A strict lower bound for the diameter of a symmetric graph is proposed, which is calculable with the order $n$ and other local parameters of the graph such as the degree $k\,(\geq 3)$, even girth $g\,(\geq 4)$, and number of $g$-cycles…
In this paper we show the existence of a closed, embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$. The hypersurface is diffeomorhic to $\mathbb{S}^{n-1} \times \mathbb{S}^{n-1} \times \mathbb{S}^1$ and exhibits $SO(n)…
Motivated by problems involving triangle-decompositions of graphs, we examine the facet structure of the cone $\tau_n$ of weighted graphs on $n$ vertices generated by triangles. Our results include enumeration of facets for small $n$, a…
Eisenbud and Harris conjectured in 1982 that an algebraic curve of high genus lies on a surface of low degree (which they proved for curves of very large degree). They observed constraints on the Hilbert function of a general hyperplane…
Associated to any hypergraph is a toric ideal encoding the algebraic relations among its edges. We study these ideals and the combinatorics of their minimal generators, and derive general degree bounds for both uniform and non-uniform…
The main theme of this paper is to use toric degeneration to produce distinct homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We focus on the (complex $n$-dimensional) quadric hypersurface and the del Pezzo surfaces,…
This thesis captures the ongoing development of twisted cubes, which is a modification of cubes (in a topological sense) where its homotopy type theory does not require paths or higher paths to be invertible. My original motivation to…
The geometry of the Heisenberg group acting on the plane arises naturally in geometric topology as a degeneration of the familiar spaces $\mathbb{S}^2,\mathbb{H}^2$ and $\mathbb{E}^2$ via conjugacy limit as defined by Cooper, Danciger, and…
This research monograph focuses on the arithmetic, over number fields, of surfaces fibred into curves of genus 1 over the projective line, and of intersections of two quadrics in projective space. The first half takes up and develops…
We introduce a simple method for proving lower bounds for the size of the smallest percolating set in a certain graph bootstrap process. We apply this method to determine the sizes of the smallest percolating sets in multidimensional tori…
We explicitly find the minima as well as the minimum points of the geodesic length functions for the family of filling (hence non-simple) closed curves, $a^2b^n$ ($n\ge 3$), on a complete one-holed hyperbolic torus in its relative…
Our first main result is a uniform bound, in every dimension $k \in \mathbb N$, on the topological Tur\'an numbers of $k$-dimensional simplicial complexes: for each $k \in \mathbb N$, there is a $\lambda_k \ge k^{-2k^2}$ such that for any…
Let $R$ be a Noetherian commutative ring of positive dimension. The Hochster-Huneke graph of $R$ (sometimes called the dual graph of Spec $R$ and denoted by $\mathcal{G} (R)$) is defined as follows: the vertices are the minimal prime ideals…
Consider a $3$-uniform hypergraph of order $n$ with clique number $k$ such that the intersection of all its $k$-cliques is empty. Szemer\'edi and Petruska proved $n\leq 8m^2+3m$, for fixed $m=n-k$, and they conjectured the sharp bound…
An interesting class of orthogonal representations consists of the so-called turn-regular ones, i.e., those that do not contain any pair of reflex corners that "point to each other" inside a face. For such a representation H it is possible…
We investigate decompositions of a graph into a small number of low diameter subgraphs. Let P(n,\epsilon,d) be the smallest k such that every graph G=(V,E) on n vertices has an edge partition E=E_0 \cup E_1 \cup ... \cup E_k such that |E_0|…
In the early 2000s, Frigerio, Martelli, and Petronio studied $3$-manifolds of smallest combinatorial complexity that admit hyperbolic structures. As part of this work they defined and studied the class $M_{g,k}$ of smallest complexity…
We introduce the following simpler variant of the Tur\'an problem: Given integers $n>k>r\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, what is the smallest integer $t$ for which there exists an $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices, $t$ edges and $m$ connected…
In 1985, Arjeh Cohen and Jacques Tits proved the existence of a 4-cycle-free 2-fold cover of the hypercube. This Cohen-Tits cover is closely related to the signed adjacency matrix that Hao Huang used last year in his proof of the…
The main purpose of this article is to classify contact structures on some 3-manifolds, namely lens spaces, most torus bundles over a circle, the solid torus, and the thickened torus T^2 x [0,1]. This classification completes earlier work…
