We prove that the tangent bundle of a generic space of planar n-gons with specified side lengths, identified under isometry, plus a trivial line bundle is isomorphic to (n-2) times a canonical line bundle. We then discuss consequences for…
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
This work reviews the classical Darboux theorem for symplectic, presymplectic, and cosymplectic manifolds (which are used to describe regular and singular mechanical systems), and certain cases of multisymplectic manifolds, and extends it…
The problem of the optimal approximation of circular arcs by parametric polynomial curves is considered. The optimality relates to the Hausdorff distance and have not been studied yet in the literature. Parametric polynomial curves of low…
Convex algebraic geometry concerns the interplay between optimization theory and real algebraic geometry. Its objects of study include convex semialgebraic sets that arise in semidefinite programming and from sums of squares. This article…
Darboux's theorem and Jouanolou's theorem deal with the existence of first integrals and rational first integrals of a polynomial vector field. These results are given in terms of the degree of the polynomial vector field. Here we show that…
We treat the problem of defining, and characterising in a practical way, an appropriate class of distinguished curves for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds, and other conformally singular geometries. These "generalised geodesics" agree with…
We show that the Poincar\'e bundle gives a fully faithful embedding from the derived category of a curve of sufficiently high genus into the derived category of its moduli space of bundles of rank $r$ with fixed determinant of degree 1.…
In this paper, we prove a similar result to the fundamental theorem of regular surfaces in classical differential geometry, which extends the classical theorem to the entire class of singular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space known as frontals.…
We establish second main theorems for holomorphic curves into a projective subvary $V \subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ of dimension $k$, intersecting hypersurfaces in $N$-subgeneral position with respect to $V$ $(N > k)$. Our results…
We construct a continuously differentiable curve in the plane that can be covered by a collection of lines such that every line intersects the curve at a single point and the union of the lines has Hausdorff dimension 1. We show that for…
Modern geometric measure theory, developed largely to solve the Plateau problem, has generated a great deal of technical machinery which is unfortunately regarded as inaccessible by outsiders. Some of its tools (e.g., flat norm distance and…
For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…
For a fixed $p \in \mathbb{N}$, sequences of polynomials $\{P_n\}$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, defined by a $(p+2)$-term recurrence relation are related to several topics in Approximation Theory. A $(p+2)$-banded matrix $J$ determines the…
All rational parametric curves with prescribed polynomial tangent direction form a vector space. Via tangent directions with rational norm, this includes the important case of rational Pythagorean hodograph curves. We study vector subspaces…
We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…
We develop a theory of parametrized geometric cobordism by introducing smooth Thom stacks. This requires identifying and constructing a smooth representative of the Thom functor acting on vector bundles equipped with extra geometric data,…
The practically important classes of equal-input and of monotone Markov matrices are revisited, with special focus on embeddability, infinite divisibility, and mutual relations. Several uniqueness results for the classic Markov embedding…
An alternative, geometrical proof of a known theorem concerning the decomposition of positive maps of the matrix algebra $M_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ has been presented. The premise of the proof is the identification of positive maps with operators…
We describe all special curves in the parameter space of complex cubic polynomials, that is all algebraic irreducible curves containing infinitely many post-critically finite polynomials. This solves in a strong form a conjecture by Baker…
