We often rely on censuses of triangulations to guide our intuition in $3$-manifold topology. However, this can lead to misplaced faith in conjectures if the smallest counterexamples are too large to appear in our census. Since the number of…

We obtain a small improvement of Gallagher's larger sieve and we extend it to higher dimensions. We also obtain two interesting upper bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences.

Using $\delta$-invariants and Newton--Okounkov bodies, we derive the optimal volume upper bound for K\"ahler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, from which we get a new characterization of the complex projective space.

Ozawa and Shioya proposed the limit formula for observable diameters of pyramids under weak convergence. However, we find a constructive counterexample to an inequality used in their proof. In this paper, we correct the inequality and…

Triangular algebras, and maximal triangular algebras in particular, have been objects of interest for over fifty years. Rich families of examples have been studied in the context of many w$^*$- and C$^*$-algebras, but there remains a dearth…

We develop a new simple approach to prove upper bounds for generalizations of the Heilbronn's triangle problem in higher dimensions. Among other things, we show the following: for fixed $d \ge 1$, any subset of $[0, 1]^d$ of size $n$…

A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of pairs of distinct primes $p,q \le x$ for which $(p - 1)(q -…

The topological Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}_{\hom}(n,X)$ of a 2-dimensional simplicial complex $X$ asks for the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph containing no triangulation of $X$ as a subgraph. We prove that…

We prove that every set of n points in the plane has at most $(16+5/6)^n$ rectangulations. This improves upon a long-standing bound of Ackerman. Our proof is based on the cross-graph charging-scheme technique.

It is proven here that the diameter of the d-dimensional associahedron is 2d-4 when d is greater than 9. Two maximally distant vertices of this polytope are explicitly described as triangulations of a convex polygon, and their distance is…

We show that any $n$-absorbing ideal must be strongly $n$-absorbing, which is the first of Anderson and Badawi's three interconnected conjectures on absorbing ideals. We prove this by introducing and studying objects called maximal and…

We consider a compact hyperbolic antiprism. It is a convex polyhedron with $2n$ vertices in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. This polyhedron has a symmetry group $S_{2n}$ generated by a mirror-rotational symmetry of order $2n$, i.e.…

We determine the maximum number $N_\alpha(d)$ of equiangular lines with fixed angle $\arccos\alpha$ for $\alpha = 1/(1+2\sqrt2)$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space: $2,3,4,6,8,10,14,15,16,17,18,20,22$ for $d \in \{2,\dots,14\}$, and…

Milnor computed the volumes of ideal hyperbolic prisms as part of an effort to construct 3-manifolds whose volumes are finite rational sums of the Lobachevsky function evaluated at rational multiples of pi. Motivated by these results and…

In this work we solve the packing problem for complete (n,3)-arcs in PG(2,16), determining that the maximum size is 28 and the minimum size is 15. We also performed a partial classification of the extremal size of complete (n,3)-arcs in…

Let $S=\mathbb{C}[x_{ij}]$ be a polynomial ring of $m\times n$ variables over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $I$ be the determinantal ideal of maximal minors of $S$. Using the representation theoretic techniques introduced in arXiv:1305.1719,…

We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…

We consider packings of congruent circles on a square flat torus, i.e., periodic (w.r.t. a square lattice) planar circle packings, with the maximal circle radius. This problem is interesting due to a practical reason - the problem of "super…

This is an expository paper (in Spanish) describing the origin and history of the Hirsch Conjecture about the maximum diameter of graphs of polytopes, and the ideas that led to the counter-example to it recently announced by the author in…

An old conjecture states that among all simplices inscribed in the unit sphere the regular one has the maximal mean width. An equivalent formulation is that for any centered Gaussian vector $(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)$ satisfying $\mathbb…
