Inspired by the human visual perception system, hexagonal image processing in the context of machine learning deals with the development of image processing systems that combine the advantages of evolutionary motivated structures based on biological models. While conventional state-of-the-art image processing systems o…

Study of graphs from hexagon decompositions of surfaces.

In the paper, we consider the rigidity problem of the infinite hexagonal triangulation of the plane under the piecewise linear conformal changes introduced by Luo in [5]. Our result shows that if a geometric hexagonal triangulation of the plane is PL conformal to the regular hexagonal triangulation and all inner angles…

Paper proves rigidity of Doyle spirals in hexagonal lattice circle packings.

We study the geometry of oriented right-angled hexagons in H^4, the hyperbolic 4-space, via Clifford numbers or quaternions. We show how to augment alternate sides of such a hexagon so that for the non-augmented sides, we can define quaternion half side-lengths whose angular parts are obtained from half the Euler angle…

The study examines polyhedra with hexagonal and triangular faces, focusing on their 3-regular planar graphs.

Hexagonal norm double bubble problem solved with minimal configurations.

The theory of geometric structures on a surface with nonempty boundary can be developed by using a decomposition of such a surface into hexagons, in the same way as the theory of geometric structures on a surface without boundary is developed using the decomposition of such a surface into pairs of pants. The basic elem…

Improved bounds for knot crossings in different mosaic patterns.

The paper analyzes how grid cells perform path integration and learns hexagon grid patterns.

We provide a complete classification of hexagonal singular 3-web germs in the complex plane, satisfying the following two conditions: 1) the Chern connection remains holomorphic at the singular point, 2) the web admits at least one infinitesimal symmetry at this point. As a by-product, a classification of hexagonal wei…

For a positive integer $n\ge 3$, the collection of $n$-sided polygons embedded in $3$-space defines the space of geometric knots. We will consider the subspace of equilateral knots, consisting of embedded $n$-sided polygons with unit length edges. Paths in this space determine isotopies of polygons, so path-components …

The effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks stems in large part from their ability to exploit the translation invariance that is inherent in many learning problems. Recently, it was shown that CNNs can exploit other invariances, such as rotation invariance, by using group convolutions instead of planar convoluti…

Research finds bounds for knots in hexagonal lattice and classifies 11-stick knots.

We show the rigidity of the hexagonal Delaunay triangulated plane under Luo's PL conformality. As a consequence, we obtain a rigidity theorem for a particular type of locally finite convex ideal hyperbolic polyhedra.

Proves rigidity of circle packings in the plane, generalizing previous work.

The Phi- relationship also known as Phi-factor appears in a number of lattice structures, mostly considering the lines within several separate circles or polygons. The paper considers a regular hexagonal tessellation as a lattice with the highest specific mechanical stiffness.

New geometric perspective for optimal learning on hexagonal structures.

Hexagonal tilings minimize perimeter with unequal volumes.

We give an infinite family of knots such that for any given $r \geq 3$, the family contains a knot which can be embedded on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic, but cannot fit on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic in an embedding that achieves its crossing number. This extends the rectangular mosaic result of Ludwig, Evans, and Paat. We also i…

This paper proposes grid cells encode position via a conformal isometric embedding of 2D physical space.

We study the configuration space of equilateral and equiangular spatial hexagons for any bond angle by giving explicit expressions of all the possible shapes. We show that the chair configuration is isolated, whereas the boat configuration allows one-dimensional deformations which form a circle in the configuration spa…

For each right-angled hexagon in the hyperbolic plane, we construct a one-parameter family of right-angled hexagons with a Lipschitz map between any two elements in this family, realizing the smallest Lipschitz constant in the homotopy class of this map relative to the boundary. As a consequence of this construction, w…

We study the motion of discrete interfaces driven by ferromagnetic interactions on the two-dimensional triangular lattice by coupling the Almgren, Taylor and Wang minimizing movements approach and a discrete-to-continuum analysis, as introduced by Braides, Gelli and Novaga in the pioneering case of the square lattice. …

Hexagonal diagrams link complex curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ to minimal genus surfaces.

There is a natural generalization of domino tilings to tilings of a polygon by hexagons, or, dually, configurations of oriented curves that meet in triples. We show exactly when two such tilings can be connected by a series of moves analogous to the domino flip move. The triple diagrams that result have connections to …

The paper studies how grid cell patterns emerge in neural networks.

We prove that a surface carries a hexagonal 3-web of geodesics if and only if the geodesic flow on the surface admits a cubic first integral and show that the system of partial differential equations, governing metrics on such surfaces, is integrable by generalized hodograph transform method. We present some new local …

A tiling of the sphere by triangles, squares, or hexagons is convex if every vertex has at most 6, 4, or 3 polygons adjacent to it, respectively. Assigning an appropriate weight to any tiling, our main result is explicit formulas for the weighted number of convex tilings with a given number of tiles. To prove these for…

It is known that every nontrivial knot has at least two quadrisecants. Given a knot, we mark each intersection point of each of its quadrisecants. Replacing each subarc between two nearby marked points with a straight line segment joining them, we obtain a polygonal closed curve which we will call the quadrisecant appr…

The Ollivier Ricci flow with prescribed curvature on infinite graphs.

We prove that every spherical football (also known as a spherical soccer ball) is a branched cover, branched only in the vertices, of the standard football made up of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. We also give examples showing that the corresponding result is not true for footballs of higher genera. Moreover, we classi…

We generalize arc coordinates for maximal representations on a pair of pants.

Hexagon grid patterns emerge from conformal isometry in grid cell neural networks.

Drinfeld associator is a key tool in computing the Kontsevich integral of knots. A Drinfeld associator is a series in two non-commuting variables, satisfying highly complicated algebraic equations - hexagon and pentagon. The logarithm of a Drinfeld associator lives in the Lie algbera L generated by the symbols a,b,c mo…

A note on the uniqueness of differential characters and K-theory via homological algebra.

Solutions of an implicit ODE form a web. Already for cubic ODEs the 3-web of solutions has a nontrivial local invariant, namely the curvature form. Thus any local classification of implicit ODEs necessarily has functional moduli if no restriction on the class of ODEs is imposed. Here the most symmetric case of hexagona…

We consider two random group models: the hexagonal model and the square model, defined as the quotient of a free group by a random set of reduced words of length four and six respectively. Our first main result is that in this model there exists a sharp density threshold for Kazhdan's Property (T) and it equals 1/3. Ou…

Formula counts all fullerenes with given vertices.

A zigzag in a plane graph is a circuit of edges, such that any two, but no three, consecutive edges belong to the same face. A railroad in a plane graph is a circuit of hexagonal faces, such that any hexagon is adjacent to its neighbors on opposite edges. A graph without a railroad is called tight. We consider the zigz…

We show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are quadrangles and pentagons for each orientable genus $g \geq 0$. We also show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are hexagons for each orientable genus $g = 2k-1$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$. We enumerate centrally …

We define a hybrid between Ollvier and Bakry Emery curvature on graphs with dependence on a variable neighborhood. The hexagonal lattice is non-negatively curved under this new curvature notion. Bonnet-Myers diameter bounds and Lichnerowicz eigenvalue estimates follow from the standard arguments. We prove gradient esti…
