Suppose (X,\omega) is a compact K\"ahler manifold. In the present work we propose a simple construction for weak geodesic rays in the space of K\"ahler metrics that seems to be tied together with properties of the class E(X,\omega). As an…

We consider practical aspects of reconstructing planar curves with prescribed Euclidean or affine curvatures. These curvatures are invariant under the special Euclidean group and the equi-affine groups, respectively, and play an important…

In this paper, we give a definition of harmonic curvature functions in terms of V_{n} and define a new kind of slant helix which is called V_{n}-slant helix in n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Also, we give important…

Let M{\subset}\mathbb{R}^{n} be a Riemannian helix submanifold with respect to the unit direction d{\in}\mathbb{R}^{n} and f:M{\to}\mathbb{R} be a eikonal function. We say that M is a f-eikonal helix submanifold if for each q{\in}M the…

We investigate the Hilbert scheme of points on curves with n-fold singularities, that is curves that look locally around their singular points as the axis in an affine space. We describe the structure and number of its irreducible…

We give a metric characterization of the Euclidean sphere in terms of the lower bound of the sectional curvature and the length of the shortest closed geodesics.

We give an elementary introduction to hyperk\"ahler manifolds, survey some of their interesting properties and some open problems.

We characterize the biharmonic curves in the special linear group $SL(2,R)$. In particular, we show that all proper biharmonic curves in $SL(2,R)$are helices and we give their explicit parametrizations as curves in the pseudo-Euclidean…

This article introduces and studies the tight approximation property, a property of algebraic varieties defined over the function field of a complex or real curve that refines the weak approximation property (and the known cohomological…

This is an expository note to give a brief review of classical elastica theory, mainly prepared for giving a more detailed proof of the author's Li--Yau type inequality for self-intersecting curves in Euclidean space. We also discuss some…

We show that in any infinitesimally Hilbertian $CD^*(K,N)$-space at almost every point there exists a Euclidean weak tangent, i.e. there exists a sequence of dilations of the space that converges to a Euclidean space in the pointed measured…

This paper addresses weak approximation for rationally connected varieties defined over the function field of a curve, especially at places of bad reduction. Our approach entails analyzing the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of…

A space curve in a Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb E^3$ is called a rectifying curve if its position vector field always lies in its rectifying plane. This notion of rectifying curves was introduced by the author in [Amer. Math. Monthly {\bf…

The article deals with plastic and non-plastic sub-spaces $A$ of the real line ${\mathbb{R}}$ with the usual Euclidean metric $d$. It investigates non-expansive bijections, proves properties of such maps and demonstrates their relevance by…

We review recent developments in special geometry and explain its role in the theory of supersymmetric black holes. To make this article self-contained, a short introduction to black holes is given, with emphasis on the laws of black hole…

We consider a unit speed curve $\alpha$ in Euclidean $n$-dimensional space $E^n$ and denote the Frenet frame by $\{v_1,...,v_n\}$. We say that $\alpha$ is a cylindrical helix if its tangent vector $v_1$ makes a constant angle with a fixed…

A closed curve in the plane is weakly simple if it is the limit (in the Fr\'echet metric) of a sequence of simple closed curves. We describe an algorithm to determine whether a closed walk of length n in a simple plane graph is weakly…

The Dirichlet p-Laplacian in tubes of arbitrary cross-section along infinite curves in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension is investigated. First, it is shown that the gap between the lowest point of the generalised spectrum and the…

We show that closed hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with nonnegative scalar curvature are weakly mean convex. In contrast, the statement is no longer true if the scalar curvature is replaced by the k-th mean curvature, for k greater than…
