Tripod configurations of plane curves, formed by certain triples of normal lines coinciding at a point, were introduced by Tabachnikov, who showed that C2 closed convex curves possess at least two tripod configurations. Later, Kao and Wang established the existence of tripod configurations for C2 closed locally c…

We establish the Gaussian Multi-Bubble Conjecture: the least Gaussian-weighted perimeter way to decompose Rn into q cells of prescribed (positive) Gaussian measure when 2≤q≤n+1, is to use a "simplicial cluster", obtained from the Voronoi cells of q equidistant points. Moreover, we prove that…
We use the consistency approach to classify discrete integrable 3D equations of the octahedron type. They are naturally treated on the root lattice Q(A3) and are consistent on the multidimensional lattice Q(AN). Our list includes the most prominent representatives of this class, the discrete KP equation and its S…
