It is well known that plane curves with the same endpoints are homotopic. An analogous claim for plane curves with the same endpoints and bounded curvature still remains open. In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for two…
We investigate the lines tangent to four triangles in R^3. By a construction, there can be as many as 62 tangents. We show that there are at most 162 connected components of tangents, and at most 156 if the triangles are disjoint. In…
An approach to defining quadratic implicit curves is to prescribe two tangent lines and a secant line going through the points of tangency. This paper will show that this method can be generalized to a higher number of tangents, resulting…
The diagonals of a quadrilateral form four associated triangles, called half triangles. Each half triangle is bounded by two sides of the quadrilateral and one diagonal. If we locate a triangle center (such as the incenter, centroid,…
New obstructions for embedding one compact oriented 3-manifold in another are given. A theorem of D. Krebes concerning 4-tangles embedded in links arises as a special case. Algebraic and skein-theoretic generalizations for 2n-tangles…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into smaller triangles of various sizes. We give theorems about the relationship between the radii of certain excircles of some of these…
A surface that is the pointwise sum of circles in Euclidean space is either coplanar or contains no more than 2 circles through a general point. A surface that is the pointwise product of circles in the unit-quaternions contains either 2,…
High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to the sphere and the hyperbolic…
We construct families of circles in the plane such that their tangency graphs have arbitrarily large girth and chromatic number. This provides a strong negative answer to Ringel's circle problem (1959). The proof relies on a…
The paper introduces cycles cross ratio, which extends the classic cross ratio of four points to various settings: conformal geometry, Lie spheres geometry, etc. Just like its classic counterpart cycles cross ratio is a measure of…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into six small triangles. We give theorems about the relationships between the radii of the circumcircles of these triangles. We also state some…
This paper provides a non-standard analogue of Bezout's theorem. This is acheived by showing that, in all characteristics, the notion of Zariski multiplicity coincides with intersection multiplicity when we consider the full families of…
We study the Carnot theorem and the configuration of points and lines in connection with it. It is proven that certain significant points in the configuration lie on the same lines and same conics. The proof of an equivalent statement…
This paper concerns the number of lattice points in a circle.
If all but two vertices of a triangulated sphere have degrees divisible by $k$, then the exceptional vertices are not adjacent. This theorem is proved for $k=2$ with the help of the coloring monodromy. For $k = 3, 4, 5$ colorings by the…
We construct a tangent-obstruction theory for Azumaya algebras equipped with a quadratic pair. Under the assumption that either 2 is a global unit or the algebra is of degree 2, we show how the deformation theory of these objects reduces to…
In general graph theory, the only relationship between vertices are expressed via the edges. When the vertices are embedded in an Euclidean space, the geometric relationships between vertices and edges can be interesting objects of study.…
We apply the Ramsey theory to the analysis of geometrical properties of closed contours. Consider a set of six points placed on a closed contour. The straight lines connecting these points are y_ik (x)={\alpha}_ik x+\b{eta}_ik (i,k=1...6),…
The classical theorems relating integral binary quadratic forms and ideal classes of quadratic orders have been of tremendous importance in mathematics, and many authors have given extensions of these theorems to rings other than the…
A configuration of points and lines is cyclic if it has an automorphism which permutes its points in a full cycle. A closed formula is derived for the number of non-isomorphic connected cyclic configurations of type (v_3), i.e., which have…
