A discrete d-manifold is a finite simple graph G=(V,E) where all unit spheres are (d-1)-spheres. A d-sphere is a d-manifold for which one can remove a vertex to make it contractible. A graph is contractible if one can remove a vertex with…

Let $\mathcal R$ be a ring, $\mathcal{M}$ be a $\mathcal R$-bimodule and $m,n$ be two fixed nonnegative integers with $m+n\neq0$. An additive mapping $\delta$ from $\mathcal R$ into $\mathcal{M}$ is called an \emph{$(m,n)$-Jordan…

The multiplicity (resp. degree) of a function $f$ relative to a semianalytic subset $S$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the greatest (resp. smallest) exponent among numbers $j$ such that the inequality $|f(x)|\leq C\|x\|^j$ holds on $S$ near $0$…

For a polynomial $P$ of degree $n$ and an $m$-tuple $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m)$ of distinct complex numbers, the dope matrix of $P$ with respect to $\Lambda$ is $D_P(\Lambda)=(\delta_{ij})_{i\in [1,m],j\in[0,n]}$, where…

Let J and J* be subsets of Z+ such that 0,1\in J and 0\in J*. For infinitely many n, let k=(k_1,..., k_n) be a vector of nonnegative integers whose sum M is even. We find an asymptotic expression for the number of multigraphs on the vertex…

We consider the bipartite version of the {\it degree/diameter problem}, namely, given natural numbers $d\ge2$ and $D\ge2$, find the maximum number $\N^b(d,D)$ of vertices in a bipartite graph of maximum degree $d$ and diameter $D$. In this…

Let $F\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ and $m\ge2$ be an integer. A set $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is called an $(F,m)$-Diophantine set if $F(a,b)$ is a perfect $m$-power for any $a,b\in A$ where $a\ne b$. If $F$ is a bivariate polynomial for which there…

We determine those smooth $n$--dimensional closed manifolds with $n \geq 4$ which admit round fold maps into ${\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}$, i.e.\ fold maps whose critical value sets consist of disjoint spheres of dimension $n-2$ isotopic to…

In this paper, we prove that a metric measure space which has at least one open set isometric to an interval, and for which the (possibly non-unique) optimal transport map exists from any absolutely continuous measure to an arbitrary…

We study M(n), the number of distinct values taken by multinomial coefficients with upper entry n, and some closely related sequences. We show that both pP(n)/M(n) and M(n)/p(n) tend to zero as n goes to infinity, where pP(n) is the number…

The algebraic degree $Deg(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the dimension of the splitting field of the adjacency polynomial of $G$ over the field $\mathbb{Q}$. It can be shown that for every positive integer $d$, there exists a circulant graph with…

Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…

Given a finite non-decreasing sequence $d=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ of natural numbers, the Graph Realization problem asks whether $d$ is a graphic sequence, i.e., there exists a labeled simple graph such that $(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ is the degree…

For each integer q>0 there is a cohomology theory such that the zero cohomology group of a manifold N of dimension n is a certain group of cobordism classes of proper fold maps of manifolds of dimension n+q into N. We prove a splitting…

Let $M = (m_{ij})$ be an $n \times n$ square matrix of integers. For our purposes, we can assume without loss of generality that $M$ is homogeneous and that the entries are non-increasing going leftward and downward. Let $d$ be the sum of…

In this paper, we provide a negative solution to Problem 3 formulated by P.~Odifreddi in his survey articles \textit{``Strong Reducibilities''} (1981) and \textit{``Reducibilities''} (1999). The problem asks whether every computably…

We consider proper holomorphic maps of ball complements and differences in complex euclidean spaces of dimension at least two. Such maps are always rational, which naturally leads to a related problem of classifying rational maps taking…

We restate the semistable reduction theorem from geometric invariant theory in the context of spaces of morphisms on $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. For every complete curve $C$ downstairs, we get a $\mathbb{P}^{n}$-bundle on an abstract curve $D$…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $n$ a positive integer. Let $I_n(G)$ be the abstract simplicial complex whose simplices are the subsets of $V$ that do not contain an independent set of size $n$ in $G$. We study the collapsibility numbers of…

Given a base $b$, a "digit map" is a map $f: \mathbb{Z}^{\ge 0} \to \mathbb{Z}^{\ge 0}$ of the form $f(\sum_{i=0}^n a_ib^i) = \sum_{i=0}^n f_*(a_i)$, $0 \le a_i \le b-1$ for each $i$, where $f_* : \{0,1,\dots, b-1\} \to \mathbb{Z}^{\ge 0}$…
