What are good mathematical models for spider webs?
Sometimes I see spider webs in very complex surroundings, like in the middle of twigs in a tree or in a bush. I keep thinking “if you understand the spider web, you understand the space around it”. W …

Proofs where higher dimension or cardinality actually enabled much simpler proof?
I am very interested in proofs that become shorter and simpler by going to higher dimension in $\mathbb R^n$, or higher cardinality. By "higher" I mean that the proof is using higher dimension or card …

An intelligent ant living on a torus or sphere – Does it have a universal way to find out?
I wanted to ask a question about topological invariants and whether they are connected in a fundamental or universal way. I am not an expert in topology, so please let me ask this question by way of a …

Algebraic graph invariant $\mu(G)$ which links Four-Color-Theorem with Schrödinger operators...
30 years ago, Yves Colin de Verdière introduced the algebraic graph invariant $\mu(G)$ for any undirected graph $G$, see [1]. It was motivated by the study of the second eigenvalue of certain Schrödin …

Sperner's Lemma implies Tucker's Lemma - simple combinatorial proof
Sperner’s Lemma is often called the "combinatorial analog" of Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem, and similarly Tucker’s Lemma is often called the combinatorial analog of Borsuk–Ulam’s Theorem.
We can fa …

Graph embeddings in the projective plane: for the 35 forbidden minors, do we know their Coli...
The Graph Minor Theorem of Robertson and Seymour asserts
that any minor-closed graph property is determined by a finite set
of forbidden graph minors. It is a broad generalization e.g. of the Kuratows …

Abstract simplicial complexes - Reference for an elementary definition of mapping degree for...
I am interested to use the mapping degree for simplicial maps between (oriented) abstract simplicial complexes. What I mean by "elementary": My preference would be to use a definition of mapping degr …

3-colored triangulations of the sphere $S^2$, and Sperner's Lemma
I noticed something about colored triangulations of the topological sphere $S^2$ and have a question about this.
Observation. If you triangulate the sphere $S^2$ and color the vertices with three co …
