We present two new constructions in the usual euclidean plane. We only deal with 'Grecian Geometry', with this phrase we mean elementary geometry in the two-dimensional space R 2 . We describe and prove two propositions about 'projections'.…

Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…

Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…

Menger's Edge Theorem asserts that there exist $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint paths between two vertices in an undirected graph if and only if a deletion of any $k-1$ or less edges does not disconnect these two vertices. Alternatively, there…

Suppose given functors A x A' -F-> B -G-> C between abelian categories, an object X in A and an object X' in A' such that certain conditions hold. We show that, E_1-terms exempt, the Grothendieck spectral sequence of the composition of…

We solve two classical conjectures by showing that if an action of a connected Lie group on a complete Riemannian manifold preserves the geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves), then the metric has constant positive sectional…

We initiate the study of orthogonal forms on a real C$^*$-algebra. Motivated by previous contributions, due to Ylinen, Jajte, Paszkiewicz and Goldstein, we prove that for every continuous orthogonal form $V$ on a commutative real…

The classical Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem implies that the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a set in Euclidean space with non-negligible d-unrectifiable part will strictly decrease under orthogonal projection onto almost every…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ be JBW$^*$-algebras whose sets of unitaries are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ and $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{B})$, respectively. We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ is closed for Jordan…

Let $f = x_1^{a_1} + x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} + 1 \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ and let $g = y_1^{b_1} + y_2^{b_2} + y_3^{b_3} + 1 \in \mathbb{C}[y_1,y_2,y_3]$ where $a_1,a_2,a_3,b_1,b_2,b_3 \geq 2$. We prove that the surfaces $V(f) \subset…

In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…

A real projective orbifold has a radial end if a neighborhood of the end is foliated by projective geodesics that develop into geodesics ending at a common point. It has a totally geodesic end if the end can be completed to have the totally…

By a {\bf generalized arc\/} we mean a continuum with exactly two non-separating points; an {\bf arc} is a metrizable generalized arc. It is well known that any two arcs are homeomorphic (to the real closed unit interval); we show that any…

Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a point-symmetric reflexive relation and let $v\in V$ such that $|\Gamma (v)|$ is finite (and hence $|\Gamma (x)|$ is finite for all $x$, by the transitive action of the group of automorphisms). Let $j\in \N$ be an…

Based on the projective matrix spaces studied by B. Schwarz and A. Zaks, we study the notion of projective space associated to a C*-algebra A with a fixed projection p. The resulting space P(p) admits a rich geometrical structure as a…

In this work we show that the composite fermion construction for the torus geometry is modular covariant. We show that this is the case both before and after projection, and that modular covariance properties are preserved under both exact…

We address pairs $(X, Y)$ of metric spaces with the following property: for every mapping $f: X \to Y$ the existence of points $x, y \in X$ with $d(f(x),f(y)) > d(x,y)$ implies the existence of $\widetilde{x}, \widetilde{y}\in X$ for which…

Let F be a codimension one singular holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold M. Assume that there exists a meromorphic vector field X on M generically transversal to F. Then, we prove that F is the meromorphic pull-back of an…

An $(s,t)$-matching in a bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is a subset of the edges $F$ such that each component of $G[F]$ is a tree with at most $t$ edges and each vertex in $U$ has $s$ neighbours in $G[H]$. We give sharp conditions for a…

We investigate point arrangements $v_i\in\mathbb R^d,i\in \{1,...,n \}$ with certain prescribed symmetries. The arrangement space of $v$ is the column span of the matrix in which the $v_i$ are the rows. We characterize properties of $v$ in…
