On four-colourings of the rational four-space.
Let be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi -expansion of unity which controls the set of -integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by , where is the Mahler measure of . The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers with classes called Q...
We are interested in Gaussian versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We prove in a streamlined way a semigroup version of the Ehrhard inequality for m Borel or convex sets based on a previous work by Borell. Our method also yields semigroup proofs of the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality and of its reverse form, which follow exactly the same lines.
The aim of the paper is to present three-variable generalizations of fuzzy metric spaces in sense of George and Veeramani from functional and topological points of view, respectively. From the viewpoint of functional generalization, we introduce a notion of generalized fuzzy 2-metric spaces, study their topological properties, and point out that it is also a common generalization of both tripled fuzzy metric spaces proposed by Tian et al. and -fuzzy metric spaces proposed by Sedghi and Shobe. Since...
Seeds of sunflowers are often modelled by leading to a roughly uniform repartition with seeds indexed by consecutive integers at angular distance for the golden ratio. We associate to such a map a geodesic path of the modular curve and use it for local descriptions of the image of the phyllotactic map .
We consider the problem of classifying the convex bodies in the 3-dimensional space depending on the differentiability of their associated quermassintegrals with respect to the one-parameter-depending family given by the inner/outer parallel bodies. It turns out that this problem is closely related to some behavior of the roots of the 3-dimensional Steiner polynomial.
Hyperbolic virtual polytopes arose originally as polytopal versions of counterexamples to the following A.D.Alexandrov’s uniqueness conjecture: Let K ⊂ ℝ3 be a smooth convex body. If for a constant C, at every point of ∂K, we have R 1 ≤ C ≤ R 2 then K is a ball. (R 1 and R 2 stand for the principal curvature radii of ∂K.) This paper gives a new (in comparison with the previous construction by Y.Martinez-Maure and by G.Panina) series of counterexamples to the conjecture. In particular, a hyperbolic...
The concept of separation by hyperplanes and halfspaces is fundamental for convex geometry and its tropical (max-plus) analogue. However, analogous separation results in max-min convex geometry are based on semispaces. This paper answers the question which semispaces are hyperplanes and when it is possible to “classically” separate by hyperplanes in max-min convex geometry.
