We construct configuration spaces for cyclic covers of the projective line that admit extra automorphisms and we describe the locus of curves with given automorphism group. As an application we provide examples of arbitrary high genus that…
We prove the existence of a new class of constant mean curvature cylinders with an arbitrary number of umbilics by unitarizing the monodromy of Hill's equation.
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,…
Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…
Given a set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, a hollow polytope has vertices in $S$ but contains no other point of $S$ in its interior. We prove upper and lower bounds on the maximum number of vertices of hollow polytopes whose facets are…
Generalizing a result (the case $k = 1$) due to M. A. Perles, we show that any polytopal upper bound sphere of odd dimension $2k + 1$ belongs to the generalized Walkup class ${\cal K}_k(2k + 1)$, i.e., all its vertex links are $k$-stacked…
The simplicial endofunctor induced by a comonad in some category may underly a cyclic object in its category of endofunctors. The cyclic symmetry is then given by a sequence of natural transformations. We write down the commutation…
Polytopes from subgraph statistics are important in applications and conjectures and theorems in extremal graph theory can be stated as properties of them. We have studied them with a view towards applications by inscribing large explicit…
Consider a polynomial F such that each variable appears in exactly one monomial. The hypersurface defined by the polynomial F is called a hypersurface with separable variables. A variety is called rigid if there are no nontrivial actions of…
Discrete analogs of extrema of curvature and generalizations of the four-vertex theorem to the case of polygons and polyhedra are suggested and developed. For smooth curves and polygonal lines in the plane, a formula relating the number of…
It is shown that monic orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are the characteristic polynomials of certain five-diagonal matrices depending on the Schur parameters. This result is achieved through the study of orthogonal Laurent…
Singular hyperbolicity is a weakened form of hyperbolicity that has been introduced for vector fields in order to allow non-isolated singularities inside the non-wandering set. A typical example of a singular hyperbolic set is the Lorenz…
We study incidence geometries that are thin and residually connected. These geometries generalise abstract polytopes. In this generalised setting, guided by the ideas from the polytopes theory, we introduce the concept of chirality, a…
Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…
We study a family of polytopes and their duals, that appear in various optimization problems as the unit balls for certain norms. These two families interpolate between the hypercube, the unit ball for the $\infty$-norm, and its dual…
We analyse the fine convergence properties of one parameter families of hyperbolic metrics, on a fixed underlying surface, that move always in a horizontal direction, i.e. orthogonal to the action of diffeomorphisms.
We study topological properties of automorphisms of 4-dimensional torus generated by integer symplectic matrices. The main classifying element is the structure of the topology of a foliation generated by unstable leaves of the automorphism.…
Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…
The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications…
We study a simplicial mixed polynomial of cyclic type and its associated weighted homogeneous polynomial. In the present paper, we show that their links are diffeomorphic and their Milnor fibrations are isomorphic.
