In the article, we exhibit a series of new examples of rigid plane curves, that is, curves, whose collection of singularities determines them almost uniquely up to a projective transformation of the plane.
We provide a new proof of the classical result that any closed rectifiable Jordan curve Gamma in space being piecewise of class C^2 bounds at least one immersed minimal surface of disc-type, under the additional assumption that the total…
We prove explicit bounds on the number of lattice points on or near a convex curve in terms of geometric invariants such as length, curvature, and affine arclength. In several of our results we obtain the best possible constants. Our…
It is known that the infimum of the sectional curvatures (on the regular part) of orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres in bounded above by $4$. We show that the infimum is $1$ for "most" actions, and determine the cases in…
Given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with smooth boundary, we consider the evolution equation by $Q$-curvature in the interior keeping the $T$-curvature and the mean curvature to be zero and the evolution…
Consider a curve $\Gamma$ in a domain $D$ in the plane $\boldsymbol R^2$. Thinking of $D$ as a piece of paper, one can make a curved folding $P$ in the Euclidean space $\boldsymbol R^3$. The singular set $C$ of $P$ as a space curve is…
A plane curve $C$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called plane-filling if $C$ contains every $\mathbb{F}_q$-point of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Homma and Kim, building on the work of Tallini, proved that the minimum degree of a smooth…
The detour between two points u and v (on edges or vertices) of an embedded planar graph whose edges are curves is the ratio between the shortest path in in the graph between u and v and their Euclidean distance. The maximum detour over all…
For three dimensional complete Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature no less than one, we obtain the sharp upper bound of complete stable minimal surfaces' diameter.
It is well known that among all closed bounded curves in the plane with the given perimeter, the circle encloses the maximum area. There are many proofs in the literature. In this article we have given a new proof using some ideas of Demar.
Let $X$ be a convex curve in the plane (say, the unit circle), and let $\mathcal S$ be a family of planar convex bodies, such that every two of them meet at a point of $X$. Then $\mathcal S$ has a transversal $N\subset\mathbb R^2$ of size…
See comment above.
We consider a system of three surfaces, graphs over a bounded domain in ${\mathbb R}^2$, intersecting along a time-dependent curve and moving by mean curvature while preserving the pairwise angles at the curve of intersection (equal to…
Given a smooth simply connected planar domain, the area is bounded away from zero in terms of the maximal curvature alone. We show that in higher dimensions this is not true, and for a given maximal mean curvature we provide smooth…
We study high codimension mean curvature flow of a submanifold $\mathcal{M}^n$ of dimension $n$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ subject to the quadratic curvature condition $ |A|^{2}\leq c_n |H|^{2}, c _n = \min\{ \frac{4}{3n} ,…
We give an explicit formula for the exponents (i.e. the spectra up to the shift by one) of an irreducible plane curve singularity in terms of Puiseux pairs. As an application we prove in this case Hertling's conjecture that the variance…
In this paper we use a gradient flow to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of geodesic curvature in the $L^2$ sense. Given a smooth initial curve we show that the solution to the flow exists for all time and,…
For two disjoint rectifiable star-shaped Jordan curves (including round circles) in the asymptotic boundary of hyperbolic 3-space, if the distance (see Definition 1.8) between these two Jordan curves are bounded from above by some constant,…
In this paper, we prove that for any closed 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with trivial first homology group, if the Ricci curvature $|Ric|\leq3$, the diameter $diam(M)\leq D$ and the volume $vol(M)>v>0$, then the area of a smallest…
We produce a family of bodies in $\mathbb R^3$ parameterized by $\varepsilon > 0$, each bounded by a smooth topological sphere with principal curvatures in $[-1, 1]$, and having volume arbitrarily close to $ 16 - 4\sqrt 3 + \left(10 \sqrt 3…
