A strong interaction is known to exist between edge-colored graphs (which encode PL pseudo-manifolds of arbitrary dimension) and random tensor models (as a possible approach to the study of Quantum Gravity). The key tool is the {\it…

Recently, Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande established (a generalization of) Lehn's conjecture for Segre numbers associated to Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces. Extending work of Johnson, they provided a conjectural correspondence between…

A topological graph drawn on a cylinder whose base is horizontal is \emph{angularly monotone} if every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. Let $c(n)$ denote the maximum number $c$ such that every simple angularly monotone…

The monodromy conjecture is a mysterious open problem in singularity theory. Its original version relates arithmetic and topological/geometric properties of a multivariate polynomial $f$ over the integers, more precisely, poles of the…

It is shown that every complete n-vertex simple topological graph has at least Omega(n^{1/3}) pairwise disjoint edges, and these edges can be found in polynomial time. This proves a conjecture of Pach and T\'oth.

Exploiting particular features of classical groups, simple constructions are given for the irreducible constituents of the tensor square of the adjoint modules and the leading terms in higher tensor powers. This provides an independent…

We prove that for all integers $\Delta,r \geq 2$, there is a constant $C = C(\Delta,r) >0$ such that the following is true for every sequence $\mathcal{F} = \{F_1, F_2, \ldots\}$ of graphs with $v(F_n) = n$ and $\Delta(F_n) \leq \Delta$,…

Let $f_r(d,s_1,\ldots,s_r)$ denote the least integer $n$ such that every $n$-point set $P\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a partition $P=P_1\cup\cdots\cup P_r$ with the property that for any choice of $s_i$-convex sets $C_i\supseteq P_i$…

More that half a century ago R. Thom asserted in an unpublished manuscript that, generically, vector fields on compact connected smooth manifolds without boundary can admit only trivial continuous first integrals. Though somehow unprecise…

We develop a topological approach to prove the generalized Lax conjecture using the fact that determinants of sufficiently big symmetric linear pencils are able to express the rigidly convex sets of RZ polynomials of any degree $d$.…

Menger's Edge Theorem asserts that there exist $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint paths between two vertices in an undirected graph if and only if a deletion of any $k-1$ or less edges does not disconnect these two vertices. Alternatively, there…

A simplicial complex of dimension $d-1$ is said to be balanced if its graph is $d$-colorable. Juhnke-Kubitzke and Murai proved an analogue of the generalized lower bound theorem for balanced simplicial polytopes. We establish a…

The Bermond-Thomassen conjecture states that, for any positive integer $r$, a digraph of minimum out-degree at least $2r-1$ contains at least $r$ vertex-disjoint directed cycles. In 2014, Bang-Jensen, Bessy and Thomass\' e proved the…

In this work we present a new polynomial map $f:=(f_1,f_2):{\mathbb R}^2\to{\mathbb R}^2$ whose image is the open quadrant $\{x>0,y>0\}\subset{\mathbb R}^2$. The proof of this fact involves arguments of topological nature that avoid hard…

In this paper we consider families of compact convex sets in $\mathbb R^d$ such that any subfamily of size at most $d$ has a nonempty intersection. We prove some analogues of the central point theorem and Tverberg's theorem for such…

Hadwiger's Conjecture states that every graph with chromatic number $k$ contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices as a minor. This conjecture is a tremendous strengthening of the Four-Colour Theorem and is regarded as one of the most…

It follows from a theorem of Lov\'asz that if $ D $ is a finite digraph with $ r\in V(D) $ then there is a spanning subdigraph $ E $ of $ D $ such that for every vertex $ v\neq r $ the following quantities are equal: the local connectivity…

We prove that for any $r\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a constant $C_r$ such that the following is true. Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_1,F_2,\dots\}$ be an infinite sequence of bipartite graphs such that $|V(F_i)|=i$ and $\Delta(F_i)\leq \Delta$ hold…

We examine the rationality conjecture which states that (a) the formal power series $\sum_{r\ge 1} \tc_{r+1}(X)\cdot x^r$ represents a rational function of $x$ with a single pole of order 2 at $x=1$ and (b) the leading coefficient of the…

Here are two of our main results: Theorem 1. Let X be a normal space with dim X=n and m\geq n+1. Then the space C*(X,R^m) of all bounded maps from X into R^m equipped with the uniform convergence topology contains a dense G_{\delta}-subset…
