Single-view point cloud completion aims to recover the full geometry of an object based on only limited observation, which is extremely hard due to the data sparsity and occlusion. The core challenge is to generate plausible geometries to…

The non-linearly coupled Einstein-matter field equations predict the existence of shadows with well-defined boundaries around black holes. We prove that, in spherically symmetric hairy black-hole spacetimes whose matter fields satisfy the…

We consider the problem of choosing Euclidean points to maximize the sum of their weighted pairwise distances, when each point is constrained to a ball centered at the origin. We derive a dual minimization problem and show strong duality…

We describe the dynamical formation of the shadow of a collapsing star in a Hayward spacetime in terms of an observer far away from the center and a free falling observer. By solving the time-like and light-like radial geodesics we…

In the recent paper "On a formula for sets of constant width in 2D", Comm. Pure Appl. Anal. 18 (2019), 2117-2131, we gave a constructive formula for all 2d sets of constant width. Based on this result we derive here a formula for the…

Hyperbolic space has proven to be well-suited for capturing hierarchical relations in data, such as trees and directed acyclic graphs. Prior work introduced the concept of entailment cones, which uses partial orders defined by nested cones…

In non-minimally coupled effective gravity theories one can have non-topological solitonic solutions. A typical solution is a spherical region with $G_{\it eff}=0$ outside and having the canonical Newtonian value inside. Such a spherical…

Determining the minimum density of a covering of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by Euclidean unit balls as $n\to\infty$ is a major open problem, with the best known results being the lower bound of $\left(\mathrm{e}^{-3/2}+o(1)\right)n$ by Coxeter, Few…

We discuss the concept of the shadow boundary of a centrally symmetric convex ball $K$ (actually being the unit ball of a Minkowski normed space) with respect to a direction ${\bf x}$ of the Euclidean n-space $R^n$. We introduce the concept…

Given a spherical spacelike three-geometry, there exists a very simple algebraic condition which tells us whether, and in which, Schwarzschild solution this geometry can be smoothly embedded. One can use this result to show that any given…

The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…

Assume that $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded domain with $C^1-$smooth boundary. Our result is: {\bf Theorem 1.} {\em If $D$ has $P-$property, then $D$ is a ball.} Four equivalent formulations of the Pompeiu problem are discussed. A…
