Let P be a convex polytope containing the origin, whose dual is a lattice polytope. Hibi's Palindromic Theorem tells us that if P is also a lattice polytope then the Ehrhart $\delta$-vector of P is palindromic. Perhaps less well-known is…

We consider facet-Hamiltonian cycles of polytopes, defined as cycles in their skeleton such that every facet is visited exactly once. These cycles can be understood as optimal watchman routes that guard the facets of a polytope. We consider…

Hamiltonian systems with functionally dependent constraints (irregular systems), for which the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable, are discussed. They are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the…

Generic Kerr orbits exhibit intricate three-dimensional motion. We offer a classification scheme for these intricate orbits in terms of periodic orbits. The crucial insight is that for a given effective angular momentum $L$ and angle of…

Among reduced Noetherian prime characteristic commutative rings, we prove that a regular ring is precisely one where finite intersection of ideals commutes with taking bracket powers. However, reducedness is essential for this equivalence.…

An analytic reversible Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom is studied in a neighborhood of its symmetric heteroclinic connection made up of a symmetric saddle-center, a symmetric orientable saddle periodic orbit lying in the same…

We study the set of periods of degree 1 continuous maps from sigma into itself, where sigma denotes the space shaped like the letter sigma (i.e., a segment attached to a circle by one of its endpoints). Since the maps under consideration…

In this text we study billiards on ovals and investigate some consequences of a rotational symmetry of the boundary on the dynamics. As it simplifies some calculations, the symmetry helps to obtain the results. We focus on periodic orbits…

Analytical perturbations of a family of finite-dimensional Poisson systems are considered. It is shown that the family is analytically orbitally conjugate in $U \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ to a planar harmonic oscillator defined on the symplectic…

Given a set $S$ of elements in a number field $k$, we discuss the existence of planar algebraic curves over $k$ which possess rational points whose $x$-coordinates are exactly the elements of $S$. If the size $|S|$ of $S$ is either $4,5$,…

Consider a commutative monoid $(M,+,0)$ and a biadditive binary operation $\mu \colon M \times M \to M$. We will show that under some additional general assumptions, the operation $\mu$ is automatically both associative and commutative. The…

For a sequence $\gamma=(\gamma_n)_{n\ge 1}$, define \[ L_\gamma(z):=\sum_{n\ge 1}\gamma_n\frac{z^n}{1-z^n} =\sum_{n\ge 1}\Bigl(\sum_{d\mid n}\gamma_d\Bigr)z^n. \] We prove a short rigidity theorem: if $\gamma$ is eventually linearly…

A set $R\subset \mathbb{N}$ is called rational if it is well-approximable by finite unions of arithmetic progressions. Examples of rational sets include many classical sets of number-theoretical origin such as the set of squarefree numbers,…

Let $X$ be a compact Kaehler manifold and $E\to X$ a principal $K$ bundle, where $K$ is a compact connected Lie group. Let ${\cal A}^{1,1}$ be the set of connections on $E$ whose curvature lies in $\Omega^{1,1}(E\times_{Ad} {\frak k})$,…

We study structural limitations of purely algebraic reasoning in the analysis of arithmetic dynamical systems. Rather than addressing the truth of specific conjectures, we introduce a fragment - relative notion of algebraic refutability for…

We consider a homoclinic orbit to a saddle fixed point of an arbitrary $C^\infty$ map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and study the phenomenon that $f$ has an infinite family of asymptotically stable, single-round periodic solutions. From classical…

We consider the dynamics of `nonlinear tent maps': piecewise smooth unimodal maps with nowhere vanishing derivative. We show that if a nonlinear tent map $f$ is not infinitely renormalizable, then all its periodic orbits of sufficiently…

We study discrete-time random dynamical systems where each fibre map is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that the existence of a random periodic cycle with period at least two implies that the random rotation…

In this paper, at first we introduce a sufficient condition for a rational unknotted Reeb orbit $\gamma$ in a lens space to be elliptic by using the rational self-linking number $sl_{\xi}^{\mathbb{Q}}(\gamma)$ and the Conley-Zehnder index…
