The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this…
Generalizing the concept of the Macaulay inverse system, we introduce a way to describe localizations of an ideal in a polynomial ring. This leads to an approach to the differential primary decomposition as a description of the affine…
In an Euclidean $d$-space, the container problem asks to pack $n$ equally sized spheres into a minimal dilate of a fixed container. If the container is a smooth convex body and $d\geq 2$ we show that solutions to the container problem can…
It is well-known since the time of the Greeks that two disjoint circles in the plane have four common tangent lines. Cappell et al. proved a generalization of this fact for properly separated strictly convex bodies in higher dimensions. We…
We examine packing of $n$ congruent spheres in a cube when $n$ is close but less than the number of spheres in a regular cubic close-packed (ccp) arrangement of $\lceil p^{3}/2\rceil$ spheres. For this family of packings, the previous…
The three Apollonius circles of a triangle, each passing through a triangle vertex, the corresponding vertex of the cevian triangle of the incenter and the corresponding vertex of the circumcevian triangle of the symmedian point, are…
The densest local packings of N three-dimensional identical nonoverlapping spheres within a radius Rmin(N) of a fixed central sphere of the same size are obtained for selected values of N up to N = 1054. In the predecessor to this paper…
We present a statistical mechanical description of randomly packed spherical particles, where the average coordination number is treated as a macroscopic thermodynamic variable. The overall packing entropy is shown to have two…
We investigate in this paper the relation between Apollonian $d$-ball packings and stacked $(d+1)$-polytopes for dimension $d\ge 3$. For $d=3$, the relation is fully described: we prove that the $1$-skeleton of a stacked $4$-polytope is the…
In this paper we investigate a local to global principle for Galois cohomology of number fields with coefficients in the Tate module of an abelian variety. In \cite{bk13} G. Banaszak and the author obtained the sufficient condition for the…
A Euclidean (or hyperbolic) circle packing on a closed triangulated surface with prescribed inversive distance is locally determined by its cone angles. We prove this by applying a variational principle.
We prove a generalisation of the correspondence, due to Resende and Lawson--Lenz, between \'etale groupoids---which are topological groupoids whose source map is a local homeomorphisms---and complete pseudogroups---which are inverse monoids…
In this article, using the computer, are enumerated all locally-rigid packings by $N$ congruent circles (spherical caps) on the unit sphere ${\Bbb S}^2 $ with $N < 12.$ This is equivalent to the enumeration of irreducible spherical contact…
There is an algorithm that takes as input a global field k and produces a curve over k violating the local-global principle. Also, given a global field k and a nonnegative integer n, one can effectively construct a curve X over k such that…
Using a Newtonian approximation, we developed a quantitative criterion for the collapse of a spherical distribution of matter under an isolated texture field. In particular, we found that the evolution of an overdense region is strongly…
The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local…
The unitary extension principle (UEP) by Ron and Shen yields conditions for the construction of a multi-generated tight wavelet frame for $L^2(\mr^s)$ based on a given refinable function. In this paper we show that the UEP can be…
We consider sections of the \'etale homotopy exact sequence of a hyperbolic curve over a number field. We prove that two sections whose restrictions to decomposition groups are conjugate on a set of valuations of density one are globally…
In \cite{ThasHVM}, a characterization of the finite quadric Veronesean $\mathcal{V}_{n}^{2^{n}}$ by means of properties of the set of its tangent spaces is proved. These tangent spaces form a {\em regular generalised dual arc}. We prove an…
It is argued that the formal rules of correspondence between local observation procedures and observables do not exhaust the entire physical content of generally covariant quantum field theory. This result is obtained by expressing the…
