The Pythagorean Theorem has been proved in hundreds of ways, yet it inspires fresh insights through geometry and trigonometry. In this paper, we offer a new proof based on three circles that circumscribe the sides of a right triangle.…
In the present work, a theoretical framework focussing on local geometric deformations is introduced in order to cope with the problem of how to join spacetimes with different geometries and physical properties. Using this framework, it is…
Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be an irreducible quartic with two nodes and one cusp as its singularities and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a conic such that the intersection multiplicity at each point of $\mathcal{C} \cap \mathcal{Q}$ is even and $\mathcal{C}…
We present an algebraic study of the projection of plane curves and twisted cubics in space onto multiple images of pinhole cameras. The Zariski closure of the image of the projection of conics is a conic multiview varieties. Extending…
This monograph is centred at the intersection of three mathematical topics, that are theoretical in nature, yet with motivations and relevance deep rooted in applications: the linear inverse problems on abstract, in general…
Chasles' Quadrilateral Theorem is a classical statement about four tangents to a conic that simultaneously circumscribe a circle. In its various formulations, it relates the concurrence of certain lines to the existence of confocal conics…
The 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebra is the homogeneous coordinate ring of a noncommutative analogue of projective 3-space. The degree-two component of the algebra contains a 2-dimensional subspace of central elements. The zero loci of those…
The goal of this paper is to study two basic problems of hyperbolic geometry. The first problem is to compare the hyperbolic and Euclidean distances. The second problem is to find hyperbolic counterparts of some basic geometric…
We provide a new proof of the elementary geometric theorem on the existence and uniqueness of cyclic polygons with prescribed side lengths. The proof is based on a variational principle involving the central angles of the polygon as…
In this note, we will explain the connection between the Seven Circles Theorem and hyperbolic geometry, then prove a stronger result about hyperbolic geometry hexagons which implies the Seven Circles Theorem as a special case.
It is shown here how prior estimates on the local shape of the universe can be used to reduce, to a small region, the full parameter space for the search of circles in the sky. This is the first step towards the development of efficient…
The Apollonius problem asks for a sphere tangent to $n+1$ given spheres or hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This problem has been widely studied for an isolated configuration of $n+1$ spheres. In this paper, we study relations among the…
While geometry with transcendental curves, like the Quadratrix of Hippias and the Spiral of Archimedes, played a significant role in our modern developments of geometry and algebra. The investigation has fallen off in the modern era despite…
We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…
We provide topological obstructions to the existence of orbit cylinders of symmetric orbits, for mechanical systems preserved by antisymplectic involutions (e.g. the restricted three-body problem). Such cylinders induce continuous paths…
We present a Melnikov type approach for establishing transversal intersections of stable/unstable manifolds of perturbed normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We do not need to know the explicit formulas for the homoclinic orbits prior…
In the projective plane over a finite field of characteristic not equal to 2, we compute the probability that a randomly selected pair of distinct conics $(\mathscr{A},\mathscr{B})$, with $\mathscr{A}$ smooth or singular and $\mathscr{B}$…
Counting integer points on the Markoff cubic is closely related to questions in hyperbolic geometry. In a previous work with Igor Rivin we investigated the regularity of the geodesic length function for a punctured torus. Here we extend…
We formulate interacting antisymmetric tensor gauge theory in a configuration space consisting of a pair of dual field strengths which has a natural symplectic structure. The field equations are formulated as the intersection of a pair of…
