Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…
We study configuration spaces of linkages whose underlying graph are polygons with diagonal constrains, or more general, partial two-trees. We show that (with an appropriate definition) the oriented area is a Bott-Morse function on the…
We give embedding theorems for weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces on the ball and then apply our results to the study of composition operators in this context. As one of the motivations of this work, we show that there exist some weighted…
We introduce a notion of equivariant coarse cohomology of the complement of a subspace in a metric space. We use this cohomology to define a notion of coarse cohomology of the configuration space of a metric space and develop tools to…
We study the smallest intersecting and enclosing ball problems in Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. They link and unify many problems in computational geometry and machine learning. We show that both problems…
Shape grammars compute over shapes which are defined in the universe $U^*$. Shapes in the universe $U^*$ are analogous to line drawings that can be physically realized in the plane. Any shape is embedded or contained in an arrangement of…
A method for embedding graphs in Euclidean space is suggested. The method connects nodes to their geographically closest neighbors and economizes on the total physical length of links. The topological and geometrical properties of…
In this article we use the combinatorial and geometric structure of manifolds with embedded cylinders in order to develop an adiabatic decomposition of the Hodge cohomology of these manifolds. We will on the one hand describe the adiabatic…
The usual notion of set-convexity, valid in the classical Euclidean context, metamorphoses into several distinct convexity types in the more general Riemannian setting. By studying this phenomenon in reverse, we characterize complete…
We discuss some specializations of the frames of flat orthonormal frame bundles over geometries of indefinite signature, and the resulting symmetries of families of embedded Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian geometries. The specializations…
We consider tilings of Euclidean spaces by polygons or polyhedra, in particular, tilings made by a substitution process, such as the Penrose tilings of the plane. We define an isomorphism invariant related to a subgroup of rotations and…
In this paper we study free mappings of the plane, that is orientation preserving fixed point free homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^2$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which two free mappings of the plane that are…
Cycloids, hipocycloids and epicycloids have an often forgotten common property: they are homothetic to their evolutes. But what if use convex symmetric polygons as unit balls, can we define evolutes and cycloids which are genuinely…
We explore the special structure of the top-dimensional homology of any compact triangulable space $X$ of dimension $d$. Since there are no $(d+1)$-dimensional cells, the top homology equals the top cycles and is thus a free abelian group.…
In this note, we study the geometric structure of the parameter sets governing continuous embeddings between weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces. First, for a fixed pair of growth functions, we show that the set of admissible weight exponents…
This paper is the second in a series where we attempt to give a complete description of the space of all embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus in a fixed (but arbitrary) closed 3-manifold. The key for understanding such surfaces is to…
A (possibly denerate) drawing of a graph $G$ in the plane is approximable by an embedding if it can be turned into an embedding by an arbitrarily small perturbation. We show that testing, whether a straight-line drawing of a planar graph…
We estimate from below the number of lines meeting each of given 4 disjoint smooth closed curves in a given cyclic order in the real projective 3-space and in a given linear order in the Euclidean 3-space. Similarly, we estimate the number…
Let C be a simple, closed, directed curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P. We identify several classes of curves C that "live on a cone," in the sense that C and a neighborhood to one side may be isometrically embedded on the…
The classification of electron systems according to their topology has been at the forefront of condensed matter research in recent years. It has been found that systems of the same symmetry, previously thought of as equivalent, may in fact…
