The study classifies tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals.

problem Classifying edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals.

method Characterizes quadrilateral layouts as special immersions of a cut representation of the surface into the Euclidean plane.
result Mathematically describes and generalizes integer grid maps.

We interpret a normal surface in a (singular) three-manifold in terms of the homology of a chain complex. This allows us to study the relation between normal surfaces and their quadrilateral co-ordinates. Specifically, we give a proof of an (unpublished) observation independently given by Casson and Rubinstein saying t…

We investigate the relationship between stability and the existence of extremal Kähler metrics on certain toric surfaces. In particular, we consider how log stability depends on weights for toric surfaces whose moment polytope is a quadrilateral. We introduce a space of symplectic potentials for toric manifolds, which …

method Develops a fully explicit framework using harmonic diffeomorphisms and Weierstrass data.
result Constructs a unique minimal surface \(Σ^\diamond\) that maximizes Gaussian curvature.

We discuss discretization of Koenigs nets (conjugate nets with equal Laplace invariants) and of isothermic surfaces. Our discretization is based on the notion of dual quadrilaterals: two planar quadrilaterals are called dual, if their corresponding sides are parallel, and their non-corresponding diagonals are parallel.…

Let MM be a compact 3-manifold with a triangulation ττ. We give an inequality relating the Euler characteristic of a surface FF normally embedded in MM with the number of normal quadrilaterals in FF. This gives a relation between a topological invariant of the surface and a quantity derived from its combinatorial …

Normal and almost normal surfaces are essential tools for algorithmic 3-manifold topology, but to use them requires exponentially slow enumeration algorithms in a high-dimensional vector space. The quadrilateral coordinates of Tollefson alleviate this problem considerably for normal surfaces, by reducing the dimension …

We give two proofs that the 3-torus is not weakly d-congruent to the connected sum of three S^1xS^2's, if d>2. We study how cohomology ring structure relates to weak congruence. We give an example of three 3--manifolds which are weakly 5-congruent but are not 5-congruent.

The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this paper, we classify the simplest case, which is the edge-to-edge tilings of the 2-d…

result For almost all convex polygonal domains, there exist at most finitely many non-congruent domains with the same Steklov spectrum.

We study geometric consistency relations between angles on 3-dimensional (3D) circular quadrilateral lattices -- lattices whose faces are planar quadrilaterals inscribable into a circle. We show that these relations generate canonical transformations of a remarkable ``ultra-local'' Poisson bracket algebra defined on di…

We determine all the Q-fundamental surfaces in (p,1)(p,1)-lens spaces and (p,2)(p,2)-lens spaces with respect to natural triangulations with pp tetrahedra. For general (p,q)(p,q)-lens spaces, we give an upper bound for elements of vectors which represent Q-fundamental surfaces with no quadrilateral normal disks disjoint from t…

In this paper, we study strictly convex affine hypersurfaces centroaffinely congruent to their centre map, in the case when the shape operator has two distinct eigenvalues: one of multiplicity 1, and one nonzero of multiplicity n-1. We show how to construct them from (n-1)-dimensional affine hyperspheres.

method Analysis of characteristic polynomial and spectral properties of Steklov spectrum.
result Almost all triangles and certain quadrilaterals are uniquely determined by their Steklov spectra.

While conformal transformations of the plane preserve Laplace's equation, Lorentz-conformal mappings preserve the wave equation. We discover how simple geometric objects, such as quadrilaterals and pairs of crossing curves, are transformed under nonlinear Lorentz-conformal mappings. Squares are transformed into curvili…

result The class of isothermic nets is invariant under dualization and Moebius transformations.

We investigate the duality between minimal surfaces in Euclidean space and maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space in the family of rotational surfaces. We study if the dual surfaces of two congruent rotational minimal (or maximal) surfaces are congruent. We show that in the duality process by means of a one-parame…

Let K be a knot in the 3-sphere with 2-fold branched covering space M. If for some prime p congruent to 3 mod 4 the p-torsion in the first homology of M is cyclic with odd exponent, then K is of infinite order in the knot concordance group. As one application, recall that the n-twisted double of an arbitrary knot has o…

We consider the problem of finding the probability that a random triangle is obtuse, which was first raised by Lewis Caroll. Our investigation leads us to a natural correspondence between plane polygons and the Grassmann manifold of 2-planes in real nn-space proposed by Allen Knutson and Jean-Claude Hausmann. This cor…

We provide an explicit resolution of the Abreu equation on convex labeled quadrilaterals. This confirms a conjecture of Donaldson in this particular case and implies a complete classification of the explicit toric Kähler-Einstein and toric Sasaki-Einstein metrics constructed in [6,22,14]. As a byproduct, we obtain a we…
