The symmedian point of a triangle enjoys several geometric and optimality properties, which also serve to define it. We develop a new dynamical coordinatization of the symmedian, which naturally generalizes to other ideal hyperbolic…
In this pedagogical note we present a short proof of the following main result of arxiv.org/abs/0911.5319, and clarify its relation to the isoperimetric problem. On the hyperbolic plane consider triangles ABC with fixed lengths of AB and…
It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…
A rational triangle is a triangle with rational side lengths. We consider three different families of rational triangles having a fixed side and whose vertices are rational points in the plane. We display a one-to-one correspondence between…
The 2-body problem on the sphere and hyperbolic space are both real forms of holomorphic Hamiltonian systems defined on the complex sphere. This admits a natural description in terms of biquaternions and allows us to address questions…
In this paper we provide the first examples of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds that are rational homology spheres and bound geometrically either compact or cusped hyperbolic 4-manifolds.
Consider the Poincare disc model for hyperbolic geometry. In this paper, a convenient computational formula is developed along with an aesthetic geometric interpretation. Two proofs, one geometric and one analytical, of each result are…
We consider hyperbolic manifolds with boundary, which admit an ideal triangulation with n ideal triangles and one edge. We prove that the number of these manifolds is $\exp(n\ln(n)+O(n))$.
A Heron triangle is a triangle whose side lengths and area are integers. Two Heron triangles are amicable if the perimeter of one is the area of the other. We show, using elementary techniques, that there is only one pair of amicable Heron…
The existence of hyperbolic orbits is proved for a class of restricted three-body problems with a fixed energy by taking limit for a sequence of periodic solutions which are obtained by variational methods.
This article discusses two versions of elliptic equations obtained from a system of equations describing a rational cuboid. Analysis of elliptic equations shows that they are equivalent, and that there are rational points on the elliptic…
Let $\Delta$ be a hyperbolic triangle with a fixed area $\varphi$. We prove that for all but countably many $\varphi$, generic choices of $\Delta$ have the property that the group generated by the $\pi$--rotations about the midpoints of the…
We show that all hyperbolic surfaces admit an ideal triangulation with bounded shear parameters. This upper bound depends logarithmically on the topology of the surface.
A rational spherical triangle is a triangle on the unit sphere such that the lengths of its three sides and its area are rational multiples of $\pi$. Little and Coxeter have given examples of rational spherical triangles in 1980s. In this…
The hexagon is the least-perimeter tile in the Euclidean plane for any given area. On hyperbolic surfaces, this "isoperimetric" problem differs for every given area, as solutions do not scale. Cox conjectured that a regular $k$-gonal tile…
Richard Guy asked the following question: can we find a triangle with rational sides, medians, and area? Such a triangle is called a \emph{perfect triangle} and no example has been found to date. It is widely believed that such a triangle…
The relevance of this paper lies in the fact that it resolves two previously unsolved open problems. In the first part of the paper, a new lemma is proved, from which it follows that if there exists a triangle with integer sides and…
A hyperbolic polygon is defined to be cyclic, horocyclic, or equidistant if its vertices lie on a metric circle, horocycle, or a component of the equidistant locus to a hyperbolic geodesic, respectively. Convex such $n$-gons are…
Given any positive integer n, it is well known that there always exist triangles with rational sides a, b and c such that the area of the triangle is n. Assuming finiteness of the Shafarevich-Tate group, we first construct a family of…
A generalization of the congruent number problem is to find positive integers $n$ that appear as the areas of Heron triangles. Selmer group of a congruent number elliptic curve has been studied quite extensively. Here, we look into the…
