This paper concentrates on the homogeneous (conformal) model of Euclidean space (Horosphere) with subspaces that intuitively correspond to Euclidean geometric objects in three dimensions. Mathematical details of the construction and…
We consider a general theory of curvatures of discrete surfaces equipped with edgewise parallel Gauss images, and where mean and Gaussian curvatures of faces are derived from the faces' areas and mixed areas. Remarkably these notions are…

Discrete curvatures are quantities associated to the nodes and edges of a graph that reflect the local geometry around them. These curvatures have a rich mathematical theory and they have recently found success as a tool to analyze networks…
We study the presence of abelian discrete symmetries in globally consistent orientifold compactifications based on rational conformal field theory. We extend previous work [1] by allowing the discrete symmetries to be a linear combination…

We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter…
Darboux developed an ingenious algebraic mechanism to construct infinite chains of ''integrable'' second-order differential equations as well as their solutions. After a surprisingly long time, Darboux's results were rediscovered and…
We study discrete curvatures computed from nets of curvature lines on a given smooth surface, and prove their uniform convergence to smooth principal curvatures. We provide explicit error bounds, with constants depending only on properties…
We establish a connection between two previously unrelated topics: a particular discrete version of conformal geometry for triangulated surfaces, and the geometry of ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic three-space. Two triangulated surfaces are…
This paper challenges some of the common assumptions underlying the mathematics used to describe the physical world. We start by reviewing many of the assumptions underlying the concepts of real, physical, rigid bodies and the translational…
Sampling algorithms, hypergraph degree sequences, and polytopes play a crucial role in statistical analysis of network data. This article offers a brief overview of open problems in this area of discrete mathematics from the point of view…
Matched pairs of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids are studied. Discrete Euler-Lagrange equations are written for the matched pairs of Lie groupoids. As such, a geometric framework to analyse a discrete system by decomposing it into two…
We introduce a one-parameter family of transforms, $U^t_{(m)}$, $t>0$, from the Hilbert space of Clifford algebra valued square integrable functions on the $m$--dimensional sphere, $L^2(S^{m},d\sigma_{m})\otimes \mathbb{C}_{m+1}$, to the…
In this paper we solve positively the problem of (local) density of solutions of the (2+1)-dimentional integrable system describing triply orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in R^3 (a (2+1)-dimensional generalization of the 3-wave system)…
We introduce the dual Koenigs lattices, which are the integrable discrete analogues of conjugate nets with equal tangential invariants, and we find the corresponding reduction of the fundamental transformation. We also introduce the notion…
We present a geometric framework for discrete classical field theories, where fields are modeled as "morphisms" defined on a discrete grid in the base space, and take values in a Lie groupoid. We describe the basic geometric setup and…
Starting from the full group of symmetries of a system we select a discrete subset of transformations which allows to introduce the Clifford algebra of operators generating new supercharges of extended supersymmetry. The system defined by…
