Given a triangulation of a closed topological cube, we show that (under some technical condition) there is an essentially unique tiling of a rectangular parallelepiped by cubes, indexed by the vertices of the triangulation. Moreover, i -…

We prove that 3-dimensional ellipsoids invariant under a 2-torus action contain infinitely many distinct immersed minimal tori, with at most one exception. These minimal tori bifurcate from the 2-torus orbit of largest volume at a dense set…

Let $L$ be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain an ${\mathsf M}_3$-sublattice). We call the interval $I = [o, i]$ of $L$ \emph{rectangular}, if there are complementary $a, b \in I$ such that $a$ is to the…

We study the problem of minimum enclosing rectangle with outliers, which asks to find, for a given set of $n$ planar points, a rectangle with minimum area that encloses at least $(n-t)$ points. The uncovered points are regarded as outliers.…

Denoting by $\mathcal{E}\subseteq \R^2$ the set of the pairs $(\lambda_1(\Omega),\lambda_2(\Omega))$ for all the open sets $\Omega\subseteq\R^N$ with unit measure, and by $\Theta\subseteq\R^N$ the union of two disjoint balls of half…

We prove that for each positive integer g, there exists a complete minimal surface of genus g that is properly embedded in three-dimensional euclidean space and that is asymptotic to the helicoid.

We show that any general semilinear elliptic problem with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions in an annulus A in R^2m ;m >1, invariant by the action of a certain symmetry group can be reduced to a nonhomogenous similar problem in an…

A unit spherical Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) D is a matrix whose entries can be realized as the interpoint (squared) Euclidean distances of n points on a unit sphere. In this paper, given such a D and 1 \leq k < l \leq n, we present a…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. The reduced minimal model of $E$ is a global minimal model $y^{2}+a_{1}xy+a_{3}y=x^{3}+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{4}x+a_{6}$ which satisfies the additional conditions that $a_{1},a_{3}\in \{0,1\}$ and…

In a series of three papers we develop an end space theory for digraphs. Here in the second paper we introduce the topological space $|D|$ formed by a digraph $D$ together with its ends and limit edges. We then characterise those digraphs…

We show that there exists a metric with positive scalar curvature on S2xS1 and a sequence of embedded minimal cylinders that converges to a minimal lamination that, in a neighborhood of a strictly stable 2-sphere, is smooth except at two…

We derive several results in classical Euclidean elementary geometry using the steering ellipsoid formalism from quantum mechanics. This gives a physically motivated derivation of very non-trivial geometric results, some of which are…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by no more than one other edge (and any pair of crossing edges cross only once). A non-1-planar graph $G$ is minimal if the graph $G-e$ is 1-planar for every…

A perfect (Delaunay) ellipsoid is an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space that does not contain integral points in its interior, but is uniquely defined by integral points that lie on its surface. A perfect Delaunay polytope with…

Given $2n \times 2n$ real symmetric positive semidefinite matrix $A$ with symplectic kernel, there exists a real $2n \times 2n$ \emph{symplectic matrix} $M$ such that $M^TAM= D \oplus D$, where $D$ is an $n \times n$ non-negative diagonal…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{2N}(\delta_1, \delta_2,\dots, \delta_N)$ be the moduli space of centrally symmetric convex polyhedral surfaces with $2N$ labeled vertices and prescribed cone-deficits $\delta_1$, $\delta_2$, $\dots$, $\delta_N$. We show…

This paper studies properties of tilings of the plane by parallelograms. In particular it is established that in parallelogram tilings using a finite number of shapes all tiles occur in only finitely many orientations.

We study a new geometric graph parameter $\egd(G)$, defined as the smallest integer $r\ge 1$ for which any partial symmetric matrix which is completable to a correlation matrix and whose entries are specified at the positions of the edges…

Given independent standard Gaussian points $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ in dimension $d$, for what values of $(n, d)$ does there exist with high probability an origin-symmetric ellipsoid that simultaneously passes through all of the points? This…

For a given elliptic curve $E$ over a finite local ring, we denote by $E^{\infty}$ its subgroup at infinity. Every point $P \in E^{\infty}$ can be described solely in terms of its $x$-coordinate $P_x$, which can be therefore used to…
