The Ehrhart ring of the edge polytope $\mathcal{P}_G$ for a connected simple graph $G$ is known to coincide with the edge ring of the same graph if $G$ satisfies the odd cycle condition. This paper gives for a graph which does not satisfy…
We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover…
We investigate the folding problem that asks if a polygon P can be folded to a polyhedron Q for given P and Q. Recently, an efficient algorithm for this problem has been developed when Q is a box. We extend this idea to regular polyhedra,…
Starting from any finite simple graph, one can build a reflexive polytope known as a symmetric edge polytope. The first goal of this paper is to show that symmetric edge polytopes are intrinsically matroidal objects: more precisely, we…
A simplicial polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to simplices. We deal with the edge connectivity of the graphs of simplicial polytopes. We first establish that, for any $d\ge 3$, for any $d\ge 3$,…
This paper aims to show that there exists a triangulation of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ into singular simplexes with regularity properties on both the low-dimensional and high-dimensional layers. For low dimensions, we request our…
Polypolyhedra (after R. Lang) are compounds of edge-transitive 1-skeleta. There are 54 topologically different polypolyhedra, and each has icosidodecahedral, cuboctahedral, or tetrahedral symmetry, all are realizable as modular origami…
In [B.Gruenbaum, G.C. Shephard, Spherical tilings with transitivity properties, in: The geometric vein, Springer, New York, 1981, pp. 65-98], they proved "for every spherical normal tiling by congruent tiles, if it is isohedral, then the…
We characterise the quartic (i.e. 4-regular) multigraphs with the property that every edge lies in a triangle. The main result is that such graphs are either squares of cycles, line multigraphs of cubic multigraphs, or are obtained from…
Every regular map on a closed surface gives rise to generally six regular maps, its "Petrie relatives", that are obtained through iteration of the duality and Petrie operations (taking duals and Petrie-duals). It is shown that the skeletal…
A quasigeodesic is a curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron that has $\le \pi$ surface to each side at every point. In contrast, a geodesic has exactly $\pi$ to each side and so can never pass through a vertex, whereas quasigeodesics…
A $3$-polytope is a $3$-connected, planar graph. It is called unigraphic if it does not share its vertex degree sequence with any other $3$-polytope, up to graph isomorphism. The classification of unigraphic $3$-polytopes appears to be a…
It is shown that a simple graph which is embeddable in the real projective plane is minimally 3-rigid if and only if it is (3,6)-tight. Moreover the topologically uncontractible embedded graphs of this type are constructible from one of 8…
In this paper, we study orthogonal representations of simple graphs $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ from an algebraic perspective in case $d = 2$. Orthogonal representations of graphs, introduced by Lov\'asz, are maps from the vertex set to…
We investigate how to make the surface of a convex polyhedron (a polytope) by folding up a polygon and gluing its perimeter shut, and the reverse process of cutting open a polytope and unfolding it to a polygon. We explore basic enumeration…
A biased graph is a graph with a class of selected circles ("cycles", "circuits"), called "balanced", such that no theta subgraph contains exactly two balanced circles. A biased graph has two natural matroids, the frame matroid and the lift…
The main objects of the paper are $z$-oriented triangulations of connected closed $2$-dimensional surfaces. A $z$-orientation of a map is a minimal collection of zigzags which double covers the set of edges. We have two possibilities for an…
We present the results of an investigation into the representations of Archimedean polyhedra (those polyhedra containing only one type of vertex figure) as quotients of regular abstract polytopes. Two methods of generating these…
In a planar confluent orthogonal drawing (PCOD) of a directed graph (digraph) vertices are drawn as points in the plane and edges as orthogonal polylines starting with a vertical segment and ending with a horizontal segment. Edges may…
Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…
