Knitted fabrics exemplify a broad class of architected materials capable of large deformations, enabling shape morphing, mechanical biocompatibility, and embedded multifunctionality without material damage. Although geometric nonlinearity…
We propose to imagine that every Riemannian metric on a surface is discrete at the small scale, made of curves called walls. The length of a curve is its number of wall crossings, and the area of the surface is the number of crossings of…
We study local structure of the moduli space of compact Einstein metrics with respect to the boundary conformal metric and mean curvature. In dimension three, we confirm M. Anderson's conjecture in a strong sense, showing that the map from…
Anatomical variabilities seen in longitudinal data or inter-subject data is usually described by the underlying deformation, captured by non-rigid registration of these images. Stationary Velocity Field (SVF) based non-rigid registration…
The characteristic formalism of numerical relativity is based on a system of coordinates aligned with outgoing null cones. While these coordinates were designed for studying gravitational waves, they can also be easily adapted to model…
In order to meet the requirements of practical applications, a model of deforming manifold in the embedded space is proposed. The deforming vector and deforming field are presented to precisely describe the deforming process, which have…
After introducing some motivations for this survey, we describe a formalism to parametrize a wide class of algebraic structures occurring naturally in various problems of topology, geometry and mathematical physics. This allows us to define…
The purpose of this article is to produce effective versions of some rigidity results in algebra and geometry. On the geometric side, we focus on the spectrum of primitive geodesic lengths (resp., complex lengths) for arithmetic hyperbolic…
It is well known that (in suitable codimension) the spaces of long knots in $\mathbb{R}^n$ modulo immersions are double loop spaces. Hence the homology carries a natural Gerstenhaber structure, given by the Gerstenhaber structure on the…
We consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and the geodesic curvatures of a compact surface with boundary by a conformal deformation of the metric. We derive some existence results using a variational approach, either by…
We study the question of approximating a compact geodesic metric space by metric graphs satisfying a uniform upper bound on their first Betti number. We prove that, up to a suitable multiplicative constant, Reeb graphs of distance functions…
Disordered fibrous matrices, formed by the random assembly of fibers, provide the structural framework for many biological systems and biomaterials. Applied deformation modifies the alignment and stress states of constituent fibers, tuning…
Labourie and the author independently showed that a convex real projective structure on an oriented surface of genus at least 2 is equivalent to a conformal structure plus a holomorphic cubic differential U. We analyze the behavior of the…
We study quantum and stochastic deformations of the rule-54 reversible cellular automaton (RCA54) on a 1+1-dimensional spatiotemporal lattice, focusing on their integrability structures in two distinct settings. First, for the quantum…
Spacetime is represented by ordered sequences of topologically closed Poincare sections of the primary space constructed of primary empty cells. These mappings are constrained to provide homeomorphic structures serving as frames of…
While neural representations for static 3D shapes are widely studied, representations for deformable surfaces are limited to be template-dependent or lack efficiency. We introduce Canonical Deformation Coordinate Space (CaDeX), a unified…
In the absence of environmental cues, a migrating cell performs an isotropic random motion. Recently, the breaking of this isotropy has been observed when cells move in the presence of asymmetric adhesive patterns. However, up to now the…
We consider two relatively natural topologizations of the set of all cellular automata on a fixed alphabet. The first turns out to be rather pathological, in that the countable space becomes neither first-countable nor sequential. Also,…
The paper is devoted to the study of the Gromov-Hausdorff proper class, consisting of all metric spaces considered up to isometry. In this class, a generalized Gromov-Hausdorff pseudometric is introduced and the geometry of the resulting…
We study the deformation of a liquid interface with arbitrary principal curvatures by a flat circular sheet. Working first at small slopes, we determine the shape of the sheet analytically in the membrane limit, where the sheet is…
