We prove the 2-torus $\mathbb T$, an abelian linear algebraic group, is a fine moduli space of labeled, oriented, possibly-degenerate inscribable similarity classes of triangles, where a triangle is {\it inscribable} if it can be inscribed…
We study normal compact K\"ahler spaces whose rational cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a complex torus. We call them rational cohomology tori. We classify, up to dimension three, those with rational singularities. We then give…
We construct isospectral pairs of Riemannian metrics on S^5 and on B^6, thus lowering by three the dimension of spheres and balls on which such metrics have been constructed previously (S^{n\ge 8} and B^{n\ge 9}). We also construct…
If F is a finitely generated free group and \phi is an automorphism of F then the mapping torus of \phi admits a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. This is the third and final paper in a series proving this theorem. The first two were…
A one-dimensional discrete Stark Hamiltonian with a continuous electric field is constructed by extension theory methods. In absence of the impurities the model is proved to be exactly solvable, the spectrum is shown to be simple,…
A classification of discrete polymatroids whose independence polytopes are reflexive will be presented.
Let $A$ be a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected). We say that $A$ is spectral if the space $L^2(A)$ has an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. A result due to Kolountzakis and Papadimitrakis…
For a field $\ef$, the discrete topological vector spaces over $\ \ef$ are essentially of the form $\ef^{\alpha}$ where $\alpha$ is an ordinal. With additional appropriate properties, they are isomorphic to $\ef^{(\beta)}$ where $\beta$ is…
Accretion flows with pressure gradients permit the existence of standing waves which may be responsible for observed quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO's) in X-ray binaries. We present a comprehensive treatment of the linear modes of a…
We define a suitably tame class of singular symplectic curves in 4-manifolds, namely those whose singularities are modeled on complex curve singularities. We study the corresponding symplectic isotopy problem, with a focus on rational…
We derive new relationships expressing solid spherical harmonics as series of toroidal harmonics and vice versa. The expansions include regular and irregular spherical harmonics, ring and axial toroidal harmonics of even and odd parity…
We answer Mark Kac's famous question, "can one hear the shape of a drum?" in the positive for orbifolds that are 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional lens spaces; we thus complete the answer to this question for orbifold lens spaces in all…
The goal of the paper is to develop a systematic approach to the study of (perhaps degenerate) singularities of integrable systems and their structural stability. As the main tool, we use "hidden" system-preserving torus actions near…
Concerning the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the classical notion of isospectrality assumes that two domains are related when they give rise to the same spectrum. In two dimensions, non isometric,…
The well known Liouville-Arnold theorem says that if a level surface of integrals of an integrable system is compact and connected, then it is a torus. However, in some important examples of integrable systems the topology of a level…
We extend the results of Denisov-Rakhmanov, Szego-Shohat-Nevai, and Killip-Simon from asymptotically constant orthogonal polynomials on the real line (OPRL) and unit circle (OPUC) to asymptotically periodic OPRL and OPUC. The key tool is a…
Consider a parallel plane foliation on real finite-dimensional linear vector space. It induces a foliation on the torus obtained by factorization of the space by the integer lattice (let us denote the latter foliation by F). Let g be…
We investigate the superintegrability of rigid body rotors coupled to planar systems. In particular, we study the isotropic harmonic oscillator in two dimensions, with its (central) force acting on the rotor's center of mass constrained to…
We show that a topometric space $X$ is topometrically isomorphic to a type space of some continuous first-order theory if and only if $X$ is compact and has an open metric (i.e., satisfies that $\{p : d(p,U) < \varepsilon\}$ is open for…
This article deals with the construction of surfaces that are suitable for representing pentachords or 5-pitch segments that are in the same $T/I$ class. It is a generalization of the well known \"Ottingen-Riemann torus for triads of…
