The class of traveling wave solutions of the sine-Gordon equation is known to be in 1-1 correspondence with the class of (necessarily singular) pseudospherical surfaces in Euclidean space with screw-motion symmetry: the pseudospherical…
Given a closed orientable Euclidean cone 3-manifold C with cone angles less than or equal to pi, and which is not almost product, we describe the space of constant curvature cone structures on C with cone angles less than pi. We establish a…
We prove that curves of constant curvature satisfy the parametric $C^1$-dense relative $h$-principle in the space of immersed curves with nonvanishing curvature in Euclidean space $R^{n\geq 3}$. It follows that two knots of constant…
For conic bundles on a smooth variety (over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$) which degenerate into pairs of distinct lines over geometric points of a smooth divisor, we prove a theorem which relates the Brauer class of the non-degenerate…
Thin shells are characterized by a high cost of stretching compared to bending. As a result isometries of the midsurface of a shell play a crucial role in their mechanics. In turn, curves with zero normal curvature play a critical role in…
In two former papers, the authors independently proved that the space of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds with cone angles less than 2{\pi} and fixed singular locus is locally parametrized by the cone angles. In this sequel, we investigate the…
In this paper we use a gradient flow to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of geodesic curvature in the $L^2$ sense. Given a smooth initial curve we show that the solution to the flow exists for all time and,…
There are exactly two different types of bi-dimensional improper affine spheres: the non-convex ones can be modeled by the center-chord transform of a pair of planar curves while the convex ones can be modeled by a holomorphic map. In this…
We describe a quantitative construction of almost-normal diffeomorphisms between embedded orientable manifolds with boundary to be used in the study of geometric variational problems with stratified singular sets. We then apply this…
Planes and circular cylinders are models of interfaces of a fluid when the support surface is translationally invariant in a direction of the space. After a study of the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator, it is investigated when planar…
In conformal differential geometry, there are some distinguished curves, often known as 'conformal circles,' since, on the round sphere, they are the round circles (and these are conformally invariant). But on the two-sphere, the curves of…
We consider isomonodromic deformations of connections with a simple pole on the torus, motivated by the elliptic version of the sixth Painlev\'e equation. We establish an extended symmetry, complementing known results. The Calogero-Moser…
This paper is a continuation of hepth/0507224 where open topological B-models describing D-branes on 2-cycles of local Calabi--Yau geometries with conical singularities were studied. After a short review, the paper expands in particular on…
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izbGXdjvK_I for a YouTube video showing part of the results in this paper.We will consider surfaces whose mean curvature at a point is a linear function of the square of the distance from that point to the…
This is the first in a series of three papers working towards constructing fibrations of compact Spin(7) manifolds by Cayley submanifolds. In this paper we describe the deformation theory of conically singular and asymptotically conical…
Folding a sheet of paper along a curve can lead to structures seen in decorative art and utilitarian packing boxes. Here we present a theory for the simplest such structure: an annular circular strip that is folded along a central circular…
In this paper we consider the isoperimetric profile of convex cylinders $K\times\mathbb{R}^q$, where $K$ is an $m$-dimensional convex body, and of cylindrically bounded convex sets, i.e, those with a relatively compact orthogonal projection…
We study the lubrication of fluid-immersed soft interfaces and show that elastic deformation couples tangential and normal forces and thus generates lift. We consider materials that deform easily, due to either geometry (e.g. a shell) or…
In this paper, we investigate sufficient condition for the invariance of a rectifying curve on a smooth surface immersed in Euclidean 3-space under isometry by using Darboux frame $\left\lbrace T, P, U\right\rbrace$. Further, we find the…
A central problem of geometry is the tiling of space with simple structures. The classical solutions, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons in the plane and cubes and other polyhedra in three-dimensional space are built with sharp…
