In 2019 P. Patak and M. Tancer obtained the following higher-dimensional generalization of the Heawood inequality on embeddings of graphs into surfaces. We expose this result in a short well-structured way accessible to non-specialists in the field. Let $Delta_n^k$ be the union of $k$-dimensional faces of the $n$-dimensional simplex. Theorem. (a) If $Delta_n^k$ PL embeds into the connected sum of $g$ copies of the Cartesian product $S^ktimes S^k$ of two $k$-dimensional spheres, then $ggedfrac{n-2k}{k+2}$. (b) If $Delta_n^k$ PL embeds into a closed $(k-1)$-connected PL $2k$-manifold $M$, then $(-1)^k(chi(M)-2)gedfrac{n-2k}{k+1}$.

We introduce the notion of coupled embeddability, defined for maps on products of topological spaces. We use known results for nonsingular biskew and bilinear maps to generate simple examples and nonexamples of coupled embeddings. We study genericity properties for coupled embeddings of smooth manifolds, extend the Whitney embedding theorems to statements about coupled embeddability, and we discuss a Haefliger-type result for coupled embeddings. We relate the notion of coupled embeddability to the $mathbb{Z}/2$-coindex of embedding spaces, recently introduced and studied by the authors. With a straightforward generalization of these results, we obtain strong obstructions to the existence of coupled embeddings in terms of the combinatorics of triangulations. In particular, we generalize nonembeddability results for certain simplicial complexes to sharp coupled nonembeddability results for certain pairs of simplicial complexes.
For a closed 3-manifold $M$ in a certain class, we give a presentation of the cellular chain complex of the universal cover of $M$. The class includes all surface bundles, some surgeries of knots in $S^3$, some cyclic branched cover of $S^3$, and some Seifert manifolds. In application, we establish a formula for calculating the linking form of a cyclic branched cover of $S^3$, and develop procedures of computing some Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants.
We prove that for 4-manifolds $M$ with residually finite fundamental group and non-spin universal covering $Wi M$, the inequality $dim_{mc}Wi Mle 3$ implies the inequality $dim_{mc}Wi Mle 2$.
We show that the natural Glauber dynamics mixes rapidly and generates a random proper edge-coloring of a graph with maximum degree $Delta$ whenever the number of colors is at least $qgeq (frac{10}{3} + epsilon)Delta$, where $epsilon>0$ is arbitrary and the maximum degree satisfies $Delta geq C$ for a constant $C = C(epsilon)$ depending only on $epsilon$. For edge-colorings, this improves upon prior work cite{Vig99, CDMPP19} which show rapid mixing when $qgeq (frac{11}{3}-epsilon_0 ) Delta$, where $epsilon_0 approx 10^{-5}$ is a small fixed constant. At the heart of our proof, we establish a matrix trickle-down theorem, generalizing Oppenheims influential result, as a new technique to prove that a high dimensional simplical complex is a local spectral expander.
In this paper, we prove a Liouville theorem for holomorphic functions on a class of complete Gauduchon manifolds. This generalizes a result of Yau for complete Kahler manifolds to the complete non-Kahler case.
