Given a sequence of positive integers , let denote the family of all sequences of positive integers such that for all . Two families of sequences (or vectors), , are said to be -cross-intersecting if no matter how we select and , there are at least distinc ...
Determining the size of a maximum independent set of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is an NP-hard problem. Therefore many attempts are made to find upper and lower bounds, or exact values of alpha(G) for special classes of graphs. This paper is aimed towa ...
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 Swinnerton-Dyer ([ ...
Let ES(n) denote the minimum natural number such that every set of ES(n) points in general position in the plane contains n points in convex position. In 1935, ErdAs and Szekeres proved that ES. In 1961, they obtained the lower bound , which they conjectur ...
We construct five families of 2D moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles (respectively, local systems) by taking the equivariant Hilbert scheme of a certain finite group acting on the cotangent bundle of an elliptic curve (respectively, twisted cotangent ...
Let P be a set of n > d points in for d >= 2. It was conjectured by Zvi Schur that the maximum number of (d-1)-dimensional regular simplices of edge length diam(P), whose every vertex belongs to P, is n. We prove this statement under the condition that any ...
In this article, we disprove a conjecture of Goemans and Linial; namely, that every negative type metric embeds into ℓ1 with constant distortion. We show that for an arbitrarily small constant δ > 0, for all large enough n, there is an n-point negative ...
We prove that the number of rational points of bounded height on certain del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 defined over Q grows linearly, as predicted by Manin's conjecture. ...
We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q whose singularity type is D-4. This improves on a result of Browning and answers a ...
We consider Gaussian diamond networks with n half-duplex relays. At any point of time, a relay can either be in a listening (L) or transmitting (T) state. The capacity of such networks can be approximated to within a constant gap (independent of channel SN ...
