Let $C$ be a complex irreducible plane curve that is not the vanishing locus of a modular polynomial. We show that $C$ contains finitely many real algebraic curves whose projection on each coordinate axis is a union of special geodesics.
We investigate the space of abelian relations of planar webs admitting infinitesimal automorphisms. As an application, we construct 4k-14 new algebraic families of global exceptionnal k-webs on the projective plane, for each k >4.
In this paper, we give polynomial-time algorithms that can take a graph G with a given combinatorial embedding on an orientable surface S of genus g and produce a planar drawing of G in R^2, with a bounding face defined by a polygonal…
We prove that alternating links with two totally geodesic checkerboard surfaces are three links with projection the 1-skeleton of the octahedron, the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. We also characterize these links as right-angled…
In this paper we construct a new class of surfaces whose geodesic flow is integrable (in the sense of Liouville). We do so by generalizing the notion of tubes about curves to 3-dimensional manifolds, and using Jacobi fields we derive…
Here we briefly describe some topics along the lines of projective spaces and related geometric constructions connected to linear algebra, which provide fundamental examples in classical geometry and analysis.
We give a new elementary proof of the parallelizability of closed orientable 3-manifolds. We use as the main tool the fact that any such manifold admits a Heegaard splitting.
Let W be a planar 3-web defined on a neighborhood of a point M. We call "symmetry of W around M" any local diffeomorphism which fixes M and maps each foliation of W to a (not necessarily the same) foliation of W. We say that it is a simple…
We propose a classification of polyhedra (planar, $3$-connected graphs) according to their type i.e., their set of quantities of common neighbours for each pair of distinct vertices. For every (finite) set of non-negative integers, we…
Iterated planar contact manifolds are a generalization of three dimensional planar contact manifolds to higher dimensions. We study some basic topological properties of iterated planar contact manifolds and discuss several examples and…
Inspired by the structure of $srs$ Laves networks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that underpin the celebrated gyroid surface, we construct a Laves network of identical three-coordinated vertices on $S^3$ with double-twist. This network is a subset of…
We study the geometry of spaces of planes on smooth complete intersections of three quadrics, with a view toward rationality questions.
This report lists the link diagrams in S^3 for all principal congruence link complements for which such a link diagram is known. Several unpublished link diagrams are included. Related to this, we also include one link diagram for an…
In this paper we consider planar polygons with parallel opposite sides. This type of polygons can be regarded as discretizations of closed convex planar curves by taking tangent lines at samples with pairwise parallel tangents. For this…
I construct infinite families of knots and links with totally geodesic spanning surfaces, which we call TGS knots and TGS links, in various 3-manifolds. These 3-manifolds include thickened orientable surfaces, the sphere cross the circle,…
A linkage is a finite graph with lengths assigned to each edge. A planar realization is a map to the plane which preserves edge lengths. It can be thought of as a mechanical device formed from stiff rods and rotating joints. We look at the…
We construct all planar semimodular lattices in three simple steps from the direct product of two chains.
In this paper we extend some classical NP-hardness results from the class of 2-connected planar graphs to subclasses of 3-connected planar graphs. The reduction are partly based on a new graph augmentation, which may be of independent…
We consider embeddings of 3-regular graphs into 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if two of their three coordinates are equal (that is, if they lie on an axis-parallel line) and…
We examine connections between the gonality, treewidth, and orientable genus of a graph. Especially, we find that hyperelliptic graphs in the sense of Baker and Norine are planar. We give a notion of a bielliptic graph and show that each of…
