We use Ratner's theorem to compute the asymptotics of the number of (cylinders of) periodic trajectories in a rectangle with a barrier, assuming that the location p/q of the barrier is rational. We also show that as q tends to infinity, the…
The status of exotic baryons is analyzed in the limit of a large number of colors Nc. Several toy models reproducing the main features of the large-Nc QCD are studied in order to clarify the recent controversy concerning the consistency of…
In this thesis the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation formalism is used to study some properties of ground-state baryons. This formalism relies on the knowledge of the interaction kernel among quarks and of the full quark propagator. For the…
Equilateral triangle-shaped graphene nanoislands with a lateral dimension of $n$ benzene rings are known as $[n]$triangulenes. Individual $[n]$triangulenes are open-shell molecules, with single-particle electronic spectra that host $n-1$…
In contrast to many known results concerning periodic tilings of the Euclidean plane with pentagons, here tilings with rotational symmetry are investigated. A certain class of convex pentagons is introduced. It can be shown that for any…
Flow polytopes of acyclic oriented graphs arise naturally in combinatorial optimization, and the study of their volumes and triangulations has revealed intriguing connections across combinatorics, geometry, algebra, and representation…
An important aspect of improving perturbative predictions in high energy physics is efficiently reducing dimensionally regularised Feynman integrals through integration by parts (IBP) relations. The well-known triangle rule has been used to…
We study outer length billiards; our main results are as follows. We prove 3- and 4-periodic versions of the Ivrii conjecture. We show that, for every period $n\ge 3$, there exists a functional space of billiard tables that possess…
It is known that we can always 3-triangulate (i.e. divide into tetrahedra) convex polyhedra but not always non-convex ones. Polyhedra topologically equivalent to sphere with $p$ handles, shortly $p$-toroids, could not be convex. So, it is…
Given a polygon $P$ in the triangular grid, we obtain a permutation $\pi_P$ via a natural billiards system in which beams of light bounce around inside of $P$. The different cycles in $\pi_P$ correspond to the different trajectories of…
We classify lattice $3$-polytopes of width larger than one and with exactly $6$ lattice points. We show that there are $74$ polytopes of width $2$, two polytopes of width $3$, and none of larger width. We give explicit coordinates for…
In this paper, we investigate the relationships between the volumes of four convex bodies: the cut polytope, metric polytope, rooted metric polytope, and elliptope, defined on graphs with $n$ vertices. The cut polytope is contained in each…
We provide a complete classification up to isomorphism of all smooth convex lattice 3-polytopes with at most 16 lattice points. There exist in total 103 different polytopes meeting these criteria. Of these, 99 are strict Cayley polytopes…
Folding of the triangular lattice in a discrete three-dimensional space is investigated numerically. Such ``discrete folding'' has come under through theoretical investigation, since Bowick and co-worker introduced it as a simplified model…
The interplay of topological constraints and persistence length of ring polymers in their own melt is investigated by means of dynamical Monte Carlo simulations of a three dimensional lattice model. We ask if the results are consistent with…
In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in the interior of a conically bounded convex set, i.e., an unbounded convex body admitting an \emph{exterior} asymptotic cone. Results…
Covering a graph or a lattice with non-overlapping dimers is a problem that has received considerable interest in areas such as discrete mathematics, statistical physics, chemistry and materials science. Yet, the problem of percolation on…
Guided by physical needs, we deal with the rotationally isotropic Poincar\'e ball, when considering the complement of Borromean rings embedded in it. We consistently describe the geometry of the complement and realize the fundamental group…

We describe all families of star-shaped n-polygons in the Euclidean plane with prescribed perimeter and area ; they are leaves of a foliation F on the space of star-shaped n-polygons. By the way, we study some geometric properties of convex…
