It is known that spheres have negative type, but only subsets with at most one pair of antipodal points have strict negative type. These are conditions on the (angular) distances within any finite subset of points. We show that subsets with…

We show that among antipodal $2d$-point configurations on the sphere $S^{d-1}$ in $\mathbb R^d$, the set of vertices of a regular cross-polytope inscribed in $S^{d-1}$ uniquely solves the best-covering problem (this is new for $d\geq 5$)…

The problem of interpolation at $(n+1)^2$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ by spherical polynomials of degree at most $n$ is proved to have a unique solution for several sets of points. The points are located on a number of circles…

Let $S$ be a set of $2n$ points on a circle such that for each point $p \in S$ also its antipodal (mirrored with respect to the circle center) point $p'$ belongs to $S$. A polygon $P$ of size $n$ is called \emph{antipodal} if it consists of…

We establish that if $d \geq 2k + 6$ and $q$ is odd and sufficiently large with respect to $\alpha \in (0,1)$, then every set $A\subseteq \mathbf{F}_q^d$ of size $|A| \geq \alpha q^d$ will contain an isometric copy of every spherical…

We classify $R$-spaces that admit a certain natural $\Gamma$-symmetric structure. We further determine the maximal antipodal sets of these structures.

Arrangement of interacting particles on a sphere is historically a well known problem, however, ordering of particles with anisotropic interaction, such as the dipole-dipole interaction, has remained unexplored. We solve the orientational…

This is a thorough investigation on the real $K$-theory of the sphere $S^d$ associated with the antipodal involution. We calculate the algebraic structure of real $K$-theory and united $K$-theory for all $d$, we write down explicit…

We construct, for every even dimensional sphere $S^n$, $n >1$, and every odd integer $k$, a homogeneous polynomial map $f: S^{n}\to S^{n}$ of Brouwer degree $k$ and algebraic degree $2|k|-1$.

We investigate several antipodal spherical designs on whether we can choose half of the points, one from each antipodal pair, such that they are balanced at the origin. In particular, root systems of type A, D and E, minimal points of Leech…

We give an explicit classification of maximal antipodal sets in any irreducible compact symmetric space except for spin groups and half spin groups, and some quotient symmetric spaces associated to them.

We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…

We characterize all possible relative positions between a hyperboloid of one sheet and a sphere through the roots of a characteristic polynomial associated to these quadrics. The classification is also suitable for a hyperboloid and a…

We determine the smallest size of a non-antipodal spherical design with harmonic indices $\{1,3,\dots,2m-1\}$ to be $2m+1$, where $m$ is a positive integer. This is achieved by proving an analogous result for interval designs.

We define a sextic invariant J on the seven-dimensional space of degree three spherical harmonics and show that J is positive if and only if the nodal set of the spherical harmonic contains the vertices of exactly two regular icosahedra.…

In this paper, we study maximal antipodal sets in simply connected exceptional compact symmetric spaces. Combining our results with the existing literature, we obtain a complete classification of maximal antipodal sets in all such spaces.…

We introduce an interpolation--regression operator for polynomial approximation on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ from discrete samples. The approximant is a spherical polynomial of degree $r$ which interpolates the data on a prescribed…

We consider embeddings of a finite complex in a sphere. We give a homotopy theoretic classification of such embeddings in a wide range.

In this paper, we will establish a general method of studying finite-dimensional normed spaces, and apply this method to classifying $3$-dimensional and $4$-dimensional normed spaces over a non-spherically complete field. For this purpose,…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of bad characteristic. We classify the spherical unipotent conjugacy classes of G. We also show that if the characteristic of k is 2, then the fixed point subgroup of…
