### Algorithm to find the vertices of the equidistant lines between N closed polygonal lines

I have a set $\{C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_N\}$ of $N$ nonintersecting closed polygonal lines on the Euclidean plane. For every point $x \in \mathbb{R}^2$ we say it belongs to a territory serviced by $C_i$ ...

### Minimality of maximal expansions of a hypergraph cover

This is a follow-up question to Maximal expansions of strongly minimal covers of hypergraphs -- for definitions refer to that question. Does every strongly minimal cover have a maximal expansion that ...

### Decomposition of hyperbolic surfaces near cusps into annuli

Let $C=\mathbb{H}/\Gamma$ be a hyperbolic surface and $c$ a cusp of this sruface. In the paper "Billiards and Teichmüller curves on Hilbert modular surfaces" by C. McMullen, it is claimed that near ...

### Lists of sets as objects of ZF axiomatics

I have a naive question about foundations of mathematics. A common opinion of most mathematicians is that the essential part of mathematics can be reduced to ZF(C) axioms. I do not quite understand ...

### Maximal expansions of strongly minimal covers of hypergraphs

Let $H = (V,E)$ be a hypergraph, that is $V$ is a set and $E \subseteq {\cal P}(V)$. We assume $\bigcup E = V$. Moreover we assume that every $e\in E$ is contained in some maximal member $e'\in E$ ...

### Is a toric blow-up in codimension 2 a real toric blow-up?

Let $X, Y$ be toric projective algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and smooth in codimension two (e.g. they have terminal singularities). Let ...

### $A_n \not \rightharpoonup A$ in $L_1[-\pi; \pi]$ ( $A_n$ is partial fourier sum )

Let \begin{equation*} (A_n x)(t) = \frac{a_0}{2} + \sum\limits_{k=1}^n a_k cos(kt) + b_k sin(kt), \\ a_k = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} x(t) cos(kt) dt, \\ b_k = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}} ...

### growth series of groups

As I know, in the literature there are formulas for groth series of direct product, free product and free product with amalgamation and graph product of groups. Is there any formula that gives groth ...

### A constrained positive polynomial

Is there an example of a polynomial $Q(x)\in\Bbb Z_{\geq0}[x]$ with $Q(0)=1$ so that $Q(x)=Q_m(x)Q_+(x)$ where $Q_+(x)\in\Bbb Z_{\geq0}[x]$, $Q_m(x)\in\Bbb Z[x]$ so that $Q_m(x)$ has at least $1$ ...

### Correspondence between real forms and real structures on complex Lie groups

I asked this in MSE, but without success, so I hope, it will be suitable here. E.B.Vinberg and A.L.Onishchik in their book give the following two definitions. For a complex Lie group $G$ its real ...

### For $k>3$ does there exist an odd prime $q_k$ such that $p_k=2^kq_k+1$ is prime and $p_k$ divides $a_k=\dfrac{3^{2^{k-1}}+1}{2}$?

Question: For $k>3$ does there exist an odd prime $q_k$ such that $p_k=2^kq_k+1$ is prime and $p_k$ divides $a_k=\dfrac{3^{2^{k-1}}+1}{2}$?\ If $k=3$ the answer is Yes because for $q_3=5$ we ...

### Representing one diagonal of Pascal's triangle using special sums coming from a different diagonal

Let $m, n$ be any fixed natural numbers. Is it true that infinitely many elements of the sequence $\left(\begin{array}{c} m+k \\ m \\ \end{array}\right)_{k=1,2,3,...}$ ( as well as of the sequence ...

### Does $Add(\kappa,1)^L$ ever collapse cardinals?

In general, we know that adding a subset to a regular cardinal $\kappa$ can collapse cardinals. If, for example, there is $\gamma < \kappa$ with $2^\gamma >\kappa$, then $Add(\kappa,1)$ will ...
### A question and a conjecture on $USp(N)$ group
$USp(N)$ with $N$ an even integer is defined as the group of unitary matrices $M$ that satisfy $M^TJM=J$, where $M^T$ is the transpose of $M$ and $J$ is the anti-symmetric $N$-by-$N$ matrix ...
