Integral solutions to f(x, y, z) = n where f is a cubic form
I'm looking to see if there is an integral solution to $f(x,y,z)=n$ where f is a cubic form. Especially interesting is the diagonal case:
$$
ax^3+by^3+cz^3=n
$$
for fixed integers $a,b,c,n$. If there ...

Where can I find a picture of the complete 9-map on a triple torus that corresponds to Heffter’s table?
What I’m looking for is the analogue of
Figure 5 in the paper by Saul Stahl, The Othe Map Coloring Theorem, Mathematics Magazine 1985, which is a complete 8-map $M_8$ on the double torus $S_2$ that ...

Is there an effective genus theory for indefinite quadratic forms?
For positive definite quadratic forms, there is a way to check if two forms are isomorphic by arithmetic equivalence over $GL_n(Z)$ by computing configurations of vector up to some norm and then ...

Simple proof that the arithmetic genus is non-negative
I take an irreducible and reduced closed curve $C\subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and define the arithmetic genus $p_a(C)$ as the integer such that the Hilbert ...

Maximum number of perfect matchings in a graph of genus $g$ balanced $k$-partite graph
What is the maximum number of perfect matchings a genus $g$ balanced $k$-partite graph (number of vertices for each color in all possible $k$-colorings is within a difference of $1$) can have? I am ...

Number of non-equivalent graph embeddings
Given a graph $G$, there is a minimal integer $g$ associated with it which captures the minimum genus a surface needs to have so that $G$ embeds in the surface without edge crossings.
Is there a way ...

Is bipartite graph genus bound by $O(\mbox{max deg})$?
We know that planar graphs have $O(1)$ degree.
We know balanced (each color has same number of vertices) complete bipartite graphs have genus $O(n^2)$.
If maximum and average degree are $O(n^\alpha)$ ...

$k$-planar graphs and genus
Is there a simple function that connects $k$ in $k$-planar graphs and genus of such graphs?
If there is no simple function is there any non-trivial upper and lower bound?

How do you see the genus of a curve, just looking at its function field?
Yuhao asked in the 20-questions seminar:
The genus of a curve is a birational invariant; the function field of a curve determines it up to birational equivelance.
How do you see the genus directly ...
