Extensive studies in the past have focused on precise calculations of the nonlinear-optical susceptibility of thousands of molecules. In this work, we use the broader approach of considering how geometry and symmetry alone play a role. We…

In this paper we present an overview of the connection between completely integrable systems and the background geometry of the flow. This relation is better seen when using a group-based concept of moving frame introduced by Fels and Olver…

This paper makes a deep study of regular two-distance sets. A set of unit vectors $X$ in Euclidean space $\RR^n$ is said to be regular two-distance set if the inner product of any pair of its vectors is either $\alpha$ or $\beta$, and the…

The paper establishes a correspondence relating two specific classes of complex algebraic K3 surfaces. The first class consists of K3 surfaces polarized by the rank-sixteen lattice H+E_7+E_7. The second class consists of K3 surfaces…

The paper introduces the class of O-metric spaces, a novel generalization of metric-type spaces, classifying almost all possible metric types into upward and downward O-metrics. We list some topologies arising from O-metrics and discuss…

In this paper, we deal with the linear Weingarten factorable surfaces in the isotropic 3-space I^{3} satisfying the relation aK+bH=c, where K is the relative curvature and H the isotropic mean curvature, a,b,cR. We obtain a complete…

Motivated by understanding the limiting case of a certain systolic inequality we study compact Riemannian manifolds having all harmonic 1-forms of constant length. We give complete characterizations as far as K\"ahler and hyperbolic…

In the last years considerable attention has been paid for the orthogonal and non-linear projections of self-similar sets. In this paper we consider orthogonal transformation-free self-similar sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$, i.e. the generating IFS…

We seek to characterize homology classes of Lagrangian projective spaces embedded in irreducible holomorphic-symplectic manifolds, up to the action of the monodromy group. This paper addresses the case of manifolds deformation-equivalent to…

We study area-stationary, or maximal, surfaces in the space ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^3)$ of oriented geodesics of hyperbolic 3-space, endowed with the canonical neutral K\"ahler structure. We prove that every holomorphic curve in ${\mathbb…

Symmetry plays a vital role in understanding structural patterns, aiding object recognition and scene interpretation. This paper focuses on rotation symmetry, where objects remain unchanged when rotated around a central axis, requiring…

In some scientific fields, a scaling is able to modify the topology of an observed object. Our goal in the present work is to introduce a new formalism adapted to the mathematical representation of this kind of phenomenon. To this end, we…

The $Kepler$ $orbits$ form a 3-parameter family of $unparametrized$ plane curves, consisting of all conics sharing a focus at a fixed point. We study the geometry and symmetry properties of this family, as well as natural 2-parameter…

The recently established metric reduction in generalized geometry is encoded in 0-dimensional supersymmetric $\sigma$-models. This is an example of balanced topological field theories. To find the geometric content of such models, the…

We prove some results on the fibers and images of rational maps from a hyper-K\"ahler manifold. We study in particular the minimal genus of fibers of a fibration into curves. The last section of this paper is devoted to the study of the…

Distance Geometry is based on the inverse problem that asks to find the positions of points, in a Euclidean space of given dimension, that are compatible with a given set of distances. We briefly introduce the field, and discuss some open…

Symmetry is at the heart of much of mathematics, physics, and art. Traditional geometric symmetry groups are defined in terms of isometries of the ambient space of a shape or pattern. If we slightly generalize this notion to allow the…

Geometrical chirality is a property of objects that describes three-dimensional mirror-symmetry violation and therefore it requires a non-vanishing spatial extent. In contrary, optical chirality describes only the local handedness of…
