Geometry of configuration spaces of tensegrities

Consider a graph G with n vertices. In this paper we study geometric conditions for an n-tuple of points in R^d to admit a tensegrity with underlying graph G. We introduce and investigate a natural stratification, depending on G, of the configuration space of all n-tuples in R^d. In particular we find surgeries on graphs that give relations between different strata. Based on numerous examples we give a description of geometric conditions defining the strata for plane tensegrities, we conjecture that the list of such conditions is sufficient to describe any stratum. We conclude the paper with particular examples of strata for tensegrities in the plane with a small number of vertices.

Elementary notions of lattice trigonometry

In this paper we study properties of lattice trigonometric functions of lattice angles in lattice geometry. We introduce the definition of sums of lattice angles and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for three angles to be the angles of some lattice triangle in terms of lattice tangents. This condition is a version of the Euclidean condition: three angles are the angles of some triangle iff their sum equals π. Further we find the necessary and sufficient condition for an ordered n-tuple of angles to be the angles of some convex lattice polygon. In conclusion we show applications to theory of complex projective toric varieties, and a list of unsolved problems and questions.

On invariant Mobius measure and Gauss-Kuzmin face distribution

There exists and is unique up to multiplication by a constant function a form of the highest dimension on the manifold of n-dimensional continued fractions in the sense of Klein, such that the form is invariant under the natural action of the group of projective transformations PGL(n+1). A measure corresponding to the integral of such form is called a Mobius measure. In the present paper we deduce an explicit formulae to calculate invariant forms in special coordinates. These formulae allow to give answers to some statistical questions of theory of multidimensional continued fractions. As an example, we show in this work the results of approximate calculations of frequencies for certain two-dimensional faces of two-dimensional continued fractions.

Completely empty pyramids on integer lattices and two-dimensional faces of multidimensional continued fractions

In this paper we develop an integer-affine classification of three-dimensional multistory completely empty convex marked pyramids. We apply it to obtain the complete lists of compact two-dimensional faces of multidimensional continued fractions lying in planes with integer distances to the origin equal 2, 3, 4 ... The faces are considered up to the action of the group of integer-linear transformations. In conclusion we formulate some actual unsolved problems associated with the generalizations for n-dimensional faces and more complicated face configurations.

On examples of difference operators for $\{0,1\}$-valued functions over finite sets

Recently V.I.Arnold have formulated a geometrical concept of monads and apply it to the study of difference operators on the sets of $\{0,1\}$-valued sequences of length $n$. In the present note we show particular examples of these monads and indicate one question arising here.

Approximating reals by rationals of the form a/b^2

In this note we formulate some questions in the study of approximations of reals by rationals of the form a/b^2 arising in theory of Shr"odinger equations. We hope to attract attention of specialists to this natural subject of number theory.

Combinatorics of multiboundary singularities B_n^l and Bernoulli-Euler numbers

Consider generalizations of the boundary singularities B_n of the functions on the real line to the case where the boundary consists of a finite number of l points. These singularities B_n^l could also arise in higher dimensional case, when the boundary is an immersed hypersurface. We obtain a particular recurrent equation on the numbers of connected components of very nice M-morsification spaces of the multiboundary singularities B_n^l. This helps us to express the numbers K_n^l (for l=2,3,4...) by Bernoulli-Euler numbers. We also find the corresponding generating functions.

Three examples of three-dimensional continued fractions in the sense of Klein

The problem of investigation of the simplest n-dimensional continued fraction in the sense of Klein for n>2 was posed by V.Arnold. The answer for the case of n=2 can be found in the works of E.Korkina and G.Lachaud. In present work we study the case of n=3.

Mobius energy of graphs

In the present paper we introduce Mobius energy for the embedded graphs and formulate its main properties. This energy is invariant under the action of the group generated by all inversions in three-dimensional real space. We study critical configurations for the angles at vertices of degree less than five, and discuss the techniques of construction of symmetric toric embedded graphs with critical values of Mobius energy.
