We consider the problem of deciding whether a polygonal knot in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is unknotted, capable of being continuously deformed without self-intersection so that it lies in a plane. We show that this problem, {\sc…
A pentagonal geometry PENT($k$, $r$) is a partial linear space, where every line, or block, is incident with $k$ points, every point is incident with $r$ lines, and for each point $x$, there is a line incident with precisely those points…
We give a classification up to equisingular deformation and compute the fundamental groups of maximizing plane sextics with a type $\mathbf{E}_6$ singular point.
Given a collection of points in the plane, classifying which subsets are collinear is a natural problem and is related to classical geometric constructions. We consider collections of points in a projective plane over a finite field such…
We study combinatorial configurations with the associated point and line graphs being strongly regular. Examples not belonging to known classes such as partial geometries and their generalizations or elliptic semiplanes are constructed.…
In this paper we introduce point-ellipse configurations and point-conic configurations. We study some of their basic properties and describe two interesting families of balanced point-ellipse, respectively point-conic $6$-configurations.…
We suggest that the emergence of a large deformation in the magnesium, Mg, nuclides, especially at the Z = 12, N = 12, should be associated with an octahedral deformed shape. Within the framework of molecular geometrical symmetry, we find a…
Class-S theories are four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories constructed by the reduction of a (2,0) six-dimensional theory on a punctured Riemann surface C (called the UV curve). A basic degeneration limit of the surface C is…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into smaller triangles of various sizes. We give theorems about the relationship between the radii of certain excircles of some of these…
This paper continues the investigation of Part I, by studying the conic $\mathcal{C}_P$ on the five points $ABCPQ$, where $ABC$ is a given ordinary triangle and $Q$ is the isotomcomplement of $P$, defined as the complement of the isotomic…
In this article, we prove that there are at most two meromorphic mappings of $\mathbb C^m$ into $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)\ (n\geqslant 2)$ sharing $2n+2$ hyperplanes in general position regardless of multiplicity, where all zeros with…
When considering geometry, one might think of working with lines and circles on a flat plane as in Euclidean geometry. However, doing geometry in other spaces is possible, as the existence of spherical and hyperbolic geometry demonstrates.…
The motivating problem addressed by this paper is to describe those non-degenerate sets of points $Z$ in $\mathbb P^3$ whose general projection to a general plane is a complete intersection of curves in that plane. One large class of such…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that may have different lengths in two directions. We develop properties of the graph of lines, in which adjacency means having a common point, especially its strong regularity and clique…
By the result of Artin--Tate--Van den Bergh, every $3$-dimensional cubic AS-regular algebra A can be expressed as a geometric algebra $A=\mathcal{A}(E,\sigma)$, where $E$ is either $\mathbb{P}^{1}\times \mathbb{P}^{1}$ or a curve of…
A curve C in the projective plane is called non-negative if the self-intersection number of C after the minimal resolution of singularities of C is non-negative. Given a unicuspidal rational plane curve C with singular point P, we study the…
This paper applies a complete parametric set for approximating the geometry of a quadrilateral element. The approximation basis used is a complete Pascal polynomial of second order with six free parameters. The interpolation procedure is a…
Finding the intersection of two conics is a commonly occurring problem. For example, it occurs when identifying patterns of craters on the lunar surface, detecting the orientation of a face from a single image, or estimating the attitude of…
We discuss the theorem on the existence of six points on a convex closed plane curve in which the curve has a contact of order six with the osculating conic. (This is the ``projective version'' of the well known four vertices theorem for a…
The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…
