Parallelograms inscribed in a curve having a circle as π/2-isoptic

Andrzej Miernowski (2008)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as π/2-isoptics have the similar property.

Pointed k -surfaces

Graham Smith (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let S be a Riemann surface. Let 3 be the 3 -dimensional hyperbolic space and let 3 be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping ϕ : S 3 = ^ . If i : S 3 is a convex immersion, and if N is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, ı ^ , of i by ı ^ = N . Let n : U 3 3 be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem ( S , ϕ ) is a convex immersion i of constant Gaussian curvature equal to k ( 0 , 1 ) such that the Gauss lifting ( S , ı ^ ) is complete and n ı ^ = ϕ . In this paper, we show...

Polyèdres finis de dimension 2 à courbure 0 et de rang 2

Sylvain Barré (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

On définit localement la notion de polyèdre de rang deux pour un polyèdre fini de dimension deux à courbure négative ou nulle. On montre que le revêtement universel d’un tel espace est soit le produit de deux arbres, soit un immeuble de Tits euclidien de rang deux.

Polynomial functions on the classical projective spaces

Yu. I. Lyubich, O. A. Shatalova (2005)

Studia Mathematica

The polynomial functions on a projective space over a field = ℝ, ℂ or ℍ come from the corresponding sphere via the Hopf fibration. The main theorem states that every polynomial function ϕ(x) of degree d is a linear combination of “elementary” functions | x , · | d .
