For a planar integral lattice $L$, let $\nu(L)$ denote the square-free part of the integer $D(L)^2$, where $D(L)$ stands for the area of a fundamental parallelogram of $L$. For each odd integer $n$ with $3 \leq n<29$, a planar lattice $L$…

We study the existence of equilateral triangles of given side lengths and with integer coordinates in dimension three. We show that such a triangle exists if and only if their side lengths are of the form $\sqrt{2(m^2-mn+n^2)}$ for some…

We study the question of whether for each n there is another integer m with lambda(m)=lambda(n), where lambda is Carmichael's function. We give a "near" proof of the fact that this is the case unconditionally, and a complete conditional…

We use a greedy probabilistic method to prove that for every $\epsilon > 0$, every $m\times n$ Latin rectangle on $n$ symbols has an orthogonal mate, where $m=(1-\epsilon)n$. That is, we show the existence of a second Latin rectangle such…

We classify the unimodular equivalence classes of inclusion-minimal polygons with a certain fixed lattice width. As a corollary, we find a sharp upper bound on the number of lattice points of these minimal polygons.

A series of integral lattices parametrised by integers $k,m,n$ are introduced and investigated, where $n$ is the rank of the lattice, including the root lattices described in a uniform way and unimodular lattices such as the Niemeier…

Let $L$ be any integral lattice in the 2-dimensional Euclidean space. Generalizing the earlier works of Hiroshi Maehara and others, we prove that for every integer $n>0$, there is a circle in the plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ that passes through…

We study the uniform distribution of the polynomial sequence $\lambda(P)=(\lfloor P(k) \rfloor )_{k\geq 1}$ modulo integers, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. In the nonlinear case, we show that $\lambda(P)$ is uniformly…

Two latin squares are orthogonal if, when they are superimposed, every ordered pair of symbols appears exactly once. This definition extends naturally to `incomplete' latin squares each having a hole on the same rows, columns, and symbols.…

For a positive integer $n\ge 3$, the collection of $n$-sided polygons embedded in $3$-space defines the space of geometric knots. We will consider the subspace of equilateral knots, consisting of embedded $n$-sided polygons with unit length…

A lattice equable quadrilateral is a quadrilateral in the plane whose vertices lie on the integer lattice and which is equable in the sense that its area equals its perimeter. This paper treats the tangential and extangential cases. We show…

We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…

Let $P_{\lambda\Sigma_n}$ be the Ehrhart polynomial associated to an intergal multiple $\lambda$ of the standard symplex $\Sigma_n \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove that if $(M, L)$ is an $n$-dimensional polarized toric manifold…

Let $G$ and $G'$ be simple Lie groups of equal real rank and real rank at least $2$. Let $\Gamma <G$ and $\Lambda < G'$ be non-uniform lattices. We prove a theorem that often implies that any quasi-isometric embedding of $\Gamma$ into…

This paper studies equable parallelograms whose vertices lie on the integer lattice. Using Rosenberger's Theorem on generalised Markov equations, we show that the g.c.d. of the side lengths of such parallelograms can only be 3, 4 or 5, and…

We derive a formula for the number of flip-equivalence classes of tilings of an $n$-gon by collections of tiles of shape dictated by an integer partition $\lambda$. The proof uses the Euler-Poincar\'e formula; and the formula itself…

We discuss generalizations of some results on lattice polygons to certain piecewise linear loops which may have a self-intersection but have vertices in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We first prove a formula on the rotation number of a…

We analyze the polynomial solutions of a nonlinear integral equation, generalizing the work of C. Bender and E. Ben-Naim. We show that, in some cases, an orthogonal solution exists and we give its general form in terms of kernel…

In 2018, Sz\"{o}ll\H{o}si and \"{O}sterg\r{a}rd used a computer to enumerate sets of equiangular lines with common angle $\arccos(1/3)$ in dimension $7$. They observed that the numbers $\omega(n)$ of sets of $n$ equiangular lines with…
