We survey the classification of the Riemannian metrics on spheres with respect to which all equators are minimal hypersurfaces, and discuss problems related to these geometries.

We present filling as a type of spatial subdivision problem similar to covering and packing. Filling addresses the optimal placement of overlapping objects lying entirely inside an arbitrary shape so as to cover the most interior volume. In…

This paper investigates the behaviour of the kissing number $\kappa(n, r)$ of congruent radius $r > 0$ spheres in $\mathbb{S}^n$, for $n\geq 2$. Such a quantity depends on the radius $r$, and we plot the approximate graph of $\kappa(n, r)$…

Algebraic surfaces in the complex projective space with a high number of A-type singularities have been presented in a recent paper. We extend the construction in order to obtain lower bounds for the maximal number of A singularities for…

This paper has two agendas. Firstly, we exhibit new results for coverage processes. Let $p(n,m,\alpha)$ be the probability that $n$ spherical caps of angular radius $\alpha$ in $S^m$ do not cover the whole sphere $S^m$. We give an exact…

Denote by $S^2$ the two-dimensional sphere. A spherical convex body on $S^2$ which does not properly contain a spherical convex body of the same spherical thickness is called a reduced body. We give three characterizations of reducedness of…

In this talk we show that any spherically symmetric spacetime admits locally a maximal spacelike slicing. The above condition is reduced to solve a decoupled system of first order quasi-linear partial differential equations. The solution…

This paper develops a systematic and geometric theory of optimal quantization on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^2$, focusing on finite uniform probability distributions supported on the spherical surface - rather than on lower-dimensional…
