In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in two dimensional complex projective space, of degree d, passing through d(d+3)/2-(k+1) generic points and having one node and one codimension k singularity, where k is…

The classification of shapes is of great interest in diverse areas ranging from medical imaging to computer vision and beyond. While many statistical frameworks have been developed for the classification problem, most are strongly tied to…

In many singular metric spaces, the regularity of a shortest-length curve is unknown. Algebraic varieties, or more generally sets defined by finitely many polynomial or real analytic equalities or inequalities, all locally partition into…

It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

In Euclidean geometry, all metric notions (arc length for curves, the first fundamental form for surfaces, etc.) are derived from the Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, and this inner product is preserved by the full symmetry group…

A unitary (Euclidean) representation of a quiver is given by assigning to each vertex a unitary (Euclidean) vector space and to each arrow a linear mapping of the corresponding vector spaces. We recall an algorithm for reducing the matrices…

We prove that curves of constant curvature satisfy the parametric $C^1$-dense relative $h$-principle in the space of immersed curves with nonvanishing curvature in Euclidean space $R^{n\geq 3}$. It follows that two knots of constant…

This paper proposes direct and inverse results for the Dirichlet and Dirichlet to Neumann problems for complex curves with nodal type singularities. As an application, we give a method to reconstruct the conformal structure of a compact…

This paper deals with relative normalizations of skew ruled surfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. In section 2 we investigate some new formulae concerning the Pick invariant, the relative curvature, the relative mean curvature…

Following Kraitchik and Lehmer, we say that a positive integer $n\equiv1\pmod 8$ is an $x$-pseudosquare if it is a quadratic residue for each odd prime $p\le x$, yet is not a square. We extend this defintion to algebraic curves and say that…

The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…

A uniformly discrete Euclidean graph is a graph embedded in a Euclidean space so that there is a minimum distance between distinct vertices. If such a graph embedded in an $n$-dimensional space is preserved under $n$ linearly independent…

We study hypersurfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{n+1}_s$, which write as a warped product of a $1$-dimensional base with an $(n-1)$-manifold of constant sectional curvature. We show that either they have constant sectional…

In this paper we investigate the metric properties of quadrics and cones of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. As applications of our formulas we give a more detailed description of the construction of Chasles and the wire model of…

The theory of classical types of curves in normed planes is not strongly developed. In particular, the knowledge on existing concepts of curvatures of planar curves is widespread and not systematized in the literature. Giving a…

In this work we show that an $n$-dimensional Borel set in Euclidean $N$-space with finite integral Menger curvature is $n$-rectifiable, meaning that it can be covered by countably many images of Lipschitz continuous functions up to a null…

The `linear orbit' of a plane curve of degree d is its orbit in the projective space of dimension d(d+3)/2 parametrizing such curves under the natural action of PGL(3). In this paper we compute the degree of the closure of the linear orbits…

This paper is concerned with rational curves on real classical groups. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) We determine the structure of quadratic rational curves on real classical groups. As a consequence, we completely classify…

The paper discusses an applicability criterion for a cutoff regularization in the coordinate representation in the Euclidean space with a dimension larger than two. It is shown that the set of functions satisfying the criterion is not…
