Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This last one classifies the case of $a^3b$-quadrilaterals with some irrational angle: there are a sequence of…

Putting a twisted version of N=4 super Yang-Mills on a curved four-dimensional manifold generically breaks all conformal supersymmetries. In the special case where the four-manifold is a cone, we show that exactly two conformal supercharges…

The Law of Quadratic Reciprocity was conjectured by Euler and Legendre who both found an incomplete proof. Gauss called this law "Theorema Fundamentale", and he was the first who gave a complete proof, he also highlighted the equivalence of…

Let ${\mathbf P}^2$ denote the projective plane over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$. A pair of nonsingular conics $({\mathcal A}, {\mathcal B})$ in the plane is said to satisfy the Poncelet triangle condition if, considered as conics in…

Guided by the ideas of chirality in the abstract polytope theory, the present paper aims to extend the concept to a more general setting of incidence geometries. The purpose of this paper is to explore the more general framework of thin…

At any point of a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we consider the geometric configuration consisting of two figures: the tangent indicatrix, which is a conic in the tangent plane, and the normal curvature ellipse. We show…

This article is concerned with causal structures, which are defined as a field of tangentially non-degenerate projective hypersurfaces in the projectivized tangent bundle of a manifold. The local equivalence problem of causal structures on…

For every smooth Jordan curve $\gamma$ and cyclic quadrilateral $Q$ in the Euclidean plane, we show that there exists an orientation-preserving similarity taking the vertices of $Q$ to $\gamma$. The proof relies on the theorem of…

The article takes the formula for the integrable system defined by Beauville et al on the cotangent bundle of the intersection of two quadrics X, and interprets it in terms of rank 2 quasi parabolic Higgs bundles on the projective line. We…

A linear $r$-uniform hypergraph is called acycilc if it can be constructed starting from one single edge then at each step adding a new edge that intersect the union of the vertices of the previous edges in at most one vertex. Recently,…

Using a new point of view inspired by hyperplane arrangements, we generalize the converse to Pascal's Theorem, sometimes called the Braikenridge-Maclaurin Theorem. In particular, we show that if 2k lines meet a given line, colored green, in…

We prove a conjecture due to Sturmfels and Uhler concerning the degree of the projective variety associated to the Gaussian graphical model of the cycle. We involve new methods based on the intersection theory in the space of complete…

A spherical quadrilateral is a bordered surface homeomorphic to a closed disk, with four distinguished boundary points called corners, equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature 1, except at the corners, and such that the…

We study the arithmetic of complete intersections in projective space over number fields. Our main results include arithmetic Torelli theorems and versions of the Shafarevich conjecture, as proved for curves and abelian varieties by…

We introduce the abstract notion of a chain, which is a sequence of $n$ points in the plane, ordered by $x$-coordinates, so that the edge between any two consecutive points is unavoidable as far as triangulations are concerned. A general…

The oloid is the convex hull of two circles with equal radius in perpendicular planes so that the center of each circle lies on the other circle. It is part of a developable surface which we call extended oloid. We determine the tangential…

Let $H$ be obtained from a cyclically $4$-edge-connected cubic planar graph $Y$ other than $K_4$ by deleting two adjacent vertices. We provide a short proof that if $H$ has circumference at least $k$ for some even integer $k \ge 4$, then…

The disproved Nash Williams conjecture states that every 4-regular 4-connected graph has a hamiltonian cycle. We show that a modification of this conjecture is equivalent to the Dominating Cycle Conjecture.

A collection of converse theorems for integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) is established for linear time-invariant systems. It is demonstrated that when a system interconnected in feedback with an arbitrary system satisfying an IQC is…

While conformal transformations of the plane preserve Laplace's equation, Lorentz-conformal mappings preserve the wave equation. We discover how simple geometric objects, such as quadrilaterals and pairs of crossing curves, are transformed…
