Let n be a positive integer and c an n-tuple of natural numbers. A convex set in Euclidean n-space given by a family of linear relations in the elements of c and depending on their natural order is defined. The extremal elements of this…

We study certain points significant for the hyperbolic geometry of the unit disk. We give explicit formulas for the intersection points of the Euclidean lines and the stereographic projections of great circles of the Riemann sphere passing…

Families of oriented lines in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ are studied via their identification with submanifolds of $T\mathbb{S}^n$. In particular, families of oriented lines which are orthogonal to submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ are shown to…

We describe the positive cone generated by bigraded Betti diagrams of artinian modules of codimension two, whose resolutions become pure of a given type when taking total degrees. If the differences of these total degrees, p and q, are…

We consider the problem of comparing the volumes of two star bodies in an even-dimensional euclidean space $\mathbb R^{2n} = \mathbb C^n$ by comparing their cross sectional areas along complex lines (special 2-dimensional real planes)…

In this paper we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. We pay special attention to fixed point sets of type-preserving isometries of spherical buildings. This sets are also convex subcomplexes of the natural polyhedral structure…

We prove that the number of geometrically indecomposable representations of fixed dimension vector d of a canonical algebra C defined over a finite field Fq is given by a polynomial in q (depending on C and d). We prove a similar result for…

The $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture asserts that every matching of $Q_d$, $d\ge 2$, can be…

Sets of orthogonal basis functions over two-dimensional circular areas--most often representing pupils in optical applications--are known in the literature for the full circle (Zernike or Jacobi polynomials) and the annulus. This work…

We explore offsets of Cayley ovals, by networking with different kinds of software. Using their specific abilities, algebraic, geometric, dynamic, we conjecture interesting properties of the offsets. For a given progenitor (the given plane…

This work focuses on higgledy-piggledy sets of $k$-subspaces in $\text{PG}(N,q)$, i.e. sets of projective subspaces that are 'well-spread-out'. More precisely, the set of intersection points of these $k$-subspaces with any $(N-k)$-subspace…

We introduce the notion of a symmetric basis of a vector space equipped with a quadratic form, and provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence to such a basis. Symmetric bases are then used to study Cayley graphs of…

The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. The main result is twofold: (1) we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the…

We show that the 2-Segal spaces (also called decomposition spaces) of Dyckerhoff-Kapranov and G\'alvez-Kock-Tonks have a natural analogue within simplicial sets, which we call quasi-2-Segal sets, and that the two ideas enjoy a similar…

Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe…

A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…

We define Cayley structures as a field of Cayley's ruled cubic surfaces over a four dimensional manifold and motivate their study by showing their similarity to indefinite conformal structures and their link to differential equations. In…

Let $\cS_n(\psi_1,...,\psi_n)$ denote the set of simultaneously $(\psi_1,...,\psi_n)$--approximable points in $\R^n$ and $\cSM_n(\psi)$ denote the set of multiplicatively $\psi$--approximable points in $\R^n$. Let $\cM$ be a manifold in…

The dimension of the visible part of self-affine sets, that satisfy domination and a projection condition, is being studied. The main result is that the assouad dimension of the visible part equals to 1 for all directions outside the set of…

The purpose of this note is to characterize those orthogonal polynomials sequences $(P_n)_{n\geq0}$ for which $$ \pi(x)\mathcal{D}_q P_n(x)=(a_n x+b_n)P_n(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x),\quad n=0,1,2,\dots, $$ where $\mathcal{D}_q$ is the Askey-Wilson…
