Hollmann, Ko rner, and Litsyn used generalized Steiner systems to prove that it is impossible to partition an n-cube into k Hamming spheres if 2<k<n+2. Furthermore, if k=n+2, they showed the only partition of the n-cube consists of a single sphere of radius n&2 and n+1 spheres of radius 0. We give a

The Lusternik-Schnirelmann π1-category, catπ 1 X, of a topological space X is the least integer n such that X can be covered by n + 1 open subsets U0, . . . , Un, every loop in each of which is contractible in X. In this paper we will prove a gap theorem that catπ 1 M n = n -1 for any closed connect
We give two combinatorial proofs of Franks' Theorem, that an area preserving torus homeomorphism with mean rotation zero has a fixed point. The first proof uses Lax's version of the Marriage Theorem. The second proof uses Euler's Theorem on circuits in graphs and an explicit method of Alpern for dec
Liftings of invariant forms defined in semi-invariant subspaces of the Hilbert spaces of scattering systems with one or two evolution groups are obtained. These liftings provide direct proofs for the classical theorems of Sarason and of Sz.-Nagy and Foias, as well as a bidimensional version of Saras
