We review and comment on some works of Euler and his followers on spherical geometry. We start by presenting some memoirs of Euler on spherical trigonometry. We comment on Euler's use of the methods of the calculus of variations in…
We study propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in a curved spacetime. We demonstrate how a modification of the standard geometric optics allows one to include the helicity dependent corrections into the equations of motion of…
The notion of a spectral geometry on a compact metric space X is introduced. This notion serves as a discrete approximation of X motivated by the notion of a spectral triple from non-commutative geometry. A set of axioms charaterising…
This article introduces a spherical latent space model for social network analysis, embedding actors on a hypersphere rather than in Euclidean space as in standard latent space models. The spherical geometry facilitates the representation…
It is shown here how prior estimates on the local shape of the universe can be used to reduce, to a small region, the full parameter space for the search of circles in the sky. This is the first step towards the development of efficient…
The purpose of this essay is to trace the historical development of geometry while focusing on how we acquired mathematical tools for describing the "shape of the universe." More specifically, our aim is to consider, without a claim to…
We survey the localization method for proving inequalities in high dimension, pioneered by Lov\'asz and Simonovits (1993), and its stochastic extension developed by Eldan (2012). The method has found applications in a surprising wide…
It is well known, that Luzin's conjecture has a positive solution for one dimensional trigonometric Fourier series and it is still open for the spherical partial sums $S_\lambda f(x)$, $f\in L_2(\mathbb{T}^N)$, of multiple Fourier series,…
We classify the symmetric association schemes with faithful spherical embedding in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Our result is based on previous research on primitive association schemes with $m_1 = 3$.
In this article some explicit estimates on the decay of the convolutive inverse of a sequence are proved. They are derived from the functional calculus for Sobolev algebras. Applications include localization in spline-type spaces and…
In this note we introduce the problem of illumination of convex bodies in spherical spaces and solve it for a large subfamily of convex bodies. We derive from it a combinatorial version of the classical illumination problem for convex…
The physical position is crucial in location-aware services or protocols based on geographic information, where localization is performed given a set of sensor measurements for acquiring the position of an object with respect to a certain…
We study metric spheres Z obtained by gluing two hemispheres of the Euclidean sphere along an orientation-preserving homeomorphism mapping the equator onto itself, where the distance on Z is the canonical distance that is locally isometric…
This article is devoted to the study of classical and new results concerning equidistant sets, both from the topological and metric point of view. We start with a review of the most interesting known facts about these sets in the euclidean…
We characterize all possible relative positions between a hyperboloid of one sheet and a sphere through the roots of a characteristic polynomial associated to these quadrics. The classification is also suitable for a hyperboloid and a…
We address the question of designing isotropic analysis functions on the sphere which are perfectly limited in the spectral domain and optimally localized in the spatial domain. This work is motivated by the need of localized analysis tools…
Laplacian-based methods are popular for the dimensionality reduction of data lying in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Several theoretical results for these algorithms depend on the fact that the Euclidean distance locally approximates the geodesic distance…
The goal of this paper is to study how the symmetry of the spherical domain influences solutions of elliptic equations on such domain. The method pursued is a variant of the moving plane method, discovered by Alexandrov (1962) and used for…
We describe the first-order variations of the angles of Euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic polygons under infinitesimal deformations such that the lengths of the edges do not change. Using this description, we introduce a vector-valued…
This paper studies a specific metric on plane curves that has the property of being isometric to classical manifold (sphere, complex projective, Stiefel, Grassmann) modulo change of parametrization, each of these classical manifolds being…
