In this paper we study the linear series $|L-3p|$ of hyperplane sections with a triple point $p$ on a surface $S$ embedded via a very ample line bundle $L$ for a \emph{general} point $p$. If this linear series does not have the expected…

We present a systematic study of threefolds fibred by K3 surfaces that are mirror to sextic double planes. There are many parallels between this theory and the theory of elliptic surfaces. We show that the geometry of such threefolds is…

Using $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry, we present a topological condition for the existence of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ harmonic 1-forms over Riemannian manifold. As a corollary, if $L$ is an oriented link on $S^3$ with determinant zero, then there…

A (general) polygonal line tiling is a graph formed by a string of cycles, each intersecting the previous at an edge, no three intersecting. In 2022, Matsushita proved the matching complex of a certain type of polygonal line tiling with…

We introduce a new tiling algorithm for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use it to compute the maximal cusp area matrix; this completely characterizes the space of all embedded and disjoint cusp neighborhoods. As another application of our work,…

We consider regular tessellations of the plane as infinite graphs in which $q$ edges and $q$ faces meet at each vertex, and in which $p$ edges and $p$ vertices surround each face. For $1/p + 1/q = 1/2$, these are tilings of the Euclidean…

A zigzag in a plane graph is a circuit of edges, such that any two, but no three, consecutive edges belong to the same face. A railroad in a plane graph is a circuit of hexagonal faces, such that any hexagon is adjacent to its neighbors on…

By means of constructing a new edge-bending algorithm, we prove that every locally polyhedral tiling of $\mathbb{R}^3$ can be completely softened. A weaker form of this statement, for polyhedral space tilings, was conjectured by Domokos,…

We consider domino tilings of three-dimensional cubiculated regions. A flip is a local move: two neighboring parallel dominoes are removed and placed back in a different position. The twist is an integer associated to each tiling, which is…

We study the number of tilings of skew Young diagrams by ribbon tiles shaped like Dyck paths, in which the tiles are "vertically decreasing". We use these quantities to compute pairing probabilities in the double-dimer model: Given a planar…

We define the sigma-model action for world-sheets with embedded defect networks in the presence of a three-form field strength. We derive the defect gluing condition for the sigma-model fields and their derivatives, and use it to…

This article presents the formal proof of correctness for a plane Delaunay triangulation algorithm. It consists in repeating a sequence of edge flippings from an initial triangulation until the Delaunay property is achieved. To describe…

We investigate finite 3-nets embedded in a projective plane over a (finite or infinite) field of any characteristic p. Such an embedding is regular when each of the three classes of the 3-net comprises concurrent lines, and irregular…

In this paper, we study 2-port networks and introduce new concepts of voltage drop and $\Pi$-equivalence. The main result is that each planar network is $\Pi$-equivalent to a network with no more than 5 edges. This implies that if an…

We study a model with a real scalar Higgs field and a scalar triplet field that allows existence of a topological defect -- a domain wall. The wall breaks the global $O(3)$ symmetry of the model, which gives rise to non-Abelian…

We report on the presence of families of exact solutions for a complex scalar field that behaves according to the rules of discrete $Z_N$ symmetry. Since the family of models is exactly solved, the results appear to be of interest to…

The most general form of non-static plane symmetric space-times is considered to study proper curvature collineations by using the rank of the 6X6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper curvature collineations in…

In analogy with the well-known 2-linkage tractor-trailer problem, we define a 2-linkage problem in the plane with novel non-holonomic ``no-slip'' conditions. Using constructs from sub-Riemannian geometry, we look for geodesics corresponding…

We present a multi-edge-length aperiodic tiling which exhibits 6--fold rotational symmetry. The edge lengths of the tiling are proportional to 1:$\tau$, where $\tau$ is the golden mean $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$. We show how the tiling can be…

We show that any primitive substitution tiling of the plane creates a separated net which is biLipschitz to the integer lattice. Then we show that if H is a primitive Pisot substitution in an Euclidean space, for every separated net Y, that…
