We show that every geodesic metric space admitting an injective continuous map into the plane as well as every planar graph has Nagata dimension at most two, hence asymptotic dimension at most two. This relies on and answers a question in a…

In 1987, Kalai proved that stacked spheres of dimension $d\geq 3$ are characterised by the fact that they attain equality in Barnette's celebrated Lower Bound Theorem. This result does not extend to dimension $d=2$. In this article, we give…

We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…

We study, using Mean Curvature Flow methods, 2+1 dimensional cosmologies with a positive cosmological constant and matter satisfying the dominant and the strong energy conditions. If the spatial slices are compact with non-positive Euler…

We prove two theorems, announced in hep-th/0108170, for static spacetimes that solve Einstein's equation with negative cosmological constant. The first is a general structure theorem for spacetimes obeying a certain convexity condition near…

We consider the minimizing problem for energy functionals with two types of competing particles and completely monotone potential on a lattice. We prove that the minima of sum of two completely monotone functions among lattices is located…

The purpose of this paper is to study convex bodies $C$ for which there exists no convex body $C^\prime\subsetneq C$ of the same lattice width. Such bodies shall be called ``lattice reduced'', and they occur naturally in the study of the…

Spatial random permutations were originally studied due to their connections to Bose-Einstein condensation, but they possess many interesting properties of their own. For random permutations of a regular lattice with periodic boundary…

Following G.~Gr\"atzer and E.~Knapp, 2009, a planar semimodular lattice $L$ is \emph{rectangular}, if~the left boundary chain has exactly one doubly-irreducible element, $c_l$, and the right boundary chain has exactly one doubly-irreducible…

We prove that cocompact arithmetic lattices in a simple Lie group are uniformly discrete if and only if the Salem numbers are uniformly bounded away from $1$. We also prove an analogous result for semisimple Lie groups. Finally, we shed…

Let $L$ be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain an ${\mathsf M}_3$-sublattice). We call the interval $I = [o, i]$ of $L$ \emph{rectangular}, if there are complementary $a, b \in I$ such that $a$ is to the…

Let $L$ be a lattice of full rank in $n$-dimensional real space. A vector in $L$ is called $i$-sparse if it has no more than $i$ nonzero coordinates. We define the $i$-th successive sparsity level of $L$, $s_i(L)$, to be the minimal $s$ so…

We classify simply-connected homogeneous ($D+1$)-dimensional spacetimes for kinematical and aristotelian Lie groups with $D$-dimensional space isotropy for all $D\geq 0$. Besides well-known spacetimes like Minkowski and (anti) de Sitter we…

A method is presented to search for a hypertorus symmetry axis by the alignment of distant objects. This offers greater sensitivity than previously proposed object-based methods that rely on accurate true distances. When applied to the…

This paper studies the covolumes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We determine the smallest covolume nonuniform arithmetic lattices for each n, the number of minimal covolume lattices for each n, and study the growth of the…

R. Pemantle conjectured, and T.M. Liggett proved in 1997, that the convolution of two ultra-logconcave is ultra-logconcave. Liggett's proof is elementary but long. We present here a short proof, based on the mixed volume of convex sets.

The lattices $D_4$ and $E_8$ are known to be the densest lattices in dimensions 4 and 8, respectively. In this paper, we employ tools from algebraic number theory to prove that the $D_4$-lattice arises from an infinite family of totally…

We show that 2-dimensional systolic complexes are quasi-isometric to quadric complexes with flat intervals. We use this fact along with the weight function of Brodzki, Campbell, Guentner, Niblo and Wright to prove that 2-dimensional…

For each $d>0$, we find all the smallest fullerenes for which the least distance between two pentagons is $d$. We also show that for each $d$ there is an $h_d$ such that fullerenes with pentagons at least distance $d$ apart and any number…

One of the basic problems in discrete geometry is to determine the most efficient packing of congruent replicas of a given convex set $K$ in the plane or in space. The most commonly used measure of efficiency is density. Several types of…
