We prove that the homotopy type of a map from a Peano continuum into a planar or one-dimensional space is determined by the induced homomorphism of fundamental groups. This provides a new proof that planar sets are aspherical and is used to…
We show that a uniformly acute triangulation of the plane is rigid under Luo's discrete conformal change, extending previous results on hexagonal triangulations. Our result is a discrete analogue of the conformal rigidity of the plane. We…
We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we…
We study the orthospectrum and the simple orthospectrum of compact hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary. We show that there are finitely many hyperbolic surfaces sharing the same simple orthospectrum and finitely many hyperbolic…
We prove that the tangent bundle of a generic space of planar n-gons with specified side lengths, identified under isometry, plus a trivial line bundle is isomorphic to (n-2) times a canonical line bundle. We then discuss consequences for…
We prove that the symmetry group of an elasticity tensor is equal to the symmetry group of the corresponding Christoffel matrix.
We review some recent results in the generic rigidity theory of planar frameworks with forced symmetry, giving a uniform treatment to the topic. We also give new combinatorial characterizations of minimally rigid periodic frameworks with…
We prove the following rigidity result: every compact three-dimensional Heterotic soliton with vanishing torsion and harmonic curvature is rigid, namely, it is an isolated point in the moduli space.
We show that the strong cohomological rigidity conjecture for Bott manifolds is true. Namely, any graded cohomology ring isomorphism between two Bott manifolds is induced by a diffeomorphism.
Based on the Weierstrass representation of second variation we develop a non-spectral theory of stability for isoperimetric problem with minimized and constrained two-dimensional functionals of general type and free endpoints allowed to…
The affinely regular polygons in certain planar sets are characterized. It is also shown that the obtained results apply to cyclotomic model sets and, additionally, have consequences in the discrete tomography of these sets.
In this paper we establish combinatorial characterisations of symmetry-generic infinitesimally rigid frameworks in the Euclidean plane for rotational groups of order 4 and 6, and of odd order between 5 and 1000, where a joint may lie at the…
We present a self-contained short proof of the seminal result of Dillencourt (SoCG 1987 and DCG 1990) that Delaunay triangulations, of planar point sets in general position, are 1-tough. An important implication of this result is that…
Two planar embedded circle patterns with the same combinatorics and the same intersection angles can be considered to define a discrete conformal map. We show that two locally finite circle patterns covering the unit disc are related by a…
We prove that ellipses are infinitesimally spectrally rigid among $C^{\infty}$ domains with the symmetries of the ellipse.
It is shown that, under some natural assumptions, the tensor product of differentially smooth algebras and the skew-polynomial rings over differentially smooth algebras are differentially smooth.
We prove rigidity of oriented isometric immersions of complete surfaces in the homo- geneous 3-manifolds E(k; {\tau}) (different from the space forms) having the same positive extrinsic curvature.
We introduce a trilinear functional of differential one-forms for a finitely summable regular spectral triple with a noncommutative residue. We demonstrate that for a canonical spectral triple over a closed spin manifold it recovers the…
We formulate and prove a periodic analog of Maxwell's theorem relating stressed planar frameworks and their liftings to polyhedral surfaces with spherical topology. We use our lifting theorem to prove deformation and rigidity-theoretic…
