Analytical expressions are provided for the configurations of an inextensible, flexible, twistable inertial string rotating rigidly about a fixed axis. Solutions with trivial radial dependence are helices of arbitrary radius and pitch.…

Certain objects of conformal field theory, for example partition functions on the rectangle and the torus, and one-point functions on the torus, are either invariant or transform simply under the modular group, properties which should be…

The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…

We formulate a class of minimal tori in S^3 in terms of classical mechanics, reveal a curious property of the Clifford torus, and note that the question of periodicity can be made more explicit in a simple way.

We prove the 2-torus $\mathbb T$, an abelian linear algebraic group, is a fine moduli space of labeled, oriented, possibly-degenerate inscribable similarity classes of triangles, where a triangle is {\it inscribable} if it can be inscribed…

For a pair of spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $Y \subseteq X$, we define the relative topological complexity of the pair $(X,Y)$ as a new variant of relative topological complexity. Intuitively, this corresponds to counting the smallest number…

We study the complexification of the one-dimensional Newtonian particle in a monomial potential. We discuss two classes of motions on the associated Riemann surface: the rectilinear and the cyclic motions, corresponding to two different…

We provide a nontrivial bound on the rank of any tensor $T$ over the quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ in the $n_1\times n_2\times n_3$ cases where $2\leq n_i\leq 3$. We describe a decomposition of $T$ into $3$ simple tensors in the $2\times 2\times…

We are interested in the naive problem whether we can move a solid object in a solid box or not. We restrict move to rotation. In the case we can, the centre and the ``direction'' of rotation may be restricted. Simplifying, we consider…

We study the abelian period sets of Sturmian words, which are codings of irrational rotations on a one-dimensional torus. The main result states that the minimum abelian period of a factor of a Sturmian word of angle $\alpha$ with continued…

We study the approximation of high-dimensional rank one tensors using point evaluations and consider deterministic as well as randomized algorithms. We prove that for certain parameters (smoothness and norm of the $r$th derivative) this…

Let X be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold and let $\phi:X\to S^1$ be a circle-valued Morse function. Under some mild assumptions on $\phi$, we prove a formula relating: (a) the number of closed orbits of the gradient flow of $\phi$ of…

As was known to H. Poincare, an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism without periodic points is either minimal or has no dense orbits, and every orbit accumulates on the unique minimal set. In the first case the minimal set is the…

For a finite-dimensional gentle algebra, it is already known that the functorially finite torsion classes of its category of finite-dimensional modules can be classified using a combinatorial interpretation, called maximal non-crossing sets…

We consider the covering map $\pi:\mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{T}$ of a compact complex torus. Given an algebraic variety $X\subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ we describe the topological closure of $\pi(X)$ in $\mathbb T$. We obtain a similar description…

It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

An exact solution of the vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant is exhibited which can perhaps be used to describe the interior of compact rotating objects. The physical part of this solution has the topology of a torus,…

The number of singularities, counted with multiplicity, of a generic codimension one holomorphic distribution on a compact toric orbifold is determined. As a consequence, we give the classification of regular distributions on rational…

A twist is a datum playing a role of a local system for topological $K$-theory. In equivariant setting, twists are classified into four types according to how they are realized geometrically. This paper lists the possible types of twists…

Let the compact torus $T^{n-1}$ act on a smooth compact manifold $X^{2n}$ effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space $X^{2n}/T^{n-1}$ if the action is cohomologically…
