A certain real number, depending on two neighbouring sides of a quadrilateral and the diagonal meeting these two sides at their common point, is shown to be invariant under affinity. As an application we demonstrate a nice formula for the…
A scalar field in the ground state, when partially hidden from observation by a spherical boundary, acquires entanglement entropy $S$ proportional to the area of the surface. This area law is well established in flat space, where it follows…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with hyperbolic metric $\lambda_\Omega(z)|dz|$ of Gaussian curvature $-4.$ Mejia and Minda proved in their 1990 paper that $\Omega$ is (Euclidean) convex if and only if…
We consider the expected value for the total curvature of a random closed polygon. Numerical experiments have suggested that as the number of edges becomes large, the difference between the expected total curvature of a random closed…
We consider embedded ring-type surfaces (that is, compact, connected, orientable surfaces with two boundary components and Euler-Poincar\'{e} characteristic zero) in ${\bold R}^3$ of constant mean curvature which meet planes $\Pi_1$ and…
We provide a new quantitative version of Helly's theorem: there exists an absolute constant $\alpha >1$ with the following property: if $\{P_i: i\in I\}$ is a finite family of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with ${\rm int}\left…
Real-valued triplet of scalar fields as source gives rise to a metric which tilts the scalar, not the light cone, in 2+1-dimensions. The topological metric is static, regular and it is characterized by an integer $\kappa =\pm 1,\pm 2,...$.…
For all $1<p<\infty$ and $N\ge 2$ we prove that there is a constant $\alpha(p,N)>0$ such that the $p$-harmonic measure in $\R^N_+$ of a ball of radius $0 < \delta \leq 1$ in $\R^{N-1}$ is bounded above and below by a constant times $\delta…
A set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called equiangular if the angle between each pair of lines is the same. We derive new upper bounds on the cardinality of equiangular lines. Let us denote the maximum cardinality of equiangular lines in…
It is known that the flip distance between two triangulations of a convex polygon is related to the minimum number of tetrahedra in the triangulation of some polyhedron. It is interesting to know whether these two numbers are the same. In…
In this paper we prove Bialy's conjecture which states that if the Mather beta functions of two ellipses coincide at two nonzero rotation numbers then the ellipses coincide. We also show that the same conclusion holds when only one rotation…
Let $k$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, $A$ be a domain and $K=\mathrm{frac}(A)$. Then (1) All exponential maps of $k^{[3]}$ are rigid, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the triangularity of $\delta \in…
Observing the list of compatible second order equations of Absolute Parallelism (AP) found by Einstein and Mayer (they used D=4), we choose the one-parameter class of equations which take on a 3-linear form (when contra-frame density of…
We consider Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) in a two-dimensional wedge. We prove that if the angle of the wedge is smaller than $\pi/4$, there is some $a>2$ such that almost surely, for all $R$ large enough, after time $R^a$ all new…
Suppose a smooth planar curve $\gamma$ is $2\pi$-periodic in the $x$ direction and the length of one period is $\ell$. It is shown that if $\gamma$ self-intersects, then it has a segment of length $\ell- 2\pi$ on which it self-intersects…
A directed graph is oriented if it can be obtained by orienting the edges of a simple, undirected graph. For an oriented graph $G$, let $\beta(G)$ denote the size of a minimum feedback arc set, a smallest subset of edges whose deletion…
Various integrals over elliptic integrals are evaluated as couplings on spheres, resulting in some integral and series representations for the mathematical constants $\pi$, $G$ and $\zeta(3)$.
We demonstrate that the angle between star's rotation axis and the observer's line-of-sight, usually called the inclination angle, can be reliably determined for Be stars via H$\alpha$ emission-line profile fitting. We test our method on a…
Contraction analysis uses a local criterion to prove the long-term behaviour of a dynamical system. A contraction metric is a Riemannian metric with respect to which the distance between adjacent solutions contracts. If adjacent solutions…
A rotating, two dimensional stellar model is evolved to match the approximate conditions of Alpha Oph. Both axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric oscillation frequencies are computed for 2D rotating models which approximate the properties of…
