Taking up the challenge McConnell laid down at the end of his proof of the law of cosines, we give a completely visual dissection proof of this theorem, which applies to any triangle. In order to avoid the trigonometric expressions of…

Plato is well-known in mathematics for the eponymous foundational philosophy Platonism based on ideal objects. Plato's allegory of the cave provides a powerful visual illustration of the idea that we only have access to shadows or…

This paper is concerned with a structural analysis of euclidean field theories on the euclidean sphere. In the first section we give proposal for axioms for a euclidean field theory on a sphere in terms of C*-algebras. Then, in the second…

We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative ``Bailey chain'' concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary $A_{\ell}$ or symplectic $C_{\ell}$…

It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

Historically, there have been many attempts to produce an appropriate mathematical formalism for modeling the nature of physical space, such as Euclid's geometry, Descartes' system of Cartesian coordinates, the Argand plane, Hamilton's…

In a series of four papers we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(\frac12+\alpha)n$…

Employing the ideas of non-linear preconditioning and testing of the classical proximal point method, we formalise common arguments in convergence rate and convergence proofs of optimisation methods to the verification of a simple…

For a given ring (domain) in $\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n$ we discuss whether its boundary components can be separated by an annular ring with modulus nearly equal to that of the given ring. In particular, we show that, for all $n\ge 3\,,$ the…

We introduce a new seminorm of $n$-tuple operators, which generalizes the $A$-Euclidean operator radius of $n$-tuple bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space. We introduce and study basic properties of this seminorm. As an…

In this article we develop counterexamples to the Hasse principle using only techniques from undergraduate number theory and algebra. By keeping the technical prerequisites to a minimum, we hope to provide a path for nonspecialists to this…

An Euler tour of a hypergraph is a closed walk that traverses every edge exactly once; if a hypergraph admits such a walk, then it is called eulerian. Although this notion is one of the progenitors of graph theory --- dating back to the…

A matrix formalism is proposed for computations based on Picard--Lefschetz theory in a 2D case. The formalism is essentially equivalent to the computation of the intersection indices necessary for the Picard--Lefschetz formula and enables…

Classical (maximal) superintegrable systems in $n$ dimensions are Hamiltonian systems with $2n-1$ independent constants of the motion, globally defined, the maximum number possible. They are very special because they can be solved…

This paper discusses a new family of bounds for use in similarity search, related to those used in metric indexing, but based on Ptolemy's inequality, rather than the metric axioms. Ptolemy's inequality holds for the well-known Euclidean…

The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of geometry, from a point of view which complements Klein's Erlangen program. The emphasis is on extending the classical Euclidean geometry to the finite case, but it goes beyond that. After…
