We describe the construction of a new family of developable rollers based on the Platonic solids. In this way kinetic sculptures may be realised, with the Platonic solids quite literally in their heart. We also describe the strong way in…
In this paper we relate some classical normal forms for complex elliptic curves in terms of 4-point sets in the Riemann sphere. Our main result is an alternative proof that every elliptic curve is isomorphic as a Riemann surface to one in…
We determine, for all genus $g\geq2$ the Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $4g$ automorphisms. For $g\neq$ $3,6,12,15$ or $30$, this surfaces form a real Riemann surface $\mathcal{F}_{g}$ in the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g}$: the Riemann…
Which polygons admit two (or more) distinct lattice tilings of the plane? We call such polygons double tiles. It is well-known that a lattice tiling is always combinatorially isomorphic either to a grid of squares or to a grid of regular…
The ruled surface is a typical modeling surface in computer aided geometric design. It is usually given in the standard parametric form. However, it can also be in the forms than the standard one. For these forms, it is necessary to…
During the years 1940-1970, Alexandrov and the "Leningrad School" have investigated the geometry of singular surfaces in depth. The theory developed by this school is about topological surfaces with an intrinsic metric for which we can…
A classical approach for surface classification is to find a compact algebraic representation for each surface that would be similar for objects within the same class and preserve dissimilarities between classes. We introduce Self…
We study a two-parameter family of K3 surfaces of (generic) Picard rank $18$ which is mirror to the $18$-dimensional family of elliptically fibered K3 surfaces with a section. Members of this family are given as compactifications of…
Regular polygonal complexes in euclidean 3-space are discrete polyhedra-like structures with finite or infinite polygons as faces and with finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that their symmetry groups are transitive on the flags. The…
We classify the orientably regular maps which are elementary abelian regular branched coverings of Platonic maps M, in the case where the covering group and the rotation group G of M have coprime orders. The method involves studying the…
Skeletal polyhedra are discrete structures made up of finite, flat or skew, or infinite, helical or zigzag, polygons as faces, with two faces on each edge and a circular vertex-figure at each vertex. When a variant of Wythoff's construction…
Klein foams are analogues of Riemann surfaces for surfaces with one-dimensional singularities. They first appeared in mathematical physics (string theory etc.). By definition a Klein foam is constructed from Klein surfaces by gluing…
Results of number of geometric operations (often used in technical practise, as e.g. the operation of blending) are in many cases surfaces described implicitly. Then it is a challenging task to recognize the type of the obtained surface,…
For Legendre curves, we consider surfaces of revolution of frontals. The surface of revolution of a frontal can be considered as a framed base surface. We give the curvatures and basic invariants for surfaces of revolution by using the…
Equifacetal simplices, all of whose codimension one faces are congruent to one another, are studied. It is shown that the isometry group of such a simplex acts transitively on its set of vertices, and, as an application, equifacetal…
For a generic class of rational functions, we give an explicit description of the flat structure on the Riemann sphere induced by a meromorphic 1-form R(z)dz, where R is a rational function. The rational functions in the generic class we…
The Gaussian formula and spherical aberrations of the static and relativistic curved mirrors are analyzed using the optical path length (OPL) and Fermat's principle. The geometrical figures generated by the rotation of conic sections about…
In this paper, we address the following question: What does a typical compact Riemann surface of large genus look like geometrically? We do so by constructing compact Riemann surfaces from oriented 3-regular graphs. The set for such Riemann…
Tyurin degenerations of K3 surfaces are degenerations whose central fibre consists of a pair of rational surfaces glued along a smooth elliptic curve. We study the lattice theory of such Tyurin degenerations, establishing a notion of…
Surfaces and curves play an important role in geometric design. In recent years, problem of finding a surface passing through a given curve have attracted much interest. In the present paper, we propose a new method to construct a surface…
