We introduce the notion of order projections using the order unit property of a positive element in an order unit space and characterize them in terms of (geometric) orthogonality. We describe order projections of the order unit space…
Certain topics on polygons are extended from Euclidean to hyperbolic geometry. This first part deals with uniqueness and existence of cocyclic polygons with prescribed sidelengths. The non-Euclidean versions are more difficult due to the…
Given a pair of points in the hyperbolic half plane or the unit disk, we provide a simple construction of the midpoint of the hyperbolic geodesic segment joining the points.
Using concepts and techniques of bilinear algebra, we construct hyperbolic planes over a euclidean ordered field that satisfy all the Hilbert axioms of incidence, order and congruence for a basic plane geometry, but for which the hyperbolic…
An inversion transformation applied to an inertial observer is used to generate a nonstatic conformally flat geometry in spherical coordinates. A static observer in the new geometry is uniformly accelerating with respect to the inertial one…
Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…
We present a method to project a hypercube of arbitrary dimension on the plane, in such a way as to preserve, as well as possible, the distribution of distances between vertices. The method relies on a Montecarlo optimization procedure that…
We derive actions for projective N=2 superspace ("hyperspace") from those for harmonic hyperspace, including that for nonabelian Yang-Mills (a new result). The method uses Wick rotation of the sphere from complex conjugate coordinates to…
Gradient descent generalises naturally to Riemannian manifolds, and to hyperbolic $n$-space, in particular. Namely, having calculated the gradient at the point on the manifold representing the model parameters, the updated point is obtained…
Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…
We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…
Phase plotting is a useful way of visualising functions on complex space. We reinvent the method in the context of hyperbolic geometry, and we use it to plot functions on various representative surfaces for hyperbolic space, illustrating…
We give an alternative definition of relative hyperbolicity based on properties of closest-point projections on peripheral subgroups. We also derive a distance formula for relatively hyperbolic groups, similar to the one for mapping class…
We study geometric structures arising from Hermitian forms on linear spaces over real algebras beyond the division ones. Our focus is on the dual numbers, the split-complex numbers, and the split-quaternions. The corresponding geometric…
We propose and analyze a new hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for second-order elliptic problems. Our method is obtained by inserting the $L^2$-orthogonal projection onto the approximate space for a numerical trace into all…
Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…
Using the method of C. V\"or\"os, we establish results in hyperbolic plane geometry, related to triangles and circles. We present a model independent construction for Malfatti's problem and several trigonometric formulas for triangles.
We construct the hyperbolic plane with its geodesic flow as the scale plus symmetry reduction of a three-body problem in the Euclidean plane. The potential is $-I/\Delta^2$ where $I$ is the triangle's moment of inertia and $\Delta$ its…
In this note, we provide explicit expressions for the projections onto the graph of a quadratic polynomial. The projections are obtained by examining the critical points of the associated quartic polynomial, that is, the roots of the cubic…
We study the orthogonal projections of symplectic balls in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ on complex subspaces. In particular we show that these projections are themselves symplectic balls under a certain complexity assumption. Our main result is a…
