In this paper we consider cases of existence of invariant measure, additional first integrals, and Poisson structure in a problem of rigid body's rolling without sliding on plane and sphere. The problem of rigid body's motion on plane was…
A one-parameter deformation of a periodic bar-and-joint framework is expansive when all distances between joints increase or stay the same. In dimension two, expansive behavior can be fully explained through our theory of periodic…
In this paper we study left invariant CR structures on Lie groups which are compatible with geometric properties as Poisson and kahler properties.
We describe our recent results concerning the rigidity/unlockability properties of clusters of rigid bodies sliding over the unit sphere.
Materials science has adopted the term of auxetic behavior for structural deformations where stretching in some direction entails lateral widening, rather than lateral shrinking. Most studies, in the last three decades, have explored…
We present spectrally disjoint Sidon automorphisms whose tensor squares are isomorphic to a planar shift. Spectra of such automorphisms do not possess the group property. To check the singularity of spectrum, we use polynomial rigidity of…
The geometries of spaces having as groups the real orthogonal groups and some of their contractions are described from a common point of view. Their central extensions and Casimirs are explicitly given. An approach to the trigonometry of…

In this work stability of polygonal configurations on a plane and sphere is investigated. The conditions of linear stability are obtained. A nonlinear analysis of the problem is made with the help of Birkhoff normalization. Some problems…
Some aspects of two-dimensional gravity coupled to matter fields, especially to the Sine-Gordon-model are examined. General properties and boundary conditions of possible soliton-solutions are considered. Analytic soliton-solutions are…
We define gauge transformations of Jacobi structures on a manifold. This is related to gauge transformations of Poisson structures via the Poissonization. Finally, we discuss how the contact structure of a contact groupoid is effected by a…
In \cite{X-Z DCS1}, we introduced discrete conformal structures on surfaces with boundary via an axiomatic framework, and provided a classification of such discrete conformal structures. The present work focuses on the rigidity and…
The paper is devoted to the study of the motion of one-dimensional rigid bodies during a free fall in a quasi-Newtonian hyperviscous fluid at low Reynolds number. We show the existence of a steady solution and furnish sufficient conditions…
We briefly review ideas about ``noncommutativity of space-time'' and approaches toward a corresponding theory of gravity.
This article discusses two recent works by the author, one with Brown and Hurtado on Zimmer's conjecture and one with Bader, Miller and Stover on totally geodesic submanifolds of real and complex hyperbolic manifolds. The main purpose of…
This paper is a survey (may be incomplete) on partial Nambu-Poisson structures in infinite dimension, mainly in the convenient setting. These ones can be seen as a generalization of both partial Poisson and Nambu-Poisson structures. We also…
We consider the rigidity and global rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space under additional dilation constraints in specified coordinate directions. In this setting we obtain a complete characterisation of generic rigidity.…
The response of low-dimensional solid objects combines geometry and physics in unusual ways, exemplified in structures of great utility such as a thin-walled tube that is ubiquitous in nature and technology. Here we provide a particularly…
We introduce the notion of a $\theta$-almost twisted Poisson structure on manifolds, which involves incorporating a closed $1$-form $\theta$ into twisted Poisson structures under specific conditions. We provide a characterization of this…
The dynamics of fluids is a long standing challenge that remained as an unsolved problem for centuries. Understanding its main features, chaos and turbulence, is likely to provide an understanding of the principles and non-linear dynamics…
