A perfect cuboid (PC) is a rectangular parallelepiped with rational sides $a,b,c$ whose face diagonals $d_{ab}$, $d_{bc}$, $d_{ac}$ and space (body) diagonal $d_s$ are rationals. The existence or otherwise of PC is a problem known since at…

On the basis of a recently-proposed method to find solitary solutions of generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equations [1]-[3], the existence of an envelope solitonlike solutions of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation containing an anti-cubic…

A new generalization of Grassmannians, called {\nu}-grassmannians, and a canonical super vector bundle over this new space, say {\Gamma}, are introduced. Then, constructing a Gauss supermap of a super vector bundle, the universal property…

In this paper, we show that in Hilbert space of any finite dimension N, there are N^2 unit vectors which constitute Symmetric Informationally Complete Positive Operator Valued Measure (SIC-POVM).

Studied here is the generalized Benjamin-Ono--Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $u_t+u^pu_x+\alpha\mathscr{H}u_{xx}+\varepsilon u_{xyy}=0, \quad (x,y)\in\rr^2\!,\;\;t\in \rr^+\!$ in two space dimensions. Here, $\mathscr{H}$ is the Hilbert…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $U_1,U_2,\dots$ be a sequence of orthogonal representations in which any irreducible representation of $\oplus_{n \geq 1} U_n$ has infinite multiplicity. Let $V_n=\oplus_{i=1}^n U_n$ and $S(V_n)$ denote the…

For a pair of given binary perfect codes C and D of lengths t and m respectively, the Mollard construction outputs a perfect code M(C,D) of length tm + t + m, having subcodes C1 and D2, that are obtained from codewords of C and D…

We introduce an algebraic formula producing infinitely many exact solutions of the constant astigmatism equation $ z_{yy} + ({1}/{z})_{xx} + 2 = 0 $ from a given seed. A construction of corresponding surfaces of constant astigmatism is then…

We derive a mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation for the problem of finding a convex polygon with a given number of vertices that is small (diameter at most one) and has maximum perimeter. The formulation is based on a geometric…

In 1994, John Cobb asked: given $N>m>k>0$, does there exist a Cantor set in $\mathbb R^N$ such that each of its projections into $m$-planes is exactly $k$-dimensional? Such sets were described for $(N,m,k)=(2,1,1)$ by L.Antoine (1924) and…

The Ehrhart polynomial $ehr_P (n)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ gives the number of integer lattice points in the $n$-th dilate of $P$ for all integers $n\geq 0$. The degree of $P$ is defined as the degree of its $h^\ast$-polynomial, a…

We delineate a procedure to classify 6d N=(1,0) gauge theories composed, in part, of a semi-simple gauge group and hypermultiplets. We classify these theories by requiring that they satisfy some consistency conditions. The primary…

Consider $v$ a Lipschitz unit vector field on $R^n$ and $K$ its Lipschitz constant. We show that the maps $S_s:S_s(X) = X + sv(X)$ are invertible for $0\leq |s|<1/K$ and define nonsingular point transformations. We use these properties to…

We define a notion of entropy for an infinite family $\mathcal{C}$ of measurable sets in a probability space. We show that the mean ergodic theorem holds uniformly for $\mathcal{C}$ under every ergodic transformation if and only if…

Let $X$ be a list of vectors that is totally unimodular. In a previous article the author proved that every real-valued function on the set of interior lattice points of the zonotope defined by $X$ can be extended to a function on the whole…

We show that there exists an absolute constant $c_0<1$ such that for all $n \ge 2$, any measurable set $A \subset S^{n-1}$ of density at least $c_0$ contains $n$ pairwise orthogonal vectors. The result is sharp up to the value of the…

We call the $\delta$-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ flat if the $\delta$-vector is of the form $(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)$, where $a \geq 1$. In this paper, we give the complete characterization of…

A cyclic urn is an urn model for balls of types $0,\ldots,m-1$ where in each draw the ball drawn, say of type $j$, is returned to the urn together with a new ball of type $j+1 \mod m$. The case $m=2$ is the well-known Friedman urn. The…

Zonotopal algebra interweaves algebraic, geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear map X. Of basic significance in this theory is the fact that the algebraic structures are derived from the geometry (via a non-linear…
