This is a preliminary investigation of the geometry and dynamics of rational maps with only two critical points. (originally titled ``On Bicritical Rational Maps'' in September 1997; revised and retitled April 1999)
This is a continuation of the work initiated in a previous paper on so-called driven cofactor systems, which are partially decoupling second-order differential equations of a special kind. The main purpose in that paper was to obtain an…
This paper is a detailed study of finite-dimensional modules defined on bicomplex numbers. A number of results are proved on bicomplex square matrices, linear operators, orthogonal bases, self-adjoint operators and Hilbert spaces, including…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of a real, continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernel on a two-point compact homogeneous space. The characterization adds to others previously…
Long ago appeared a discussion in quantum mechanics of the problem of opening a completely absorbing shutter on which were impinging a stream of particles of definite velocity. The solution of the problem was obtained in a form entirely…
The object of this expository work is to try to unveil the topological/geometric intuition behind the theory of free groups and their automorphism and outer automorphism groups. The method we follow is to focus on a series of problems in…
This paper is a continuation of the papers [2,3,4,5,6]. In this paper the osculating spaces of arbitrary order of a manifold embedded in Euclidean space are considered. A better estimation of their dimensions as well as the description of…
The purpose of this article is twofold: first of all, we want to define two norms using the space of intrinsically Lipschitz sections. On the other hand, we want to generalize an Extension Theorem proved by the author in the context of the…
The aim of the present paper is, firstly we study the concepts of (m, (q_1, ..., q_d))- partial isometries on a Hilbert space, secondly, we introduce the notion of m- invertibility of tuples of operators as a natural generalization of the…
This paper is a continuation of our earlier work "[T. Jin, Y.Y. Li and J. Xiong, On a fractional Nirenberg problem, part I: blow up analysis and compactness of solutions, to appear in J. Eur. Math. Soc.]", where compactness results were…
Every stable 4-sphere is identified with the double branched covering space of a trivial surface-knot space. As a result of Wall, it is known that any two orthogonal bases of every stable 4-sphere are transformed into each other by an…
We study the James constant $J(\mathbb{X})$, an important geometric quantity associated with a normed space $ \mathbb{X} $, and explore its connection with isosceles orthogonality $ \perp_I. $ The James constant is defined as $J(\mathbb{X})…
The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
This paper shows how to use the shooting method, a classical numerical algorithm for solving boundary value problems, to compute the Riemannian distance on the Stiefel manifold $\mathrm{St}(n,p)$, the set of $ n \times p $ matrices with…
The aim of this paper is to organize some known mass formulas arising from a definite central division algebra over a global field and to deduce some more new ones.
We survey some major contributions to Riemann's moduli space and Teichm{\"u}ller space. Our report has a historical character, but the stress is on the chain of mathematical ideas. We start with the introduction of Riemann surfaces, and we…
Free actions of finite groups on spheres give rise to topological spherical space forms. The existence and classification problems for space forms have a long history in the geometry and topology of manifolds. In this article, we present a…
A partial formula is provided to calculate the smallest number of vertices possible in a quadrangulation on the closed orientable 2-manifold of given genus. This extends the previously known partial formula due to N. Hartsfield and G.…
The goal of the work is to take on and study one of the fundamental tasks studying Bidiophantine polygons (let us call a polygon Diophantine, if the distance between each two vertex of those is expressed by a natural number and we say that…
We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…
