The purpose of this present paper is to investigate the geometric structure of regular overdetermined systems of second order with two independent and one dependent variables from the point of view of rank 2 prolongations. Utilizing this…
The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…
We introduce a construction for a Cartan geometry that captures the local behavior of a given geometric automorphism near a distinguished element. The result of this construction, which we call the sprawl generated by the automorphism, is…
Brane Box Models of intersecting NS and D5 branes are mapped to D3 branes at C^3/Gamma orbifold singularities and vise versa, in a setup which gives rise to N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The Brane Box Models are…
We present mechanisms for generating conical singularities both in three and four-dimensions in the systems with copies of scalar or chiral multiplets coupled to $N=2$ or $N=1$ supergravity. Our mechanisms are useful for supersymmetry…
A route to chaos is studied in 3-dimensional maps of logistic type. Mechanisms of period doubling for invariant closed curves (ICC) are found for specific 3-dimensional maps. These bifurcations cannot be observed for ICC in the…
We describe the automorphisms of a singular multicontact structure, that is a generalisation of the Martinet distribution. Such a structure is interpreted as a para-CR structure on a hypersurface M of a direct product space R^2 x R^2. We…
In this paper we present a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, that is tight if the length of the cycle is a multiple of five. This bound improves the natural lower bound obtained by using…
In this paper, we consider a compact five dimensional spacetime with the structure $\mathcal{M}^{1,3}\times S^{1}$. Generally speaking, motion on such a structure will break Lorentz invariance, allowing for causal bulk signals to propagate…
We study typical wall singularity of codimension one for locally compact geodesically complete metric spaces with an upper curvature bound. We provide a geometric structure theorem of codimension one singularity, and a geometric…
We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…
We derive some more results on the nature of the singularities arising in the collapse of inhomogeneous dust spheres. (i) It is shown that there are future-pointing radial and non-radial time-like geodesics emerging from the singularity if…
Let $G$ be a complete graph with $n+1$ vertices. In a recent paper of the authors, it is shown that the path trees of the graph play a special role in the structure of the truncated powers and partition functions that are associated with…
The aim of this note is to describe a geometric relation between simple plane curve singularities classified by simply laced Cartan matrices and cluster varieties of finite type also classified by the simply laced Cartan matrices. We…
This paper studies the geometry of Cartan-Hartogs domains from the symplectic point of view. Inspired by duality between compact and noncompact Hermitian symmetric spaces, we construct a dual counterpart of Cartan-Hartogs domains and give…
A distribution of rank $4$ on a $7$-dimensional manifold is called a $(4, 7)$-distribution if its local sections generate the whole tangent space by taking Lie brackets once. Singular curves of $(4, 7)$-distributions are studied in this…
The topologies permitted in joint ocular dominance (OD), orientation preference (OP), and direction preference (DP) maps in the primary visual cortex (V1) are considered, with the aim of finding a maximally symmetric periodic case that can…
We describe a general method to determine dualities between supersymmetric 5d gauge theories. The method is based on performing local S-dualities in the geometry associated to the gauge theory. We find that often a duality can be obtained…
Entwined space-time paths are bound pairs of trajectories which are traversed in opposite directions with respect to macroscopic time. In this paper we show that ensembles of entwined paths on a discrete space-time lattice are simply…
In this paper we develop some combinatorial models for continuous spaces. In this spirit we study the approximations of continuous spaces by graphs, molecular spaces and coordinate matrices. We define the dimension on a discrete space by…
