In this paper we characterize concircular helices in $R^3$ by means of a differential equation involving their curvature and torsion. We find a full description of concircular surfaces in $R^3$ as a special family of ruled surfaces, and we…
In this paper we define and construct a new class of algebraic surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space generated by a curve and a congruence of circles. We study their properties and visualize them with the program Mathematica.
We introduce an axiomatic theory of spherical diagrams as a tool to study certain combinatorial properties of polyhedra in $\mathbb R^3$, which are of central interest in the context of Art Gallery problems for polyhedra and other…
We introduce cosymplectic circles and cosymplectic spheres, which are the analogues in the cosymplectic setting of contact circles and contact spheres. We provide a complete classification of compact 3-manifolds that admit a cosymplectic…
We explain in some detail the geometric structure of spheres in any dimension. Our approach may be helpful for other homogeneous spaces (with other signatures) such as the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. We apply the procedure to the…
The squircle is an intermediate shape between the square and the circle. In this paper, we examine and discuss equations for different types of squircles. We then build upon these 2D shapes to come-up with various 3D surfaces based on…
We introduce a particular family of two-dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb R^4$ which generalize the classical Dini surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$.
This paper analyses the convergence and degeneration of sequences of metrics on a 3-manifold, and relations of such with Thurston's geometrization conjecture. The sequences are minimizing sequences for a certain (optimal) scalar-curvature…
We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…
It is shown that analytic conformal submersions of $S^3$ are given by intersections of (not necessary closed) complex surfaces with a quadratic real hyper-surface in $\mathbb{C}P^3.$ A new description of the space of circles in the 3-sphere…
We study some properties of a triad of circles associated with a triangle. Each circle is inside the triangle, tangent to two sides of the triangle, and externally tangent to the circle on the third side as diameter. In particular, we find…
By considering a spatial curve in a Euclidean space, we use its components, together with attaining a cyclic matrix, to show that this matrix is homothetic too and is in correspondence with a homothetic motion. Furthermore, if the curve…
Formulas about the side lengths, diagonal lengths or radius of the circumcircle of a cyclic polygon in Euclidean geometry, hyperbolic geometry or spherical geometry can be unified.
Tractrices of planar curves, in particular, a family of tractrices of a circle, are considered. Some new observations (including arc-length parametrization, Chezaro equation) and corrected reference informations are provided. The article is…
In this paper, we find a full description of concircular hypersurfaces in space forms as a special family of ruled hypersurfaces. We also characterize concircular helices in 3-dimensional space forms by means of a differential equation…
We present simple models of trajectories in space, both in 2D and in 3D. The first examples, which model bicircular moves in the same direction, are classical curves (epicycloids, etc.). Then, we explore bicircular moves in reverse…
We study generalization of median triangles on the plane with two complex parameters. By specialization of the parameters, we produce periodical motion of a triangle whose vertices trace each other on a common closed orbit.
In this paper we consider the spherical slant helices in $R^3$. More- over, we show how could be obtained to a spherical slant helix and we give some spherical slant helix examples in Euclidean 3-space.
In this paper, we study the inverse surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. We obtain some results relating Christoffel symbols, the normal curvatures, the shape operators and the third fundamental forms of the inverse…
We construct relatively bounded toroidal and toric models of relatively bounded fibrations over curves.
