Extremal problems involving the enumeration of graph substructures have a long history in graph theory. For example, the number of independent sets in a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices is at most $(2^{d+1}-1)^{n/2d}$ by the Kahn-Zhao…

Assume D is a simplicial sphere, and k_1 is a field. We say that D is generically anisotropic over k_1 if, for a certain purely transcendental field extension k of k_1, a certain Artinian reduction A of the Stanley-Reisner ring k[D] has the…

We show that two of the Bryant-Salamon G_2-manifolds have a simple topology ; homeomorphic to the complement of some submanifolds of the 7-dimensional sphere. In this connection, we show there exists a complete Ricci-flat (non-flat) metric…

We present some new Sobolev inequalities on spheres corresponding to parabolic geometries of real rank-one semisimple Lie groups

Let $G$ be a finite simple connected graph on the vertex set $V(G)=[d]=\{1,\dots ,d\}$, with edge set $E(G)=\{e_{1},\dots , e_{n}\}$. Let $K[\mathbf{t}]=K[t_{1},\dots , t_{d}]$ be the polynomial ring in $d$ variables over a field $K$. The…

A $(d-1)$-dimensional simplicial complex is called balanced if its underlying graph admits a proper $d$-coloring. We show that many well-known face enumeration results have natural balanced analogs (or at least conjectural analogs).…

We consider some second order quasilinear partial differential inequalities for real valued functions on the unit ball and find conditions under which there is a lower bound for the supremum of nonnegative solutions that do not vanish at…

For fixed $d\geq 3$, we construct subsets of the $d$-dimensional lattice cube $[n]^d$ of size $n^{\frac{3}{d + 1} - o(1)}$ with no $d+2$ points on a sphere or a hyperplane. This improves the previously best known bound of…

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…

We consider degree-d forms on the Euclidean unit sphere. We specialize to our setting a genericity result by Nie obtained in a more general framework. We exhibit an homogeneous polynomial Res in the coefficients of f , such that if Res(f) =…

We consider hypersurfaces with boundary in $\mathbb{R}^N$ that are the critical points of the fractional area introduced by Paroni, Podio-Guidugli, and Seguin in [R. Paroni, P. Podio-Guidugli, B. Seguin, 2018]. In particular, we study the…

We study the existence and structure of $d$-polytopes for which the number $f_1$ of edges is small compared to the number $f_0$ of vertices. Our results are more elegantly expressed in terms of the excess degree of the polytope, defined as…

We introduce a class of minimal submanfolds $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, in spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ that are ruled by totally geodesic spheres of dimension $n-2$. If simply-connected, such a submanifold admits a one-parameter associated family of…

We prove that for any prime homology $(d-1)$-sphere $\Delta$ of dimension $d-1\geq 3$ and any edge $e\in S$, the graph $G(\Delta)-e$ is generically $d$-rigid. This confirms a conjecture of Nevo and Novinsky.

Let $d \geq 4$ be a natural number and let $A$ be a finite, non-empty subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $A$ is not contained in a translate of a hyperplane. In this setting, we show that \[ |A-A| \geq \bigg(2d - 2 + \frac{1}{d-1} \bigg)…

In this paper we establish a gap phenomenon for immersed surfaces with arbitrary codimension, topology and boundaries that satisfy one of a family of systems of fourth-order anisotropic geometric partial differential equations. Examples…

We show that there are $f$-vectors of balanced simplicial complexes giving a source of simplicial complexes exhibiting a Boolean decomposition similar to a geometric Lefschetz decomposition. The objects we are working with are $h$-vectors…

We establish a geometric framework by transforming a graph $G$ into a $(d-1)$-dimensional CW complex $U^{d-1}(G)$. This construction is achieved by systematically attaching $i$-spheres ($2 \le i \le d-1$) to $G$ according to specific rules,…

A recent conjecture of Chudnovsky and Nevo asserts that flag triangulations of spheres always have linear-sized independent sets, with a precisely conjectured proportion depending on the dimension. For dimensions one and two, the lower…
