We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite point set $S$ in the plane in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is $S$ and which can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that every sufficiently…

For an integer $n\geq 7$, we investigate the matroid realization space of a specific deformation of the regular $n$-gon along with its lines of symmetry. It turns out that this particular realization space is birational to the elliptic…

The operation of transforming one spanning tree into another by replacing an edge has been considered widely, both for general and planar straight-line graphs. For the latter, several variants have been studied (e.g., edge slides and edge…

A graph $\Gamma$ is basic if Aut$\Gamma$ has no normal subgroup $N\ne1$ such that $\Gamma$ is a normal cover of the normal quotient graph $\Gamma_N$. In this paper, we completely determine the basic normal quotient graphs of all connected…

We show that for almost every translation surface the number of pairs of saddle connections with bounded magnitude of the cross product has asymptotic growth like $c R^2$ where the constant $c$ depends only on the area and the connected…

In this note, we treat a pair of a K3 surface and a non-symplectic automorphism of order 7m (m=1, 3 and 6) on it. We show that if the fixed locus of a non-symplectic automorphism order 7 is "special" then the pair is unique up to…

It is demonstrated that point symmetry algebras of general analytic second order ODEs, not necessary of principal type, can have all dimensions between 0 and 8 except for 7. For the symmetry dimension 8 the ODE must be locally…

Recently the long-standing puzzle about counting the Witten index in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories was resolved. The resolution was based on existence (for higher orthogonal $SO(N), N \geq 7$ and exceptional gauge groups) of flat…

Planes are familiar mathematical objects which lie at the subtle boundary between continuous geometry and discrete combinatorics. A plane is geometrical, certainly, but the ways that two planes can interact break cleanly into discrete sets:…

Motivated by the embedding problem of canonical models in small codimension, we extend Severi's double point formula to the case of surfaces with rational double points, and we give more general double point formulae for varieties with…

We generalize the joints problem to sets of varieties and prove almost sharp bound on the number of joints. As a special case, given a set of $N$ $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^6$, the number of points at which three $2$-planes intersect and…

A surface that is the pointwise sum of circles in Euclidean space is either coplanar or contains no more than 2 circles through a general point. A surface that is the pointwise product of circles in the unit-quaternions contains either 2,…

We prove that every $n$ vertex linear triple system with $m$ edges has at least $m^6/n^7$ copies of a pentagon, provided $m>100 \, n^{3/2}$. This provides the first nontrivial bound for a question posed by Jiang and Yepremyan. More…

It is known that for every spatial complete graph on $n\ge 7$ vertices, the summation of the second coefficients of the Conway polynomials over the Hamiltonian knots is congruent to $r_{n}$ modulo $(n-5)!$, where $r_{n} = (n-5)!/2$ if…

When the boundary of a familiar object is shown by a series of isolated dots, humans can often recognize the object with ease. This ability can be sustained with addition of distracting dots around the object. However, such capability has…

Kelly's theorem states that a set of $n$ points affinely spanning $\mathbb{C}^3$ must determine at least one ordinary complex line (a line passing through exactly two of the points). Our main theorem shows that such sets determine at least…

For a positive integer $n\geq 3$, the sides and diagonals of a convex $n$-gon divide the interior of the convex $n$-gon into finitely (polynomial in $n$) many regions bounded by them. In this article, we associate to every region a unique…

Given a convex domain $C$, a $C$-polygon is an intersection of $n\geq 2$ homothets of $C$. If the homothets are translates of $C$ then we call the intersection a translative $C$-polygon. This paper proves that if $C$ is a strictly convex…

This purpose of this paper is to prove the following result: let phi be a strictly convex, smooth, convex body in the Euclidean plane, if the intersection of n translates of phi has a non-empty interior, and all of the translates contribute…

What is the maximum number of intersections of the boundaries of a simple $m$-gon and a simple $n$-gon, assuming general position? This is a basic question in combinatorial geometry, and the answer is easy if at least one of $m$ and $n$ is…
