The main goal of this paper is to find the discrete analogue of the Bianchi system in spaces of arbitrary dimesion together with its geometric interpretation. We show that the proper geometric framework of such generalization is the…
Q-nets are maps from the square grid to projective space that have planar faces. We consider the Laplace sequences of Q-nets, which are determined by iterating a discrete time dynamics called Laplace transformations. In general, the Laplace…
In the projective plane, we consider congruences of straight lines with the combinatorics of the square grid and with all elementary quadrilaterals possessing touching inscribed conics. The inscribed conics of two combinatorially…
In this paper we are interested in defining affine structures on discrete quadrangular surfaces of the affine three-space. We introduce, in a constructive way, two classes of such surfaces, called respectively indefinite and definite…
We consider a general theory of curvatures of discrete surfaces equipped with edgewise parallel Gauss images, and where mean and Gaussian curvatures of faces are derived from the faces' areas and mixed areas. Remarkably these notions are…
We present a large family of Spin(p,q)-valued discrete spectral problems. The associated discrete nets generated by the so called Sym-Tafel formula are circular nets (i.e., all elementary quadrilaterals are inscribed into circles). These…
Weingarten transformations which, by definition, preserve the asymptotic lines on smooth surfaces have been studied extensively in classical differential geometry and also play an important role in connection with the modern geometric…
Principal binets are a discretization of curvature line parametrized surfaces defined on the vertices and faces of the square lattice $\Z^2$. They generalize the previously established discretizations given by circular nets, conical nets,…
We propose a discretization of classical confocal coordinates. It is based on a novel characterization thereof as factorizable orthogonal coordinate systems. Our geometric discretization leads to factorizable discrete nets with a novel…
We consider discrete nets in Grassmannians $\mathbb{G}^d_r$ which generalize Q-nets (maps $\mathbb{Z}^N\to\mathbb{P}^d$ with planar elementary quadrilaterals) and Darboux nets ($\mathbb{P}^d$-valued maps defined on the edges of…
We present a definition of discrete channel surfaces in Lie sphere geometry, which reflects several properties for smooth channel surfaces. Various sets of data, defined at vertices, on edges or on faces, are associated with a discrete…
We show that the discrete principal nets in quadrics of constant curvature that have constant mixed area mean curvature can be characterized by the existence of a K\"onigs dual in a concentric quadric.
We consider $n$-dimensional discrete motions such that any two neighbouring positions correspond in a pure rotation ("rotating motions"). In the Study quadric model of Euclidean displacements these motions correspond to quadrilateral nets…
Canonical parametrisations of classical confocal coordinate systems are introduced and exploited to construct non-planar analogues of incircular (IC) nets on individual quadrics and systems of confocal quadrics. Intimate connections with…
Motivated by the classical studies on transformations of conjugate nets, we develop the general geometric theory of transformations of their discrete analogues: the multidimensional quadrilateral lattices, i.e. lattices x: Z^N -> R^M, whose…
Discrete differential geometry aims to develop discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and methods of classical differential geometry. In this survey we discuss the following two fundamental Discretization Principles: the…
Following the previous authors works (joint with I.A.Dynnikov) we develop a theory of the discrete analogs of the differential-geometrical (DG) connections in the triangulated manifolds. We study a nonstandard discretization based on the…
We review recent results on Integrable Discrete Geometry. It turns out that most of the known (continuous and/or discrete) integrable systems are particular symmetries of the quadrilateral lattice, a multidimensional lattice characterized…
We propose a natural discretisation scheme for classical projective minimal surfaces. We follow the classical geometric characterisation and classification of projective minimal surfaces and introduce at each step canonical discrete models…
We consider in this paper discrete improper affine spheres based on asymptotic nets. In this context, we distinguish the discrete edges and vertices that must be considered singular. The singular edges can be considered as discrete cuspidal…
