We introduce orbifolds from the classical point of view, using charts, and present orbifold versions of elementary objects from Algebraic Topology, such as the fundamental group, coverings and Euler characteristic; Differential…

This is a translation from Latin of E348 'Methodus facilis motus corporum coelestium utcunque perturbatos ad rationem calculi astronomici revocandi', in which Euler develops a method to alleviate the astronomical computations in a typical…

Some results of B. Pasynkov and H. Torunczyk on finite-dimensional maps are improved. A generalization of a Dranishnikov-Uspenskij theorem about extensional dimension is also obtained.

The sphericity of the form of the Earth was questioned around the year 1687, primarily, by Isaac Newton who deduced from his theory of universal gravitation that the Earth has the form of a spheroid flattened at the poles and elongated at…

We study conformal mappings in the Grushin plane and provide a number of their characterizations in terms of the Sobolev mappings and their geometry. Furthermore, we connect conformality on the Grushin plane with conformality on the complex…

In this paper we consider the idea of I - convergence of nets of partial function from a metric space (X; d) to a metric space (Y; ?) and derive several basic characterization. This idea extends the concept of convergence of nets of partial…

For some class of mappings, which are generalization of space quasiisometries, an upper estimate for a measure of image of a ball is obtained. As consequence, it is obtained one analog of Schwartz lemma for mappings mentioned above. Results…

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.

We prove that properly rescaled large planar Eulerian triangulations converge to the Brownian map. This result requires more than a standard application of the methods that have been used to obtain the convergence of other families of…

A brief history of the investigation of the Weil-Petersson curvature and a summary of Teichm\"{u}ller theory are provided. A report is presented on the program to describe an intrinsic geometry with the Weil-Petersson metric and…

In Euclidean spaces, the geometric notions of nearest-points map, farthest-points map, Chebyshev set, Klee set, and Chebyshev center are well known and well understood. Since early works going back to the 1930s, tremendous theoretical…

In this (mostly) survey article, we give a synopsis of a number of results relating to Brill--Noether theory on curves and metric graphs, together with some speculations about the behavior of one-dimensional linear series on a class of…

This paper points out the usefulness of the concept of derivation along a map in many problems in Geometry and Physics. In particular it will be shown that this approach allows us to translate the usual concepts arising in Geometrical…

Euclidean distance geometry is the study of Euclidean geometry based on the concept of distance. This is useful in several applications where the input data consists of an incomplete set of distances, and the output is a set of points in…

This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…

The book is designed for a semester-long course in Foundations of Geometry and meant to be rigorous, conservative, elementary and minimalist. List of topics: Euclidean geometry: The Axioms / Half-planes / Congruent triangles / Perpendicular…

We show that expansive maps from a dense subset of a compact metric space into the metric space itself are isometries

Classical (Euclidean) Laguerre geometry studies oriented hyperplanes, oriented hyperspheres, and their oriented contact in Euclidean space. We describe how this can be generalized to arbitrary Cayley-Klein spaces, in particular hyperbolic…

By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…

In this work, we review the concept of center of a geometric object as an equivariant map, unifying and generalizing different approaches followed by authors such as C. Kimberling or A. Edmonds. We provide examples to illustrate that this…
