Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…

A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees, a regular graph is a graph where each vertex has the same degree and a locally regular graph is a graph where for every two adjacent vertices u, v, their…

To any fixed, finite relational structure, $\mathbb{D}$, there is an associated decision problem, CSP$(\mathbb{D})$, which is a restricted version of the constraint satisfaction problem. In [8], the so called "algebraic approach" to the…

We obtain local and global results on polynomially convex hulls of Lagrangian and totally real submanifolds of $C^n$ with self-intersections and open Whitney umbrella points.

Let $C$ be a convex subset of a locally convex space. We provide optimal approximate fixed point results for sequentially continuous maps $f\colon C\to\bar{C}$. First we prove that if $f(C)$ is totally bounded, then it has an approximate…

Let V be a smooth equidimensional quasi-affine variety of dimension r over the complex numbers $C$ and let $F$ be a $(p\times s)$-matrix of coordinate functions of $C[V]$, where $s\ge p+r$. The pair $(V,F)$ determines a vector bundle $E$ of…

The set of volumes of stable surfaces does have accumulation points. In this paper, we study this phenomenon for surfaces with one cyclic quotient singularity, towards answering the question under which conditions we can still have…

In this paper, we consider the problem of covering a plane region with unit discs. We present an improved upper bound and the first nontrivial lower bound on the number of discs needed for such a covering, depending on the area and…

We classify all possible local linear procedures over triangular meshes resulting in polynomial $C^1$-spline functions with affinely uniform shape for the basic functions at the edges, and fitting the 9 value- and gradient data at the…

Let $D$ be the open unit disc in the complex plane. We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers and consider any compact set $K$ which is disjoint from $D$ and which also has connected complement. Let $A(K)$ denote all the…

We show how the relatively initial or relatively terminal fixed points for a well-behaved functor $F$ form a pair of adjoint functors between $F$-coalgebras and $F$-algebras. We use the language of locally presentable categories to find…

Let $M_C(G)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal $G-$bundles over a smooth curve $C$. We show that a flat degeneration of this space $M_{C_{\Gamma}}(G)$ associated to a singular stable curve $C_{\Gamma}$ contains the free group…

Let X be a real algebraic surface. The comparison between the volume of real and complex loci of ample divisors D brings us to define the concordance, which is a number between 0 and 1. This number equals 1 when the Picard number is 1, and…

Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial of even degree $d$. We study the decompositions $f=\sum_{i=1}^r f_i^2$ where $\mathrm{deg} f_i=d/2$. The minimal number of summands $r$ is called the $2$-rank of $f$, so that the polynomials having…

Given a quiver associated to a cluster algebra and a sequence of vertices, iterative mutation leads to $F$-Polynomials which appear in numerous places in the cluster algebraic literature. The coefficients of the monomials in these…

Let C(2,1) be the class of connected 5-dimensional CR-hypersurfaces that are 2-nondegenerate and uniformly Levi degenerate of rank 1. In a recent article, we proved that the CR-structures in C(2,1) are reducible to so(3,2)-valued absolute…

In this work we approach the problem of determining which (compact) semialgebraic subsets of ${\mathbb R}^n$ are images under polynomial maps $f:{\mathbb R}^m\to{\mathbb R}^n$ of the closed unit ball $\overline{{\mathcal B}}_m$ centered at…

We give a survey of the known connections between regularity conditions and amenability conditions in the setting of uniform algebras. For a uniform algebra $A$ we consider the set, $A_{lc}$, of functions in $A$ which are locally constant…

Motivated by the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa (PFR) Conjecture, we develop a theory of locality in sumsets, with applications to John-type approximation and sets with small doubling. First we show that if $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le…

Our purpose in this article is first, following [8], to prove that if $\alpha $, $\beta $ are any points of the open unit disc $D(0;1)$ in the complex plane ${\bf C}$ and $r$, $s$ are any positive real numbers such that ${\overline{D}}(…
