This thesis develops the theory of bundle gerbes and examines a number of useful constructions in this theory. These allow us to gain a greater insight into the structure of bundle gerbes and related objects. Furthermore they naturally lead…
A circle of an infinite locally finite graph $G$ is the imagine of a homeomorphic mapping of the unit circle $S^1$ in $|G|$, the Freudenthal compactification of $G$. A circle of $G$ is Hamiltonian if it meets every vertex (and then every…
This note is purely expository. The statement of the Gauss theorem on the constructibility of regular polygons by means of compass and ruler is simple and well-known. However, its proofs given in most textbooks rely upon much unmotivated…
We give a short, topological proof that all graphs admit tree-decompositions displaying their topological ends.
We construct simple curves from immersed curves in the setting of handlebodies and Heegaard splittings. We define a measure of complexity we call girth for closed curves in a handlebody. We extend this complexity to Heegaard splittings and…
In the making of origami, one starts with a piece of paper, and through a series of folds along seed points one constructs complicated three-dimensional shapes. Mathematically, one can think of the complex numbers as representing the piece…
The writhe of a space curve fragment is considered for various boundary conditions. An expression for the writhe as a function of arclength for an arbitrary space curve is obtained. The formula is built on the base of closing the tangent…
We directly connect topological changes that can occur in mathematical three-space via surgery, with black hole formation, the formation of wormholes and new generalizations of these phenomena. This work widens the bridge between topology…
An introduction to the applications of algebraic surgery to the structure theory of high-dimensional topological manifolds.
Geometric discretisation draws analogies between discrete objects and operations on a complex with continuum ones on a manifold. We generalise the theory to the cubic case and incorporate metric, by adding volume factors to our discrete…

In 1986, Oliver Pretzel studied the set of orientations of a connected finite graph $G$ and showed that any two such orientations having the same flow-difference around all closed loops can be obtained from one another by a succession of…
In this article we'll emphasize on two triangles and provide a vectorial proof of the fact that these triangles have the same orthocenter. This proof will further allow us to develop a vectorial proof of the Stevanovic's theorem relative to…
Details for known solutions of some geometric and algebraic problems with the help of origami are presented: two theorems of Haga, the general cubic equation, especially the heptagon equation, doubling the cube as well as the trisection of…
The geometries of spaces having as groups the real orthogonal groups and some of their contractions are described from a common point of view. Their central extensions and Casimirs are explicitly given. An approach to the trigonometry of…
A method is proposed to construct spiral curves by inversion of a spiral arc of parabola. The resulting curve is rational of 4-th order. Proper selection of the parabolic arc and parameters of inversion allows to match a wide range of…
Let O be a cyclic topological operad with multiplication. In the framework of the cosimplicial machinery by McClure and Smith, we prove that the totalization of the cosimplicial space associated to O has an action of an operad equivalent to…
In this paper, constructions of regular pentagon and decagon, and the calculation of the main trigonometric ratios of the corresponding central angles are approached. In this way, for didactic purposes, it is intended to show the reader…
We give a method to construct deep holes for elliptic curve codes. For long elliptic curve codes, we conjecture that our construction is complete in the sense that it gives all deep holes. Some evidence and heuristics on the completeness…
The solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source located at an arbitrary position generally consists of a sum of two terms: that defined by the cylindrical surface ($\Omega_{cyl}$) and the other by either of the end…
