We investigate the isomorphism problem in the setting of definable sets (equivalent to sets with atoms): given two definable relational structures, are they related by a definable isomorphism? Under mild assumptions on the underlying…

The optimal one-sided parametric polynomial approximants of a circular arc are considered. More precisely, the approximant must be entirely in or out of the underlying circle of an arc. The natural restriction to an arc's approximants…

We describe a parametrization of the box variety (variety of cuboids) by theta functions. This will imply that the box variety is a modular variety. Actually this parametrization can be defined over the Gauss number field.
