A stratified space is a topological space together with a decomposition into strata corresponding to different types of singularities. Examples of such spaces appear everywhere in topology and geometry. The study of stratified spaces…
An alternative foundation for 2-categories is explored by studying graph-theoretically a partial operation on 2-cells named juncture, which can replace vertical and horizontal composition. Juncture is a generalized vertical composition of…
We study complex analytic (possibly singular) projective connections on the plane. We characterize some of them in terms of their families of integral curves. We also give a beginning of classification of second order odes polynomial in the…
We survey - by means of 20 examples - the concept of varifold, as generalised submanifold, with emphasis on regularity of integral varifolds with mean curvature, while keeping prerequisites to a minimum. Integral varifolds are the natural…
We give a combinatorial description of closed curves on oriented surfaces in terms of certain permutations, called charts. We describe automorphisms of curves in terms of charts and compute the total number of curves counted with…
A reflection mapping is a singular holomorphic mapping obtained by restricting the quotient mapping of a complex reflection group. We study the analytic structure of double point spaces of reflection mappings. In the case where the image is…
This work seeks to tackle the inherent complexity of dataspaces by introducing a novel data structure that can represent datasets across multiple levels of abstraction, ranging from local to global. We propose the concept of a multilevel…
The familiar trace of a square matrix generalizes to a trace of an endomorphism of a dualizable object in a symmetric monoidal category. To extend these ideas to other settings, such as modules over non-commutative rings, the trace can be…
The reduction of biharmonic maps equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of any compact Riemannian manifolds into a compact Lie group with bi-invariant Riemannian metric is obtained. By this formula, all the…
In this paper, we study a family of curves on $S^2$ that defines a two-dimensional smooth projective plane. We use curve shortening flow to prove that any two-dimensional smooth projective plane can be smoothly deformed through a family of…
Twisted diagrams are "diagrams" with components in different categories. Structure maps are defined using auxiliary data which consists of functors relating the various categories to each other. Prime examples of the construction are…
Continuous spline functions are defined as piecewise polynomials on the faces of a polyhedral complex that agree on the intersections of two faces. Splines are used in approximation theory and numerical analysis, with applications in data…
We prove that the homeomorphism problem for 2-manifolds can be decided in logspace. The proof relies on Reingold's logspace solution to the undirected $s,t$-connectivity problem in graphs.
A 2-web in the plane is given by two everywhere transverse 1-foliations. In this paper we introduce the study of singular 2-webs, given by any two foliations, which may be tangent in some points. We show that such two foliations are tangent…
A simple topological graph is a topological graph in which any two edges have at most one common point, which is either their common endpoint or a proper crossing. More generally, in a k-simple topological graph, every pair of edges has at…
Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in a generalization of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to studies of topological properties of smooth manifolds. Round fold maps were introduced as stable fold…
A Graph is called 2-self-centered if its diameter and radius both equal to 2. In this paper, we begin characterizing these graphs by characterizing edge-maximal 2-self-centered graphs via their complements. Then we split characterizing…
We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite point set $S$ in the plane in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is $S$ and which can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that every sufficiently…
We provide a clarification of the classification of two-dimensional algebras over an arbitrary base field. Using this clarification, we determine the number of non-isomorphic two-dimensional algebras over a finite field.
We introduce and study a class of Thurston maps from the 2-sphere to itself which we call nearly Euclidean Thurston (NET) maps. These are simple generalizations of Euclidean Thurston maps.
