Let $f$ and $g$ be two circle endomorphisms of degree $d\geq 2$ such that each has bounded geometry, preserves the Lebesgue measure, and fixes $1$. Let $h$ fixing $1$ be the topological conjugacy from $f$ to $g$. That is, $h\circ f=g\circ…

A Coxeter system is called two-dimensional if its associated Davis complex is two-dimensional (equivalently, every spherical subgroup has rank less than or equal to 2). We prove that given a two-dimensional system (W,S) and any other system…

The Erd\H{o}s-Anning theorem states that every point set in the Euclidean plane with integer distances must be either collinear or finite. More strongly, for any (non-degenerate) triangle of diameter~$\delta$, at most $O(\delta^2)$ points…

We introduce a new class of fractal circle packings in the plane, generalizing the polyhedral packings defined by Kontorovich and Nakamura. The existence and uniqueness of these packings are guaranteed by infinite versions of the…

A ball-polyhedron is the intersection with non-empty interior of finitely many (closed) unit balls in Euclidean 3-space. One can represent the boundary of a ball-polyhedron as the union of vertices, edges, and faces defined in a rather…

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…

New rigidity results for complete non-compact spacelike submanifolds of arbitrary codimension in plane fronted waves are obtained. Under appropriate assumptions, we prove that a complete spacelike submanifold in these spacetimes is…

In this paper we prove that a conformally compact Einstein manifold with the round sphere as its conformal infinity has to be the hyperbolic space. We do not assume the manifolds to be spin, but our approach relies on the positive mass…

We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence, using bounded cohomology of group representations. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of groups arising from negative…

We show the rigid singularity theorem, that is, a globally hyperbolic spacetime satisfying the strong energy condition and containing past trapped sets, either is timelike geodesically incomplete or splits isometrically as space $\times$…

Perez proved some $L^2$ inequalities for closed convex hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, more generally, for closed hypersurfaces with non-negative Ricci curvature, immersed in an Einstein manifold. In this…

We consider polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces (such compacta are also uniformly convex). We obtain the best possible estimates for errors of considered approximations in the…

In this paper, we first prove the optimal lower bound for Alexandrov angle rigidity of torsion elliptic isometries on any complete CAT($\kappa$) space, which, when attained, leads to an embedded 2-flat in the tangent cone invariant under…

An unfolding of a polyhedron along its edges is called a vertex unfolding if adjacent faces are allowed to be connected at not only an edge but also a vertex. Demaine et al showed that every triangulated polyhedron has a vertex unfolding.…

A variant of the Circle Packing Theorem states that the combinatorial class of any convex polyhedron contains elements midscribed to the unit sphere centered at the origin, and that these representatives are unique up to M\"obius…
