This paper constructs (with challenging obstacles) on the three torus with its cubical decomposition: Firstly, a combinatorial graded intersection algebra (graded by the codimension) which is commutative and associative defined by…
In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os proved that if $\mathcal{H}$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which contains no triangulation of the sphere, then $\mathcal{H}$ has at most $O(n^{5/2})$ edges, and this bound is the best possible…
The convex dimension of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is the smallest dimension $d$ for which there is an injective mapping of its vertices into $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that the set of $k$-barycenters of all hyperedges is in convex position. We…
In 1990 Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that for $k\geq 2$, every graph with $n\geq k+1$ vertices and $(k-1)(n-k+2)+\binom{k-2}{2}+1$ edges contains a subgraph of minimum degree $k$ on at most $n-\sqrt{n}/\sqrt{6k^3}$…
The theory of Dvorak, Kral, and Thomas (2015) shows that a 4-critical triangle-free graph embedded in the torus has only a bounded number of faces of length greater than 4 and that the size of these faces is also bounded. We study the…
An n-dimensional Bieberbach group is the fundamental group of a closed flat $n$-dimensional manifold. K. Dekimpe and P. Penninckx conjectured that an n-dimensional Bieberbach group can be generated by n elements. In this paper, we show that…
We give an algorithm to calculate the minimal and maximal genus of the orientable closed surface where a graph $G$ can be embedded. For this, we construct some special branched coverings of the 2-sphere. We apply this algorithm to calculate…
The transversal number $\tau(H)$ of a hypergraph $H$ is the minimum number of vertices that intersect every edge of $H$. A linear hypergraph is one in which every two distinct edges intersect in at most one vertex. A $k$-uniform hypergraph…
Let $Q_k$ denote the $k$-dimensional hypercube on $2^k$ vertices. A vertex in a subgraph of $Q_k$ is {\em full} if its degree is $k$. We apply the Kruskal-Katona Theorem to compute the maximum number of full vertices an induced subgraph on…
The construction of the COMBINATORIAL data for a surface with n vertices of maximal genus is a classical problem: The maximal genus g=[(n-3)(n-4)/12] was achieved in the famous ``Map Color Theorem'' by Ringel et al. (1968). We present the…
We prove the 2-torus $\mathbb T$, an abelian linear algebraic group, is a fine moduli space of labeled, oriented, possibly-degenerate inscribable similarity classes of triangles, where a triangle is {\it inscribable} if it can be inscribed…
For a graph $G$, its \emph{cubicity} $cub(G)$ is the minimum dimension $k$ such that $G$ is representable as the intersection graph of (axis--parallel) cubes in $k$--dimensional space. Chandran, Mannino and Oriolo showed that for a…
We show that there exists a geodesic triangulation $T$ of a hyperbolic genus 2 surface $\Sigma_2$ with 10 vertices and an isometric polyhedral embedding $S: \Sigma_2 \hookrightarrow \mathbb{H}^3$ that sends the triangles in $T$ to geodesic…
A toric arrangement is a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subtori in a torus. These subtori stratify the ambient torus into faces of various dimensions. Let $f_i$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces; these so-called face numbers…
We extend the work of Cremona, Fisher and Stoll on minimising genus one curves of degrees 2,3,4,5, to some of the other representations associated to genus one curves, as studied by Bhargava and Ho. Specifically we describe algorithms for…
We prove a new lower bound for the almost 20 year old problem of determining the smallest possible size of an essential cover of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $\{\pm 1\}^n$, i.e. the smallest possible size of a collection of hyperplanes…
This paper introduces a new variant of hypercubes, which we call Z-cubes. The n-dimensional Z-cube $H_n$ is obtained from two copies of the (n-1)-dimensional Z-cube $H_{n-1}$ by adding a special perfect matching between the vertices of…
We consider $(1,1)$-surfaces, namely, minimal compact complex surfaces $S$ with $p_g (S) =K_S^2=1$: for these the bicanonical map is a covering of degree $4$ of the plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. And we answer a question posed by Meng Chen, whether…
How can we visualize all the surfaces that can be made from the faces of the tesseract? In recent work, Aveni, Govc, and Rold\'an showed that the torus and the sphere are the only closed surfaces that can be realized by a subset of…
We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…
