Simplicial types and polynomial algebras

Francisco Gómez (2002)

Archivum Mathematicum

This paper shows that the simplicial type of a finite simplicial complex K is determined by its algebra A of polynomial functions on the baricentric coordinates with coefficients in any integral domain. The link between K and A is done through certain admissible matrix associated to K in a natural way. This result was obtained for the real numbers by I. V. Savel’ev [5], using methods of real algebraic geometry. D. Kan and E. Miller had shown in [2] that A determines the homotopy type of the polyhedron...

Singularities and normal forms of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds

B. Jakubczyk, M. Zhitomirskiĭ (1995)

Studia Mathematica

We give a complete classification of germs of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds. By a 2-distribution we mean either a module generated by two vector fields (at singular points its dimension decreases) or a Pfaff equation, i.e. a module generated by a differential 1-form (at singular points the dimension of its kernel increases).

Size minimizing surfaces

Thierry De Pauw (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove a new existence theorem pertaining to the Plateau problem in 3 -dimensional Euclidean space. We compare the approach of E.R. Reifenberg with that of H. Federer and W.H. Fleming. A relevant technical step consists in showing that compact rectifiable surfaces are approximatable in Hausdorff measure and in Hausdorff distance by locally acyclic surfaces having the same boundary.
