Improved Results on Geometric Hitting Set Problems
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...

Computing the Shortest Essential Cycle
An essential cycle on a surface is a simple cycle that cannot be continuously deformed to a point or a single boundary. We describe algorithms to compute the shortest essential cy...

On Lines and Joints
Let L be a set of n lines in Rd , for d 3. A joint of L is a point incident to at least d lines of L, not all in a common hyperplane. Using a very simple algebraic proof techniqu...

The Number of Generalized Balanced Lines
Let S be a set of r red points and b = r +2 blue points in general position in the plane. A line determined by them is said to be balanced if in each open half-plane bounded by th...

Tiling Polygons with Lattice Triangles
Given a simple polygon with rational coordinates having one vertex at the origin and an adjacent vertex on the x-axis, we look at the problem of the location of the vertices for a...

Three-Dimensional Classical Groups Acting on Polytopes
Let V be a 3-dimensional vector space over a finite field. We show that any irreducible subgroup of GL(V ) that arises as the automorphism group of an regular polytope preserves a...

The Euclidean Distortion of the Lamplighter Group
We show that the cyclic lamplighter group C2 Cn embeds into Hilbert space with distortion O log n . This matches the lower bound proved by Lee, Naor and Peres in [14], answering a...
