For a moving bicycle, the power can be modelled as a response to the propulsion of the centre of mass of the bicycle-cyclist system. On a velodrome, an accurate modelling of power requires a distinction between the trajectory of the wheels…
Cross-linked filament bundles, such as in cilia and flagella, are ubiquitous in biology. They are considered in textbooks as simple filaments with larger stiffness. Recent observations of flagellar counterbend, however, show that induction…
A bicomplex is a simple mathematical structure, in particular associated with completely integrable models. The conditions defining a bicomplex are a special form of a parameter-dependent zero curvature condition. We generalize the concept…
A bicycle path is a pair of trajectories in ${\mathbb R}^n$, the `front' and `back' tracks, traced out by the endpoints of a moving line segment of fixed length (the `bicycle frame') and tangent to the back track. Bicycle geodesics are…
Let $M$ be a closed orientable surface of negative curvature. A connection is said to be transparent if its parallel transport along closed geodesics is the identity. We describe all transparent SU(2)-connections and we show that they can…
Phase-space procedure based on coherent state representation is proposed for investigation of reflection and transmission of light beams at a curved dielectric boundary. Numerical simulations of reflection and transmission of light at…
The pinwheel tiling is the paradigm for a substitution tiling with circular symmetry, in the sense that the corresponding autocorrelation is circularly symmetric. As a consequence, its diffraction measure is also circularly symmetric, so…
In this article, we revisit the classical McKay correspondence via homological mirror symmetry. Specifically, we demonstrate how this correspondence can be articulated as a derived equivalence between the category of vanishing cycles…
Slender fibers are ubiquitous in biology, physics, and engineering, with prominent examples including bacterial flagella and cytoskeletal fibers. In this setting, slender body theories (SBTs), which give the resistance on the fiber…
Backlund transformations are used to search for solutions, particularly soliton solutions, of non-linear differential equations. In this paper we present an invariant geometrical theory of Backlund transformations for second order evolution…
The motion of a vertically positioned bicycle is considered when a horizontal control force, which maybe both internal and external in relation to the bicycle, is applied to its pedal. Tangential forces of dryfriction obeying the Euler {…

This is the second article in a two-part series presenting a new proof comparing the non-invariant trace formula for a general linear group with that of one of its inner forms. In this article, we focus on the spectral side of the trace…
We consider the dynamics of light rays in triangle tilings where triangles are transparent and adjacent triangles have equal but opposite indices of refraction. We find that the behavior of a trajectory on a triangle tiling is described by…
The problem of biped locomotion at steady speeds is discussed through a Lagrangian formulation developed for velocity-dependent, body driving forces. Human walking on a level surface is analyzed in terms of the data on the resultant…
Heterodimensional cycles are heteroclinic cycles that connect periodic orbits whose unstable manifolds have different dimensions. This is a source of nonhyperbolic dynamics and unstable dimension variability. For smooth invertible maps…
We develop a formalism that describes the bending and twisting of axoneme-like filament bundles. We obtain general formulas to determine the relative sliding between any arbitrary filaments in a bundle subjected to unconstrained…
The main aim of this paper is to study existence and stability properties of rotationally symmetric proper biharmonic maps between two $m$-dimensional models (in the sense of Greene and Wu). We obtain a complete classification of…
