A (general) polygonal line tiling is a graph formed by a string of cycles, each intersecting the previous at an edge, no three intersecting. In 2022, Matsushita proved the matching complex of a certain type of polygonal line tiling with…

In this article, we review and discuss different aspects of stability and genericity of some properties of space-times which occur in various contexts in the General Theory of Relativity. We also give argument supporting the conclusion that…

There is a natural duality between line congruences in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that sends principal lines into asymptotic lines. The same correspondence takes the discriminant curve of a line congruence into the…

We list all the possible fundamental groups of the complements of real conic-line arrangements with two conics which are tangent to each other at two points, with up to two additional lines. For the computations we use the topological local…

The congruence orbit of a matrix has a natural connection with the linear complementarity problem on simplicial cones formulated for the matrix. In terms of the two approaches -- the congruence orbit and the family of all simplicial cones…

In this paper, we deal with plane curves with cusps. It is well known that there are various types of cusps. Among them, we investigate criteria for $(n, n+1)$ cusps with respect to several differential conditions and relations between…

In the second, fourth and fifth authors' previous work, a duality on generic real analytic cuspidal edges in the Euclidean 3-space $\boldsymbol R^3$ preserving their singular set images and first fundamental forms, was given. Here, we call…

2-stratifolds are a generalization of 2-manifolds in that there are disjoint simple closed curves where several sheets meet. They arise in the study of categorical invariants of 3-manifolds and may have applications to topological data…

We compute the expected value of various quantities related to the biparametric singularities of a pair of smooth centered Gaussian random fields on an n-dimensional compact manifold, such as the lengths of the critical curves and contours…

Trilinear mappings appear naturally when performing spatial isogeometric discretizations of degree $p = 1$. Among them, birational maps are characterized by the property that both the mapping and the associated inverse map are rational and…

In this paper, we investigate the continuity of linear and sublinear correspondences defined on cones in normed spaces. We also generalize some known results for sublinear correspondences.

We show that in arithmetically-Gorenstein line arrangements with only planar singularities, each line intersects the same number of other lines. This number has an algebraic interpretation: it is the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the…

A universal cycle is a cyclic sequence in which each object of a combinatorial family appears exactly once as a contiguous window. While such cycles are well understood for many discrete structures and linear subspaces, the case of affine…

We study singularities of Gauss maps of fronts and give characterizations of types of singularities of Gauss maps by geometric properties of fronts which are related to behavior of bounded principal curvatures. Moreover, we investigate…

Shrinkers are special solutions of mean curvature flow (MCF) that evolve by rescaling and model the singularities. While there are infinitely many in each dimension, [CM1] showed that the only generic are round cylinders $\SS^k\times…

It is well established that a general pair of twisted cubic curves in complex projective space has ten common secant lines. As an initial investigation, we show that the monodromy group of the ten common secant lines over the complex…

The conditions for a cuspidal edge, swallowtail and other fundamental singularities are given in the context of Lie sphere geometry. We then use these conditions to study the Lie sphere transformations of a surface.

A Tangle is a smooth simple closed curve formed from arcs (or ``links'') of circles with fixed radius. Most previous study of Tangles has dealt with the case where these arcs are quarter-circles, but Tangles comprised of thirds and sixths…
