This note introduces the class of basic $r$-ball polyhedra in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{d}$ for $d>1$ and $r>0$. We investigate their face structure and, for given integers $0\leq i\leq d-1$, $n\geq d+1\geq 3$…
For a given pair of numbers $(d,k)$, we establish the minimal number of vertices in pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with non-trivial homology in dimension $k$. Furthermore, we solve the problem under the additional constraint of…
We study the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of their major semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere, use the formula to derive convexity…
The Pythagorean Theorem has been proved in hundreds of ways, yet it inspires fresh insights through geometry and trigonometry. In this paper, we offer a new proof based on three circles that circumscribe the sides of a right triangle.…
The initial techniques developed in Euclid's Elements, well before the use of the parallel postulate, are reexamined in order to clarify even the most obscure details, particularly those related to equality, superposition and angle…
Choosing the appropriate geometry in which to express the equations of fundamental physics can have a determinant effect on the simplicity of those equations and on the way they are perceived. The point of departure in this paper is the…
Rectangulations are decompositions of a square into finitely many axis-aligned rectangles. We describe realizations of $(n-1)$-dimensional polytopes associated with two combinatorial families of rectangulations composed of $n$ rectangles.…
Motivated by applications in geomorphology, the aim of this paper is to extend Morse-Smale theory from smooth functions to the radial distance function (measured from an internal point), defining a convex polyhedron in 3-dimensional…
We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…
We introduce and discuss the concept of \emph{$n$-distance}, a generalization to $n$ elements of the classical notion of distance obtained by replacing the triangle inequality with the so-called simplex inequality $$ d(x_1, \ldots,…
Closed form solutions for the computation of the solid angle from polygonal cross-sections are well known, however similar formulae for computation of projected solid angle are not generally available. Formulae for computing the projected…
I study a sequence of singularities in dimension 4 and above, each given by a cone of rank 1 tensors of a certain signature, which have crepant resolutions whose exceptional loci are isomorphic to cartesian powers of the projective line. In…
In this article using elementary school level Geometry we observe an alternative proof of Pythagorean Theorem from Heron's Formula.
Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…
We derive analytical expressions for the solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source with cosine angular distribution in the case where the source and the cylinder axes are mutually orthogonal.
The diffeomorphism symmetry of general relativity leads in the canonical formulation to constraints, which encode the dynamics of the theory. These constraints satisfy a complicated algebra, known as Dirac's hypersurface deformation…
We prove the numerical Hodge standard conjecture for the square of a simple abelian variety of prime dimension, and also in some related cases.
There are many problems and configurations in Euclidean geometry that were never extended to the framework of (normed or) finite dimensional real Banach spaces, although their original versions are inspiring for this type of generalization,…
This note deals with the relationship between the abscissas of simple, uniform and absolute convergence for the Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}$, when the coefficients $a_n$ are either multiplicative or completely…
We prove the following comparison theorem for metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature, also known as the dihedral rigidity conjecture by Gromov: for $n\le 7$, if an $n$-dimensional prism has nonnegative scalar curvature and weakly mean…
