Existence of oblique polar lines for the meromorphic extension of the current valued function $\int |f|^{2\lambda}|g|^{2\mu}\square$ is given under the following hypotheses: $f$ and $g$ are holomorphic function germs in $\CC^{n+1}$ such…

We prove that on a closed surface of genus $g$, the cardinality of a set of simple closed curves in which any two are non-homotopic and intersect at most once is $\lesssim g^2 \log(g)$. This bound matches the largest known constructions to…

This is the first step of the two steps to enumerate the minimal charts with two crossings. For a label $m$ of a chart $\Gamma$ we denote by $\Gamma_m$ the union of all the edges of label $m$ and their vertices. For a minimal chart $\Gamma$…

A multiple group rack (MGR) is an algebraic system which is used to construct invariants of spatial surfaces, which are compact surfaces embedded in the $3$-sphere $S^{3}$. Seifert surfaces for links are spatial surfaces. In this paper, we…

Given a $K$-vector space $V$, let $\sigma(V,K)$ denote the covering number, i.e. the smallest (cardinal) number of proper subspaces whose union covers $V$. Analogously, define $\sigma(M,R)$ for a module $M$ over a unital commutative ring…

Moraga and Yeong conjectured that for a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$, an ample line bundle $A$ on $X$ and an integer $m \ge 3 n + 1$, very general elements of the adjoint linear system $|\omega_{X} \otimes…

The moduli space $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ of stable rational n-pointed curves has divisorial boundary with simple normal crossings. In this brief note I observe that the dual complex is a flag complex; that is, a collection of irreducible boundary…

Suppose $S$ is a closed, oriented surface of genus at least two. This paper investigates the geometry of the homology multicurve complex, $\mathcal{HC}(S,\alpha)$, of $S$; a complex closely related to complexes studied by…

Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group, $\alg{g}$ be its Lie algebra, $K$ be a maximal compact form of $G$ and $\alg{k}$ be a Lie algebra of $K$. We denote by $X\rightarrow \overline{X}$ the anti-involution of $\alg{g}$ which singles out the…

Let $M$ be a $n$-dimensional complex manifold and $f,g:M\to M$ two distinct holomorphic self-maps. Suppose that $f$ and $g$ coincide on a globally irreducible compact hypersurface $S\subset M$. We show that if one of the two maps is a local…

A classical combinatorial fact is that the simplicial complex consisting of disjointly embedded chords in a convex planar polygon is a sphere. For any surface F with non-empty boundary, there is an analogous complex Arc(F) consisting of…

A system of simple closed curves on a surface of genus $g$ is said to be sparse if their average pairwise intersection number does not exceed one. We show that the maximal size of a sparse curve systems grows roughly like a function of type…

The minimal surface equation $Q$ in the second order contact bundle of $R^3$, modulo translations, is provided with a complex structure and a canonical vector-valued holomorphic differential form $Omega$ on $Q\0$. The minimal surfaces $M$…

In this paper we consider the topological class, denoted by AV2, of universal covering maps from the plane to the sphere with two removed points. We prove that an element f in AV2 with finite post-singular set is combinatorially equivalent…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and…

We give an explicit upper bound for the algebraic degree and an explicit lower bound for the absolute value of the minimum of a polynomial function on a compact connected component of a basic closed semialgebraic set when this minimum is…

In the papers from Chui and Parnes (1971) and Luh (1972), as well on the paper from V.Nestoridis (1996) on the Universal Taylor series, it is used, without proof, that the union of two compact sets in $\mathbb{R} ^2$ with connected…

A set of proper subgroups is a covering for a group if its union is the whole group. The minimal number of subgroups needed to cover $G$ is called the covering number of $G$, denoted by $\sigma(G)$. Determining $\sigma(G)$ is an open…

We give an explicit construction of any simply-connected superconformal surface $\phi\colon M^2\to \R^4$ in Euclidean space in terms of a pair of conjugate minimal surfaces $g,h\colon M^2\to\R^4$. That $\phi$ is superconformal means that…

We say that a tiling separates discs of a packing in the Euclidean plane, if each tile contains exactly one member of the packing. It is a known elementary geometric problem to show that for each locally finite packing of circular discs,…
