The diagonals of a quadrilateral form four associated triangles, called half triangles. Each half triangle is bounded by two sides of the quadrilateral and one diagonal. If we locate a triangle center (such as the incenter, centroid,…
There are fifteen edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons with the edge combination $a^3b^2$: five one-parameter families of pentagonal subdivision tilings, and ten flip modifications of three special cases of two…
We investigate complex structures on twisted Hilbert spaces, with special attention paid to the Kalton-Peck $Z_2$ space and to the hyperplane problem. We consider (nontrivial) twisted Hilbert spaces generated by centralizers obtained from…
Several authors have remarked the convenience of understanding the different notions of center appearing in Geometry (centroid of a set of points, incenter of a triangle, center of a conic and many others) as functions. The most general way…
In this paper we discuss the problem of interpolation on straight lines by linear combinations of ridge functions with fixed directions. By using some geometry and/or systems of linear equations, we constructively prove that it is…
Magic squares have been an enthralling topic in mathematics for centuries. They are formed by filling in all the cells of a square matrix with the numbers starting from one so that the sum of all rows, columns, and diagonals is the same.…
We show that every nilpotent group of class at most two may be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. The embedding is shown to depend only on the base group. Some refinements are obtained by considering…
Inspired by the ideas and techniques used in the study of cluster algebras we construct a new class of algebras, called bistellar cluster algebras, from closed oriented triangulated even-dimensional manifolds by performing…
It has long been known to mathematicians and physicists that while a full rotation in three-dimensional Euclidean space causes tangling, two rotations can be untangled. Formally, an untangling is a based nullhomotopy of the double-twist…
A bisection line divides a convex planar curve into two parts with equal areas. It is natural to study the envelope of these lines, which in general present singularities. The polygonal case is particularly inte\-resting, since there are…
The theory of 2-Segal sets has connections to various important constructions such as the Waldhausen $S_\bullet$-construction in algebraic $K$-theory, Hall algebras, and (co)operads. In this paper, we construct 2-Segal sets from rooted…
In this paper, we study arrangements of orthogonal circles, that is, arrangements of circles where every pair of circles must either be disjoint or intersect at a right angle. Using geometric arguments, we show that such arrangements have…
Consider a bundle of circles passing through 0 in 4-dimensional space. It is said to be rectifiable if there is a germ of diffeomorphism at 0 that takes all circles from our bundle to straight lines. We will give a classification of all…
We study the problem of rotating a simple polygon to contain the maximum number of elements from a given point set in the plane. We consider variations of this problem where the rotation center is a given point or lies on a line segment, a…
We investigate the regularity of invariant curves of rotation number $1/2$ for a special class of symplectic twist maps of the annulus, billiard maps. We construct strictly convex smooth tables close to the circle having singular (i.e. not…
Generating Hilbert curves in Z^2 using L-systems appears to be efficient and easy
We show that there exists an infinite family of cubic $2$-connected non-hamiltonian graphs with girth $5$ containing a unique longest cycle.
Given two quivers, each with a reddening sequence, we show how to construct a plethora of mutation cycles. We give several examples, including a generalization of the construction of long mutation cycles in earlier work by the second…
Do there exist circular and spherical copulas in $R^d$? That is, do there exist circularly symmetric distributions on the unit disk in $R^2$ and spherically symmetric distributions on the unit ball in $R^d$, $d\ge3$, whose one-dimensional…
These last years an increasing interest appeared for studying the planar discontinuous piecewise differential systems motivated by the rich applications in modelling real phenomena. One of the difficulties for understanding the dynamics of…
