Let S be a compact, connected surface and H in C^2(T^* S) a Tonelli Hamiltonian. This note extends V. V. Kozlov's result on the Euler characteristic of S when H is real-analytically integrable, using a definition of topologically-tame…

In this paper we give a geometric argument for bounding the diameter of a connected compact surface (with boundary) of arbitrary codimension in Euclidean space in terms of Topping's diameter bound for closed surfaces (without boundary). The…

We consider smooth surfaces $S \subset \Pq$ containing a plane curve $P$ and prove some general result concerning the linear system $|H-P|$. We then look at regular surfaces lying on hypersurfaces of degree $s$ having a plane of…

A {\em total coloring} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to the vertices and the edges of $G$ such that every pair of adjacent/incident elements receive distinct colors. The {\em total chromatic number} of a graph $G$, denoted by…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this note we give examples of class two 1-planar graphs with maximum degree six or seven.

We combine classical Vinberg's algorithms with the lattice-theoretic/arithmetic approach from arXiv:1706.05734 [math.AG] to give a method of classifying large line configurations on complex quasi-polarized K3-surfaces. We apply our method…

Given a surface S in P^3 and a collection of general points on it, how many surfaces of a given degree intersect S in a curve with prescribed multiplicities at the points? We formulate two natural conjectures which would answer this…

We define a suffixient set for a text $T [1..n]$ to be a set $S$ of positions between 1 and $n$ such that, for any edge descending from a node $u$ to a node $v$ in the suffix tree of $T$, there is an element $s \in S$ such that $u$'s path…

We consider point sets in $\mathbb{Z}_n^2$ where no three points are on a line - also called caps or arcs. For the determination of caps with maximum cardinality and complete caps with minimum cardinality we provide integer linear…

We show that under a lower Ricci curvature bound and an upper diameter bound, a torus admits a finite-sheeted covering space with volume bounded from below and diameter bounded from above. This partially recovers a result of Kloeckner and…

An explicit expression is obtained for the generating series for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the double torus, with elementary branch points and prescribed ramification type over infinity. Thus we are able to prove a…

We show that the maximum cardinality of an equiangular line system in 17 dimensions is 48, thereby solving a longstanding open problem. Furthermore, by giving an explicit construction, we improve the lower bound on the maximum cardinality…

In this paper, $S$ denotes a surface homeomorphic to a punctured torus or a pair of pants. Our interest is the study of \emph{\textbf{combinatorial $k$-systoles}} that is closed curves with self-intersection numbers greater than $k$ and…

We prove that curve complexes of surfaces are finitely rigid: for every orientable surface S of finite topological type, we identify a finite subcomplex X of the curve complex C(S) such that every locally injective simplicial map from X…

Using an Euclidean approach, we prove a new upper bound for the number of closed points of degree 2 on a smooth absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb F\_q$.This bound enables us to provide…

For an angle $\alpha\in (0,\pi)$, we consider plane graphs and multigraphs in which the edges are either (i) one-bend polylines with an angle $\alpha$ between the two edge segments, or (ii) circular arcs of central angle $2(\pi-\alpha)$. We…

Recently, W. Barth and S. Rams discussed sextics with up to 30 $A_2$-singularities (also called cusps) and their connection to coding theory [math.AG/0403018]. In the present paper, we find a sextic with 35 cusps within a four-parameter…

A maximal arc of degree k in a finite projective plane P of order q = ks is a set of (q-s+1)k points that meets every line of P in either k or 0 points. The collection of the nonempty intersections of a maximal arc with the lines of P is a…

The set of volumes of stable surfaces does have accumulation points. In this paper, we study this phenomenon for surfaces with one cyclic quotient singularity, towards answering the question under which conditions we can still have…

The minimum number of self-intersection points for members of a free homotopy class of curves on the punctured torus is bounded above in terms of the number L of letters required for a minimal description of the class in terms of the…
