The generalized Oberwolfach problem asks for a decomposition of a graph $G$ into specified 2-regular spanning subgraphs $F_1,\ldots, F_k$, called factors. The classic Oberwolfach problem corresponds to the case when all of the factors are…

We extend the Oprea's result $G_1(\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}/H)=\mathcal{Z}H$ to the 1st generalized Gottlieb group $G_1^f(\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}/H)$ for a map $f\colon A\to \mathbb{S}^{2n+1}/H$. Then, we compute or estimate the groups…

We prove that any quasirandom dense large graph in which all degrees are equal and even can be decomposed into any given collection of two-factors (2-regular spanning subgraphs). A special case of this result gives a new solution to the…

The double Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation is studied, i.e. a generic two-parametric unfolding of a smooth Hamiltonian system with four degrees of freedom which has at the critical value of parameters the equilibrium with two pairs of double…

The geometric Hopf invariant of a stable map F is a stable Z_2-equivariant map h(F) such that the stable Z_2-equivariant homotopy class of h(F) is the primary obstruction to F being homotopic to an unstable map. In this paper we express the…

For ${\cal N}=2^*$ theory with $U(N)$ gauge group we evaluate expectation values of Wilson loops in representations described by a rectangular Young tableau with $n$ rows and $k$ columns. The evaluation reduces to a two-matrix model and we…

For every $2$-regular graph $F$ of order $v$, the Oberwolfach problem $OP(F)$ asks whether there is a $2$-factorization of $K_v$ ($v$ odd) or $K_v$ minus a $1$-factor ($v$ even) into copies of $F$. Posed by Ringel in 1967 and extensively…

For any natural numbers $k \leq n$, the rational cohomology ring of the space of continuous maps $S^{2k-1} \to S^{2n-1}$ (respectively, $S^{4k-1} \to S^{4n-1}$) equivariant under the Hopf action of the circle (respectively, of the group…

This paper studies the underlying combinatorial structure of a class of object rearrangement problems, which appear frequently in applications. The problems involve multiple, similar-geometry objects placed on a flat, horizontal surface,…

Baumslag-Solitar groups were introduced in 1962 by Baumslag and Solitar as examples for finitely presented non-Hopfian two-generator groups. Since then, they served as examples for a wide range of purposes. As Baumslag-Solitar groups are…

Hip-Hop solutions of the $2N$-body problem are solutions that satisfy at every instance of time, that the $2N$ bodies with the same mass $m$, are at the vertices of two regular $N$-gons, each one of these $N$-gons are at planes that are…

We present a generalization of the marriage problem underlying Hall's famous Marriage Theorem to what we call the Symmetric Marriage Problem, a problem that can be thought of as a special case of Maximal Weighted Bipartite Matching. We show…

Counting homomorphisms between cyclic groups is a common exercise in a first course in abstract algebra. A similar problem, accessible at the same level, is to count the number of group homomorphisms from a dihedral group of order $2m$ into…

Let $G: S^{4n-1} \rightarrow S^{2n}$ be a map with nonzero Hopf Invariant. Using the generalized Hopf invariant introduced by Haj\l{}asz, Schikorra and Tyson, we show that any null-homotopy $F: B^{4n} \rightarrow B^{2n+1}$ of $G$ with small…

Multiple orthogonal polynomials are a generalization of orthogonal polynomials in which the orthogonality is distributed among a number of orthogonality weights. They appear in random matrix theory in the form of special determinantal point…

Turing bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are two important kinds of transitions giving birth to inhomogeneous solutions, in spatial or temporal ways. On a disk, these two bifurcations may lead to equivariant Turing-Hopf bifurcations. In this…

Double Hopf bifurcation analysis can be used to reveal some complicated dynamical behavior in a dynamical system, such as the existence or coexistence of periodic orbits, quasi-periodic orbits, or even chaos. In this paper, an algorithm for…

Coupled oscillator models where $N$ oscillators are identical and symmetrically coupled to all others with full permutation symmetry $S_N$ are found in a variety of applications. Much, but not all, work on phase descriptions of such systems…

We introduce a generalization of Weinstein's morphism, defined on \pi_{2k-1}(Ham(M,\omega)) for 1 < k \leq n, where (M,\omega) is a 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold. Using this morphism, we show that for n > 1 and 1 < k \leq n, the…
