We prove that every pointed closed convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the intersection of all the rational closed halfspaces that contain it. This generalizes a previous result by the authors for compact convex sets.
A coherent system of type (r,d,k) on a curve C is a pair (E,V) where E is a vector bundle of rank r and degree d and V is a space of sections of E of dimension k. There is a condition of stability on coherent systems that depends on a…
In this paper we show that every sufficiently large family of convex bodies in the plane has a large subfamily in convex position provided that the number of common tangents of each pair of bodies is bounded and every subfamily of size five…
A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…
In an earlier paper \cite{yu2021Finiteness}, we showed that there are finitely many stationary configurations (consisting of equilibria, rigidly translating configurations, relative equilibria and collapse configurations) in the planar…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in real three-dimensional space, no three collinear and not all co-planar. We prove that if the number of planes incident with exactly three points of $S$ is less than $Kn^2$ for some $K=o(n^{\frac{1}{7}})$…
In the analysis of three-dimensional biological microstructures such as organoids, microscopy frequently yields two-dimensional optical sections without access to their orientation. Motivated by the question of whether such random planar…
We consider arrangements of n hyperplanes of codimension one in a real projective space of dimension d. Let us denote by F the maximal possible number f of connected components of the complement in the projective space of dimension d to the…
The 2-sets convex feasibility problem aims at finding a point in the intersection of two closed convex sets $A$ and $B$ in a normed space $X$. More generally, we can consider the problem of finding (if possible) two points in $A$ and $B$,…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d \geq 2$ is a constant, and let $H_1,H_2,\ldots,H_{m+1}$ be a sequence of vertical hyperplanes that are sorted by their first coordinates, such that exactly $n/m$ points of $S$ are…
We investigate the intersection body of a convex polytope using tools from combinatorics and real algebraic geometry. In particular, we show that the intersection body of a polytope is always a semialgebraic set and provide an algorithm for…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, where $n$ is even, we consider the following question: How many plane perfect matchings can be packed into $P$? We prove that at least $\lceil\log_2{n}\rceil-2$ plane perfect matchings can be…
The order in which plane-filling curves visit points in the plane can be exploited to design efficient algorithms. Typically, the curves are useful because they preserve locality: points that are close to each other along the curve tend to…
For two non-congruent regular polygons of the same type, the method of finding the points in the plane at the equal distances to the vertices, is established. The existence of two points with this property is proved for two polygons with a…
A double-normal pair of a finite set $S$ of points from Euclidean space is a pair of points $\{p,q\}$ from $S$ such that $S$ lies in the closed strip bounded by the hyperplanes through $p$ and $q$ that are perpendicular to $pq$. A…
A systematic program is developed for analyzing and cancelling local anomalies on networks of intersecting orbifold planes in the context of M-theory. Through a delicate balance of factors, it is discovered that local anomaly matching on…
After surveying some known properties of compact convex sets in the plane, we give a two rigorous proofs of the general feeling that supporting lines can be slide-turned slowly and continuously. Targeting a wide readership, our treatment is…
We study the slices or sections of a convex polytope by affine hyperplanes. We present results on two key problems: First, we provide tight bounds on the maximum number of vertices attainable by a hyperplane slice of $d$-polytope (a sort of…
Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g$. A coherent system on $C$ is a pair $(E,V)$, where $E$ is a finite rank vector bundle on $C$ and $V$ is a linear subspace of the space of global sections of $E$. The type of a coherent system $(E,V)$ is a…
We study three-dimensional path geometries with nontrivial torsion of maximal rank. We introduce the notion of constant torsion and show that such path geometries are in one-to-one correspondence with certain cone structures modeled on…
