Conflict sets are loci of intersecting wavefronts emanating from $l$ different surfaces. We show that generically conflict sets are Legendrian: locally they admit the structure of wavefronts. Simple stable singularities for this problem in…

A coordinate cone in R^n is an intersection of some coordinate hyperplanes and open coordinate half-spaces. A semi-monotone set is a defnable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, open bounded subset of R^n such that its intersection…

Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of R^n are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n>1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets…

We prove that any analytic set in $\C^n$ with a unique tangent cone at infinity is an algebraic set. We prove that the degree of a complex algebraic set in $\C^n$, which is Lipschitz normally embedded at infinity, is equal to the degree of…

This paper aims to establish a relation between the tangent cone of the medial axis of X at a given point a of R^n$ and the medial axis of the set of points in X realising the distance d(a,X). As a consequence, a lower bound for the…

The set of real matrices of upper-bounded rank is a real algebraic variety called the real generic determinantal variety. An explicit description of the tangent cone to that variety is given in Theorem 3.2 of Schneider and Uschmajew [SIAM…

In this note we characterize isoperimetric regions inside almost-convex cones. More precisely, as in the case of convex cones, we show that isoperimetric sets are given by intersecting the cone with a ball centered at the origin.

A set without tangents in $\PG(2,q)$ is a set of points S such that no line meets S in exactly one point. An exterior set of a conic $\mathcal{C}$ is a set of points $\E$ such that all secant lines of $\E$ are external lines of…

Let $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ be a connected locally closed definable set in an o-minimal structure. We prove that the following three statements are equivalent: (i) $X$ is a $C^1$ manifold, (ii) the tangent cone and the paratangent cone of…

This paper consists of two parts. In the first one we study the behaviour of medial axes (skeletons) of closed sets in a connected complete Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ under deformations. The second one is devoted to a similar study…

We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids. Let $C$ be a closed pointed convex linear cone in a finite-dimensional real vector space. We show that $C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid if and only if the affine span of $\partial C…

Let $X\subset\mathbb{C}^m$ be an unbounded pure $k$-dimensional algebraic set. We define the tangent cones $C_{4, \infty}(X)$ and $C_{5,\infty}(X)$ of $X$ at infinity. We establish some of their properties and relations. We prove that $X$…

We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids in real normed vector spaces. Let $C$ be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior such that $C$ has a bounded section of codimension $1$. We show that $C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid…

Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…

We give new examples of manifolds that appear as cross sections of tangent cones of non-collapsed Ricci limit spaces. It was shown by Colding-Naber that the homeomorphism types of the tangent cones of a fixed point of such a space do not…

We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…

We prove that tangent cones of Lipschitz normally embedded sets are Lipschitz normally embedded. We also extend to real subanalytic sets the notion of reduced tangent cone and we show that subanalytic Lipschitz normally embedded sets have…

We prove that for a residual (and hence dense) subset $\mathcal{G}$ of Riemannian metrics on $S^{n+1}$ in the $C^{3}$ topology, no area-minimizing integral $n$-current that is a boundary admits a singular tangent cone which is linearly…

Given a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring we compare several sets of invariants (micro-invariants, Apery invariants and invariants of the tangent cone) and give explicit formulas relating them. We show that, in fact, they coincide…

Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that is stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study of error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties of amenable cones, and…
