A polyhedron is a graph $G$ which is simple, planar and 3-connected. In this note, we classify the family of strongly involutive self-dual polyhedra. The latter is done by using a well-known result due to Tutte characterizing 3-connected…
This research will be helpful for people to display the 2-dimensiona projective models of 4-variable actual problems in many fields, in order to investigate deeply those actual problems. By using the theory of N-dimensional finite rotation…
It is shown in this paper that non-conforming finite elements on the triangle using $P^{1}$-nonconforming polynomials and $P^{2}$ -conforming polynomials can be easily built and used.They appear as an 'enriched' version of the standard…
The antiprism triangulation provides a natural way to subdivide a simplicial complex $\Delta$, similar to barycentric subdivision, which appeared independently in combinatorial algebraic topology and computer science. It can be defined as…
The construction of anisotropic triangulations is desirable for various applications, such as the numerical solving of partial differential equations and the representation of surfaces in graphics. To solve this notoriously difficult…
Quasitoric manifolds, introduced by M. Davis and T. Januskiewicz in 1991, are topological generalizations of smooth complex projective spaces. In 1992, Banchoff and K\"uhnel constructed a 10-vertex equilibrium triangulations of $\CP^2$. We…
A result due to Burago and Zalgaller (1960, 1995) states that every orientable polyhedral surface, one that is obtained by gluing Euclidean polygons, has an isometric piecewise linear (PL) embedding into Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$. A…
We prove that 1) There exist infinitely many non-trivial codimension one "thick" knots in $\mathbb{R}^5$; 2) For each closed four-dimensional smooth manifold $M$ and for each sufficiently small positive $\epsilon$ the set of isometry…
We find explicit projective models of a compact Shimura curve and of a (non-compact) surface which are the moduli spaces of principally polarised abelian fourfolds with an automorphism of order five. The surface has a 24-nodal canonical…
Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope $P$ is defined to be the minimum number of facets of a (possibly…
We present a constructive proof that there exists a decomposition of the 2-skeleton of the k-dimensional cross polytope $\beta^k$ into closed surfaces of genus $g \leq 1$, each with a transitive automorphism group given by the vertex…
It is shown that each quadrangulation of the 2-torus by the Cartesian product of two cycles can be geometrically realized in (Euclidean) 4-space without hidden symmetries---that is, so that each combinatorial cellular automorphism of the…
We determine the polar and the maximal antipodal set $P$ for the outer 3-symmetric space $\mathbb{S}^7 \times \mathbb{S}^7 = \mathrm{Spin}_8/G_2$ where the 3-symmetric structure is given by the triality automorphism $\tau$ on…
We study the geometry and arithmetic of the curves $C \colon y^3 = x^4 + ax^2 + b$ and their associated Prym abelian surfaces $P$. We prove a Torelli theorem in this context and give a geometric proof of the fact that $P$ has quaternionic…
It is known that strongly involutive polyhedra are closely related to self-dual maps where the antipodal function acts as duality isomorphism. Such a family of polyhedra appears in different combinatorial, topological and geometric…
Recently, Peter Doyle and Curt McMullen devised an iterative solution to the fifth degree polynomial. At the method's core is a rational mapping of the Riemann sphere with the icosahedral symmetry of a general quintic. Moreover, this map…
We wish to draw attention to an interesting and promising interaction of two theories. On the one hand, it is the theory of \textbf{pseudo-triangulations} which was useful for implicit solution of thecarpenter's rule problem and proved…
A small triangulation of the sphere product can be found in lower dimensions by computer search and is known in few other cases: Klee and Novik constructed a centrally symmetric triangulation of $\mathbb{S}^i\times \mathbb{S}^{d-i-1}$ with…
This article examines the universal polytope $\CP$ (of type $\{5,3,5\}$) whose facets are dodecahedra, and whose vertex figures are hemi-icosahedra. The polytope is proven to be finite, and the structure of its group is identified. This…
We augment the list of finite universal locally toroidal regular polytopes of type {3,3,4,3,3} due to P.McMullen and E.Schulte, adding as well as removing entries. This disproves a related long-standing conjecture. Our new universal…
