We examine pairs of closed plane curves that have the same closing property as two conic sections in Poncelet's porism. We show how the vertex curve can be computed for a given envelope and vice versa. Our formulas are universal in the…
Given a triangulation of a closed topological cube, we show that (under some technical condition) there is an essentially unique tiling of a rectangular parallelepiped by cubes, indexed by the vertices of the triangulation. Moreover, i -…
We explore geometric and topological properties of 3d surfaces swept by Poncelet triangles, as well as tangles formed by associated points.
One of the general problems in algebraic geometry is to determine algorithmically whether or not a given geometric object, defined by explicit polynomial equations (e.g. a curve or a surface), satisfies a given property (e.g. has…
Counting Euclidean triangulations with vertices in a finite set $\C$ of the convex hull $\conv(\C)$ of $\C$ is difficult in general, both algorithmically and theoretically. The aim of this paper is to describe nearly convex polygons, a…
We consider triangulations of closed surfaces S with a given set of vertices V; every triangulation can be branched that is enhanced to a Delta-complex. Branched triangulations are considered up to the b-transit equivalence generated by…
In Lorentzian geometry, limited definition of angles restricts the use of angle bisectors in study of triangles. This paper redefines angle bisectors so that they can be used to study attributes of triangles. Using the new definition, this…
Given a triangulation of a point set in the plane, a \emph{flip} deletes an edge $e$ whose removal leaves a convex quadrilateral, and replaces $e$ by the opposite diagonal of the quadrilateral. It is well known that any triangulation of a…
Any four mutually tangent spheres in R^3 determine three coincident lines through opposite pairs of tangencies. As a consequence, we define two new triangle centers.
The analysis of the fully three-dimensional and time-varying polarization characteristics of a modulated trivariate, or three-component, oscillation is addressed. The use of the analytic operator enables the instantaneous three-dimensional…
We explain the correspondences between twisted monopoles with Dirac type singularity and polystable twisted mini-holomorphic bundles with Dirac type singularity on a 3-dimensional torus. We also explain that they are equivalent to…
The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…
The calculation of particle decay widths and scattering cross sections naturally decomposes into a quantum mechanical amplitude and a relativistic phase space (PS). This PS can be formulated in terms of parallelotopes providing frame…
We give a new proof of the formula expressing the area of the triangle whose vertices are the projections of an arbitrary point in the plane onto the sides of a given triangle, in terms of the geometry of the given triangle and the location…
Consider a triangle $ABC$ with given lengths $l_a,l_b,l_c$ of its internal angle bisectors. We prove that in general, it is impossible to construct a square of the same area as $ABC$ using a ruler and compass. Moreover, it is impossible to…
We study the dynamics of the five-parameter quadratic family of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of R^3. This family is the unfolded normal form for a bifurcation of a fixed point with a triple-one multiplier and also is the general form…
We propose a simple geometrical construction of topological invariants of 3-strand Brownian braids viewed as world lines of 3 particles performing independent Brownian motions in the complex plane z. Our construction is based on the…
This paper explores and proves the one-seventh area triangle using a purely algebraic approach as opposed to a geometric one. A triangle set purely in the complex plane is used so that we can utilise features of the complex number system to…
We prove some classification results for tight contact structure in the 3-space, -ball and -sphere that are invariant with respect to some arbitrary involution, that is conjugated to the standard rotation around the x-axis. Unlike the…
In the present paper, loxodromes, which cut all meridians and parallels of twisted surfaces (that can be considered as a generalization of rotational surfaces) at a constant angle, have been studied in Euclidean 3-space and some examples…
