We prove two results about transforming any convex polyhedron, modeled as a linkage L of its edges. First, if we subdivide each edge of L in half, then L can be continuously flattened into a plane. Second, if L is equilateral and we again…
We obtain several results for (iterated) planar contact manifolds in higher dimensions: (1) Iterated planar contact manifolds are not weakly symplectically semi-fillable. This generalizes a 3-dimensional result of Etnyre to a…
Vogel's universality implies a unified description of the adjoint sector of representation theory for simple Lie algebras in terms of three parameters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$, which are homogeneous coordinates of Vogel's plane. Actually this…
A bar framework (G,p) in dimension r is a graph G whose vertices are points p^1,...,p^n in R^r and whose edges are line segments between pairs of these points. Two frameworks (G,p) and (G,q) are equivalent if each edge of (G,p) has the same…
Categorical universal algebra can be developed either using Lawvere theories (single-sorted finite product theories) or using monads, and the category of Lawvere theories is equivalent to the category of finitary monads on Set. We show how…
We extend linkage unfolding results from the well-studied case of polygonal linkages to the more general case of linkages of polygons. More precisely, we consider chains of nonoverlapping rigid planar shapes (Jordan regions) that are hinged…
Results obtained by us are overviewed from a general set up. The universal $R$-matrix is exploited to obtain various important relations and structures involved in quantum group algebra, which are used subsequently for generating different…
According to Euler's relation any polytope P has as many faces of even dimension as it has faces of odd dimension. As a generalization of this fact one can compare the number of faces whose dimension is congruent to i modulo m with the…
The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for…
Eberhard-type theorems are statements about the realizability of a polytope (or more general polyhedral maps) given the valency of its vertices and sizes of its polygonal faces up to a linear linear degree of freedom. We present new…
We prove the following "linkage" theorem: two p-regular graphs of the same genus can be obtained from one another by a finite alternating sequence of one-edge-contractions; moreover this preserves 3-edge-connectivity. We use the linkage…
We construct compact polyhedra with $m$-gonal faces whose links are generalized 3-gons. It gives examples of cocompact hyperbolic bildings of type $P(m,3)$. For $m=3$ we get compact spaces covered by Euclidean buildings of type $A_2$.
We consider sufficient conditions which guarantee that a planar embedding has a unique fixed point. We study sufficient conditions which imply the appearing of a globally attracting fixed point for such an embedding.
We demonstrate that the melting curves of various model systems of interacting particles collapse to (or are located very close to) a universal master curve on a plane of appropriately chosen scaled variables. The physics behind this…
In this paper we establish a connection between the loop space homology of the generalization of wedge defined by a simplicial complex K (so called polyhedral product) and the homology of certain diagonal arrangements associated with K. We…
We show that one can construct two equivalent gauge theories from a linking theory and give a general construction principle for linking theories which we use to construct a linking theory that proves the equivalence of General Relativity…
We prove a generalization of a result of Peres and Schlag on the dimensions of certain exceptional sets of projections and then apply it to a geometric problem.
A point set $M$ in Euclidean plane is called an integral point set in semi-general position if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ does not contain collinear triples. We improve the lower bound for diameter…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
We study bilinear embedding models for the task of multi-relational link prediction and knowledge graph completion. Bilinear models belong to the most basic models for this task, they are comparably efficient to train and use, and they can…
