Given a finite point set $P$ in the plane, a subset $S subseteq P$ is called an island in $P$ if $conv(S) cap P = S$. We say that $Ssubset P$ is a visible island if the points in $S$ are pairwise visible and $S$ is an island in $P$. The famous Big-line Big-clique Conjecture states that for any $k geq 3$ and $ell geq 4$, there is an integer $n = n(k,ell)$, such that every finite set of at least $n$ points in the plane contains $ell$ collinear points or $k$ pairwise visible points. In this paper, we show that this conjecture is false for visible islands, by constructing arbitrarily large finite point sets in the plane with no 4 collinear members and no visible island of size $2^{42}$.

We prove the following generalised empty pentagon theorem: for every integer $ell geq 2$, every sufficiently large set of points in the plane contains $ell$ collinear points or an empty pentagon. As an application, we settle the next open case of the big line or big clique conjecture of Kara, Por, and Wood [emph{Discrete Comput. Geom.} 34(3):497--506, 2005].
Given a finite set $A subseteq mathbb{R}^d$, points $a_1,a_2,dotsc,a_{ell} in A$ form an $ell$-hole in $A$ if they are the vertices of a convex polytope which contains no points of $A$ in its interior. We construct arbitrarily large point sets in gen eral position in $mathbb{R}^d$ having no holes of size $O(4^ddlog d)$ or more. This improves the previously known upper bound of order $d^{d+o(d)}$ due to Valtr. The basic version of our construction uses a certain type of equidistributed point sets, originating from numerical analysis, known as $(t,m,s)$-nets or $(t,s)$-sequences, yielding a bound of $2^{7d}$. The better bound is obtained using a variant of $(t,m,s)$-nets, obeying a relaxed equidistribution condition.
We will prove that there exists a model of ZFC+``c= omega_2 in which every M subseteq R of cardinality less than continuum c is meager, and such that for every X subseteq R of cardinality c there exists a continuous function f:R-> R with f[X]=[0,1]. In particular in this model there is no magic set, i.e., a set M subseteq R such that the equation f[M]=g[M] implies f=g for every continuous nowhere constant functions f,g:R-> R .
Let $W$ be a compact smooth $4$-manifold that deformation retract to a PL embedded closed surface. One can arrange the embedding to have at most one non-locally-flat point, and near the point the topology of the embedding is encoded in the singularit y knot $K$. If $K$ is slice, then $W$ has a smooth spine, i.e., deformation retracts onto a smoothly embedded surface. Using the obstructions from the Heegaard Floer homology and the high-dimensional surgery theory, we show that $W$ has no smooth spines if $K$ is a knot with nonzero Arf invariant, a nontrivial L-space knot, the connected sum of nontrivial L-space knots, or an alternating knot of signature $<-4$. We also discuss examples where the interior of $W$ is negatively curved.
A word is square-free if it does not contain any square (a word of the form $XX$), and is extremal square-free if it cannot be extended to a new square-free word by inserting a single letter at any position. Grytczuk, Kordulewski, and Niewiadomski pr oved that there exist infinitely many ternary extremal square-free words. We establish that there are no extremal square-free words over any alphabet of size at least 17.
