The paper presents a new cross-ratio of hypercomplex numbers based on projective geometry. We discuss the essential properties of the projective cross-ratio, notably its invariance under Mobius transformations. Applications to the geometry…
In this article we construct a complete system of M\"obius-geometric invariants for pairs $(S^m, S^l), l \leq m$, of spheres contained in the M\"obius space $S^n$. It consists of n-m generalised stationary angles. We interpret these…
These lectures review the classical Moebius-Lie geometry and recent work on its extension. The latter considers ensembles of cycles (quadrics), which are interconnected through conformal-invariant geometric relations (e.g. "to be…
In this paper we propose and study a new structural invariant for graphs, called distance-unbalanced\-ness, as a measure of how much a graph is (un)balanced in terms of distances. Explicit formulas are presented for several classes of…
Motivated by a M\"obius invariant subdivision scheme for polygons, we study a curvature notion for discrete curves where the cross-ratio plays an important role in all our key definitions. Using a particular M\"obius invariant…
We propose to consider ensembles of cycles (quadrics), which are interconnected through conformal-invariant geometric relations (e.g. "to be orthogonal", "to be tangent", etc.), as new objects in an extended Moebius--Lie geometry. It was…
When considering geometry, one might think of working with lines and circles on a flat plane as in Euclidean geometry. However, doing geometry in other spaces is possible, as the existence of spherical and hyperbolic geometry demonstrates.…
Lipman et al. [ACM Transactions on Graphics 29 (3) (2010), 1--11] introduced the concept of biharmonic distance to measure the distances between pairs of points on a 3D surface. Biharmonic distance has some advantages over resistance…
In one complex variable, the cross ratio is a well-known quantity associated with four given points in the complex plane that remains invariant under linear fractional maps. In particular, if one knows where three points in the complex…
A problem that is simple to state in the context of spherical geometry, and that seems rather interesting, appears to have been unexamined to date in the mathematical literature. The problem can also be recast as a problem in the real…
"An invariant of metric spaces under bornologous equivalences" gives an invariant and "A coarse invariant" extends the invariant to coarse equivalences. In both papers the invariant is defined for a class of metric spaces called sigma…
We define a family of four-point invariants for Shilov boundaries of bounded symmetric domains of tube type, which generalizes the classical four-point cross ratio on the unit circle. This generalization, which is based on a similar…
We establish cross-ratio invariants for surfaces in 4-space in an analogous way to Uribe-Vargas's work for surfaces in 3-space. We study the geometric locii of local and multi-local singularities of ortogonal projections of the surface. The…
The classical theory of the cross-ratio is a beautiful case study of the moduli of ordered points of the projective line and of invariants of the action of $PGL_2$. We generalize the theory of the cross-ratio to the setting of $S$-valued…
One of basic difficulties of machine learning is handling unknown rotations of objects, for example in image recognition. A related problem is evaluation of similarity of shapes, for example of two chemical molecules, for which direct…
For a certain class of configurations of points in space, Eves' Theorem gives a ratio of products of distances that is invariant under projective transformations, generalizing the cross-ratio for four points on a line. We give a…
We study cross ratios from an axiomatic viewpoint, also known as the study of M\"obius spaces. We characterise cross ratios induced by quasi-metrics in terms of topological properties of their image. Furthermore, we generalise the notions…
This paper introduces advances in the geometry of the transforms for cross ratio of four points in a line in the Desargues affine plane. The results given here have a clean, based Desargues affine plan axiomatic's and definitions of…
In this paper we study the geometry of metric spheres in the curve complex of a surface, with the goal of determining the "average" distance between points on a given sphere. Averaging is not technically possible because metric spheres in…
A geodesic cycle is a closed curve that connects finitely many points along geodesics. We study geodesic cycles on the sphere in regard to their role in equal-weight quadrature rules and approximation.
