We define $G$-symmetric polygonal systems of similarities and study the properties of symmetric dendrites, which appear as their attractors. This allows us to find the conditions under which the attractor of a zipper becomes a dendrite.

We introduce a class of self-similar sets which we call {\em twofold Cantor sets} $K_{pq}$ in $\mathbb R$ which are totally disconnected, do not have weak separation property and at the same time have isomorphic self-similar structures.

The equidistant set of two nonempty subsets $K$ and $L$ in the Euclidean plane is a set all of whose points have the same distance from $K$ and $L$. Since the classical conics can be also given in this way, equidistant sets can be…

Suppose that $\{G_n\}$ is a sequence of finite graphs such that each $G_n$ is the tangency graph of a sphere packing in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\rho_n$ be a uniformly random vertex of $G_n$ and suppose that $(G,\rho)$ is the distributional…

The purpose of this article is to establish the dual version of the uniform cover inequality of Bollobas and Thomason.

Coarse median spaces simultaneously generalise the classes of hyperbolic spaces and median algebras, and arise naturally in the study of the mapping class groups and many other contexts. One issue with their definition as originally…

Let $M^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional Euclidean, hyperbolic, or spherical space. The $r$-dual set of given set in $M^d$ is the intersection of balls of radii $r$ centered at the points of the given set. In this paper we prove that for any…

The space of continuous, ${\rm SL}(m,C)$-equivariant, $m\geq 2$, and translation covariant valuations taking values in the space of real symmetric tensors on $C^m\cong R^{2m}$ of rank $r\geq 0$ is completely described. The classification…

The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture says that if a finite collection of balls in a Euclidean (spherical or hyperbolic) space is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not increase, then the volume of the union of these…

We prove that if a circular arc has angle short enough, then it can be continuously moved to any prescribed position within a set of arbitrarily small area.

We say that a planar set $A$ has the Kakeya property if there exist two different positions of $A$ such that $A$ can be continuously moved from the first position to the second within a set of arbitrarily small area. We prove that if $A$ is…

We consider point distributions in compact connected two-point homogeneous spaces (Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one). All such spaces are known, they are the spheres in the Euclidean spaces, the real, complex and quaternionic…

We investigate the evolution of axis ratios, roundness (isoperimetric ratio) and the number of static balance points under distance-driven flows. The latter have already been proposed by Aristotle as models of particle shape evolution and…

Employing the inverse function theorem on Banach spaces, we prove that in a $C^{2}(S^{n-1})$-neighborhood of the unit ball, the only solutions of $\Pi^2K=cK$ are origin-centered ellipsoids. Here $K$ is an $n$-dimensional convex body, $\Pi…

For mappings in metric spaces satisfying one inequality with respect to modulus of families of curves, there is proved a lightness of the uniform limit of these mappings. It is proved that, the uniform limit of these mappings is light…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a new Cartan-type property for the fine topology in the case $p=1$. Then we use this property to prove the existence of…

Let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in ${\mathbb R^5}$ with countably many diameters, such that their projections onto all $4$ dimensional subspaces containing one fixed diameter are directly congruent. We show that if these projections…

We study functions of least gradient as well as related superminimizers and solutions of obstacle problems in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincar\'e inequality. We show a standard weak Harnack…

The connection between several hyperbolic type metrics is studied in subdomains of the Euclidean space. In particular, a new metric is introduced and compared to the distance ratio metric.

Let $G \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain and let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be two metrics on $G$. We compare the geometries defined by the two metrics to each other for several pairs of metrics. The metrics we study include the distance ratio…
