Study on Laplacian determinant in isosceles triangles, finding equilateral triangle minimizes determinant.

In this paper we study the area of ideals triangles in a convex domain with its Hilbert geometry. We obtain a characterization of the hyperbolic geometry among all the Hilbert geometry in terms of area of ideals triangles. We also obtain a sharp lower bound on the hilbert area of ideal triangles, independant of the con…

It is well known that the area $U$ of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola $X$ is half of the area $T$ of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. In this article, we study some properties of $U$ and $T$ for strictly convex plane curves. As a result, we establish a characterization for par…

A formula for triangle area in Deep Sets form.

We prove, in the context of Hilbert geometry, the equivalence between the existence of an upper bound on the area of ideal triangles and the Gromov-hyperbolicity.

It is well known that the area $U$ of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola $X$ is half of the area $T$ of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. In this article, we consider whether this property and similar ones characterizes parabolas. As a result, we present three conditions which are…

New method finds lattice polygons that can be dissected into triangles with integer areas.

We establish the equivalence of the Tuynman midpoint area formula for a spherical triangle to the classical area formulas of Euler and of Cagnoli. The derivation also yields a variant of the Cagnoli formula in terms of the medial triangle. We introduce the three barycentric coordinates of a point within the spherical t…

On certain manifolds, the phase which appears in the scalar product of two coherent state vectors is twice the symplectic area of the geodesic triangle determined by the corresponding points on the manifold and the origin of the system of coordinates. This result is proved for compact Hermitian symmetric spaces using t…

The area of a convex projective surface of genus $g\ge 2$ is at least $(g-1)π^2/2+\|τ\|^2/8$ where $τ=(\log t_i)$ is the vector of triangle invariants of Bonahon-Dreyer and $t_i$ are the Fock-Goncharov triangle coordinates.

Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $ΔABP$, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord $AB$. Recently, this property of parabolas was proved to be a characteristic property of parabolas. With…

For k>6, we determine the minimal area of a compact hyperbolic surface, and an oriented compact hyperbolic surface that can be tiled by embedded regular triangles of angle 2π/k. Based on this, all the cases of equality in Laszlo Fejes Toth's triangle bound for hyperbolic surfaces are described.

Study orbits in right triangles, deducing periodic billiard paths and classifying orbit closures.

Let $M$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, and let $ω$ be its Kähler form. For a triplet $(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ of points in $M$ we study conditions under which a geodesic triangle $\mathcal T(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ with vertices $p_1,p_2,p_3$ can be unambiguously defined. We consider the integral $A(p_1,p_2,…

Formula found for probability of random triangles on flat tori being homotopically trivial.

Let $M$ be either the 2-sphere $\SS^2 \subset\RR^3$ or the hyperbolic plane $\HH^2 \subset \RR^3$. If $Δ(abc)$ is a geodesic triangle on $M$ with corners at $a,b,c\in M$, we denote by $α, β, γ\in M$ the midpoints of their sides. If $Ω$ denotes the oriented area of this triangle on $M$, it satisfies the relations: $$ \s…

Maps between acute triangles with minimal stretch found and studied.

We develop a theory of planar, origin-symmetric, convex domains that are inextensible with respect to lattice covering, that is, domains such that augmenting them in any way allows fewer domains to cover the same area. We show that origin-symmetric inextensible domains are exactly the origin-symmetric convex domains wi…

Archimedes knew that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $ΔABP$ where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to $AB$. We consider whether this property (and similar ones) characterizes parabolas. We present five conditions which …

We study the SL(2,R)-infimal lengths of simple closed curves on half-translation surfaces. Our main result is a characterization of Veech surfaces in terms of these lengths. We also revisit the "no small virtual triangles" theorem of Smillie and Weiss and establish the following dichotomy: the virtual triangle area spe…

In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth curves almost uniformly with respect to affine length, convex equal-area polygo…

Ancient formula connects volume forms and infinitesimal square volumes in manifolds.

Using a ramified cover of the two-sphere by the torus, we prove a local optimal inequality between the diastole and the area on the two-sphere near a singular metric. This singular metric, made of two equilateral triangles glued along their boundary, has been conjectured by E. Calabi to achieve the best ratio area over…

Algorithm reconstructs triangle-free networks from data, certifying correctness.

The paper studies the convex hull of random points in a triangle, focusing on the asymptotic behavior and phase transitions.

We prove that any two finite-area non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces S and T have finite covers that are arbitrarily close in the normalized Weil-Petersson metric, where we normalize by dividing the square of the metric by the area of the surface. In the case where T is the modular surface this reduces to showing …

We develop a transitional geometry, that is, a family of geometries of constant curvatures which makes a continuous connec-tion between the hyperbolic, Euclidean and spherical geometries. In this transitional setting, several geometric entities like points, lines, dis-tances, triangles, angles, area, curvature, etc. as…

We construct the hyperbolic plane with its geodesic flow as the scale plus symmetry reduction of a three-body problem in the Euclidean plane. The potential is $-I/Δ^2$ where $I$ is the triangle's moment of inertia and $Δ$ its area. The reduction method uses the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric, following the author's earlier p…

The paper solves pentagon equations using triangulations and edge transformations.

Recently, F. Balacheff proved that the Calabi-Croke sphere made of two flat 1-unit-side equilateral triangles glued along their boundaries is a local extremum for the length of the shortest closed geodesic among the Riemannian spheres with conical singularities of fixed area. We give an alternative proof of this theore…

A totally geodesic map $f:\mathcal X_1\to\mathcal X_2$ between Hermitian symmetric spaces is tight if its image contains geodesic triangles of maximal area. Tight maps were first introduced in [BIW09], and were classified in [Ham13, Ham14, HO14] in the case of irreducible domain. We complete the classification by analy…

In this paper, we generalize our results in \cite{GX3} to triangulated surfaces in hyperbolic background geometry, which means that all triangles can be embedded in the standard hyperbolic space. We introduce a new discrete Gaussian curvature by dividing the classical discrete Gauss curvature by an area element, which …

Napoleonic triangles don't exist in hyperbolic geometry.

For simple Lie groups, the only homogeneous manifolds $G/K$, where $K$ is maximal compact subgroup,for which the phase of the scalar product of two coherent state vectors is twice the symplectic area of a geodesic triangle are the hermitian symmetric spaces. An explicit calculation of the multiplicative factor on the c…

New method shows any triangle group generating pair is related to special coverings.

Complex hyperbolic triangle groups were first considered by Mostow in building the first nonarithmetic lattices in PU(2, 1). They are a natural generalization of the classical triangle groups acting on the hyperbolic plane. A well-known theorem of Takeuchi is that there are only finitely many Fuchsian triangle groups t…
