Isometric imbeddings of Euclidean spaces into finite dimensional l p -spaces

Hermann König (1995)

Banach Center Publications

It is shown that l 2 n imbeds isometrically into l 4 n 2 + 1 provided that n is a prime power plus one, in the complex case. This and similar imbeddings are constructed using elementary techniques from number theory, combinatorics and coding theory. The imbeddings are related to existence of certain cubature formulas in numerical analysis.

Isometries of spaces of convex compact subsets of globally non-positively Busemann curved spaces

Thomas Foertsch (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider the Hausdorff metric on the space of compact convex subsets of a proper, geodesically complete metric space of globally non-positive Busemann curvature in which geodesics do not split, and characterize their surjective isometries. Moreover, an analogous characterization of the surjective isometries of the space of compact subsets of a proper, uniquely geodesic, geodesically complete metric space in which geodesics do not split is given.

Isometries of systolic spaces

Tomasz Elsner (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We provide a classification of isometries of systolic complexes corresponding to the classification of isometries of CAT(0)-spaces. We prove that any isometry of a systolic complex either fixes the barycentre of some simplex (elliptic case) or stabilizes a thick geodesic (hyperbolic case). This leads to an alternative proof of the fact that finitely generated abelian subgroups of systolic groups are undistorted.

Isonemality and mononemality of woven fabrics

Bohdan Zelinka (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper studies the diagrams of woven fabrics consisting of white and black squares as geometrical objects and described their symmetries. The concepts of isonemality and mononemality due to B. Grünbaum and G. C. Shephard are used. A conjecture of these authors is proved in a particular case.
