This article focuses on the problem of analytically determining the optimal placement of five points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ so that the surface area of the convex hull of the points is maximized. It is shown that the optimal…
This second part on polygons in the hyperbolic plane is based on the first part which deals with uniqueness and existence of cocyclic polygons with prescribed sidelengths. The topic here is the maximum question for the area of these…
We count the conjugacy classes of maximal tori in the groups of symplectomorphisms of S^2 \times S^2 and of the blow-up of CP^2 at a point.
In real space forms, Fraser and Schoen proved that a free-boundary minimal disk in a geodesic ball is totally geodesic. In this note, we consider free-boundary minimal surfaces $\Sigma$ (of any genus) in geodesic balls of complex space…
Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…
Deciding realizability of a given polyhedral map on a (compact, connected) surface belongs to the hard problems in discrete geometry, from the theoretical, the algorithmic, and the practical point of view. In this paper, we present a…
The symmetries of surfaces which can be embedded into the symmetries of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ are easier to feel by human's intuition. We give the maximum order of finite group actions on $(\mathbb{R}^3, \Sigma)$…
The squeezing of soft solids, the constrained growth of biological tissues, and the swelling of soft elastic solids such as gels can generate large compressive stresses at their surfaces. This causes the otherwise smooth surface of such a…
We consider the the intersections of the complex nodal set of the analytic continuation of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a real analytic surface with the complexification of a geodesic. We prove that if the geodesic flow is ergodic…
Let X be a closed oriented Riemann surface of genus > 1 of constant negative curvature -1. A surface containing a disk of maximal radius is an optimal surface. This paper gives exact formulae for the number of optimal surfaces of genus > 3…
In this article, we construct a new simplicial complex for infinite-type surfaces, which we call the grand arc graph. We show that if the end space of a surface has at least three different self-similar equivalence classes of maximal ends,…
We apply a study of orders in quaternion algebras, to the differential geometry of Riemann surfaces. The least length of a closed geodesic on a hyperbolic surface is called its systole, and denoted syspi_1. P. Buser and P. Sarnak…
Over the projective plane and at most two-step blowups of Hirzebruch surfaces, where there are strong full exceptional sequences of line bundles, we obtain foundational results about Gaeta resolutions of coherent sheaves by these line…
The paper discusses the classification of surfaces of degree 10 and sectional genus 9 and 10. The surfaces of degree at most 9 are described through classical work dating from the last century up to recent years, while surfaces of degree 10…
A translation surface is a surface formed by identifying edges of a collection of polygons in the complex plane that are parallel and of equal length using only translations. We determined that the same circle packing can be realized on…
We study the geometry of hyperbolic cone surfaces, possibly with cusps or geodesic boundaries. We prove that any hyperbolic cone structure on a surface of non-exceptional type is determined up to isotopy by the geodesic lengths of a finite…
We obtain the exact values of the systoles of these hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ with cyclic symmetries of the maximum order and the next maximum order. Precisely: for genus $g$ hyperbolic surface with order $4g+2$ cyclic symmetry, the…
We prove several boundedness statements for geometrically integral normal del Pezzo surfaces $X$ over arbitrary fields. We give an explicit sharp bound on the irregularity if $X$ is canonical or regular. In particular, we show that wild…
In this paper we describe the intersection between the balls of maximal symplectic packings of $\P^2$. This analysis shows the existence of singular points for maximal packings of $\P^2$ by more than three equal balls. It also yields a…
We give an explicit construction for the $4$-dimensional family of Schoen surfaces by computing equations for their canonical images, which are $40$-nodal complete intersections of a quadric and the Igusa quartic in $\mathbb P^4$. We then…
