The procedure to remove double intersections called the Whitney trick is one of the main tools in the topology of manifolds. The analogues of Whitney trick for $r$-tuple intersections were `in the air' since 1960s. However, only recently…

Denote by $\Delta_M$ the $M$-dimensional simplex. A map $f\colon \Delta_M\to\mathbb R^d$ is an almost $r$-embedding if $f\sigma_1\cap\ldots\cap f\sigma_r=\emptyset$ whenever $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_r$ are pairwise disjoint faces. A…

The topological Tverberg conjecture was considered a central unsolved problem of topological combinatorics. The conjecture asserts that for any integers $r,d>1$ and any continuous map $f:\Delta\to\mathbb R^d$ of the $(d+1)(r-1)$-dimensional…

Motivated by topological Tverberg-type problems and by classical results about embeddings (maps without double points), we study the question whether a finite simplicial complex K can be mapped into R^d without triple, quadruple, or, more…

We prove (and improve) the Muir-Suffridge conjecture for holomorphic convex maps. Namely, let $F:\mathbb B^n\to \mathbb C^n$ be a univalent map from the unit ball whose image $D$ is convex. Let $\mathcal S\subset \partial \mathbb B^n$ be…

This paper studies Bernstein--Sato polynomials $b_{f,0}$ for homogeneous polynomials $f$ of degree $d$ with $n$ variables. It is open to know when $-{n\over d}$ is a root of $b_{f,0}$. For essential indecomposable hyperplane arrangements,…

Using the authors' 2014 "constraints method," we give a short proof for a 2015 result of Dobbins on representations of a point in a polytope as the barycenter of points in a skeleton, and show that the "r-fold Whitney trick" of Mabillard…

We give a proof of the $A_2$ conjecture in geometrically doubling metric spaces (GDMS), i.e. a metric space where one can fit not more than a fixed amount of disjoint balls of radius $r$ in a ball of radius $2r$. Our proof consists of three…

The Topological Tverberg Theorem claims that any continuous map of a (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to \R^d identifies points from q disjoint faces. (This has been proved for affine maps, for d=1, and if q is a prime power, but not yet in general.) The…

We study multigraphs whose edge-sets are the union of three perfect matchings, $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$. Given such a graph $G$ and any $a_1,a_2,a_3\in \mathbb{N}$ with $a_1+a_2+a_3\leq n-2$, we show there exists a matching $M$ of $G$ with…

For a compact $(2n+1)$-dimensional smooth manifold, let $\mu_M : B Diff_\partial (D^{2n+1}) \to B Diff (M)$ be the map that is defined by extending diffeomorphisms on an embedded disc by the identity. By a classical result of Farrell and…

We use a triple-point version of the Whitney trick to show that ornaments of three orientable $(2k-1)$-manifolds in $\mathbb R^{3k-1}$, $k>2$, are classified by the $\mu$-invariant. A very similar (but not identical) construction was found…

We introduce a new ``Winding Number Conjecture'' about maps from the $(d-1)$-skeleton of the $((d+1)(q-1))$-simplex into $\real^d$. This conjecture is equivalent to the Topological Tverberg Theorem. Furthermore, many statements about the…

We study the natural extended-variable formulation for the disjunction of $n+1$ polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We demonstrate that the convex hull $D$ in the natural extended-variable space $\mathbb{R}^{d+n}$ is given by full optimal big-M…

We investigate a conjecture on the cover times of planar graphs by means of large Monte Carlo simulations. The conjecture states that the cover time $\tau(G_{N})$ of a planar graph $G_{N}$ of $N$ vertices and maximal degree $d$ is lower…

Pudl\'ak [Pud17] lists several major conjectures from the field of proof complexity and asks for oracles that separate corresponding relativized conjectures. Among these conjectures are: - $\mathsf{DisjNP}$: The class of all disjoint…

B\'ar\'any's "topological Tverberg conjecture" from 1976 states that any continuous map of an $N$-simplex $\Delta_N$ to $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $N\ge(d+1)(r-1)$, maps points from $r$ disjoint faces in $\Delta_N$ to the same point in…

For a planar point-set $P$, let D(P) be the minimum number of pairwise-disjoint empty disks such that each point in $P$ lies on the boundary of some disk. Further define D(n) as the maximum of D(P) over all n-element point sets. Hosono and…

Suppose $d+1$ absolutely continuous probability measures $m_0, \ldots, m_d$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are given. In this paper, we prove that there exists a point of $\mathbb{R}^d$ that belongs to the convex hull of $d+1$ points $v_0, \ldots, v_d$…

In this paper, we study the following problem: Let $D\geq 2$ and let $E\subset \mathbb R^D$ be finite satisfying certain conditions. Suppose that we are given a map $\phi:E\to \mathbb R^D$ with $\phi$ a small distortion on $E$. How can one…
