In this paper we study an overdetermined problem which is directly related to the well known torsion problem studied by J. Serrin. A perturbed version of the latter is tackled by using asymptotic series as well as tools borrowed from the…

We prove an existence theorem for convex hypersurfaces of prescribed Gauss curvature in the complement of a compact set in Euclidean space which are close to a cone.

A short proof of the Caratheodory conjecture about index of an isolated umbilic on the convex 2-dimensional sphere is suggested. The argument is based on the study of geodesic lines near cone-type singularity of a metric induced by…

This note describes a representation of the real numbers due to Schanuel. The representation lets us construct the real numbers from first principles. Like the well-known construction of the real numbers using Dedekind cuts, the idea is…

Using the orthogonal connectedness, we introduce the notion of orthogonal decomposability of convex polytopes and study it in the case of Platonic and Archimedean solids. While doing so, we also encounter polytopes which are not…

We formulate a relative, representation theoretic, notion of the algebraic cone construction. This motivates a generalization of the cone corresponding to a preprojective algebra.

We introduce a new fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii type for discontinuous operators. As an application we use it to study the existence of positive solutions of a second-order differential problem with separated boundary conditions and…

This paper shows that---under suitable conditions on a cone $C$---any element in the convex hull of a decomposably $C$-antichain-convex set $Y$ is $C$-Pareto dominated by some element of $Y$. Building on this, the paper proves the…

This paper is about the moment problem on a finite-dimensional vector space of continuous functions. We investigate the structure of the convex cone of moment functionals (supporting hyperplanes, exposed faces, inner points) and treat…

We prove the cone theorem for varieties with LCIQ singularities using deformation theory of stable maps into Deligne-Mumford stacks. We also obtain a sharper bound on $-(K_X+D)$-degree of $(K_X+D)$-negative extremal rays for projective…

In a previous work arXiv:physics/0611108v2, it was shown that the volume spanned by a molecular system in its conformational space can be effectively bounded by a polyhedral cone, this cone is described by means of a simple combinatorial…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

It is shown that, given a representation of a quiver over a finite field, one can check in polynomial time whether it is absolutely indecomposable.

We combine several folklore observations to provide a working framework for iterating constructions which contradict the axiom of choice. We use this to define a model in which any kind of structural failure must fail with a proper class of…

We study the analogue of the classical infinitesimal center problem in the plane, but for zero cycles. We define the displacement function in this context and prove that it is identically zero if and only if the deformation has a…

The main results in this note concern the characterization of the length of continua 1 (Theorems 2.5) and the parametrization of continua with finite length (Theorem 4.4). Using these results we give two independent and relatively…

We fully characterize orthogonal projections of infinite right circular (round) cones in real Hilbert spaces. Another interpretation is that, given two vectors in a real Hilbert space, we establish the optimal estimate on the angle between…

We study the possible structures which can be carried by sets which have no countable subset, but which fail to be `surjectively Dedekind finite', in two possible senses, that there is a surjection to $\omega$, or alternatively, that there…

We establish new geometric inequalities comparing the volumes of sections and projections of a convex body, whose barycenter or Santal\'o point is at the origin, with those of its inner and outer regularizations. We also provide functional…

In this paper we formulate and prove a combinatorial version of the section conjecture for finite groups acting on finite graphs. We apply this result to the study of rational points and show that finite descent is the only obstruction to…
