We solve a very classical problem motivated by considerations in quantum gravity: providing a description of the geometry of a Euclidean tetrahedron from the initial data of the areas of the faces and the areas of the medial parallelograms…
We describe the implementation of orbital optimization for the models in the perfect pairing hierarchy [Lehtola et al, J. Chem. Phys. 145, 134110 (2016)]. Orbital optimization, which is generally necessary to obtain reliable results, is…
By using pairs of nontrivial rational solutions of congruent number equation $$ C_N:\;\;y^2=x^3-N^2x, $$ constructed are pairs of rational right (Pythagorean) triangles with one common side and the other sides equal to the sum and…
Given a triangle, what is the equation of the line which bisects its area and has a given slope? The set of all lines bisecting the area of a triangle has been elegantly determined as a certain 'deltoid' envelope and this gives an indirect…
In this paper we will do the following: (1) show how to geometrically define multiplication, using only basic plane geometry, independently of area and any notion of similar triangles; (2) prove all the properties of multiplication using…
It is well known that the area $U$ of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola $X$ is half of the area $T$ of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. In this article, we consider whether this property and similar…
Suppose that $I$ is a unit square. Let $T$ (resp. $\Delta$) be an isosceles right triangle (resp. an equilateral triangle). We prove that any collection of triangles homothetic to $T$ (resp. $\Delta$), whose total area does not exceed…
In this note we show that in addition to two integers forming a Pythagorean triple, there also exist two irrational numbers in terms of which this Pythagorean triple can also be obtained. We also put forward a relation between these two…
A parametrization of integral Descartes configurations (and effectively Apollonian disk packings) by pairs of two-dimensional integral vectors is presented. The vectors, called here tangency spinors defined for pairs of tangent disks, are…
This study investigates a generalisation of the Pythagorean theorem to the lengths of conic arcs constructed symmetrically on the sides of a right triangle. It is demonstrated that the theorem remains valid whenever the conic eccentricity…
In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…
In an earlier work, we proposed a generalization for the Apollonian packing in arbitrary dimensions and showed that the resulting object in four, five, and six dimensions have properties consistent with the Apollonian circle and sphere…
The review of modern study of algebraic, geometric and differential properties of quaternionic (Q) numbers with their applications. Traditional and "tensor" formulation of Q-units with their possible representations are discussed and groups…
New formulas for the construction of Pythagorean triples and generalizations to equations of higher powers. Application of formulas to some problems, in particular Fermat's equation with n=4.
A new formula is obtained in algebraic topology, in terms of Betti numbers, and a new method, called the spinal method, is suggested and developed for generating quadrangulations of closed orientable surfaces. Those surfaces arise as the…
The method of generating Pythagorean triples is known for about 2000 years. Though the classical formulas produce all primitive triples they do not generate all possible triples, especially non-primitive triples. This paper presents a…
Let (a,b,c)be a Pythagorean triple with c being the hypotenuse length, and h being the altitude to the hypotenuse. Also, let v,k,l be positive integers with k and l being relatively prime.We say(Definition1 in this work)that the Pythagorean…
We discover suprising connections between three seemingly different problems: finding right triangles with rational sides in a non-Euclidean geometry, finding three integers such that the difference of the squares of any two is a square,…
The space of shapes of a polyhedron with given total angles less than 2\pi at each of its n vertices has a Kaehler metric, locally isometric to complex hyperbolic space CH^{n-3}. The metric is not complete: collisions between vertices take…
This is an attempt to model ambient space as a three-dimensional real affine space with a distinguished group of automorphisms containing the translations and acting freely and transitively on pairs consisting of a half-plane together with…
