This article is devoted to the investigation of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Cohomologies of wrap groups…

A Bl-packing is a (branched) circle packing that ``properly covers'' the unit disc. We establish some fundamental properties of such packings. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for their existence, prove their uniqueness, and show…

We revisit the scaling properties of growing spheres randomly seeded in d=2,3 and 4 dimensions using a mean-field approach. We model the insertion probability without assuming a priori a functional form for the radius distribution. The…

We evaluate integrals of certain polynomials over spheres and balls in real or complex spaces. We also promote the use of the Pochhammer symbol which gives the values of our integrals in compact forms.

We connect the algebraic geometry and representation theory associated to Freudenthal's magic square. We give unified geometric descriptions of several classes of orbit closures, describing their hyperplane sections and desingularizations,…

Employing ideas of noncommutative geometry, certain dimensional invariant for quantum homogeneous spaces has been proposed and here we take up its computation for quaternion spheres.

In this paper, we prove some relations between Fibonacci elements in an arbitrary algebra. Moreover, we define imaginary Fibonacci quaternions and imaginary Fibonacci octonions and we prove that always three arbitrary imaginary Fibonacci…

A matrix algebra is constructed which consists of the necessary degrees of freedom for a finite approximation to the algebra of functions on the family of orthogonal Grassmannians of real dimension 2N, known as complex quadrics. These…

This paper describes the passage of light through a system of waveplates mathematically in terms of quaternions, an extension of the complex numbers, instead of the more usual Jones vectors and Jones matrices. Both the light beam and the…

This is part two of a series of four methodological papers on (bi)quaternions and their use in theoretical and mathematical physics: 1- Alphabetical bibliography, 2- Analytical bibliography, 3- Notations and terminology, and 4- Formulas and…

In a previous paper we introduced examples of Hamiltonian mappings with phase space structures resembling circle packings. It was shown that a vast number of periodic orbits can be found using special properties. We now use this information…

The semiclassical approximation for electron wave-packets in crystals leads to equations which can be derived from a Lagrangian or, under suitable regularity conditions, in a Hamiltonian framework. In the plane, these issues are studied %in…

Hierarchical sets such as the Pythagorean triplets ($\cal{PT}$) and the integral Apollonian gaskets ($\cal{IAG}$) are iconic mathematical sets made up of integers that resonate with a wide spectrum of inquisitive minds. Here we show that…

Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This second one applies the powerful tool of trigonometric Diophantine equations to classify the case of…

We discuss the integrability of orthogonal almost complex structures on Riemannian products of even-dimensional round spheres and give a partial answer to the question raised by E. Calabi concerning the existence of complex structures on a…

Generally the study of algebraic deals with the concepts like groups, semigroups, groupoids, loops, rings, near-rings, semirings and vector spaces. The study of bialgebraic structures deals with the study of bistructures like bigroups,…

Some idea, which leads to a non-trivial solution of the quantum four-simplex equation, is exposed in this paper. We call this idea "pentagonal algebra". Few examples of the realisation of this idea are given here, and thus few examples of…

As is well-known, the real quaternion division algebra $ {\cal H}$ is algebraically isomorphic to a 4-by-4 real matrix algebra. But the real division octonion algebra ${\cal O}$ can not be algebraically isomorphic to any matrix algebras…

Let B be an undefined quaternion algebra over Q. Following the explicit chacterization of some Eichler orders in B given by Hashimoto, we define explicit embeddings of these orders in some local rings of matrices; we describe the two…

We prove that all smooth sphere bundles that admit fiberwise 1/4-pinched metrics are induced bundles of vector bundles, so their structure groups reduce from the diffeomorphism group of the sphere to the orthogonal group. This result…
