An isoparametric family in the unit sphere consists of parallel isoparametric hypersurfaces and their two focal submanifolds. The present paper has two parts. The first part investigates topology of the isoparametric families, namely the…

We study cones and cylinders with a 1-parametric isometric deformation carrying at least two planar curves, which remain planar during this continuous flexion and are located in non-parallel planes. We investigate this geometric/kinematic…

We are introducing a general framework for the construction of polyhedra and simplicial comlexes that are {\em bifoldable}, i.e. foldable into two two different planes. This vastly generalizes Origami folds known as the Miura pattern, the…

In this paper we produce noncommutative algebras derived equivalent to deformations of schemes with tilting bundles. We do this in two settings, first proving that a tilting bundle on a scheme lifts to a tilting bundle on an infinitesimal…

Recently, researchers have proposed several carpet cloaking designs that are able to hide a real object under a bump in a way that it is perceived as a flat ground plane. Here, we present a method to design two-dimensional isotropic carpet…

Polyominoes have been the focus of many recreational and research investigations. In this article, the authors investigate whether a paper cutout of a polyomino can be folded to produce a second polyomino in the same shape as the original,…

A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…

Two positive scalar curvature metrics $g_0$, $g_1$ on a manifold $M$ are psc-isotopic if they are homotopic through metrics of positive scalar curvature. It is well known that if two metrics $g_0$, $g_1$ of positive scalar curvature on a…

The work is devoted to the search for explicit isometric embeddings of a metric corresponding to the collapse of spherically symmetric matter with the formation of a black hole. Two approaches are considered: in the first, the embedding is…

We study affine maps between affine manifolds. Even when the fibers are compact and diffeomorphic, two of them can inherit different affine structures from the source space. This leads to a fixed linear holonomy deformation theory of the…

Biconformal deformations take place in the presence of a conformal foliation, deforming by different factors tangent to and orthogonal to the foliation. Four-manifolds endowed with a conformal foliation by surfaces present a natural context…

Transformations between group coordinates of three--dimensional conformal sigma models in the flat background and their flat, i.e. Riemannian coordinates enable to find general dilaton fields for three-dimensional flat sigma models. By the…

We find and describe unexpected isomorphisms between two very different objects associated to hypersurface singularities. One object is the Milnor algebra of a function, while the other object associated to a singularity is the local ring…

We define bicolored tilings as a disk with a collection of smooth curves with a coloring map on the tiles that these curves delimit. Using two transformations, we define an equivalence on tilings. We then define the Scott map which creates…

Random operators constitute fundamental building blocks of models of complex systems yet are far from fully understood. Here, we explain an asymmetry emerging upon repeating identical isotropic (uniformly random) operations. Specifically,…

We provide conditions under which an isometric immersion of a (warped) product of manifolds into a space form must be a (warped) product of isometric immersions.

We apply the notion of 2-extensions of algebras to the deformation theory of algebras. After standard results on butterflies between 2-extensions, we use this (2, 0)-category to give three perspectives on the deformation theory of algebras.…

In this paper, we study formal deformations of Poisson structures, especially for three families of Poisson varieties in dimensions two and three. For these families of Poisson structures, using an explicit basis of the second Poisson…

Isogenies, the mappings of elliptic curves, have become a useful tool in cryptology. These mathematical objects have been proposed for use in computing pairings, constructing hash functions and random number generators, and analyzing the…

Let $Covering$ be the category of the category of fuzzy coverings, and $Partition$, the category of fuzzy partitions. We geometrically construct an isomorphism of categories between $Partition$ and a full subcategory of $Covering$, which…
