Intrinsic volumes are fundamental geometric invariants generalizing volume, surface area, and mean width for convex bodies. We establish a unified Laplace-Grassmannian representation for intrinsic and dual volumes of convex polynomial…

A strict orthogonal drawing of a graph $G=(V, E)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a drawing of $G$ such that each vertex is mapped to a distinct point and each edge is mapped to a horizontal or vertical line segment. A graph $G$ is $HV$-restricted if…

We prove that if $n$ is even, $(M,g)$ is a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Pfaffian form is a positive multiple of the volume form, and $y\in C^{1,\alpha}(M;\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ is an isometric immersion with $n/(n+1)<…

For each $g \ge 2$, we prove existence of a computable constant $\epsilon(g) > 0$ such that if $S$ is a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of genus $g$ in a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ and $\gamma$ is a simple geodesic of length…

We study the geometry of the image of the nonnegative orthant under the power-sum map and the elementary symmetric polynomials map. After analyzing the image in finitely many variables, we concentrate on the limit as the number of variables…

Motivated by geometry processing for surfaces with non-trivial topology, we study discrete harmonic maps between closed surfaces of genus at least two. Harmonic maps provide a natural framework for comparing surfaces by minimizing…

A regular map is a surface together with an embedded graph, having properties similar to those of the surface and graph of a platonic solid. We analyze regular maps with reflection symmetry and a graph of density strictly exceeding 1/2, and…

Given a continuous vector field $\lambda(t, \cdot)$ of Sobolev class $H^{\frac 32}$ on the unit circle $S^1$, the flow maps $\eta=g(t, \cdot)$ of the differential equation $$ \cases \frac{d\eta}{dt}=\lambda(t, \eta)\\ \eta(0,\zeta)=\zeta…

Given a simply connected, closed four manifold, we associate to it a simply connected, closed, spin five manifold. This leads to several consequences : the stable and unstable homotopy groups of such a four manifold is determined by its…

We construct a connected, irreducible component of the moduli space of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K^2=5$, which contains both examples given by Chen-Hacon and the first author. This component is generically smooth…

The symmetric edge polytope ($\mathrm{SEP}$) of a finite simple graph $G$ is a centrally symmetric lattice polytope whose vertices are defined by the edges of the graph. Among the information encoded by these polytopes are the symmetries of…

We study Weil-Petersson (WP) geodesics with narrow end invariant and develop techniques to control length-functions and twist parameters along them and prescribe their itinerary in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. This class of…

Let $D$ be the set of $\beta \in (1, 2]$ such that $f_\beta$ is a symmetric tent map with finite critical orbit. For $\beta \in D$, by operating Denjoy like surgery on $f_{\beta}$, we constructed a $C^1$ unimodal map $\tilde{g}_\beta$…

We study the algorithmic decidability of the domination number in the Erdos-Renyi random graph model $G(n,p)$. We show that for a carefully chosen edge probability $p=p(n)$, the domination problem exhibits a strong irreducible property.…

Let $\lambda$ be a dominant weight of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The convex hull of $W\lambda$ is defined as the weight polytope of $\lambda$. We provide a new proof that there is a natural bijection…

Motivated by Bonahon's result for hyperbolic surfaces, we construct an analogue of the Patterson-Sullivan-Bowen-Margulis map from the Culler-Vogtmann outer space $CV(F_k)$ into the space of projectivized geodesic currents on a free group.…
