A congruence is a surface in the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(1,\mathbb{P}^3)$ of lines in projective $3$-space. To a space curve $C$, we associate the Chow hypersurface in $\mathrm{Gr}(1,\mathbb{P}^3)$ consisting of all lines which intersect…
The space of topological decompositions into triangulations of a surface has a natural graph structure where two triangulations share an edge if they are related by a so-called flip. This space is a sort of combinatorial Teichm\"uller space…
We derive two types of linearity conditions for mapping class groups of orientable surfaces: one for once-punctured surface, and the other for closed surface, respectively. For the once-punctured case, the condition is described in terms of…
This paper proves an elementary topological fact about closed curves on surfaces, namely that by carefully smoothing an intersection point, one can reduce self-intersection by exactly $1$. This immediately implies a positive answer to a…
We give a classification of toric log del Pezzo surfaces with two or three singular points.
In this paper, we study edge-transitive surfaces, i.e. triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds whose automorphism groups act transitively on the edges of these triangulated surfaces. We show that there exist four types of edge-transitive…
The topology of the intersection of three quadrics in Euclidean 6-space is studied using Kollar results. This needs an existence of a line without real points in the complex projectivisation of quadrics. We establish the existence of such a…
In this paper, based on the theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space which generalizes the theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, beside other results, we will give a characterization of points on…
Let G be a finite group acting freely on a compact oriented surface S by homeomorphisms preserving the orientation. Then, there exists a G-invariant Lagrangian subspace in the first homology group of S.
Implicit locus equations in GeoGebra allow the user to do experiments with generalization of the concept of ellipses, namely with $n$-ellipses. By experimenting we obtain a geometric object that is very similar to a set of two circles.
On one hand, we study the class of graphs on surfaces, satisfying tessellation properties, with positive Forman curvature on each edge. Via medial graphs, we provide a new proof for the finiteness of the class, and give a complete…
Using elliptic fibrations with specific singular fibers, we find spheres with very negative self-intersections in elliptic surfaces and in their blow-ups.
We find all analytic surfaces in space $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that through each point of the surface one can draw two transversal circular arcs fully contained in the surface. The problem of finding such surfaces traces back to the works of…
A topologically minimal surface may be isotoped into a normal form with respect to a fixed triangulation. If the intersection with each tetrahedron is simply connected, then the pieces of this normal form are triangles, quadrilaterals, and…
We rigorously show the existence of a rotationally and centrally symmetric "lens-shaped" cluster of three surfaces, meeting at a smooth common circle, forming equal angles of 120 degrees, self-shrinking under the motion by mean curvature.
We study mapping class group orbits of homotopy and isotopy classes of curves with self-intersections. We exhibit the asymptotics of the number of such orbits of curves with a bounded number of self-intersections, as the complexity of the…
Exceptional points play a pivotal role in the topology of non-Hermitian systems, and significant advances have been made in classifying exceptional points and exploring the associated phenomena. Exceptional surfaces, which are hypersurfaces…
Let S be a set of 2n+1 points in the plane such that no three are collinear and no four are concyclic. A circle will be called point-splitting if it has 3 points of S on its circumference, n-1 points in its interior and n-1 in its exterior.…
We describe each multiple curve on the orientable surface of genus-$g$ with $n$ punctures and one boundary component by using this multiple curve's geometric intersection number with the embedded curves in this surface.
In this work we study neighborhoods of curves in surfaces with positive self-intersection that can be embeeded as a germ of neighborhood of a curve on the projective plane.
