In earlier papers we introduced a representation of isotopy classes of compact surfaces embedded in the three-sphere by so called rectangular diagrams. The formalism proved useful for comparing Legendrian knots. The aim of this paper is to…

Our main theorem is an extension of the well-known Mizoguchi-Takahaashi's fixed point theorem [N. Mizogochi and W. Takahashi, Fixed point theorems for multi-valued mappings on complete metric space, {\it J. Math. Anal. Appl.} 141 (1989)…

The Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation problem of a function given on arbitrarily distributed points on the sphere and other manifolds is considered. Each proposed interpolant is expressed as a linear combination of basis functions, the…

We prove an analogue in Arakelov geometry of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

We give an alternative proof of Madsen-Weiss' generalized Mumford conjecture. Our proof is based on ideas similar to Madsen-Weiss' original proof, but it is more geometrical and less homotopy theoretical in nature. At the heart of the…

This note is an invitation to the theory of geometric functions. The foundation techniques and some of the developments in the field are explained with the mindset that the audience is principally young researchers wishing to understand…

This expository note presents a constructive proof of Wigner's theorem using only a few basic facts about Hilbert spaces, such as the existence of orthonormal bases and the Fourier decomposition of a vector. Our proof is based on a proof by…

Combining the tools of geometric analysis with properties of Jordan angles and angle space distributions, we derive a spherical and a Euclidean Bernstein theorem for minimal submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension, under the…

We introduce the Hoffman-Singleton manifold based on some specific subgraph of the Hoffman-Singleton graph. This manifold is motivated in a combinatorial fashion, and it is defined rigorously in geometric terms. We also present a few…

The Riemann-Roch theorem is of utmost importance in the algebraic geometric theory of compact Riemann surfaces. It tells us how many linearly independent meromorphic functions there are having certain restrictions on their poles. The aim of…

This expository paper focuses on free Lie $K$-algebras and the basic PBW theorem. We argue in various ways that the basic PBW theorem is a quite close consequence of the Magnus-Witt theorems concerning free Lie algebras.

We state the fundamental theorem of projective geometry for semimodules over semirings, which is facilitated by recent work in the study of bases in semimodules defined over semirings. In the process we explore in detail the linear algebra…

In this note, we present a simple non-directed graph proof of Sharkovsky's theorem which is different from the one given in [2].

This text is a survey of derived algebraic geometry. It covers a variety of general notions and results from the subject with a view on the recent developments at the interface with deformation quantization.

We provide elementary proof of several congruences involving single sum and multisums of binomial coefficients.

We give a geometric approach to the proof of the $\lambda$-lemma. In particular, we point out the role pseudoconvexity plays in the proof.

Hopf's ratio ergodic theorem has an inherent symmetry which we exploit to provide a simplification of standard proofs of Hopf's and Birkhoff's ergodic theorems. We also present a ratio ergodic theorem for conservative transformations on a…

One of the most famous results in Complex Analysis is the Little Picard Theorem, that characterizes the image set of an arbitrary entire function. Specifically, the theorem states that this image set is either the whole complex plane or the…

It is shown that every linear strong Birkhoff-James isomorphism between unital $C^*$-algebras is a $*$-isomorphism followed by a unitary multiplication. Moreover, as a partial extension of this result to the non-unital case, the form of…

This paper constructs a Riemann surface associated to the icosahedron and discusses the geodesics associated to a flat metric on this surface. Because of the icosahedral symmetry, this is a distinguished special case of the example treated…
