The "square peg problem" or "inscribed square problem" of Toeplitz asks if every simple closed curve in the plane inscribes a (non-degenerate) square, in the sense that all four vertices of that square lie on the curve. By a variety of…
It is proven that for any topological or analytical types of isolated singular points of plane curves, there exists a non-real irreducible plane algebraic curve of degree $d$ which goes through $d^2$ real distinct points and has imaginary…
Surfaces and curves play an important role in geometric design. In recent years, problem of finding a surface passing through a given curve has attracted much interest. In the present paper, we propose a new method to construct a surface…
We prove that for every smooth Jordan curve $\gamma$, if $X$ is the set of all $r \in [0,1]$ so that there is an inscribed rectangle in $\gamma$ of aspect ratio $\tan(r\cdot \pi/4)$, then the Lebesgue measure of $X$ is at least $1/3$. To do…
We provide a strengthening of Jordan separation, to the setting of maps from a compact topological space X into a sphere, where the source space X is not necessarily a codimension one sphere, and the map is not necessarily injective.
The w-asymmetry induced by transfinite partitions makes it impossible for Jordan curves to have an infinite length.
A "shadow" of a subset $S$ of Euclidean space is an orthogonal projection of $S$ into one of the coordinate hyperplanes. In this paper we show that it is not possible for all three shadows of a cycle (i.e., a simple closed curve) in…
The nontrivial subspaces with primitive coproducts are found in the deformed universal enveloping algebras. They can form carrier spaces for additional Jordanian twists. The latter can be used to construct sequences of twists for algebras…
A square matrix $A$ has the usual Jordan canonical form that describes the structure of $A$ via eigenvalues and the corresponding Jordan blocks. If $A$ is a linear relation in a finite-dimensional linear space ${\mathfrak H}$ (i.e., $A$ is…
If two closed Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, then it is called a {\em touching point}. All other intersection points are called {\em crossing points}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for…
A planar graph is inscribable if it is combinatorial equivalent to the skeleton of a polyhedra which is inscribed in a sphere. For an inscribable graph, in its combinatorial equivalent class, if we could always find polyhedra inscribed in…
Let $W$ be a quasiprojective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Assume that $W$ is birational to a product of a smooth projective variety $A$ and the projective line. We prove that if $A$ contains no rational…
Suppose that $\gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ is a Jordan curve of diameter $2R$ which encloses a region of area $A$. We prove that there exists a subset $I \subset (0,\pi)$ of measure at least $A/R^2$ such that if $\theta \in I$, then there…
This paper presents a formalized proof of a discrete form of the Jordan Curve Theorem. It is based on a hypermap model of planar subdivisions, formal specifications and proofs assisted by the Coq system. Fundamental properties are proven by…
Jordan analytic curves which are invariant under rational functions are studied
The article associates two fundamental lattice constructions with each regular unital real ordered Banach space (function system). These are used to establish certain results in the theory of operator algebras, specifically relating the…
We prove that a Jordan $\calc^1$-curve in the plane contains any non-flat triangle up to translation and homothety with positive ratio. This is false if the curve is not $C^1$. The proof uses a bit configuration spaces, differential and…
We study convex polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^3$ with all their vertices on a sphere. We do not require, in particular, that the polyhedra lie in the interior of the sphere, hence the term "weakly inscribed". Such polyhedra can be…
For a smooth projective curve, the cycles of subordinate or, more generally, secant divisors to a given linear series are among some of the most studied objects in classical enumerative geometry. We consider the intersection of two such…
Jordan geometries are defined as spaces equipped with point reflections depending on triples of points, exchanging two of the points and fixing the third. In a similar way, symmetric spaces have been defined by Loos (Symmetric Spaces I,…
