A simple closed curve in the Euclidean plane is said to have property C_n(R) if at each point we can inscribe a unique regular $n$-gon with edges length $R$. C_2(R) is equivalent to having constant diameter. We show that smooth curves…

We show that for any two convex curves $C_1$ and $C_2$ in $\mathbb R^d$ parametrized by $[0,1]$ with opposite orientations, there exists a hyperplane $H$ with the following property: For any $t\in [0,1]$ the points $C_1(t)$ and $C_2(t)$ are…

In this paper we use a gradient flow to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of geodesic curvature in the $L^2$ sense. Given a smooth initial curve we show that the solution to the flow exists for all time and,…
We show that Caratheodory's conjecture, on umbilical points of closed convex surfaces, may be reformulated in terms of the existence of at least one umbilic in the graphs of functions f: R^2-->R whose gradient decays uniformly faster than…
We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…
We prove uniform Sobolev estimates $||u||_{L^{p'}} \leq C ||(\Delta-\alpha)u||_{L^{p}}$, where $p=2n/(n+2), p'=2n/(n-2)$, for the Laplacian $\Delta$ on non-trapping asymptotically conic manifolds of dimension $n$. Here C is independent of…
