In this article, we introduce special domains and discuss the geometry of these domains, which includes showing that every pseudoconvex truncated tube domain is a special domain. Next, we prove a theorem for the envelope of special domains…

H. Hotelling proved that in the n-dimensional Euclidean or spherical space, the volume of a tube of small radius about a curve depends only on the length of the curve and the radius. A. Gray and L. Vanhecke extended Hotelling's theorem to…

We prove the filling area conjecture in the hyperelliptic case. In particular, we establish the conjecture for all genus 1 fillings of the circle, extending P. Pu's result in genus 0. We translate the problem into a question about closed…

Let $\mbox{$\cal V$} \subseteq {\mathbb F}^n$ be a finite set of points in an affine space. A finite set of affine hyperplanes $\{H_1, \ldots ,H_m\}$ is said to be an almost cover of $\mbox{$\cal V$}$ and $\mathbf{v}$, if their union…

In the 1970s, the collar theorem was proven, establishing the existence of uniform tubular neighborhoods of simple closed geodesics on compact surfaces, whose widths depend only on the lengths of the geodesics and the lower bound of the…

The aim of this article is to show that p-adic geometry of modular curves is useful in the study of p-adic properties of traces of singular moduli. In order to do so, we partly answer a question by Ono. As our goal is just to illustrate how…

To every real analytic Riemannian manifold M there is associated a complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the real tangent bundle of M. This structure can be uniquely specified in several ways, and is referred to as a…

In the context of Dirichlet type spaces on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^d$, also known as Hardy-Sobolev or Besov-Sobolev spaces, we compare two notions of smallness for compact subsets of the unit sphere. We show that the functional…

Is it true that a convex body $K$ being complete and reduced with respect to some gauge body $C$ is necessarily of constant width, that is, satisfies $K-K=\rho(C-C)$ for some $\rho>0$? We prove this implication for several cases including…

This paper investigates the global properties of a class of spherically symmetric spacetimes. The class contains the maximal development of asymptotically flat spherically symmetric initial data for a wide variety of coupled Einstein-matter…

Define an outer measure on R^n by taking the infimum, over all covers of the set by tubes, of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the tubes. We show that the only measurable sets for this outer measure are its null sets and their…

We discuss a three-dimensional soft quantum waveguide, in other words, Schr\"odinger operator in $\R^3$ with an attractive potential supported by an infinite tube and keeping its transverse profile fixed. We show that if the tube is…

For all $\kappa > 0$, we show that the support of SLE$_\kappa$ curves is the closure in the sup-norm of the set of Loewner curves driven by nice (e.g. smooth) functions. It follows that the support is the closure of the set of simple curves…

In his work on singularities, expanders and topology of maps, Gromov showed, using isoperimetric inequalities in graded algebras, that every real valued map on the $n$-torus admits a fibre whose homological size is bounded below by some…

It is broadly known that any parallelepiped tiles space by translating copies of itself along its edges. In earlier work relating to higher-dimensional sandpile groups, the second author discovered a novel construction which fragments the…

Exceptional sequences of line bundles on a smooth projective toric surface are automatically full when they can be constructed via augmentation. By using spherical twists, we give examples that there are also exceptional sequences which can…

We examine properties of achievement sets of series in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We show several examples of unusual sets of subsums on the plane. We prove that we can obtain any set of P-sums as a cut of an achievement set in $\mathbb{R}^2.$ We…

We prove a "gluing" theorem for monotone homotopies; a monotone homotopy is a homotopy through simple contractible closed curves which themselves are pairwise disjoint. We show that two monotone homotopies which have appropriate overlap can…

We show that a compact complex surface which fibers smoothly over a curve of genus >1 with fibers of genus >1 fibers holomorphically. We deduce an improvement of a result in [D Kotschick, Math. Research Letters, 5 (1998) 227-234], and a…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…
