Geometric algebra is the natural outgrowth of the concept of a vector and the addition of vectors. After reviewing the properties of the addition of vectors, a multiplication of vectors is introduced in such a way that it encodes the famous…

Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long-standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many…

These lectures were a part of the geometry course held during the Fall 2011 Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters (MASS) Program at Penn State (\url{http://www.math.psu.edu/mass/}). The lectures are meant to be accessible to advanced…

This paper exposes the language of geometric contexts and elementary schemes, which is a functorial formalism to study categories of geometric objects such as schemes, topological manifolds, differential manifolds, analytic manifolds, etc.…

We study a class of complex polynomial equations on a finite graph with a view to understanding how holistic phenomena emerge from combinatorial structure. Particular solutions arise from orthogonal projections of regular polytopes,…

A convex geometry is a closure system satisfying the anti-exchange property. This paper, following the work of K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat (2016) and the Polymath REU 2020 team, continues to investigate representations of convex geometries…

We study two $2$-dimensional Teichm\"uller spaces of surfaces with boundary and marked points, namely, the pentagon and the punctured triangle. We show that their geometry is quite different from Teichm\"uller spaces of closed surfaces.…

This work is motivated by two problems: 1) The approach of manifolds and spaces by triangulations. 2) The complexity growth in sequences of polyhedra. Considering both problems as related, new criteria and methods for approximating smooth…

We show that a wide class of geometrically defined overdetermined semilinear partial differential equations may be explicitly prolonged to obtain closed systems. As a consequence, in the case of linear equations we extract sharp bounds on…

The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals of Type $a^2bc$ are classified as $3$ classes: a sequence of two-parameter families of $2$-layer earth map tilings with $2n$ $(n\ge3)$ tiles, a one-parameter family of…

Solving a system of polynomial equations is a ubiquitous problem in the applications of mathematics. Until recently, it has been hopeless to find explicit solutions to such systems, and mathematics has instead developed deep and powerful…

Let S be a triangulated 2-sphere with fixed triangulation T. We apply the methods of thin position from knot theory to obtain a simple version of the three geodesics theorem for the 2-sphere [5]. In general these three geodesics may be…

We usually think of 2-dimensional manifolds as surfaces embedded in Euclidean 3-space. Since humans cannot visualise Euclidean spaces of higher dimensions, it appears to be impossible to give pictorial representations of higher-dimensional…
