We describe convex hulls of the simplest compact space curves, reducible quartics consisting of two circles. When the circles do not meet in complex projective space, their algebraic boundary contains an irrational ruled surface of degree…
In this paper, we study generalized constant ratio surfaces in the Euclidean 4-space. We also obtain a classifications of constant slope surfaces.
This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64. In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of…
We study parabolic linear Weingarten surfaces in hyperbolic space $\rlopezh^3$. In particular, we classify two family of parabolic surfaces: surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature and surfaces that satisfy the relation…
We introduce a new family of affine metrics on a locally strictly convex surface $M$ in affine 4-space. Then, we define the symmetric and antisymmetric equiaffine planes associated with each metric. We show that if $M$ is immersed in a…
A general net of quadric surfaces, together with a choice of a base point, defines a net of plane cubics via the Gale transformation of the remaining seven base points. To both nets, one can also naturally associate the same smooth plane…
We develop a circle of ideas involving pairs of lines in the plane, intersections of hyperbolically rotated elliptical cones and the locus of the centers of rectangles inscribed in lines in the plane.
The characteristic numbers of smooth plane quartics are computed using intersection theory on a component of the moduli space of stable maps. This completes the verification of Zeuthen's prediction of characteristic numbers of smooth plane…
Ternary real-valued quartics in $\mathbb{R}^3$ being invariant under octahedral symmetry are considered. The geometric classification of these surfaces is given. A new type of surfaces emerge from this classification.
We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb R^5$ by relating it to the geometry of regular and singular surfaces in $\mathbb R^4$ obtained by orthogonal projections. In particular, we obtain relations between asymptotic directions, which…
Here are described the geometric structures of the lines of principal curvature and the partially umbilic singularities of the tridimensional non compact generic quadric hypersurfaces of ${\mathbb R}^4$. This includes the ellipsoidal…
Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…
We study convex subsets of buildings, discuss some structural features and derive several characterizations of buildings.
Graph convexity has been used as an important tool to better understand the structure of classes of graphs. Many studies are devoted to determine if a graph equipped with a convexity is a {\em convex geometry}. In this work we survey…
Cubical rectangles are being defined and explored here over the $n-$dimensional geometric cube $Q_n.$ They form a new class of geometric objects that includes all the edges and all the squares of the $n-$cube. We enumerate and characterize…
The higher order contact of a quadric with a surface in $3$-space at a non-degenerate point is obtained by the Moutard quadric in the Darboux direction. In this paper, we discuss the extension of this result to hypersurfaces in arbitrary…
We investigate three-dimensional surfaces where the normal vector forms a constant angle with the radius vector. These surfaces naturally extend equiangular (logarithmic) spirals in the plane.
We give an explicit construction for the $4$-dimensional family of Schoen surfaces by computing equations for their canonical images, which are $40$-nodal complete intersections of a quadric and the Igusa quartic in $\mathbb P^4$. We then…
In this paper, based on the theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space which generalizes the theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, beside other results, we will give a characterization of points on…
We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…
