This article describes the geometry of isomorphisms between complements of geometrically irreducible closed curves in the affine plane $\mathbb{A}^2$, over an arbitrary field, which do not extend to an automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^2$. We…

A covering path for a planar point set is a path drawn in the plane with straight-line edges such that every point lies at a vertex or on an edge of the path. A covering tree is defined analogously. Let $\pi(n)$ be the minimum number such…

The concept of number and its generalization has played a central role in the development of mathematics over many centuries and many civilizations. Noteworthy milestones in this long and arduous process were the developments of the real…

We prove that $n$ plane algebraic curves determine $O(n^{(k+2)/(k+1)})$ points of $k$-th order tangency. This generalizes an earlier result of Ellenberg, Solymosi, and Zahl on the number of (first order) tangencies determined by $n$ plane…

In a recent paper by Cook, et al., which introduced the concept of unexpected plane curves, the focus was on understanding the geometry of the curves themselves. Here we expand the definition to hypersurfaces of any dimension and, using…

The restrictions on the topology of nonsingular plane projective real algebraic curves of odd degree, obtained by O. Viro and the author in the paper published in the early 90s, are extended to flexible curves lying on an almost complex…

The order in which plane-filling curves visit points in the plane can be exploited to design efficient algorithms. Typically, the curves are useful because they preserve locality: points that are close to each other along the curve tend to…

In the 1950's, English painter Anthony Hill described drawings of complete graphs $K_n$ in the plane having precisely $$H(n) = \tfrac{1}{4}\lfloor \tfrac{n}{2}\rfloor \, \lfloor \tfrac{n-1}{2}\rfloor \, \lfloor \tfrac{n-2}{2}\rfloor…

The Rubik's cube was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik, who had no idea of the incredible popularity and mathematical fascinations his toy would bring. Through the years of study on the mathematical properties of the cube, the Rubik's Cube…

The Severi variety $V_{d,n}$ of plane curves of a given degree $d$ and exactly $n$ nodes admits a map to the Hilbert scheme $\mathbb{P}^{2[n]}$ of zero-dimensional subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $n$. This map assigns to every curve…

We review the motivation and fundamental properties of the Hausdorff dimension of metric spaces and illustrate this with a number of examples, some of which are expected and well-known. We also give examples where the Hausdorff dimension…

We define Peano covering maps and prove basic properties analogous to classical covers. Their domain is always locally path-connected but the range may be an arbitrary topological space. One of characterizations of Peano covering maps is…

Consider a curve $\Gamma$ in a domain $D$ in the plane $\boldsymbol R^2$. Thinking of $D$ as a piece of paper, one can make a curved folding $P$ in the Euclidean space $\boldsymbol R^3$. The singular set $C$ of $P$ as a space curve is…

We show that among any $n$ points in the unit cube one can find a triangle of area at most $n^{-2/3-c}$ for some absolute constant $c >0$. This gives the first non-trivial upper bound for the three-dimensional version of Heilbronn's…

We consider a length functional for $C^1$ curves of fixed degree in graded manifolds equipped with a Riemannian metric. The first variation of this length functional can be computed only if the curve can be deformed in a suitable sense, and…

Let $M$ be a compact $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without a boundary. Given $E \subset M$, let $\Delta_{\rho}(E)=\{\rho(x,y): x,y \in E \}$, where $\rho$ is the Riemannian metric on $M$. Let $\Delta_{\rho}^x$ denote the pinned…

We consider the Peano curve separating a spanning tree from its dual spanning tree on an embedded planar graph, where the tree and dual tree are weighted by $y$ to the number of active edges, and "active" is in the sense of the Tutte…

In this paper we study $(i)$-curves with $i\in \{-1, 0, 1\}$ in the blown up projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ in general points. The notion of $(-1)$-curves was analyzed in the early days of mirror symmetry by Kontsevich with the motivation…

Two new applications of a technique for spaceability are given in this paper. For the first time this technique is used in the investigation of the algebraic genericity property of the weak form of Peano's theorem on the existence of…

In the elastic shape analysis approach to shape matching and object classification, plane curves are represented as points in an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, wherein shape dissimilarity is measured by geodesic distance. A…
