In this note we give a short and elementary proof of a more general version of Whitney's theorem that 3-connected planar graphs have a unique embedding in the plane. A consequence of the theorem is that cubic plane graphs cannot be embedded…

This is an addition to our paper (Lett.Math.Phys 65,2003,187-197) where an analogue of the Treves criterion for the first integrals of the KdV hierarchy was suggested for the Boussinesq hierarchy and its necessity was proven. In the present…

We pose reciprocity conjectures of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds, and discuss some supporting evidence on the conjectures. Especially, we show that the conjectures hold if a Galois descent of a $K_3$-group is satisfied.

Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web which admits more than one distinct linearization is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We give a partial answer to the conjecture in the affirmative for the class of planar 3-webs with…

It is conjectured that if a finite set of points in the plane contains many collinear triples then there is some structure in the set. We are going to show that under some combinatorial conditions such pointsets contain special…

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

In this note, we give an equivalent condition for a self-dual weight enumerator of genus three to satisfy the Riemann hypothesis. We also observe the truth and falsehood of the Riemann hypothesis for some families of invariant polynomials.

We construct an integrable hierarchy of the Boussinesq equation using the Lie-algebraic approach of Holod-Flashka-Newell-Ratiu. We show that finite-gap hamiltonian systems of the hierarchy arise on coadjoint orbits in the loop algebra of…

We show how a bijection due to Biane between involutions and labelled Motzkin paths yields bijections between Motzkin paths and two families of restricted involutions that are counted by Motzkin numbers, namely, involutions avoiding 4321…

Based on an explicit formula of the generating series for the $n$-point psi-class intersection numbers (cf. Bertola et. al. [4]), we give a novel proof of a conjecture of Delecroix et. al. [9] regarding the large genus uniform leading…

A pedigree is a directed graph in which each vertex (except the founder vertices) has two parents. The main result in this paper is a construction of an infinite family of counter examples to a reconstruction problem on pedigrees, thus…

This note provides a counterexample to a conjecture by March\'e about the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein module for closed compact oriented 3-manifolds over the ring of Laurent polynomials.

In this article we obtain the classification of the congruences of lines with one-dimensional focal locus. It turns out that one can restrict to study the case of $\mathbb{P}^3$.

We shall study the structure of hyperelliptic fibrations of genus 3, from the view point given by Catanese and Pignatelli in arXiv:math/0503294. In this part I, we shall give a structure theorem for such fibrations for the case of f : S \to…

We give a proof of the so-called generalized Waldhausen conjecture, which says that an orientable irreducible atoroidal 3-manifold has only finitely many Heegaard splittings in each genus, up to isotopy. Jaco and Rubinstein have announced a…

Gorenstein liaison seems to be the natural notion to generalize to higher codimension the well-known results about liaison of varieties of codimension~2 in projective space. In this paper we study points in ${\mathbb P}^3$ and curves in…

In this short note, we argue that the Burkardt sum rule for the Sivers functions can be used to check the consistency of evolution equations of three-parton correlators.

We prove the joints conjecture, showing that for any $N$ lines in ${\Bbb R}^3$, there are at most $O(N^{{3 \over 2}})$ points at which 3 lines intersect non-coplanarly. We also prove a conjecture of Bourgain showing that given $N^2$ lines…

Inspired by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, Voisin has formulated a conjecture concerning the behaviour of 0-cycles on self-products of varieties of geometric genus one. This note presents some new examples of surfaces for which Voisin's…

Several authors have recently attempted to show that the intersection of three simply connected subcontinua of the plane is simply connected provided it is non-empty and the intersection of each two of the continua is path connected. In…
