We show spherical completeness of the ring of Colombeau generalized real (or complex) numbers endowed with the sharp norm. As an application, we establish a Hahn Banach extension theorem for ultra pseudo normed modules (over the ring of…
We study the sphere packing problem in Euclidean space where we impose additional constraints on the separations of the center points. We prove that any sphere packing in dimension $48$, with spheres of radii $r$, such that no two centers…
For $d\in\mathbb{N}$, a compact sphere packing of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ is a set of spheres in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with disjoint interiors so that the contact hypergraph of the packing is the vertex scheme of a homogeneous…
Motivated by the search for best lattice sphere packings in Euclidean spaces of large dimensions we study randomly generated perfect lattices in moderately large dimensions (up to d=19 included). Perfect lattices are relevant in the…
In this paper, we propose a class of elementary plane geometry problems closely related to the title of this paper. Here, a circle is the 1-dimensional curve bounding a disk. For any nonnegative integer, a circle is called $n$-enclosing if…
In this dissertation we attempt to answer the question of whether non-abelian gauge groups occur in all F-theory models with Picard number 20 and with a Calabi-Yau four-fold CY4 K3xK3. To do so we employ the Kneser-Nishiyama method to study…
We show that every irreducible integral Apollonian packing can be set in the Euclidean space so that all of its tangency spinors and all reduced coordinates and co-curvatures are integral. As a byproduct, we prove that in any integral…
We call a packing of hyperspheres in $n$ dimensions an Apollonian sphere packing if the spheres intersect tangentially or not at all; they fill the $n$-dimensional space; and every sphere in the packing is a member of a cluster of $n+2$…
In this paper we introduce the notion of an assembler, which formally encodes "cutting and pasting" data. An assembler has an associated $K$-theory spectrum, in which $\pi_0$ is the free abelian group of objects of the assembler modulo the…
Four mutually tangent spheres form two gaps. In each of these, one can inscribe in a unique way four mutually tangent spheres such that each one of these spheres is tangent to exactly three of the original spheres. Repeating the process…
We make a detailed investigation of all spaces Q_{n_1... n_N}^{q_1... q_N} of the form of U(1) bundles over arbitrary products \prod_i CP^{n_i} of complex projective spaces, with arbitrary winding numbers q_i over each factor in the base.…
We define the $C^*$-algebra of quantum real projective space $\R P_q^2$, classify its irreducible representations and compute its $K$-theory. We also show that the $q$-disc of Klimek-Lesniewski can be obtained as a non-Galois…
Steinhaus proved that given a~positive integer $n$, one may find a circle surrounding exactly $n$ points of the integer lattice. This statement has been recently extended to Hilbert spaces by Zwole\'{n}ski, who replaced the integer lattice…
Packing problems, which ask how to arrange a collection of objects in space to meet certain criteria, are important in a great many physical and biological systems, where geometrical arrangements at small scales control behaviour at larger…
We prove that the set of quadratic growths achievable by integer superharmonic functions on the $F$-lattice, a periodic subgraph of the square lattice with oriented edges, has the structure of an overlapping circle packing. The proof…
We prove that for all integers $2\leq m\leq d-1$, there exists doubling measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with full support that are $m$-rectifiable and purely $(m-1)$-unrectifiable in the sense of Federer (i.e. without assuming…
The loop space $L\mathbb{P}_1$ of the Riemann sphere consisting of all $C^k$ or Sobolev $W^{k,p}$ maps from the circle $S^1$ to $\mathbb{P}_1$ is an infinite dimensional complex manifold. The loop group $LPGL(2,\mathbb{C})$ acts on…
We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analysing the rules for phyllotactic indices of related structures and the variation…
We use operator algebras and operator theory to obtain new result concerning Berezin quantization of compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main tool is the notion of subproduct systems of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which enables all…
We introduce a simple procedure to integrate differential forms with arbitrary holomorphic poles on Riemann surfaces. It gives rise to an intrinsic regularization of such singular integrals in terms of the underlying conformal geometry.…
