A variant of the Circle Packing Theorem states that the combinatorial class of any convex polyhedron contains elements midscribed to the unit sphere centered at the origin, and that these representatives are unique up to M\"obius…

We prove the existence of Ulrich bundles on cyclic coverings of $\mathbb{P}^n$ of arbitrary degree $d$. Given a relatively Ulrich bundle on a complete intersection subvariety, we construct a relatively Ulrich bundle on the ambient variety.…

Let $(N,\Phi)$ be a circular Ferrero pair. We define the disk with center $b$ and radius $a$, $\mathcal{D}(a;b)$, as \[\mathcal{D}(a;b)=\{x\in \Phi(r)+c\mid r\neq 0,\ b\in \Phi(r)+c,\ |(\Phi(r)+c)\cap (\Phi(a)+b)|=1\}.\] We prove that in…

The observations of bulge/disk segregation in the Universe are reviewed with a focus on whether the observed segregation in clusters is local or global, and whether there is bulge-disk segregation on large-scales. The high concentration of…

The packing of hard spheres (HS) of diameter $\sigma$ in a cylinder has been used to model experimental systems, such as fullerenes in nanotubes and colloidal wire assembly. Finding the densest packings of HS under this type of confinement,…

We develop a simple analytical theory that relates dense sphere packings in a cylinder to corresponding disk packings on its surface. It applies for ratios R=D/d (where d and D are the diameters of the hard spheres and the bounding…

Given a unimodular real spherical space $Z=G/H$ we construct for each boundary degeneration $Z_I=G/H_I$ of $Z$ a Bernstein morphism $B_I: L^2(Z_I)_{\rm disc }\to L^2(Z)$. We show that $B:=\bigoplus_I B_I$ provides an isospectral…

Brane tilings describe Lagrangians (vector multiplets, chiral multiplets, and the superpotential) of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories. These theories, written in terms of a bipartite graph on a torus,…

We construct one Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface for each isomorphism class of principal bundles over this surface. For this, we define a new discrete gauge theory which is essentially a covering of the usual one. We prove that the…

For a finite set $S$ of points in the plane and a graph with vertices on $S$ consider the disks with diameters induced by the edges. We show that for any odd set $S$ there exists a Hamiltonian cycle for which these disks share a point, and…

We give theorems that can be used to upper bound the densities of packings of different spherical caps in the unit sphere and of translates of different convex bodies in Euclidean space. These theorems extend the linear programming bounds…

We consider packings of the plane using discs of radius 1 and r=0.545151... . The value of r admits compact packings in which each hole in the packing is formed by three discs which are tangent to each other. We prove that the largest…

We construct the densest known two-dimensional packings of superdisks in the plane whose shapes are defined by |x^(2p) + y^(2p)| <= 1, which contains both convex-shaped particles (p > 0.5, with the circular-disk case p = 1) and…

We provide a tight result for a fundamental problem arising from packing disks into a circular container: The critical density of packing disks in a disk is 0.5. This implies that any set of (not necessarily equal) disks of total area…

Jammed packings' mechanical properties depend sensitively on their detailed local structure. Here we provide a complete characterization of the pair correlation close to contact and of the force distribution of jammed frictionless spheres.…

We prove that any minimal weak symplectic filling of the canonical contact structure on the unit cotangent bundle of a nonorientable closed surface other than the real projective plane is s-cobordant rel boundary to the disk cotangent…

The main goal of this article is to introduce BL-rings, i.e., commutative rings whose lattices of ideals can be equipped with a structure of BL-algebra. We obtain a description of such rings, and study the connections between the new class…

By a compact packing of the plane by discs, $P$, we mean a collection of closed discs in the plane with pairwise disjoint interior so that, for every disc $C\in P$, there exists a sequence of discs $D_{0},\ldots,D_{m-1}\in P$ so that each…

We list up to M\"obius equivalence all possible degrees and embedding dimensions of real surfaces that are covered by at least two pencils of circles, together with the number of such pencils. In addition, we classify incidences between the…

Two dimensional space-filling bearings are dense packings of disks that can rotate without slip. We consider the entire first family of bearings for loops of size four and propose a hierarchical construction of their contact network. We…
