In 2007, Ando and Egawa proved a theorem which provides a lower bound on the number of contractible edges preserving $4$-connectedness in $4$-connected graphs. In this paper, we refine their bounds, especially for the $4$-connected plane…

We establish an explicit upper bound for the Euclidean minimum of a number field which depends, in a precise manner, only on its discriminant and the number of real and complex embeddings. Such bounds were shown to exist by Davenport and…

Let f be a generic polynomial mapping mapping from the plane to the plane. There are constructed quadratic forms whose signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps of f.

At the time of writing, the general problem of finding the maximal Waring rank for homogeneous polynomials of fixed degree and number of variables (or, equivalently, the maximal symmetric rank for symmetric tensors of fixed order and in…

Let $\epsilon, C$ be two positive real numbers, and $\mathcal C \subset \mathbb R$ be a DCC (descending chain condition) set. Let $(X, B = \sum b_j B_j)$ denote a projective surface with an $\mathbb R$-divisor. Then (1) The class $\{X\}$ of…

Let $Y$ be the complement of a plane quartic curve $D$ defined over a number field. Our main theorem confirms the Lang-Vojta conjecture for $Y$ when $D$ is a generic smooth quartic curve, by showing that its integral points are confined in…

An ordinary plane of a finite set of points in real 3-space with no three collinear is a plane intersecting the set in exactly three points. We prove a structure theorem for sets of points spanning few ordinary planes. Our proof relies on…

We show that there is a bijection between real-linear automorphisms of the multicomplex numbers of order $n$ and signed permutations of length $2^{n-1}$. This allows us to deduce a number of results on the multicomplex numbers, including a…

Given a set P of points on the plane, a polygon with vertices in P is said to be empty if it contains no element of P in its interior. We show that every set of n points in general position on the plane determines at least…

Let $v_1$, $v_2$, ..., $v_n$ be real numbers whose squares add up to 1. Consider the $2^n$ signed sums of the form $S = \sum \pm v_i$. Boppana and Holzman (2017) proved that at least 13/32 of these sums satisfy $|S| \le 1$. Here we improve…

The Matrix Spencer Conjecture asks whether given $n$ symmetric matrices in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ with eigenvalues in $[-1,1]$ one can always find signs so that their signed sum has singular values bounded by $O(\sqrt{n})$. The standard…

It is proved that the discriminant of $n\times n$ real symmetric matrices can be written as a sum of squares, where the number of summands equals the dimension of the space of $n$-variable spherical harmonics of degree $n$. The…

We state the formula for the critical number of vertices of a convex lattice polygon that guarantees that the polygon contains at least one point of a given sublattice and give a partial proof of the formula. We show that the proof can be…

An important problem in analytic and geometric combinatorics is estimating the number of lattice points in a compact convex set in a Euclidean space. Such estimates have numerous applications throughout mathematics. In this note, we exhibit…

In our previous paper we have elaborated a certain signed count of real lines on real projective n-dimensional hypersurfaces of degree 2n-1. Contrary to the honest "cardinal" count, it is independent of the choice of a hypersurface, and by…

We examine quadratic surfaces in 3-space that are tangent to nine given figures. These figures can be points, lines, planes or quadrics. The numbers of tangent quadrics were determined by Hermann Schubert in 1879. We study the associated…

It is well-known that the number of non-crossing perfect matchings of $2k$ points in convex position in the plane is $C_k$, the $k$th Catalan number. Garc\'ia, Noy, and Tejel proved in 2000 that for any set of $2k$ points in general…

We prove the sharp bound of at most 64 lines on complex projective quartic surfaces (resp. affine quartics) that are not ruled by lines. We study configurations of lines on certain non-K3 surfaces of degree four and give various examples of…

We study the following question: given a set P of 3d-2 points and an immersed curve G in the real plane R^2, all in general position, how many real rational plane curves of degree d pass through these points and are tangent to this curve.…

We show that the maximum number of convex polygons in a triangulation of $n$ points in the plane is $O(1.5029^n)$. This improves an earlier bound of $O(1.6181^n)$ established by van Kreveld, L\"offler, and Pach (2012) and almost matches the…
