The purpose of this article is to \begin{enumerate} \item define $M(t,k)$ the $t$-fold center of mass arrangement for $k$ points in the plane, \item give elementary properties of $M(t,k)$ and \item give consequences concerning the space…

For a closed PL manifold M, we consider the configuration space F(M,k) of ordered k-tuples of distinct points in M. We show that a suitable iterated suspension of F(M,k) is a homotopy invariant of M. The number of suspensions we require…

The aim of this paper is to make sample computations with the Salvetti complex of the "center of mass" arrangement introduced in [arXiv:math/0611732] by Cohen and Kamiyama. We compute the homology of the Salvetti complex of these…

For every pattern $P$, consisting of a finite set of points in the plane, $S_{P}(n,m)$ is defined as the largest number of similar copies of $P$ among sets of $n$ points in the plane without $m$ points on a line. A general construction,…

When a pair of non-incident edges of a tetrahedron is chosen, the midpoints of the remaining 4 edges are the vertices of a planar parallelogram. A formula is given in terms of the six edge lengths for the area of this parallelogram. It is…

One of the primary methods of studying the topology of configurations of points in a graph and configurations of disks in a planar region has been to examine discrete combinatorial models arising from the underlying spaces. Despite the…

We construct homotopically non-trivial maps from the unit m-sphere to the unit (m-1)-sphere with arbitrarily small k-dilation for each k greater than (m + 1)/2. We prove that homotopically non-trivial maps from the unit m-sphere to the unit…

We consider the $k$-center problem in which the centers are constrained to lie on two lines. Given a set of $n$ weighted points in the plane, we want to locate up to $k$ centers on two parallel lines. We present an $O(n\log^2 n)$ time…

In this work we are interested in the central configurations of the spatial seven-body problem where six of them are at vertices of two congruents equilateral triangles belong to parallel planes and one triangle is a rotation by the angle…

Let $K$ be a convex body in an affine chart of the $n$ dimensional real Projective space $\mathbb{RP}^n$, $n \geq 3$, let $H$ be a hyperplane which is not a support hyperplane of $K$ and let $p_1,p_2 \in \mathbb{RP}^n \setminus H$ be two…

We consider the classic $k$-center problem {in the constant dimensional Euclidean space} under a parallel setting, on the low-local-space Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with local space per machine of ${O}(n^{\delta})$, where…

In this paper, we study generalized versions of the k-center problem, which involves finding k circles of the smallest possible equal radius that cover a finite set of points in the plane. By utilizing the Minkowski gauge function, we…

For any real-analytic hypersurface M in complex euclidean space of dimension >= 2 which does not contain any complex-analytic subvariety of positive dimension, we show that for every point p in M the local real-analytic CR automorphisms of…

Planar central configurations can be seen as critical points of the reduced potential or solutions of a system of equations. By the homogeneity and invariance of the potential with respect to SO(2), it is possible to see that the…

We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…

This paper begins by extending the notion of a combinatorial configuration of points and lines to a combinatorial configuration of points and planes that we refer to as configurations of order $2$. We then proceed to investigate a further…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ is the combination of a graph $G$ and a map $p$ assigning positions, in some space, to the vertices of $G$. The framework is rigid if every edge-length-preserving continuous motion of the vertices arises from…

A maniplex of rank n is a connected, n-valent, edge-coloured graph that generalises abstract polytopes and maps. If the automorphism group of a maniplex M partitions the vertex-set of M into k distinct orbits, we say that M is a k-orbit…

Using the theory of extensors developed in a previous paper we present a theory of the parallelism structure on arbitrary smooth manifold. Two kinds of Cartan connection operators are introduced and both appear in intrinsic versions (i.e.,…

We study the problem of planar central configurations with $N$ heavy bodies and $k$ bodies with arbitrary small masses. We derive the equation which describe the limit of light masses going to zero, which can be seen as the equation for…
