In this paper we study the linearizability problem for 3-webs on a 2-dimensional manifold. With an explicit computation based on the theory developed in the paper "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp.…
There are two theories describing the linearizability of 3-webs: one is developed in the article "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp.2643-2654) and another in the article "On the Blaschke conjecture for…
We find relative differential invariants of orders eight and nine for a planar nonparallelizable 3-web such that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a 3-web to be linearizable. This solves the Blaschke conjecture for 3-webs. As…
We study non-flat planar 3-webs with infinitesimal symmetries. Using multi-dimensional Schwarzian derivative we give a criterion for linearization of such webs and present a projective classification thereof. Using this classification we…
Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web which admits more than one distinct linearization is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We give a partial answer to the conjecture in the affirmative for the class of planar 3-webs with…
The Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web of foliations which admits more than one distinct linearizations is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We propose an analogue of the Gronwall conjecture for the 3-web of foliations by…
We present a projectively invariant description of planar linear 3-webs. For a non-hexagonal 3-web, we introduce family of projective torsion-free Cartan connections, the web leaves being geodesics for each member of the family, and give a…
We find d - 2 relative differential invariants for a d-web, d \geq 4, on a two-dimensional manifold and prove that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a d-web to be linearizable. If one writes the above invariants in terms of…
In this paper we will explore a way to prove the hundred years old Gronwall's conjecture: if two plane linear 3-webs with non-zero curvature are locally isomorphic, then the isomorphism is a homography. Using recent results of S. I.…
In a recent paper published in the Philosophical Magazine [Z.-D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87, 5309-5419 (2007), arXiv:0705.1045], the author advances a conjectured solution for various properties of the three-dimensional Ising model. Here we…
The paper reports the progress with the classical problem, posed by Blaschke and Bol in 1938. We present new examples and new classifications of natural classes of hexagonal circular 3-webs. The main results is the classification of…
We investigate the linearizability problem for different classes of 4-webs in the plane. In particular, we apply a recently found in [AGL] the linearizability conditions for 4-webs in the plane to confirm that a 4-web MW (Mayrhofer's web)…
Canonical parametrisations of classical confocal coordinate systems are introduced and exploited to construct non-planar analogues of incircular (IC) nets on individual quadrics and systems of confocal quadrics. Intimate connections with…
We present a complete description of a class of linearizable planar geodesic webs which contain a parallelizable 3-subweb.
In this paper we show the validity, under certain geometric conditions, of Wheeler's thin sandwich conjecture for higher dimensional theories of gravity. We extend the results shown by R. Bartnik and G. Fodor for the 3-dimensional case in…
The first paper is an invited comment on arXiv:1110.5527 presented at Hypercomplex Seminar 2012 and on sixteen earlier published papers by Zhidong Zhang and Norman H. March. All these works derive from an erroneous solution of the…
We study the large-scale geometry of 3-manifolds with nontrivial 2-dimensional bounded cohomology, with a view to proving a weak version of the geometrization conjecture for such manifolds.
We compute connection probabilities for reduced $3$-webs in the triple-dimer model on circular planar graphs using the boundary measurement matrix (reduced Kasteleyn matrix). As one application we compute several "$\text{SL}_3$…
It is shown that a recent article by Z.-D. Zhang [arXiv:0705.1045] is in error and violates well-known theorems.
In 2008, Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that in every finite metric space of $n$ points, there are at least $n$ distinct lines, or the whole set of points is a line. This is a generalization of a classical result in the Euclidean plane. The…
