Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and metastable configurations correspond to…

A relationship between real, complex, and quaternionic vector fields on spheres is given by using a relationship between the corresponding standard inner products. The number of linearly independent complex vector fields on the standard…

We obtain the Kirillov vector fields on the set of functions $f$ univalent inside the unit disk, in terms of the Faber polynomials of $1/f(1/z)$. Our construction relies on the generating function for Faber polynomials.

We review a virial-type estimate which bounds the strength of interaction for a gas of $N$ hard spheres (billiard balls) dispersing into Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. This type of estimate has been known for decades in the context of…

We study the shortest vector lengths in module lattices over arbitrary number fields, with an emphasis on cyclotomic fields. In particular, we sharpen the techniques of arXiv:2308.15275v2 to establish improved results for the variance of…

For a compact spacelike constant mean curvature surface with nonempty boundary in the three-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space, we introduce a rotation index of the lines of curvature at the boundary umbilic point, which was developed by…

We discuss different generalizations of the classical notion of the index of a singular point of a vector field to the case of vector fields or 1-forms on singular varieties, describe relations between them and formulae for their…

This paper proves the following: A volume preserving vector field on a compact 3-manifold whose dual 2-form is exact can not generate uniquely ergodic dynamics unless its asymptotic linking number is zero.

The space of degree d single-variable monic and centered complex polynomial vector fields can be decomposed into loci in which the vector fields have the same topological structure. We analyze the geometric structure of these loci and…

The discrete group generated by reflections of the sphere, or Euclidean space, or hyperbolic space are said to be Coxeter groups of, respectively, spherical, or Euclidean, or hyperbolic type. The hyperbolic Coxeter groups are said to be…

This note provides an affirmative answer to a question of Viterbo concerning the existence of nondiffeomorphic contact forms that share the same Reeb vector field. Starting from an observation by Croke-Kleiner and Abbondandolo that such…

We consider four dimensional lie groups equipped with left invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the…

The expression for the variation of the area functional of the second fundamental form of a hypersurface in a Euclidean space involves the so-called "mean curvature of the second fundamental form". Several new characteristic properties of…

This paper investigates the geometry of canonically polarized surfaces defined over a field of positive characteristic which have a nontrivial global vector field, and the implications that the existence of such surfaces has in the moduli…

Given a unit vector field on a closed Euclidean hypersurface, we define a map from the hypersurface to a sphere in the Euclidean space. This application allows us to exhibit a list of topological invariants which combines the second…

An analysis of the one-loop vacuum fluctuations associated with a scalar field confined in the interior of a infinite waveguide of rectangular cross section is presented. We first consider the massless scalar field defined in a…

We derive new singular value decompositions and range characterizations for the X-ray transform on the Poincar\'e disk, intertwining relations with distinguished differential operators of wedge type, and a surjectivity result for the…

In this paper we study surfaces with minimal potential energy under gravitational forces, called singular minimal surfaces. We prove that a singular minimal ruled surface in a Euclidean $3-$space is cylindrical, in particular as an…

We study the moduli spaces of flat surfaces with prescribed conical singularities. Veech showed that these spaces are diffeomorphic to the moduli spaces of marked Riemann surfaces, and endowed with a natural volume form depending on the…

Let $\pi:X\to Y$ be an $n$-dimensional iterated Kodaira fibration with fiber of genus $g$ and injective monodromy. Llosa Isenrich and Py proved that we can pass to a finite index subgroup of $\pi_1(X)$ to get the base space of an…
