Pulli Kolam is an ancient mathematical artform that is still practiced today in south India by over a quarter million people. "Pulli" in the Tamil language means dots. A specific type of pulli kolam is "sikku" kolam where a series of dots…

Kolam is a ritual art form practised by people in South India and consists of rule-bound geometric patterns of dots and lines. Single loop Kolams are mathematical closed loop patterns drawn over a grid of dots and conforming to certain…

In south India, there are traditional patterns of line-drawings encircling dots, called ``Kolam'', among which one-line drawings or the ``infinite Kolam'' provide very interesting questions in mathematics. For example, we address the…

This study extends the mathematical framework of Hridaya Kolam patterns by applying modular arithmetic to even-ordered dot arrangements with arm counts co-prime to the number of dots. We analyze the resulting cyclic sequences that…

This paper extends Hridaya Kolam patterns to cases where the number of dots ($m$) and arms ($n$) are not coprime, i.e., $\gcd(m, n) \ne 1$. Such configurations give rise to multiple disjoint closed loops. We propose a…

Origami is an ancient art that continues to yield both artistic and scientific insights to this day. In 2012, Buhler, Butler, de Launey, and Graham extended these ideas even further by developing a mathematical construction inspired by…

Normalizing flows are a powerful tool for building expressive distributions in high dimensions. So far, most of the literature has concentrated on learning flows on Euclidean spaces. Some problems however, such as those involving angles,…

Origami and Kirigami, the famous Japanese art forms of paper folding and cutting, have inspired the design of novel materials & structures utilizing their geometry. In this article, we explore the geometry of the lesser known popup art,…

Origami is the art of folding paper into various patterns without cutting or tearing the paper. By viewing the paper as the complex plane, we iteratively compute and record all intersection points to construct mathematical origami sets.…

First we give a complex ball uniformization of the moduli space of 8 ordered points on the projective line by using the theory of periods of K3 surfaces. Next we give a projective model of this moduli space by using automorphic forms on a…

Curve stitching is a classic educational activity where one constructs elegant curves from a family of straight lines. We perform curve stitching around a circle to make a modular stitch graph. Take $m$ points equally spaced around a…

We present a universal crease pattern--known in geometry as the tetrakis tiling and in origami as box pleating--that can fold into any object made up of unit cubes joined face-to-face (polycubes). More precisely, there is one universal…

In architecture, city planning, visual arts, and other design areas, shapes are often made with points, or with structural representations based on point-sets. Shapes made with points can be understood more generally as finite arrangements…

This paper considers an extension of origami geometry to the case of "folding" a three dimensional (3D) space along a plane. First, all possible incidence constraints between given points, lines and planes are analyzed by using the geometry…

Structures like galaxies and filaments of galaxies in the Universe come about from the origami-like folding of an initially flat three-dimensional manifold in 6D phase space. The ORIGAMI method identifies these structures in a cosmological…

An algorithm to generate the locus of a circle using the intersection points of straight lines is proposed. The pixels on the circle are plotted independent of one another and the operations involved in finding the locus of the circle from…

This article explores the limits of geometric construction using various tools, both classical and modern. Starting with ruler and compass constructions, we examine how adding methods such as origami, marked rulers (neusis), conic sections,…

The objective is to find a Cellular Automata rule that can form a 2D point pattern with a maximum number of points (1-cells). Points are not allowed to touch each other, they have to be separated by 0-cells, and every 0-cell can find at…

We develop recursion equations to describe the three-dimensional shape of a sheet upon which a series of concentric curved folds have been inscribed. In the case of no stretching outside the fold, the three-dimensional shape of a single…

Origami and kirigami have emerged as potential tools for the design of mechanical metamaterials whose properties such as curvature, Poisson ratio, and existence of metastable states can be tuned using purely geometric criteria. A major…
