Whereas Steiner systems $S(2,k,v)$ with block length $k \le 5$ have large amount of examples and the existence is established for all admissible $v$, for $k\ge 6$ only few examples are known even for decided cases. In this paper the…

In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…

In previous papers, we developed a technique for estimating the inner eccentricity in hierarchical triple systems, with the inner orbit being initially circular. We considered systems with well separated components and different initial…

The neighborhood of a pair of vertices $u,v$ in a triple system is the set of vertices $w$ such that $uvw$ is an edge. A triple system $\HH$ is semi-bipartite if its vertex set contains a vertex subset $X$ such that every edge of $\HH$…

We construct a collection of higher Chow cycles on certain surfaces which degenerate to an arrangement of planes in general position. When its degree is 4, this construction gives a new explicit proof of the Hodge-D-Conjecture for a certain…

We address the problem of classification of hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds with $b_2=23$. In particular we prove some special cases of the Conjecture of O'Grady about hyper-K\"ahler $4$-folds numerically equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two…

It has been known since Fagnano in 1775 that an acute triangle always has a periodic billiard path, namely the orthic triangle. It is currently unknown whether every obtuse triangle has a periodic path. In 2006, Schwartz showed that every…

W. M. Hirsch formulated a beautiful conjecture on diameters of convex polyhedra.I suggest a new viewpoint with the deformation and moduli of polytopes.

For $v\equiv 1$ or 3 (mod 6), maximum partial triple systems on $v$ points are Steiner triple systems, STS($v$)s. The 80 non-isomorphic STS(15)s were first enumerated around 100 years ago, but the next case for Steiner triple systems was…

We obtain some new upper bounds on the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in $n$-vertex graphs without containing cycles of length four. This leads to an asymptotically optimal bound on $f(n)$ for a broad range of integers $n$ as well as a…

This article provides a thorough investigation into Gilbert's Conjecture, pertaining to Hardy spaces in the upper half-space valued in Clifford modules. We explore the conjecture proposed by Gilbert in 1991, which seeks to extend the…

We introduce an operation of a kind of product which associates with a partial Steiner triple system another partial Steiner triple system, the starting one being a quotient of the result. We discuss relations of our product to some other…

In this paper we show that for a given 3-manifold and a given Heegaard splitting there are finitely many preferred decomposing systems of $3g - 3$ disjoint essential disks. These are characterized by a combinatorial criterion which is a…

If $G$ is a finite group then there is an integer $M_G$ such that$,$ for $u\ge M_G$ and $u\equiv 1$ or $3$ (mod 6), there is a Steiner triple system $U$ on $u$ points for which ${\rm Aut} U \cong G. \ $ If $V$ is a Steiner triple system…

We prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture in generic situations for forms of $U(3)$ which are compact at infinity and split at places dividing $p$ as conjectured by Herzig. We also prove automorphy lifting theorems in dimension three.…

In this short note we prove the Borel conjecture for a family of aspherical manifolds that includes higher graph manifolds.

We prove the existence of periodic orbits for steady $C^\omega$ Euler flows on all Riemannian solid tori. By using the correspondence theorem from part I of this series, we reduce the problem to the Weinstein Conjecture for solid tori. We…

The more recent paper "Generic strange duality for K3 surfaces" by the authors contains stronger results.

Let $A$ be a graded complete intersection over a field and $B$ the monomial complete intersection with the generators of the same degrees as $A$. The EGH conjecture says that if $I$ is a graded ideal in $A$, then there should be an ideal…

Erd\"{o}s and Tur\'{a}n once conjectured that any set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ with $\sum_{a\in A}{1}/{a}=\infty$ should contain infinitely many progressions of arbitrary length $k\geq3$. For the two-dimensional case Graham conjectured that if…
