Minimal surfaces are among the most natural objects in Differential Geometry, and have been studied for the past 250 years ever since the pioneering work of Lagrange. The subject is characterized by a profound beauty, but perhaps even more…
We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.
This paper investigates a variational model for splines in the image metamorphosis model for the smooth interpolation of key frames in the space of images. The Riemannian manifold of images based on the metamorphosis model defines shortest…
We obtain a unified theory of discrete minimal surfaces based on discrete holomorphic quadratic differentials via a Weierstrass representation. Our discrete holomorphic quadratic differential are invariant under M\"{o}bius transformations.…
T-curves are piecewise linear curves which have been used with success since the beginning of the 1990's to construct new real algebraic curves with prescribed topology mainly on the real projective plane. In fact T-curves can be used on…
We study contact interactions for long world-lines on a curved surface, focusing on the average number of times two world-lines intersect as a function of their end-points. The result can be used to extend the concept of path-ordering, as…
We construct an invariant of parametrized generic real algebraic surfaces in RP^3 which generalizes the Brown invariant of immersed surfaces from smooth topology. The invariant is constructed using the self intersection, which is a real…
A minimal family of curves on an embedded surface is defined as a 1-dimensional family of rational curves of minimal degree, which cover the surface. We classify such minimal families using constructive methods. This allows us to compute…
We consider Lie minimal surfaces, the critical points of the simplest Lie sphere invariant energy, in Riemannian space forms. These surfaces can be characterized via their Euler-Lagrange equations, which take the form of differential…
A translation surface in the Heisenberg group $\mathrm{Nil}_3$ is a surface constructed by multiplying (using the group operation) two curves. We completely classify minimal translation surfaces in the Heisenberg group $\mathrm{Nil}_3$.
This paper concerns an analytical stratification question of real algebraic and semi-algebraic sets. For Whitney's stratification in 1957, it partitions a real algebraic set into partial algebraic manifolds\cite{W}. In 1975 Hironaka…
We mainly investigate some properties of quasiconformal mappings between smooth 2-dimensional surfaces with boundary in the Euclidean space, satisfying certain partial differential equations (inequalities) concerning Laplacian, and in…
Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in $\mathbb R^4$, such that the points of $P$ lie on an algebraic three-dimensional surface of degree $D$ that does not contain hyperplane or quadric components, and no 2-flat…
Given a minimal surface equipped with a generically finite map to an Abelian variety, we give an optimal bound on the canonical degree of a rational or an elliptic curve. As a corollary, we obtain the finiteness of rational and elliptic…
The Welschinger invariants of real rational algebraic surfaces are natural analogues of the Gromov-Witten invariants, and they estimate from below the number of real rational curves passing through prescribed configurations of points. We…
We analyse waves that propagate along the interface between a dielectric half-space and a half-space filled with a Lorentz material. We show that the corresponding interface condition leads to a generalisation of the classical Leontovich…
We study scattering for the linear Helmholtz operator in two dimensions and develop a technique, which can be used to ascertain scattering of a given incident wave from very regular inhomogeneities. This technique is then applied to a…
Interpolation Theory gives techniques for constructing spaces from two initial Banach spaces. We provide several conditions under which the restriction of a holomorphic map $f:X_0+X_1 \rightarrow Y_0+Y_1$ to the interpolated spaces (using…
Minimal surfaces in a Riemannian manifold $M^n$ are surfaces which are stationary for area: the first variation of area vanishes. In this paper we focus on surfaces of the topological type of the real projective plane $\R P^2$. We show that…
In this note, we present a well-known connection between the Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces, also known as Fractional Sobolev spaces, and interpolation theory. We show how Sobolev spaces can be equivalently characterized as real and complex…
