We study the prequantization of quasi-presymplectic groupoids and their Hamiltonian spaces using $S^1$-gerbes. We give a geometric description of the integrality condition. As an application, we study the prequantization of the…
We give an explicit estimate of the area of a closed surface by the diameter and a lower bound of curvature. This is better than Calabi-Cao's estimate for a nonnegatively curved two-sphere.
We give an explicit construction of a deformation quantization of the algebra of functions on a Poisson manifolds, based on Kontsevich's local formula. The deformed algebra of functions is realized as the algebra of horizontal sections of a…

Due to its fractal nature, much about the area of the Mandelbrot set $M$ remains to be understood. While a series formula has been derived by Ewing and Schober to calculate the area of $M$ by considering its complement inside the Riemann…
An area-preserving parameterization is a bijective mapping that maps a surface onto a specified domain and preserves the local area. This paper formulates the computation of disk area-preserving parameterization as an authalic energy…
Given a combinatorial triangulation of an $n$-gon, we study (a) the space of all possible drawings in the plane such the edges are straight line segments and the boundary has a fixed shape, and (b) the algebraic variety of possibilities for…

We show that every bounded hyperconvex Reinhardt domain can be approximated by special polynomial polyhedra defined by homogeneous polynomial mappings. This is achieved by means of approximation of the pluricomplex Green function of the…
Pythagoras' theorem, the area of a triangle as one half the base times the height, and Heron's formula are amongst the most important and useful results of ancient Greek geometry. Here we look at all three in a new and improved light, using…
Let \Sigma be a k-dimensional minimal surface in the unit ball B^n which meets the unit sphere orthogonally. We show that the area of \Sigma is bounded from below by the volume of the unit ball in R^k. This answers a question posed by R.…

We study polygon spaces arising from planar configurations of necklaces with some of the beads fixed and some of the beads sliding freely. These spaces include configuration spaces of flexible polygons and some other natural polygon spaces.…
We describe all families of star-shaped n-polygons in the Euclidean plane with prescribed perimeter and area ; they are leaves of a foliation F on the space of star-shaped n-polygons. By the way, we study some geometric properties of convex…
We compute the Green's function for the Hodge Laplacian on the symmetric spaces M\times\Sigma, where M is a simply connected n-dimensional Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold of constant curvature and \Sigma is a simply connected Riemannian…

We obtain a priori estimates for solutions to the prescribed scalar curvature equation on $S^3$. The usual non-degeneracy assumption on the curvature function is replaced by a new condition, which is necessary and sufficient for the…
We develop a superfield formulation of gauge and matter field theories on a two-dimensional sphere with rigid N=(2,2) as well as extended supersymmetry. The construction is based on a supercoset SU(2|1)/[U(1) x U(1)] containing $S^2$ as the…
