We show that there are no edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons beyond the minimal dodecahedron tiling, such that there is a tile with all vertices having degree 3 and the edge length combinations are three of the five…

We show that a nondegenerate tight contact form on the 3-sphere has exactly two simple closed Reeb orbits if and only if the differential in linearized contact homology vanishes. Moreover, in this case the Floquet multipliers and…

We show that for all $n \ge 3$, any $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifold that admits a tight contact structure, also admits a tight but non-fillable contact structure, in the same almost contact class. For $n=2$, we obtain the same result,…

73 new cubature rules are found for three standard multidimensional integrals with spherically symmetric regions and weights, using direct search with a numerical zero-finder. All but four of the new rules have fewer integration points than…

We exhibit a 3-manifold which admits no tight contact structure.

We study the moduli space of null curves in Klein's quartic in the four-dimensional (complex) projective plane using methods developed by Robert Bryant. As a consequence, we show that minimal surfaces with $9$ embedded planar ends do not…

Given a sphere of any radius $r$ in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, we study the coverings of this sphere with solid spheres of radius one. Our goal is to design a covering of the lowest covering density, which defines the average…

Spherical t-designs are Chebyshev-type averaging sets on the d-sphere S^d which are exact for polynomials of degree at most t. This concept was introduced in 1977 by Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel, who also found the minimum possible size…

In this short note, we review the well-known result that there is no orthogonal complex structure on the 6-sphere with respect to the round metric.

We study cubature formulas for d-dimensional integrals with an arbitrary symmetric weight function of tensor product form. We present a construction that yields a high polynomial exactness: for fixed degree l=5 or l=7 and large dimension,…

Recall that combinatorial $2s$-designs admit a classical lower bound $b \ge \binom{v}{s}$ on their number of blocks, and that a design meeting this bound is called tight. A long-standing result of Bannai is that there exist only finitely…

In an Euclidean $d$-space, the container problem asks to pack $n$ equally sized spheres into a minimal dilate of a fixed container. If the container is a smooth convex body and $d\geq 2$ we show that solutions to the container problem can…

This paper will devote to construct a family of fifth degree cubature formulae for $n$-cube with symmetric measure and $n$-dimensional spherically symmetrical region. The formula for $n$-cube contains at most $n^2+5n+3$ points and for…

In this paper, continuing our previous work, we investigate the third gap problem in the Simon conjecture for closed minimal surfaces in the unit sphere. By developing refined third-order Simons-type integral identities and establishing new…

The family of topologies that induce the Euclidean metric space on every time axis and every space axis exhibits no maximal element when partially ordered by the relation ``finer than'', as demonstrated in this article. One conclusion and…

This is an updated version of a paper which appeared in the proceedings of the 1979 Berlin Colloquium on Global Differential Geometry. This paper contains the original exposition together with some notes by the authors made in 2025 (as…

We exhibit tight contact structures on 3-manifolds that do not admit any symplectic fillings.

We present and apply a method for disproving the existence of polyhedral immersions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of certain triangulations on non-orientable surfaces. In particular, it is proved that neither of the two vertex-minimal, neighborly…

Spherical $t$-designs on $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ provide $N$ nodes for an equal weight numerical integration rule which is exact for all spherical polynomials of degree at most $t$. This paper considers the generation of…

I give an elementary proof that a quasi-symmetric design without repeated blocks on $v$ points has at most $v\choose2$ blocks, with equality if and only if it is a tight $4$-design.
