We generalize the patterns of supercongruences of Ramanujan-type observed by L. Van Hamme and W. Zudilin to series involving simple square roots anywhere and not only in the result of the sum. To support our observations we give some…
A smooth Hermitian surface $X$ is a projective surface isomorphic to the Fermat surface of degree $q+1$ in positive characteristic. We study incidence relations of the rational curves of degree $q+1$ contained in $X$, and show that such…
As a variant of the famous Tur\'an problem, we study $\mathrm{rex}(n,F)$, the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex regular graph can have without containing a copy of $F$. We determine $\mathrm{rex}(n,K_{r+1})$ for all pairs of…
We give a simple unified proof for all existing rational hypergeometric Ramanujan identities for $1/\pi$, and give a complete survey (without proof) of several generalizations: rational hypergeometric identities for $1/\pi^c$, Taylor…
We introduce a new infinite family of regular graphs admitting nested solutions in the edge-isoperimetric problem for all their Cartesian powers. The obtained results include as special cases most of previously known results in this area.
We introduce a topological invariant, it a type of a graph-manifold, which takes natural values. For a 4-dimensional graph-manifold, whose type does not exceed two, it is proved that its universal cover is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a…
In this paper we study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the path ideals of finite simple graphs. We find new upper bounds for various path ideals of gap free graphs. In particular we prove that the path ideals of gap free and claw…
We study the spectra of cyclic signatures of finite graphs and the corresponding cyclic lifts. Starting from a bipartite Ramanujan graph, we prove the existence of an infinite tower of $3$-cyclic lifts, each of which is again Ramanujan.
We prove that every infinite sequence of skew-symmetric or symmetric matrices M_1, M_2, ... over a fixed finite field must have a pair M_i, M_j (i<j) such that M_i is isomorphic to a principal submatrix of the Schur complement of a…
We give alternate constructions of (i) the scaling limit of the uniform connected graphs with given fixed surplus, and (ii) the continuum random unicellular map (CRUM) of a given genus that start with a suitably tilted Brownian continuum…
We define a metric filtration of the Gordian graph by an infinite family of 1-dense subgraphs. The n-th subgraph of this family is generated by all knots whose fundamental groups surject to a symmetric group with parameter at least n, where…
The purpose of this note is to point out that the theory of expander graphs leads to an interesting test whether $n$ real numbers $x_1, \dots, x_n$ could be $n$ independent samples of a random variable. To any distinct, real numbers $x_1,…
Using some properties of the gamma function and the well-known Gauss summation formula for the classical hypergeometric series, we prove a four-parameter series expansion formula, which can produce infinitely many Ramanujan type series for…
Graph eigenvalues play a fundamental role in controlling structural properties, such as bisection bandwidth, diameter, and fault tolerance, which are critical considerations in the design of supercomputing interconnection networks. This…
We study the existence and cardinality of universal families for classes of rayless graphs. It is known, by a result of Diestel, Halin, and Vogler, that the class of countable rayless graphs does not admit a countable universal family,…
Generalising an example by Girondo and Wolfart, we use finite group theory to construct Riemann surfaces admitting two or more regular dessins (i.e. orientably regular hypermaps) with automorphism groups of the same order, and in many cases…
The Dowling geometry $Q_n(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite group, is a matroid that generalizes the complete-graphic matroid $M(K_{n+1})$. We determine the maximum size of an $N$-free submatroid of $Q_n(\Gamma)$ for various choices of…
For a natural class of $r \times n$ integer matrices, we construct a non-convex polytope which periodically tiles $\mathbb R^n$. From this tiling, we provide a family of geometrically meaningful maps from a generalized sandpile group to a…
This article presents unified bijective constructions for planar maps, with control on the face degrees and on the girth. Recall that the girth is the length of the smallest cycle, so that maps of girth at least $d=1,2,3$ are respectively…
We give an estimate of the quantum variance for $d$-regular graphs quantised with boundary scattering matrices that prohibit back-scattering. For families of graphs that are expanders, with few short cycles, our estimate leads to quantum…
