The Painlev\'e transcendents discovered at the turn of the XX century by pure mathematical reasoning, have later made their surprising appearance -- much in the way of Wigner's "miracle of appropriateness" -- in various problems of…

Consider a graph G with n vertices. In this paper we study geometric conditions for an n-tuple of points in R^d to admit a tensegrity with underlying graph G. We introduce and investigate a natural stratification, depending on G, of the…

We study Gibbs partitions that typically form a unique giant component. The remainder is shown to converge in total variation toward a Boltzmann-distributed limit structure. We demon- strate how this setting encompasses arbitrary weighted…

Following the approach of Grignani and Nardelli [1], we show how to cast the two-dimensional model $L \sim curv^2 + torsion^2 + cosm.const$ -- and in fact any theory of gravity -- into the form of a Poincare gauge theory. By means of the…

Let $G$ be the general linear group of the degree $n\geq 2$ over the field $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. In this article, we give a description of orbit decomposition of the multiple projective space $G^m/P^m$ under the diagonal…

In this paper we study geometric versions of Burnside's Problem and the von Neumann Conjecture. This is done by considering the notion of a translation-like action. Translation-like actions were introduced by Kevin Whyte as a geometric…

Given a planar pentagon, construct two new pentagons: the vertices of the first one are the intersection points of the diagonals of the original pentagon, and the vertices of the second one are the tangency points of the conic inscribed in…

We study simple wrinkled fibrations, a variation of the simplified purely wrinkled fibrations introduced by Williams, and their combinatorial description in terms of surface diagrams. We show that simple wrinkled fibrations induce handle…

We consider a discrete-time random motion, Markov chain on the Poincar\'{e} disk. In the basic variant of the model a particle moves along certain circular arcs within the disk, its location is determined by a composition of random…

The paper develops the stiffness relationship between the movements and forces among a system of discrete interacting grains. The approach is similar to that used in structural analysis, but the stiffness matrix of granular material is…

Shape formation is a basic distributed problem for systems of computational mobile entities. Intensively studied for systems of autonomous mobile robots, it has recently been investigated in the realm of programmable matter. Namely, it has…

A rotor configuration on a graph contains in every vertex an infinite ordered sequence of rotors, each is pointing to a neighbor of the vertex. After sampling a configuration according to some probability measure, a rotor walk is a…

We consider a physical system comprising discrete massive particles on the real line whose trajectories interact via perfectly inelastic collision, also known as sticky particles. It turns out that polygons formed in a convex "cumulative…

This paper is a study of the so-called `ricochet configuration' (or $R$-configuration) which arises in the context of Pascal's theorem. We give a geometric proof of the fact that a specific pair of Pascal lines is coincident for a sextuple…

Recently we studied $N$ run-and-tumble particles in one dimension - which switch with rate $\gamma$ between driving velocities $\pm v_0$ - interacting via the long range 1D Coulomb potential (also called rank interaction), both in the…

These are lecture notes for the course "Poisson geometry and deformation quantization" given by the author during the fall semester 2020 at the University of Zurich. The first chapter is an introduction to differential geometry, where we…

We present a technique to produce arrangements of lines with nice properties. As an application, we construct $(22_4)$ and $(26_4)$ configurations of lines. Thus concerning the existence of geometric $(n_4)$ configurations, only the case…

P. Buser and P. Sarnak showed in 1994 that the maximum, over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus s, of the least conformal length of a nonseparating loop, is logarithmic in s. We present an application of (polynomially) dense…

Hilbert famously showed that polynomials in n variables are not too complicated, in various senses. For example, the Hilbert Syzygy Theorem shows that the process of resolving a module by free modules terminates in finitely many (in fact,…

We show that infinitesimal automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations of parabolic geometries can be nicely described in terms of the twisted de-Rham sequence associated to a certain linear connection on the adjoint tractor bundle. For…
