We introduce the first geometric construction of codes in the sum-rank metric, which we called linearized Algebraic Geometry codes, using quotients of the ring of Ore polynomials with coefficients in the function field of an algebraic…

In a given hypercube, draw grid lines parallel to the edges, and consider all hypercuboids (or hypercubes) whose edges are lying on the grid lines or the boundary. We find the limit of the value of the ratio of the arithmetic mean of the…

On the one hand, we provide the first examples of arbitrarily highly connected (compact) bad orbifolds. On the other hand, we show that n-connected n-orbifolds are manifolds. The latter improves the best previously known bound of Lytchak by…

We obtain a bound for the area of a capillary $H-$surface in a three-manifold with umbilic boundary and controlled sectional curvature. We then analyze the geometry when this area bound is realized, and obtain rigidity theorems. As a side…

Let (X,d) be a finite metric space. This paper first discusses the spectrum of the p-distance matrix of a finite metric space of p-negative type and then gives upper and lower bounds for the so called gap of a finite metric space of strict…

We compute the Gromov width of homogeneous Kaehler manifolds with second Betti number equal to one. Our result is based on the recent preprint [4] and on the upper bound of the Gromov width for such manifolds obtained in [6].

We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In…

The symmetry of polygons can be characterized by the number of symmetry axes they have. For $n$-polygons with $p$ or $p^2$ vertices $p\geq3$ there exist few symmetry categories, depending from the number of symmetry-axes the have. Further…

We derive upper and lower bounds on the sum of distances of a spherical code of size $N$ in $n$ dimensions when $N\sim n^\alpha, 0<\alpha\le 2.$ The bounds are derived by specializing recent general, universal bounds on energy of spherical…

In this note, we extend diameter bounds of Simon, Topping, and Wu--Zheng to submanifolds with boundary and (potentially non-compact) ambient manifolds with minor curvature restrictions. The bound is dependent on both an integral of mean…

The formula for the area of a rhumb polygon, a polygon whose edges are rhumb lines on an ellipsoid of revolution, is derived and a method is given for computing the area accurately. This paper also points out that standard methods for…

Manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed have been studied a lot, but there are only few examples known. The situation is different if one allows in addition for orbifold singularities. We show, nevertheless, that the abundance of new…

We consider curves which go around Whitney umbrella. Then we consider the geodesic and the normal curvatures, ruled surfaces generated by the normal vector and normal developable surfaces with respect to the tangent and bi-tangent vectors…

In this note I give a positive solution to Bullett's conjecture (posed in [1]) regarding a geometric presentation of the universal mod $p$ oriented ring spectrum.

We give an explicit description of the spectrum of the Hodge--Laplace operator on $p$-forms of an arbitrary lens space for any $p$. We write the two generating functions encoding the $p$-spectrum as rational functions. As a consequence, we…

It is a widely observed phenomenon in computer graphics that the size of the silhouette of a polyhedron is much smaller than the size of the whole polyhedron. This paper provides, for the first time, theoretical evidence supporting this for…

This paper contains a set of lecture notes on manifolds with boundary and corners, with particular attention to the space of quantum states. A geometrically inspired way of dealing with these kind of manifolds is presented,and explicit…

We initiate the study of ends of non-metrizable manifolds and introduce the notion of short and long ends. Using the theory developed, we provide a characterization of (non-metrizable) surfaces that can be written as the topological sum of…

We prove that any length metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary, also called a length surface, is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. As an application, using the classical…

The b-boundary is a mathematical tool used to attach a topological boundary to incomplete Lorentzian manifolds using a Riemaniann metric called the Schmidt metric on the frame bundle. In this paper, we give the general form of the Schmidt…
