We consider the problem of estimating the volume of a compact domain in a Euclidean space based on a uniform sample from the domain. We assume the domain has a boundary with positive reach. We propose a data splitting approach to correct…

We describe all possible topological structures of codimension one gradient vector fields on the shpere with at most ten singular points. To describe structures, we use a graph whose edges are one-dimensional stable manifolds. The…

An analysis of the one-loop vacuum fluctuations associated with a scalar field confined in the interior of a infinite waveguide of rectangular cross section is presented. We first consider the massless scalar field defined in a…

We compute the $k$-width of a round $2$-sphere for $k=1,\ldots,8$ and we use this result to show that unstable embedded closed geodesics can arise with multiplicity as a min-max critical varifold.

We discuss different generalizations of the classical notion of the index of a singular point of a vector field to the case of vector fields or 1-forms on singular varieties, describe relations between them and formulae for their…

We bound the number of incidences between points and spheres in finite vector spaces by bounding the sum of the number of points in the pairwise intersections of the spheres. We obtain new incidence bounds that are interesting when the…

A unit-vector field n on a convex three-dimensional polyhedron P is tangent if, on the faces of P, n is tangent to the faces. A homotopy classification of tangent unit-vector fields continuous away from the vertices of P is given. The…

Theorems on the existence of vector fields with given sets of Indexes of isolated Singular points are proved for the cases of closed manifolds, pairs of manifolds, manifolds with boundary, and gradient fields. It is proved that, on a…

We give a new proof of the well-known result that the minimal volume vector fields on $\mathbb{S}^3(r)$ are the Hopf vector fields. Such proof relies again on calibration theory, arising here from a systematic point of view given by a…

For a non-vanishing gradient-like vector field on a compact manifold $X^{n+1}$ with boundary, a discrete set of trajectories may be tangent to the boundary with reduced multiplicity $n$, which is the maximum possible. (Among them are…

A minimal immersion from a surface to $S^3$ can be viewed both as a critical point of the area and of the energy. Although no difference appears at first order, looking at the respective second variations unveils significant differences. It…

We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…
