We propose interconnections between some problems of PDE, geometry, algebra, calculus and physics. Uniqueness of a solution of the Dirichlet problem and of some other boundary value problems for the string equation inside an arbitrary…
The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…
We give an affirmative answer to the rectangular peg problem for a large class of continuous Jordan curves that contains all rectifiable curves and Stromquist's locally monotone curves. Our proof is based on microlocal sheaf theory and…
We describe a novel technique for solving the Plateau problem for constant curvature hypersurfaces based on recent work of Harvey and Lawson. This is illustrated by an existence theorem for hypersurfaces of constant Gaussian curvature in…
Let $C$ be a generic complex plane plane curve with a given Newton polygon $P$. We compute the number of its inflection points and bitangents (equivalently, the number of singularities of the projectively dual curve $C^\vee$). We also prove…
We obtain a generalized version of an inequality, first derived by C. Bandle in the analytic setting, for weak subsolutions of a singular Liouville-type equation. As an application we obtain a new proof of the Alexandrov isoperimetric…
This article, based on the talk given by one of the authors at the Pierrettefest in Castro Urdiales in June 2008, is an overview of a number of recent results on the polar invariants of plane curve singularities.
We classify the set of quadrilaterals that can be inscribed in convex Jordan curves, in the continuous as well as in the smooth case. This answers a question of Makeev in the special case of convex curves. The difficulty of this problem…
The existence of a solution to the two dimensional incompressible Euler equations in singular domains was established in [G\'erard-Varet and Lacave, The 2D Euler equation on singular domains, submitted]. The present work is about the…
We present a new explicit formula for the $m$-th Bernoulli number $B_m$, which involves two integer parameters $a$ and $n$ with $0\le a\le m\le n$. If we set $a=0$ and $n=m$, then the formula reduces to the celebrated Kronecker formula for…
We study a wide spectrum of incidence problems involving points and curves or points and surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. The current (and in fact the only viable) approach to such problems, pioneered by Guth and Katz [2010,2015], requires a…
We consider mixed types of not only regular curves but also curves with singular points in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. In order to consider mixed type of curves with singular points, we consider the lightcone frame and lightcone framed…
Given two curves in $\PP^3$, either implicitly or by a parameterization, we want to check if they intersect. For that purpose, we present and further develop generalized resultant techniques. Our aim is to provide a closed formula in the…
Fixed a point O on a non-singular surface S and a complete mO-primary ideal I in its local ring, the curves on the surface X obtained by blowing-up I are studied in terms of the base points of I. Criteria for the principality of these…
The geometry of algebraic curves over finite fields is a rich area of research. In previous work, the authors investigated a particular aspect of the geometry over finite fields of the classical unit circle, namely how the number of…
We investigate arcs on a pair of pants and present an algorithm to compute the self-intersection number of an arc. Additionally, we establish bounds for the self-intersection number in terms of the word length. We also prove that the…
A long standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any $n$ simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same…
In the present paper, we give new Frenet formulas for the Bertrand partner curve by taking the advantage of relations between curvatures and a curve itself. Then making use of these formulas we write the differential equations and…
We present a method for proving the existence of solutions to a class of one dimensional variational problems. The method is demonstrated by two examples of optimal interpolation problems which are motivated by engineering applications. In…
Because of the relevance of the results, this paper is merged into the paper titled "On the Number of Solutions to Asymptotic Plateau Problem" (arXiv:math.DG/0505593) as a new section.
