Pentagramma mirificum and elliptic functions (Napier, Gauss, Poncelet, Jacobi, ...)

Vadim Schechtman (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We give an exposition of unpublished fragments of Gauss where he discovered (using a work of Jacobi) a remarkable connection between Napier pentagons on the sphere and Poncelet pentagons on the plane. As a corollary we find a parametrization in elliptic functions of the classical dilogarithm five-term relation.

Periodic integrals and tautological systems

Bong H. Lian, Ruifang Song, Shing-Tung Yau (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study period integrals of CY hypersurfaces in a partial flag variety. We construct a regular holonomic system of differential equations which govern the period integrals. By means of representation theory, a set of generators of the system can be described explicitly. The results are also generalized to CY complete intersections. The construction of these new systems of differential equations has lead us to the notion of a tautological system.

Permanence of moment estimates for p-products of convex bodies

Ulrich Brehm, Hendrik Vogt, Jürgen Voigt (2002)

Studia Mathematica

It is shown that two inequalities concerning second and fourth moments of isotropic normalized convex bodies in ℝⁿ are permanent under forming p-products. These inequalities are connected with a concentration of mass property as well as with a central limit property. An essential tool are certain monotonicity properties of the Γ-function.
