With the help of hyper-ideal circle pattern theory, we have developed a discrete version of the classical uniformization theorems for surfaces represented as finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere as well as compact polyhedral…

For any delta > 1 we construct a periodic and locally finite packing of the plane with ellipses whose delta-enlargement covers the whole plane. This answers a question of Imre B\'ar\'any. On the other hand, we show that if C is a packing in…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the unit square $[0,1]^2$, one of which is the origin. We construct $n$ pairwise interior-disjoint axis-aligned empty rectangles such that the lower left corner of each rectangle is a point in $S$, and the…

We prove that a bounded linear Hilbert space operator has the unit circle in its essential approximate point spectrum if and only if it admits an orbit satisfying certain orthogonality and almost-orthogonality relations. This result is…

The theory of bi-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to…

This paper investigates a generalized hyperbolic circle packing (including circles, horocycles or hypercycles) with respect to the total geodesic curvatures on the surface with boundary. We mainly focus on the existence and rigidity of…

A Lie-algebraic approach successfully used to describe one-dimensional Bloch oscillations in a tight-binding approximation is extended to two dimensions. This extension has the same algebraic structure as the one-dimensional case while the…

Let P be a locally finite circle packing in the plane invariant under a non-elementary Kleinian group Gamma and with finitely many Gamma-orbits. When Gamma is geometrically finite, we construct an explicit Borel measure on the plane which…

On negatively curved compact manifolds, it is possible to associate to every closed form a bounded cocycle - hence a bounded cohomology class - via integration over straight simplices. The kernel of this map is contained in the space of…

Predicting theoretically the highest density, which a disordered packing of discs can achieve, has been a long-standing unresolved problem. Such predictions are hindered by two difficulties - the dependence of the density on the packing…

We prove the uniqueness, up to diffeomorphism, of symplectically aspherical fillings of the unit cotangent bundle of odd-dimensional spheres. As applications, we first show the non-existence of exact symplectic cobordisms between some…

In this expository article, we present a number of classic theorems that serve to identify the closure in the sup-norm of various sets of Blaschke products, inner functions and their quotients, as well as the closure of the convex hulls of…

We study the problem of covering a given point set in the plane by unit disks so that each point is covered exactly once. We prove that 17 points can always be exactly covered. On the other hand, we construct a set of 657 points where an…

An open problem of Manuel Abellanas asks whether every set of disjoint closed unit disks in the plane can be connected by a conveyor belt, which means a tight simple closed curve that touches the boundary of each disk, possibly multiple…

In [BL] in relation to the unsolved Bang's plank problem (1951) we obtained a lower bound for the sum of relevant measures of cylinders covering a given d-dimensional convex body. In this paper we provide the packing counterpart of these…

We study circle packings with the combinatorics of a triangulated disk in the plane and parametrize deformations of circle packings in terms of vertex rotation and cross ratios. We show that there is a Weierstrass representation formula…

For any given natural number $k$, this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by $k$ equal-radius disks in terms of the surface's topology. We show that the bounds given here are…

The notion of random close packings of a bulk static collection of ball bearings or sand grains was introduced in the 1960's by G.D. Scott and J.D. Bernal. There have been numerous attempts to understand the packings. We give a short…

Kn-band images, unsharp-masked images, as well as major-axis and vertically- summed surface brightness profiles are presented for 30 edge-on spiral galaxies, most with a boxy or peanut-shaped (B/PS) bulge. Such galaxies have more complex…

Let X be a closed surface of genus two embedded in the 3-sphere. Then X inherits a metric and an orientation, which give an almost complex structure, which automatically integrates to a genuine complex structure, making X a Riemann surface.…
