The paper reports the progress with the classical problem, posed by Blaschke and Bol in 1938. We present new examples and new classifications of natural classes of hexagonal circular 3-webs. The main results is the classification of…
We give several new examples of hexagonal 3-webs of circles in the plane and give a survey on such webs.
A topologically minimal surface may be isotoped into a normal form with respect to a fixed triangulation. If the intersection with each tetrahedron is simply connected, then the pieces of this normal form are triangles, quadrilaterals, and…
Let W be a planar 3-web defined on a neighborhood of a point M. We call "symmetry of W around M" any local diffeomorphism which fixes M and maps each foliation of W to a (not necessarily the same) foliation of W. We say that it is a simple…
Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This last one classifies the case of $a^3b$-quadrilaterals with some irrational angle: there are a sequence of…
We define the polar curves and the polar family associated to a projective web and obtain some results about the geometry of the generic element of this family. We also deal with the particular case of foliations and prove the constancy of…
Motivated by the relation between (twisted) K3 surfaces and special cubic fourfolds, we construct moduli spaces of polarized twisted K3 surfaces of any fixed degree and order. We do this by mimicking the construction of the moduli space of…
We consider families of confocal conics and two pencils of Apollonian circles having the same foci. We will show that these families of curves generate trivial 3-webs and find the exact formulas describing them.
We completely classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals. As part of the classification, we also present a modern version of the classification of edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles.…
A 2-web in the plane is given by two everywhere transverse 1-foliations. In this paper we introduce the study of singular 2-webs, given by any two foliations, which may be tangent in some points. We show that such two foliations are tangent…
In this paper we provide a characterization for a class of convex curves on the 3-sphere. More precisely, using a theorem that decomposes a locally convex curve on the 3-sphere as a pair of curves on the 2-sphere, one of which is locally…
We provide a complete classification of hexagonal singular 3-web germs in the complex plane, satisfying the following two conditions: 1) the Chern connection remains holomorphic at the singular point, 2) the web admits at least one…
The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals of Type $a^2bc$ are classified as $3$ classes: a sequence of two-parameter families of $2$-layer earth map tilings with $2n$ $(n\ge3)$ tiles, a one-parameter family of…
We classify the topological types of surfaces in the 3-dimensional unit sphere that contain both a great and a small circle through each point. In particular, these surfaces are homeomorphic to one of five normal forms and are either the…
We construct flat 3-webs via semi-simple geometric Frobenius manifolds of dimension three and give geometric interpretation of the Chern connection of the web. These webs turned out to be biholomorphic to the characteristic webs on the…
The boundary of the convex hull of a compact algebraic curve in real 3-space defines a real algebraic surface. For general curves, that boundary surface is reducible, consisting of tritangent planes and a scroll of stationary bisecants. We…
The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent polygons, where all edges are straight, have been completely classified. We classify the curvilinear version of the similar triangular tilings, where the edges may not be straight, and…
A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…
Convex hexagons that can tile the plane have been classified into three types. For the generic cases (not necessarily convex) of the three types and two other special cases, we classify tilings of the plane under the assumption that all…
In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider the orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. It is well known that the lines can be partitioned into classes every of which is a union of line orbits. All types…
