Let X,Y be finite sets, r,s,h,??N with s?r,X?Y. By ?Xh we mean the collection of all h-subsets X where each subset occurs ? times. A coloring (partition) is r-regular if element in exactly r subsets color. one-regular color class a perfect matching. We are interested necessary and sufficient conditions under which an can embedded into s-regular ?Yh. Using algebraic techniques involving glueing ...

A regular surface is a closed genus g surface defined as the tubular neighbourhood of the edge graph of a regular map. A regular map is a family of disc type polygons glued together to form a 2-manifold which is flag transitive. The visualization of this highly symmetric surface is an intriguing and challenging problem. Unlike regular maps, regular surfaces can always be visualized as 3D embedd...

Ramanujan’s original conjecture is concerned with the estimation of Fourier coefficients of the weight 12 holomorphic cusp form ∆ for SL(2,Z) on the upper half plane H. The conjecture may be reformulated in terms of the size of the eigenvalues of the corresponding Hecke operators or equivalently in terms of the local representations which are components of the automorphic representation associa...
