We study the trigonometry of non-Euclidean tetrahedra using tools from algebraic geometry. We establish a bijection between non-Euclidean tetrahedra and certain rational elliptic surfaces. We interpret the edge lengths and the dihedral…
We present and apply a method for disproving the existence of polyhedral immersions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of certain triangulations on non-orientable surfaces. In particular, it is proved that neither of the two vertex-minimal, neighborly…
Solutions of Einstein vacuum equations, for a static pseudospherically symmetric system, are presented. They describe a naked singularity and a singular solution with many resemblances to the Schwartzschild solution but with two major…
We study the translation surfaces obtained by considering the unfoldings of the surfaces of Platonic solids. We show that they are all lattice surfaces and we compute the topology of the associated Teichm\"uller curves. Using an algorithm…
A homothetical surface arises as a graph of a function $z = \varphi_1(v_1) \varphi_2(v_2)$. In this paper, we study the homothetical surfaces in three dimensional psuedo-Galilean space$\left(\mathbb{G}_3^1\right)$ satisfying the conditions…
The symmetrized bidisc \[ G \stackrel{\rm{def}}{=}\{(z+w,zw):|z|<1,\ |w|<1\}, \] under the Carath\'eodory metric, is a complex Finsler space of cohomogeneity $1$ in which the geodesics, both real and complex, enjoy a rich geometry. As a…
Every regular map on a closed surface gives rise to generally six regular maps, its "Petrie relatives", that are obtained through iteration of the duality and Petrie operations (taking duals and Petrie-duals). It is shown that the skeletal…
In this paper, we will prove a result of nonexistence on harmonic diffeomorphisms between punctured spaces. In particular, we will given an elementary proof to the nonexistence of rotationally symmetric harmonic diffeomorphisms from the…
Start with Gott (2019)'s envelope polyhedron (Squares-4 around a point): a unit cube missing its top and bottom faces. Stretch by a factor of 2 in the vertical direction so its sides become (2x1 unit) rectangles. This has 8 faces (4…
In this article, we investigate the problem of counting totally geodesic surfaces in the complement of hyperbolic knots with at most 9 crossings. Adapting previous counting techniques of boundary slope and intersection, we establish…
We present a complete study of the geodesics around naked singularities in AdS$_3$, the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. These stationary spacetimes, characterized by two conserved charges --mass and angular momentum--, are…
An ideal triangulation of a singular flat surface is a geodesic triangulation such that its vertex set is equal to the set of singular points of the surface. Using the fact that each pair of points in a surface has a finite number of…
The monostatic property of polyhedra (i.e. the property of having just one stable or unstable static equilibrium point) has been in a focus of research ever since Conway and Guy \cite{Conway} published the proof of the existence of the…
We show that there exists a geodesic spanner with almost linear number of edges.
We show that there are no symmetric non-zero biderivations on perfect Lie algebras of finite dimension over a field of characteristic zero. We show that this is equivalent to show that every symmetric biderivation on a finite-dimensional…
A 3-parameter family of helical tubular surfaces obtained by screw revolving a circle provides a useful pedagogical example of how to study geodesics on a surface that admits a 1-parameter symmetry group, but is not as simple as a surface…
We study the abstract regular polyhedra with automorphism groups that act faithfully on their vertices, and show that each non-flat abstract regular polyhedron covers a "vertex-faithful" polyhedron with the same number of vertices. We then…
We formulate the problem of generating dense packings of nonoverlapping, non-tiling polyhedra within an adaptive fundamental cell subject to periodic boundary conditions as an optimization problem, which we call the Adaptive Shrinking Cell…
Let $P$ be a (non necessarily convex) embedded polyhedron in $\R^3$, with its vertices on an ellipsoid. Suppose that the interior of $P$ can be decomposed into convex polytopes without adding any vertex. Then $P$ is infinitesimally rigid.…
We prove that the geodesic complexity of a regular tetrahedron exceeds its topological complexity by 1 or 2. The proof involves a careful analysis of minimal geodesics on the tetrahedron.
