The conditions for a cuspidal edge, swallowtail and other fundamental singularities are given in the context of Lie sphere geometry. We then use these conditions to study the Lie sphere transformations of a surface.
This paper explores the Fano variety of lines in hypersurfaces, particularly focusing on those with mild singularities. Our first result explores the irreducibility of the variety $\Sigma$ of lines passing through a singular point $y$ on a…
Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichm\"uller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichm\"uller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether…
We show that a Kleinian surface group, or hyperbolic 3-manifold with a cusp-preserving homotopy-equivalence to a surface, has bounded geometry if and only if there is an upper bound on an associated collection of coefficients that depend…
This paper contains a purely topological theorem and a geometric application. The topological theorem states that if M is a simple closed orientable 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M) contains a genus g surface group and H_1(M;Z/2Z) has rank at…
Special Bohr - Sommerfeld geometry, first formulated for simply connected symplectic manifolds (or for simple connected algebraic varieties), gives rise to some natural problems for the simplest example in non simply connected case. Namely…
We refer to the classic definition of a singularity in Einstein's general relativity (based on geodesic incompletness) as well as to some other criteria to evaluate the nature of singularities in cosmology. We review what different…
Recent literature on Weil-Petersson random hyperbolic surfaces has met a consistent obstacle: the necessity to condition the model, prohibiting certain rare geometric patterns (which we call tangles), such as short closed geodesics or…
The gonality conjecture predicts that the gonality of a curve can be read off Koszul cohomology of line bundles of sufficiently large degree. We verify this conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. The even-genus case was previously…
It is classically known that complete flat surfaces in Euclidean 3-space are cylinders over space curves. This implies that the study of global behaviour of flat surfaces requires the study of singular points as well. If a flat surface $f$…
Various line fields naturally arise on surfaces in both physical and biological contexts, and generic singularities frequently appear in the form of 1-prong (thorn-like) and 3-prong (tripod-like) configurations, which can be modeled by…
In this paper, we prove a similar result to the fundamental theorem of regular surfaces in classical differential geometry, which extends the classical theorem to the entire class of singular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space known as frontals.…
We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to $\partial\mathbb{D}$. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a…
A question whether sufficiently regular manifold automorphisms may have wandering domains with controlled geometry is answered in the negative for quasiconformal or smooth homeomorphisms of $n$-tori, $n\ge2$, and hyperbolic surfaces.…
We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for the extendibility and boundedness of Gaussian curvature, Mean curvature and principal curvatures near all types of singularities on fronts. We also study the convergence to infinite…
Singularities play an important role in General Relativity and have been shown to be an inherent feature of most physically reasonable space-times. Despite this, there are many aspects of singularities that are not qualitatively or…
After having investigated the geodesic and translation triangles and their angle sums in $\SOL$ and $\SLR$ geometries we consider the analogous problem in $\NIL$ space that is one of the eight 3-dimensional Thurston geometries. We analyze…
We investigate the geometry of holomorphic curves and complex surfaces from the perspective of singularity theory. We show that, with a suitable choice of a complex bilinear symmetric form, the families of functions and mappings that…
In this short paper we show a sufficient condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem at infinity in Riemannian cones (as defined below).This condition is related to a celebrated result of Milnor that classifies parabolic…
Tilings of a surface of negative Euler characteristic by n-gons with n\ge 7 is a finite problem. One extreme of the finite problem is single tile tilings. We develop the algorithm for finding all the single tile tilings and present the…
