We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…

Symmetry detection, especially partial and extrinsic symmetry, is essential for various downstream tasks, like 3D geometry completion, segmentation, compression and structure-aware shape encoding or generation. In order to detect partial…

We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…

The structural properties of packed soft-core particles provide a platform to understand the cross-pollinated physical concepts in solid-state- and soft-matter physics. Confined on spherical surface, the traditional differential geometry…

This paper considers the distribution of charge over the surface of a conductor, and specifically the old rule-of-thumb that charge accumulates near sharp points and more generally in regions of high curvature. The discussion is almost…

We study the equations in divergence form with piecewise $C^{\ga}$ coefficients. The domains contain corners and the discontinuity surfaces are attached to edges of the corners. We obtain piecewise $C^{1,\ga}$ estimates across the…

We argue that for a smooth surface S, considered as a ramified cover over the projective plane branched over a nodal-cuspidal curve B one could use the structure of the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve to understand…

Congruent polygons are congruent in angles as well as in edge lengths. We concentrate on the angle aspect, and investigate how tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons can be determined by the angle information only. We also investigate…

We classify and expose all the gradient Ricci solitons on complete surfaces, open or closed, with curvature bounded below, and possibly with a discrete set of cone-like singular points that arise naturally. We give a precise qualitative…

We use PDE methods as developed for the Liouville equation to study the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed singularities on surfaces with boundary, the boundary condition being constant geodesic curvature. Our first result shows…

We study conformal metrics with prescribed Gaussian curvature on surfaces with conical singularities and geodesic boundary in supercritical regimes. Exploiting a variational argument, we derive a general existence result for surfaces with…

We consider a mixture of one neutral and two oppositely charged types of molecules confined to a surface. Using analytical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations, we construct the phase diagram of the system and exhibit the…

For singular corank 1 surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ we introduce a distinguished normal vector called the axial vector. Using this vector and the curvature parabola we define a new type of curvature called the axial curvature, which generalizes…

In this paper, we consider patch solutions to the $\alpha$-SQG equation and derive new criteria for the absence of splash singularity where different patches or parts of the same patch collide in finite time. Our criterion refines a result…

We determine which connected surfaces can be partitioned into topological circles. There are exactly seven such surfaces up to homeomorphism: those of finite type, of Euler characteristic zero, and with compact boundary components. As a…

In this paper we obtain density estimates for compact surfaces immersed in R^n with total boundary curvature less than 4pi and with sufficiently small L^p norm of the mean curvature, p>2. Our results generalize the main results in [2]. We…

In this paper we classify certain special ruled surfaces in $\R^3$ under the general theorem of characterization of constant angle surfaces. We study the tangent developable and conical surfaces from the point of view the constant angle…
