Exceptional units and Euclidean number fields

By a result of H.W. Lenstra, one can prove that a number field is Euclidean with the aid of exceptional units. We describe two methods computing exceptional sequences, i.e., sets of units such that the difference of any two of them is still a unit. The second method is based on a graph theory algorithm for the maximum clique problem. This yielded 42 new Euclidean number fields in degrees 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Received: 16 May 2006     

Convex Bodies in Exceptional Relative Positions

Two convex bodies K and K' in Euclidean space Eⁿ can be saidto be in exceptional relative position if they have a commonboundary point at which the linear hulls of their normal coneshave a non-trivial intersection. It is proved that the set ofrigid motions g for which K and gK' are in exceptional relativeposition is of Haar measure zero. A similar result holds trueif ‘exceptional relative position’ is defined viacommon supporting hyperplanes. Both results were conjecturedby S. Glasauer; they have applications in integral geometry.     

The Gauss map of pseudo‐algebraic minimal surfaces in R4

In this paper, we prove effective estimates for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number of the Gauss map for pseudo‐algebraic and algebraic minimal surfaces in Euclidean four‐space and give a kind of unicity theorem (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

On intersections of solvable Hall subgroups in finite simple exceptional groups of Lie type

It is proved that, if a Hall subgroup of an almost simple group whose socle is an exceptional group of Lie type is solvable, then there exist four groups conjugate to it whose intersection is trivial.     

Chirality in metric spaces

A definition of chirality based on group theory is presented. It is shown to be equivalent to the usual one in the case of Euclidean spaces, and it permits to define chirality in metric spaces which are not Euclidean.     

Exceptional points in the elliptic-hyperelliptic locus

An exceptional point in the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces is a unique surface class whose full automorphism group acts with a triangular signature. A surface admitting a conformal involution with quotient an elliptic curve is called elliptic-hyperelliptic; one admitting an anticonformal involution is called symmetric. In this paper, we determine, up to topological conjugacy, the full group of conformal and anticonformal automorphisms of a symmetric exceptional point in the elliptic-hyperelliptic locus. We determine the number of ovals of any symmetry of such a surface. We show that while the elliptic-hyperelliptic locus can contain an arbitrarily large number of exceptional points, no more than four are symmetric.     

A continuous version of the Hausdorff–Banach–Tarski paradox

We come up with a simple proof for a continuous version of the Hausdorff–Banach–Tarski paradox, which does not make use of Robinson’s method of compatible congruences and fits in the case of finite and countable paradoxical decompositions. It is proved that there exists a free subgroup whose rank is of the power of the continuum in a rotation group of a three-dimensional Euclidean space. We also argue that unbounded subsets of Euclidean space containing inner points are denumerably equipollent.     

Ornament Groups on a Minkowski Plane

We are engaged in classifying up to isomorphism of discrete subgroups of an affine transformation group on a plane (a two-dimensional space) preserving the Minkowski metric. It is proved that, for subgroups that do not coincide with Euclidean ones, the orbit of almost every point is everywhere dense.     

Equi-isoclinic planes of Euclidean spaces

In a Euclidean space, a p-set of equi-isoclinic planes is a set of p isoclinic planes of which each pair has the same non-zero angle.The Euclidean 4-space E⁴ contains a unique congruence class of quadruples of equi-isoclinic planes, whereas quintuples of equi-isoclinic planes do not exist in E⁴.In the following a method is given to derive sets of equi-isoclinic planes in Euclidean spaces. We find again the well-known sets of equi-isoclinic planes of E⁴. The quadruples of equi-isoclinic planes in E⁵ are derived. It turns out that E⁵ contains one congruence class of such quadruples which are not flat quadruples and one congruence class of quintuples of equi-isoclinic planes, whereas sextuples of equi-isoclinic planes do not exist in E⁵.It appears that the symmetry group of that quintuple is isomorphic to the symmetric group S₅.     

Optimal Mutual Location of Compact Sets in Spaces Endowed with Euclidean Invariant Gromov–Hausdorif Metric

Non–empty compact subsets of the Euclidean space located optimally (i.e., the Hausdorff distance between them cannot be decreased) are studied. It is shown that if one of them is a single point, then it is located at the Chebyshev center of the other one. Many other particular cases are considered too. As an application, it is proved that each three–point metric space cari be isometrically embedded into the orbit space of the group of proper motions acting on the compact subsets of the Euclidean space. In addition, it is proved that for each pair of optimally located compact subsets all intermediate compact sets in the sense of Hausdorff metric are also intermediate in the sense of Euclidean Gromov–Hausdorff metric.     

Remark on generalized Markov processes

It is shown that a multidimensional Markov process which is Euclidean invariant and so that the translation group acts ergodically is a constant. This is a (Euclidean) counterpart of a theorem by Wightman [6] and is inspired by the work of Nelson [1].     

Non-galois cubic fields which are euclidean but not norm-euclidean

Weinberger in 1973 has shown that under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, an algebraic number field with infinite unit group is Euclidean if and only if it is a principal ideal domain. Using a method recently introduced by us, we give two examples of cubic fields which are Euclidean but not norm--Euclidean.

     

Exceptional families of elements for a variational inequality problem

We introduce a new concept of an exceptional family of elements for a variational inequality problem (VIP) defined by a continuous function on a Euclidean space; and give the related existence theorems for the solution to the VIP.     

The deformation of flat connections and affine manifolds

Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold admits a flat, symmetric and complete connection. If the completeness assumption is dropped, the manifold is not necessarily obtained as the quotient of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous group of affine transformations. In fact the universal cover may no longer be the Euclidean space. The main result of this paper states that if a flat connection of a bundle can be properly deformed into a metric connection then its Euler class vanishes. This is a partial result toward an old question of Chern.

On the Exceptional Principal Bundles Over a Surface

Let G be a simple simply connected complex Lie group. Some criteriaare given for the nonexistence of exceptional principal G-bundlesover a complex projective surface. As an application, it isshown that there are no exceptional G-bundles over a surfacewhose arithmetic genus is zero or one. It is also shown thatthere are no stable exceptional G-bundles over an abelian surface.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 32L20, 14J60.     

Isolated exceptional Dehn surgeries on hyperbolic knots

For a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, at most finitely many Dehn surgeries yield non-hyperbolic manifolds. Such exceptional surgeries are classified into four types, lens space surgery, small Seifert fibered surgery, toroidal surgery and reducing surgery, according to the resulting manifolds. For each of the three types except reducing surgery, we give infinitely many hyperbolic knots with integral exceptional Dehn surgeries of the given type, whose adjacent integral surgeries are not exceptional.

On the maximal number of exceptional values of Gauss maps for various classes of surfaces

The main goal of this paper is to reveal the geometric meaning of the maximal number of exceptional values of Gauss maps for several classes of immersed surfaces in space forms, for example, complete minimal surfaces in the Euclidean three-space, weakly complete improper affine spheres in the affine three-space and weakly complete flat surfaces in the hyperbolic three-space. For this purpose, we give an effective curvature bound for a specified conformal metric on an open Riemann surface.     

Products of unit distance graphs

Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean plane (k-space) in such a (natural) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. We say that they have the unit distance property.The influence of graph operations on the unit distance property is discussed. It is proved that the Cartesian product preserves the unit distance property in the Euclidean plane, while graph union, join, tensor product, strong product, lexicographic product and corona do not. It is proved that the Cartesian product preserves the unit distance property also in higher dimensions.
