edges intersects in at most one point. However, in combination with other restrictions simple drawings do not universally exist. For…

We study equivariant coarse homology theories through an axiomatic framework. To this end we introduce the category of equivariant bornological coarse spaces and construct the universal equivariant coarse homology theory with values in the…

We consider a Hamiltonian torus action on a compact connected symplectic manifold M. For a certain class of Lagrangian submanifolds Q of M we show that the image of Q under the momentum map is convex. As an application we complete the…

It is shown how the Beneath-and-Beyond algorithm can be used to yield another proof of the equivalence of V- and H-representations of convex polytopes. In this sense this paper serves as the sketch of an introduction to polytope theory with…

If K' and K are convex bodies of the plane such that K' is a subset of K then the perimeter of K' is not greater than the perimeter of K. We obtain the following generalization of this fact. Let K be a convex compact body of the plane with…
