Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…

W. M. Hirsch formulated a beautiful conjecture on diameters of convex polyhedra.I suggest a new viewpoint with the deformation and moduli of polytopes.

We study some particular cases of Viterbo's conjecture relating volumes of convex bodies and actions of closed characteristics on their boundaries, focusing on the case of a Hamiltonian of classical mechanical type, splitting into summands…

This mostly expository paper centers on recently proved conjectures in two areas: A) A conjecture of A. Oppenheim on the values of real indefinite quadratic forms at integral points. B) Conjectures of Dani, Raghunathan, and Margulis on…

Subspace codes have received an increasing interest recently due to their application in error-correction for random network coding. In particular, cyclic subspace codes are possible candidates for large codes with efficient encoding and…

We present two constructions, both inspired by ideas from graph theory, of sequences random surfaces of growing area, whose systoles grow logarithmically as a function of their area. This also allows us to prove a new lower bound on the…

We prove results concerning the representation of a given distribution by means of a given random quantity. The existence of a solution to this problem is related to the notion of conglomerability, originally introduced by Dubins to study…

The combinatorial description via ribbon graphs of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces makes it possible to define combinatorial cycles in a natural way. Witten and Kontsevich first conjectured that these classes are polynomials in the…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a contractible Hamiltonian Cycle in the edge graph of equivelar maps on surfaces. We also present an algorithm to construct such cycles. This is further generalized and shown…

We exhibit products of Mandelbrot sets in the two-dimensional complex parameter space of cubic polynomials. These products were observed by J. Milnor in computer experiments which inspired Lavaurs' proof of non local-connectivity for the…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

Following our joint work arXiv:1003.4578 with Robert Langlands, we make the first steps toward developing geometric methods for analyzing trace formulas in the case of the function field of a curve defined over a finite field. We also…

Let O be a cyclic topological operad with multiplication. In the framework of the cosimplicial machinery by McClure and Smith, we prove that the totalization of the cosimplicial space associated to O has an action of an operad equivalent to…

We show that for certain triangulations of surfaces, circle packings realising the triangulation can be found by solving a system of polynomial equations. We also present a similar system of equations for unbranched circle packings. The…

Categorial methods for generating new local algebras from old ones are presented. A direct proof of the differential structure of the prolongations of a manifold is proposed.

We prove a conjecture by Aboulker, Charbit and Naserasr by showing that every oriented graph in which the out-neighborhood of every vertex induces a transitive tournament can be partitioned into two acyclic induced subdigraphs. We prove…

Motivated by the existence of cyclic phenomena in which some characteristics are mapped into corresponding ones over more than one phase, we introduce the $r$-cyclic operators with respect to a covering of a metric space and investigate…

The tools developed in a preceding article for interpreting spacetime geometry in terms of all possible space-plus-time splitting approaches are applied to circular orbits in some familiar stationary axisymmetric spacetimes. This helps give…

If P is a point inside triangle ABC, then the cevians through P extended to the circumcircle of triangle ABC create a figure containing a number of curvilinear triangles. Each curvilinear triangle is bounded by an arc of the circumcircle…

We derive self-reciprocity properties for a number of polyomino generating functions, including several families of column-convex polygons, three-choice polygons and staircase polygons with a staircase hole. In so doing, we establish a…
