Graphs and hypergraphs combine expressive modeling power with algorithmic efficiency for a wide range of applications. Hedgegraphs generalize hypergraphs further by grouping hyperedges under a color/hedge. This allows hedgegraphs to model…
Given a pair of translation surfaces it is very difficult to determine whether they are supported on the same algebraic curve. In fact, there are very few examples of such pairs. In this note we present infinitely many examples of finite…
We consider geometric triangulations of surfaces, i.e., triangulations whose edges can be realized by disjoint locally geodesic segments. We prove that the flip graph of geometric triangulations with fixed vertices of a flat torus or a…
A linear pentapod is a parallel manipulator with five collinear anchor points on the motion platform (end-effector), which are connected via extendible legs to the base. This manipulator has five controllable degrees-of-freedom and the…
We give new upper bounds on the stable commutator lengths of Dehn twists along separating curves in the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface. The estimates of these upper bounds are $O(1/g)$, where $g$ is the genus of the…
The purpose of this article is to present the theory of higher order connections on vector bundles from a viewpoint inspired by projective differential geometry.
A $\mathit{\text{moving frame}}$ at a rational curve is a basis of vectors moving along the curve. When the rational curve is given parametrically by a row vector $\mathbf{a}$ of univariate polynomials, a moving frame with important…
We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…
We exhibit a precise connection between N\'eron--Tate heights on smooth curves and biextension heights of limit mixed Hodge structures associated to smoothing deformations of singular quotient curves. Our approach suggests a new way to…
A scramble on a connected multigraph is a collection of connected subgraphs that generalizes the notion of a bramble. The maximum order of a scramble, called the scramble number of a graph, was recently developed as a tool for lower…
Given a family of products of elliptic curves over a rational curve defined over a number field $K$, and assuming that there exists no isogeny between the pair of elliptic curves in the generic fiber, we establish an upper bound for the…
We enumerate plane complex algebraic curves of a given degree with one singularity of any given topological type. Our approach is to compute the homology classes of the corresponding equisingular strata in the parameter spaces of plane…
A systematic method is presented for the construction and classification of algebras of gauge transformations for arbitrary high rank tensor gauge fields. For every tensor gauge field of a given rank, the gauge transformation will be…
We consider the coupling of axions to gauge bosons in higher-dimensional Grand Unified Theories (GUT) inspired by string theory constructions with D-branes on orbifold singularities, the so-called orbifold GUTs. Due to their topological…
Screw theory provides geometrical insight into the mechanics of rigid bodies. Screw axis is defined as the line coinciding with the joint axis. Line transformations in the form of a screw operator are used to determine the joint axes of a…
The singularity structure of solutions of a class of Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations in two dependent variables is studied. It is shown that for any solution, all movable singularities, obtained by analytic…
The paper discusses the classification of surfaces of degree 10 and sectional genus 9 and 10. The surfaces of degree at most 9 are described through classical work dating from the last century up to recent years, while surfaces of degree 10…
A point on a plane curve is said to be Galois (for the curve) if the projection from the point as a map from the curve to a line induces a Galois extension of function fields. It is known that the number of Galois points is finite except…
This paper states a definition of homotopic rotation set for higher genus surface homeomorphisms, as well as a collection of results that justify this definition. We first prove elementary results: we prove that this rotation set is…
We investigate the implications of different forms of multi-group connectivity. Four multi-group connectivity modalities are considered: co-memberships, edge bundles, bridges, and liaison hierarchies. We propose generative models to…
