A point set $M$ in the Euclidean plane is called a planar integral point set if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ is not situated on a straight line. A planar integral point set is called to be in…
A joint of a set of lines $\mathcal{L}$ in $\mathbb{F}^d$ is a point that is contained in $d$ lines with linearly independent directions. The joints problem asks for the maximum number of joints that are formed by $L$ lines. Guth and Katz…
In the junction $\Omega$ of several semi-infinite cylindrical waveguides we consider the Dirichlet Laplacian whose continuous spectrum is the ray $[\lambda_\dagger, +\infty)$ with a positive cut-off value $\lambda_\dagger$. We give two…
A point set $M$ in Euclidean plane is called an integral point set in semi-general position if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ does not contain collinear triples. We improve the lower bound for diameter…
In this paper we rederive an old upper bound on the number of halving edges present in the halving graph of an arbitrary set of $n$ points in 2-dimensions which are placed in general position. We provide a different analysis of an identity…
Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets $\mathcal{P}$, which are sets of $n$ points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the…
We improve on the lower bound of the maximum number of planes of ${\rm PG}(8,q)$ mutually intersecting in at most one point leading to the following lower bound: ${\cal A}_q(9, 4; 3) \ge q^{12}+2q^8+2q^7+q^6+q^5+q^4+1$ for constant…
We show that a wide range of overdetermined boundary problems for semilinear equations with position-dependent nonlinearities admits nontrivial solutions. The result holds true both on the Euclidean space and on compact Riemannian…
A singular point on a plane conic defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ is a transcendental point of the curve which admits very good rational approximations, uniformly in terms of the height. Extremal numbers and Sturmian continued fractions are…
If $ABC$ is a given triangle in the plane, $P$ is any point not on the extended sides of $ABC$ or its anticomplementary triangle, $Q$ is the complement of the isotomic conjugate of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, $DEF$ is the cevian triangle of…
In this paper, we study the distance problem in the setting of finite p-adic rings. In odd dimensions, our results are essentially sharp. In even dimensions, we clarify the conjecture and provide examples to support it. Surprisingly,…
Let $V$ be a variety in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ and $E\subset V$. It is known that if any line passing through the origin contains a bounded number of points from $E$, then $|\prod(E)|=|\{x\cdot y\colon x, y\in E\}|\gg q$ whenever $|E|\gg…
In 1997, Erd\H{o}s asked whether for arbitrarily large $n$ there exists a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that determines $O(\frac{n}{\sqrt{\log n}})$ distinct distances while satisfying the local constraint that every 4-point subset…
In this paper we discuss face numbers of generalised triangulations of manifolds in arbitrary dimensions. This is motivated by the study of triangulations of simply connected $4$-manifolds: We observe that, for a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$…
We find the sharp range for boundedness of the discrete bilinear spherical maximal function for dimensions $d \geq 5$. That is, we show that this operator is bounded on $l^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)\times l^{q}(\mathbb{Z}^d) \to l^{r}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$…
Using geometric methods for linearizing systems of second order cubically semi-linear ordinary differential equations and third order quintically semi-linear ordinary differential equations, we extend to the fourth order by differentiating…
let f be an endomorphism of a complex projective space, of degree bigger than one. Let us call an algebraic subset exceptional for f, if its inverse image is set-theoretically equal to itself. J.-Y. Briend, S. Cantat and M. Shishikura…
Zauner's conjecture concerns the existence of $d^2$ equiangular lines in $\mathbb{C}^d$; such a system of lines is known as a SIC. In this paper, we construct infinitely many new SICs over finite fields. While all previously known SICs…
