New index theory proves Gromov's dihedral conjectures.

Polyhedral surfaces are fundamental objects in architectural geometry and industrial design. Whereas closeness of a given mesh to a smooth reference surface and its suitability for numerical simulations were already studied extensively, the aim of our work is to find and to discuss suitable assessments of smoothness of…

In this paper, we determine the canonical polyhedral decomposition of every hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundle over the circle. In fact, we show that the only ideal polyhedral decomposition that is straight in the hyperbolic structure and that is invariant under a certain involution is the ideal triangulation defin…

In this paper we answer positively a question raised by Kapovich and Leeb in a paper titled "Finsler bordifications of symmetric and certain locally symmetric spaces". Specifically, we show that for a finite-dimensional vector space with a polyhedral norm, its horofunction compactification is homeomorphic to the dual u…

The holy grail of deep learning is to come up with an automatic method to design optimal architectures for different applications. In other words, how can we effectively dimension and organize neurons along the network layers based on the computational resources, input size, and amount of training data? We outline prom…

Deep learning has received much attention lately due to the impressive empirical performance achieved by training algorithms. Consequently, a need for a better theoretical understanding of these problems has become more evident in recent years. In this work, using a unified framework, we show that there exists a polyhe…

We develop a method to find a set of diminimal polyhedral maps on the torus from which all other polyhedral maps on the torus may be generated by face splitting and vertex splitting. We employ this method, though not to its completion, to find 53 diminimal polyhedral maps on the Torus.

We study hyperbolic polyhedral surfaces with faces isometric to regular hyperbolic polygons satisfying that the total angles at vertices are at least $2π.$ The combinatorial information of these surfaces is shown to be identified with that of Euclidean polyhedral surfaces with negative combinatorial curvature everywher…

A discrete conformality for polyhedral metrics on surfaces is introduced in this paper which generalizes earlier work on the subject. It is shown that each polyhedral metric on a surface is discrete conformal to a constant curvature polyhedral metric which is unique up to scaling. Furthermore, the constant curvature me…

A polyhedral map is called $\{p, q\}$-equivelar if each face has $p$ edges and each vertex belongs to $q$ faces. In 1983, it was shown that there exist infinitely many geometrically realizable $\{p, q\}$-equivelar polyhedral maps if $q > p = 4$, $p > q = 4$ or $q - 3 > p = 3$. It was shown in 2001 that there exist infi…

In this article we introduce the notion of Polyhedral Kahler manifolds, even dimensional polyhedral manifolds with unitary holonomy. We concentrate on the 4-dimensional case, prove that such manifolds are smooth complex surfaces, and classify the singularities of the metric. The singularities form a divisor and the res…

We present and apply a method for disproving the existence of polyhedral immersions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of certain triangulations on non-orientable surfaces.
