It is conjectured since long that for any convex body $K \in \mathbb{R}^n$ there exists a point in the interior of $K$ which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $K$. The conjecture is known to be true…

It is conjectured since long that for any convex body $P\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ there exists a point in its interior which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $P$. The conjecture is known to be true for…

We prove that for $n>3$ each generic simple polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a point with at least $2n+4$ emanating normals to the boundary. This result is a piecewise-linear counterpart of a long-standing problem about normals to smooth…

It is conjectured since long that each smooth convex body $\mathbf{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ has a point in its interior which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $\mathbf{P}$. The conjecture is proven…

Let $Z$ be a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold. We study smooth embeddings and immersions $\beta: M \to Z$ of compact or closed $n$-manifolds $M$ such that the normal line bundle $\nu^\beta$ is trivialized. For a fixed $Z$, we introduce an…

A version of a conjecture of McMullen is as follows: Given a hyperbolizable 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary, there exists a uniform constant K such that if N is a hyperbolic 3-manifold homeomorphic to the interior of M, then the…

Let $M$ be a simply-connected $m$ dimensional manifold of finite type and $k$ a positif integer. In this paper we show that the rational Betti numbers of each component of the space of immersions of $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+k}$, have…

Given smooth manifolds $V^n$ and $M^m$, an integer $k$, and an immersion $f:V\looparrowright M$, we have constructed an obstruction for existence of regular homotopy of $f$ to an immersion $f':V\looparrowright M$ without $k$-fold points.…

This article is concerned with locally flatly immersed surfaces in simply-connected $4$-manifolds where the complement of the surface has fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}$. Once the genus and number of double points are fixed, we classify such…

Makeev conjectured that every constant-width body is inscribed in the dual difference body of a regular simplex. We prove that homologically, there are an odd number of such circumscribing bodies in dimension 3, and therefore geometrically…

We use a new method to give conditions for the existence of a local isometric immersion of a Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$, for a given $n$ and $k$. These equate to the (local) existence of a $k$-tuple of scalar fields…

We prove that given two compact oriented $3$-manifolds $N$ and $M,$ with $M$ satisfying only a mild hypothesis, there is a hyperbolic $3$-manifold $N'$ arbitrarily ``closely related'' to $N,$ and such that $N'$ does not embed in $M.$ For…

It is shown that any smooth closed orientable manifold of dimension $2k + 1$, $k \geq 2$, admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^{3k}$. This improves by $1$ the previously known lower bound of $3k+1$ on the possible…

For a topological space $X$ we study continuous maps $f : X\to \mathbb R^m$ such that images of every pairwise distinct $k$ points are affinely (linearly) independent. Such maps are called affinely (linearly) $k$-regular embeddings. We…

It is proved that any smooth manifold $\mathcal M$ of dimension $m$ admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^n$ when $n\geq \lfloor 5m/4\rfloor$. Further, such embeddings are dense in the space of smooth maps from…

For a given $\lambda >0$, a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is $\lambda$-convex if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) balls of radius $1/\lambda$. In this note, we show that among all $\lambda$-convex bodies in $\mathbb…

The fact that the complete graph $K_5$ does not embed in the plane has been generalized in two independent directions. On the one hand, the solution of the classical Heawood problem for graphs on surfaces established that the complete graph…

We study the convergence of volume-normalized Betti numbers in Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequences of non-positively curved manifolds with finite volume. In particular, we show that if $X$ is an irreducible symmetric space of noncompact…

We shall prove that there are totally real and real analytic embeddings of $S^k$ in $\cc^n$ which are not biholomorphically equivalent if $k\geq 5$ and $n=k+2[\frac{k-1}{4}]$. We also show that a smooth manifold $M$ admits a totally real…
