We develop a rigidity theory for frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which have two coincident points but are otherwise generic and only infinitesimal motions which are tangential to a family of cylinders induced by the realisation are considered.…
We study affine maps between affine manifolds. Even when the fibers are compact and diffeomorphic, two of them can inherit different affine structures from the source space. This leads to a fixed linear holonomy deformation theory of the…
In this article we consider an open conjecture about coherently labelling a polyhedron in three dimensions. We exhibit all the forty eight possible coherent labellings of a tetrahedron. We also exhibit that some simplicial polyhedra like…
We prove that a 3--dimensional hyperbolic cusp with convex polyhedral boundary is uniquely determined by its Gauss image. Furthermore, any spherical metric on the torus with cone singularities of negative curvature and all closed…
A certain real number, depending on two neighbouring sides of a quadrilateral and the diagonal meeting these two sides at their common point, is shown to be invariant under affinity. As an application we demonstrate a nice formula for the…
A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers $(p,n)$ such that $p\leq 2n$, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on $p$-forms of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold are the same as those of $\mathbb{C}P^n$…
We describe the compact Lorentzian $3$-manifolds admitting a parallel lightlike vector field. The classification of compact Lorentzian $3$-manifolds admitting non-isometric affine diffeomorphisms follows, together with the complete…
We investigate the relationship between affine and Stein varieties in the context of rigid geometry. We show that the two concepts are much more closely related than in complex geometry, e.g. they are equivalent for surfaces. This rests on…
We study symmetric affine surfaces which have non-vanishing torsion tensor. We give a complete classification of the local geometries possible if the torsion is assumed parallel. This generalizes a previous result of Opozda in the torsion…
Axisymmetric, rigidly rotating polytropes are considered in the framework of both the original Chandrasekhar (C33) approximation and a different version (extended C33 approximation). Special effort is devoted to two specific points, namely…
We describe an algorithm for determining whether two convex polytopes P and Q, embedded in a lattice, are isomorphic with respect to a lattice automorphism. We extend this to a method for determining if P and Q are equivalent, i.e. whether…
In this work, we explore a three-dimensional formulation of the polynomial affine model of gravity, which is a model that extends general relativity by relaxing the equivalence principle through the exclusion of the metric from the set of…
The following numerical control over the topological equivalence is proved: two complex polynomials in $n\not= 3$ variables and with isolated singularities are topologically equivalent if one deforms into the other by a continuous family of…
In discrete differential geometry, it is widely believed that the discrete Gaussian curvature of a polyhedral vertex star equals the algebraic area of its Gauss image. However, no complete proof has yet been described. We present an…
Using standard methods for studying singularities of projections and of contacts, we classify the stable singularities of affine $\lambda$-equidistants of $n$-dimensional closed submanifolds of $\mathbb R^q$, for $q\leq 2n$, whenever…
Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…
Answering a question of Conway and Guy in a 1968 paper, L\'angi in 2021 proved the existence of a monostable polyhedron with $n$-fold rotational symmetry for any $n \geq 3$, and arbitrarily close to a Euclidean ball. In this paper we…
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
Rigidity results are obtained for Riemannian $d$-manifolds with $\sec \geqslant 1$ and spherical rank at least $d-2>0$. Conjecturally, all such manifolds are locally isometric to a round sphere or complex projective space with the…
Motivated by questions from Ehrhart theory, we present new results on discrete equidecomposability. Two rational polygons $P$ and $Q$ are said to be discretely equidecomposable if there exists a piecewise affine-unimodular bijection…
