We study the problem of finding curves of minimum pointwise-maximum arc-length derivative of curvature, here simply called curves of minimax spirality, among planar curves of fixed length with prescribed endpoints and tangents at the…

Given a flexible $n$-gon with generic side lengths, the moduli space of its configurations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ as well as in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a smooth manifold. It is equipped with $n$ \textit{tautological} line bundles whose definition is…

We explain how to compute top-dimensional intersections of psi-classes on moduli spaces of m-stable curves. On the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable pointed curves of genus one, these intersection numbers are determined by two…

Simonovits and S\'{o}s conjectured that the maximal size of a triangle-intersecting family of graphs on $n$ vertices is $2^{\binom{n}{2}-3}$. Their conjecture has recently been proved using spectral methods. We provide an elementary proof…

We obtain some restrictions on the topology of infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds. In particular, for any n and any closed negatively curved manifold M of dimension greater than 2, only finitely many hyperbolic n-manifolds are total…

Recently we gave arguments that only two unique topologically different configurations of 7 equal all mutually touching round cylinders (the configurations being mirror reflections of each other) are possible in 3D, although a whole world…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve and $V$ an orthogonal bundle over $C$. Let $\IQeV$ be the isotropic Quot scheme parameterizing degree $e$ isotropic subsheaves of maximal rank in $V$. We give a closed formula for intersection numbers on…

This paper focuses on intersection of closed curves on translation surfaces. Namely, we investigate the question of determining the intersection of two closed curves of a given length on such surfaces. This question has been investigated in…

We consider two incidence problems for integral curves of vector fields. The first is an analogue of the Euclidean joints problem, in which lines are replaced by integral curves of smooth vector fields taken from some finite-dimensional…

A long standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any $n$ simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same…

Three intersection theorems are proved. First, we determine the size of the largest set system, where the system of the pairwise unions is l-intersecting. Then we investigate set systems where the union of any s sets intersect the union of…

We consider rectangle graphs whose edges are defined by pairs of points in diagonally opposite corners of empty axis-aligned rectangles. The maximum number of edges of such a graph on $n$ points is shown to be 1/4 n^2 +n -2. This number…

Two families of sets \(\mathcal{A}\) and \(\mathcal{B}\) are called \emph{cross-\(t\)-intersecting} if \(|A \cap B| \geq t\) for all \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) and \(B \in \mathcal{B}\). Determining the maximum product of sizes for such…

We investigate arcs on a pair of pants and present an algorithm to compute the self-intersection number of an arc. Additionally, we establish bounds for the self-intersection number in terms of the word length. We also prove that the…

A realistic generalization of the Markov--Dubins problem, which is concerned with finding the shortest planar curve of constrained curvature joining two points with prescribed tangents, is the requirement that the curve passes through a…

Planar point sets with many triple lines (which contain at least three distinct points of the set) have been studied for 180 years, started with Jackson and followed by Sylvester. Green and Tao has shown recently that the maximum possible…

Let $M$ be a perfect matching on a set of points in the plane where every edge is a line segment between two points. We say that $M$ is globally maximum if it is a maximum-length matching on all points. We say that $M$ is $k$-local maximum…

A generalization of pairwise intersecting Minkowski arrangement of centrally symmetric convex bodies is the pairwise intersecting Minkowski arrangement of order $\mu$. Here, the homothetic copies of a centrally symmetric convex body are so…
