CAPS in Z(2,n)

Kurz, Sascha (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

We consider point sets in (Z^2,n) where no three points are on a line – also called caps or arcs. For the determination of caps with maximum cardinality and complete caps with minimum cardinality we provide integer linear programming formulations and identify some values for small n.

Caustics in Greek antiquity

Alain Joets (2008)

Banach Center Publications

The word caustic was introduced by Tschirnhausen in 1686, in the Latin expression caustica curva. We show that the study of the optical caustics goes back well before, at least to the hellenistic period. We present a small Greek text, whose author is perhaps Geminus (1st cent. B.C.), describing an optical phenomenon called achilles. We show that the term achilles, which has appeared only once, to our knowledge, in the literature, means caustics by reflection. We complete the description of the achilles...

Central Automorphisms of Veblenian Nearaffine Planes

Kinga Cudna-Lasecka, Jan Jakóbowski (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The paper deals with nearaffine planes described by H. A. Wilbrink. We consider their central automorphisms, i.e. automorphisms satisfying the Veblen condition, which become central collineations in connected projective planes. Moreover, a concept of central pseudo-automorphism is considered, i.e. some bijections in a nearaffine plane are not automorphisms but they become central collineations in the related projective planes.

Characterization of diffeomorphisms that are symplectomorphisms

Stanisław Janeczko, Zbigniew Jelonek (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let ( X , ω X ) and ( Y , ω Y ) be compact symplectic manifolds (resp. symplectic manifolds) of dimension 2n > 2. Fix 0 < s < n (resp. 0 < k ≤ n) and assume that a diffeomorphism Φ : X → Y maps all 2s-dimensional symplectic submanifolds of X to symplectic submanifolds of Y (resp. all isotropic k-dimensional tori of X to isotropic tori of Y). We prove that in both cases Φ is a conformal symplectomorphism, i.e., there is a constant c ≠0 such that Φ * ω Y = c ω X .
