We prove that a typical compact set does not contain any similar copy of a given pattern. We also prove that a typical compact set of $[0,1]^{d} (d\geq 2)$ intersects any $(d-1)$-dimensional plane in at most $d$ points. We study the…

Satisfiability solving has been used to tackle a range of long-standing open math problems in recent years. We add another success by solving a geometry problem that originated a century ago. In the 1930s, Esther Klein's exploration of…

We consider a self-homeomorphism h of some surface S. A subset F of the fixed point set of h is said to be unlinked if there is an isotopy from the identity to h that fixes every point of F. With Le Calvez' transverse foliations theory in…

The square peg problem asks whether every Jordan curve in the plane has four points which form a square. The problem has been resolved (positively) for various classes of curves, but remains open in full generality. We present two new…

There doesn't exists a finite planar map with all edges having the same length, and each vertex on exactly 5 edges.

We study new relations of the following statements with weak choice principles in ZF and ZFA. 1. There does not exist an infinite Hausdorff space X such that every infinite subset of X contains an infinite compact subset. 2. If a field has…

Let $P$ be a polygonal curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of length $n$, and $S$ be a point-set of size $k$. The Curve/Point Set Matching problem consists of finding a polygonal curve $Q$ on $S$ such that the Fr\'echet distance from $P$ is less than a…

Let $X_{2k}$ be a set of $2k$ labeled points in convex position in the plane. We consider geometric non-intersecting straight-line perfect matchings of $X_{2k}$. Two such matchings, $M$ and $M'$, are disjoint compatible if they do not have…

We develop a geometric approach to the study of plane sextics with a triple singular point. As an application, we give an explicit geometric description of all irreducible maximal sextics with a type $\bold E_7$ singular point and compute…

We report on the problem of the existence of complex and real algebraic curves in the plane with prescribed singularities up to analytic and topological equivalence. The question is whether, for a given positive integer $d$ and a finite…

A Steiner triple system is a set $S$ together with a collection $\mathcal{B}$ of subsets of $S$ of size 3 such that any two elements of $S$ belong to exactly one element of $\mathcal{B}$. It is well known that the class of finite Steiner…

We study intersections of projective convex sets in the sense of Steinitz. In a projective space, an intersection of a nonempty family of convex sets splits into multiple connected components each of which is a convex set. Hence, such an…

We present proofs of basic results, including those developed by Harold Bell, for the plane fixed point problem: does every map of a non-separating plane continuum have a fixed point? Some of these results had been announced much earlier by…

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…

A stationary stable solution of the Stokes equations for three identical heavy solid spheres falling in a vertical plane is found. It has no analog in the point-particle approximation. Three spheres aligned horizontally at equal distances…

We consider a Ziegler pair of plane arrangements, that is two plane arrangements $\mathcal{A}:f=0$ and $\mathcal{A}':f'=0$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$, such that the intersection lattices $L(\mathcal{A})$ and $L(\mathcal{A}')$…

Given $2k-1$ convex sets in $R^2$ such that no point of the plane is covered by more than $k$ of the sets, is it true that there are two among the convex sets whose union contains all $k$-covered points of the plane? This question due to…

When a non-singular complex projective surface $X$ satisfies that $K_X\sim 0$, we shall show that there are only finitely many isomorphic classes as abstract schemes in the set of moduli scheme of $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern…

We prove that, if the closed unit ball of a normed space $X$ has sufficiently many extreme points, then every mapping $\Phi$ from $X$ into itself with the following property is affine: For any pair of points in $X$, there exists a (not…

We prove that there are no semi-finite generalized hexagons with $q + 1$ points on each line containing the known generalized hexagons of order $q$ as full subgeometries when $q$ is equal to $3$ or $4$, thus contributing to the existence…
