We recall two basic conjectures on the developables of convex projective curves, prove one of them and disprove the other in the firdt nontrivial case of curves in RP^3. Namely, we show that i) the tangent developable surface of any convex…

We use discrete Morse theory to give a new proof of the Degree Theorem in Auter space A_n. There is a filtration of A_n into subspaces A_{n,k} using the degree of a graph, and the Degree Theorem says that each A_{n,k} is (k-1)-connected.…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…

Joint degree vectors give the number of edges between vertices of degree $i$ and degree $j$ for $1\le i\le j\le n-1$ in an $n$-vertex graph. We find lower and upper bounds for the maximum number of nonzero elements in a joint degree vector…

We describe the topological behavior of the conjugacy action of the mapping class group of an orientable infinite-type surface $\Sigma$ on itself. Our main results are: (1) All conjugacy classes of $MCG(\Sigma)$ are meager for every…

We construct several families of embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups of orientable and non-orientable surfaces and prove that they induce the trivial map in stable homology in the orientable case, but not so in the…

We prove some results on the structure of certain classes of integral fusion categories and semisimple Hopf algebras under restrictions on the set of its irreducible degrees.

In this paper we study the degrees of irrationality of hypersurfaces of large degree in a complex projective variety. We show that the maps computing the degrees of irrationality of these hypersurfaces factor through rational fibrations of…

In this paper we obtain a classification of rigid isotopy classes of totally reducible trigonal curves lying on a Hirzebruch surface $\Sigma_n$, and having a maximal number of non-degenerated double points. Such curves correspond to…

A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…

We prove a strong relation between Chern and log Chern invariants of algebraic surfaces. For a given arrangement of curves, we find nonsingular projective surfaces with Chern ratio arbitrarily close to the log Chern ratio of the log surface…

We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…

A dissociation set of a graph is a set of vertices which induces a subgraph with maximum degree less than or equal to one. The dissociation number of a graph is the maximum cardinality of its dissociation sets. In this paper, we study the…

We prove that for any genus g>1, the subgroup K_g of the mapping class group of a closed genus g surface generated by Dehn twists about separating curves is not finitely generated.

We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides…

Given a smooth curve defined over a field $k$ that admits a non-singular plane model over $\overline{k}$, a fixed separable closure of $k$, it does not necessarily have a non-singular plane model defined over the field $k$. We determine…

The writhe of a space curve fragment is considered for various boundary conditions. An expression for the writhe as a function of arclength for an arbitrary space curve is obtained. The formula is built on the base of closing the tangent…

We consider a class of "harmonic variations" for nonsingular curves, obtained as asymptotic degenerations along bitangents. On a geometric level, we obtain an attractive relationship between the class and the genus of $C$. The distribution…

In this paper we introduce the following new ingredients: (1) rework on part of the Lagrangian surgery theory; (2) constructions of Lagrangian cobordisms on product symplectic manifolds; (3) extending Biran-Cornea Lagrangian cobordism…

We set up a homological algebra for N-complexes, which are graded modules together with a degree -1 endomorphism d satisfying d^N=0. We define Tor- and Ext-groups for N-complexes and we compute them in terms of their classical counterparts…
