Enumeration of loopless maps on the projective plane

In this paper we study the rooted loopless maps on the sphere and the projective plane with the valency of root-face and the number of edges as parameters. Explicit expression of enumerating function is obtained for such maps on the sphere and the projective plane. A parametric expression of the generating function is obtained for such maps on the projective plane, from which asymptotic evaluations are derived.

The number of nonseparable maps on the projective plane

In this paper, we study the rooted nonseparable maps on the sphere and the projective plane with the valency of root-face and the number of edges as parameters. Explicit expression of enumerating functions are obtained for such maps on the sphere and the projective plane. A parametric expression of the generating function is obtained for such maps on the projective plane, from which asymptotic evaluations are derived. Moreover, if the number of edges is sufficiently large, then almost all nonseparable maps on the projective plane are not triangulation.     

Hamiltonian Stationary Tori in the Complex Projective Plane

Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian surfaces are Lagrangian surfacesin a four-dimensional Kähler manifold which are criticalpoints of the area functional for Hamiltonian infinitesimaldeformations. In this paper we analyze these surfaces in thecomplex projective plane: in a previous work we showed thatthey correspond locally to solutions to an integrable system,formulated as a zero curvature on a (twisted) loop group. Herewe give an alternative formulation, using non-twisted loop groupsand, as an application, we show in detail why Hamiltonian stationaryLagrangian tori are finite type solutions, and eventually describethe simplest of them: the homogeneous ones. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 53C55 (primary), 53C42, 53C25, 58E12(secondary).     

A topological characterization of the ω-limit sets for analytic flows on the plane, the sphere and the projective plane

In this paper the ω-limit sets for analytic and polynomial differential equations on the plane are characterized up to homeomorphisms. The analogous problem is solved in full detail for analytic flows on the sphere and the projective plane. We also explain how to carry on the same program for analytic flows defined on open subsets of these surfaces.     

3-edge-connected embeddings have few singular edges

We show that a 3-edge-connected graph embedded in a surface of Euler characteristic χ has at most 3 – 3χ singular edges, except in the projective plane, where it has at most one singular edge, and the sphere, where it has none. This bound is best possible for all surfaces.     

Nonrevisiting paths on surfaces

The nonrevisiting path conjecture for polytopes, which is equivalent to the Hirsch conjecture, is open. However, for surfaces, the nonrevisiting path conjecture is known to be true for polyhedral maps on the sphere, projective plane, torus, and a Klein bottle. Barnette has provided counterexamples on the orientable surface of genus 8 and nonorientable surface of genus 16. In this note the question is settled for all the remaining surface except the connected sum of three copies of the projective plane.

The homeomorphism type of unital-like submanifolds in smooth projective planes

We prove that a compact, connected submanifold of the point space of a smooth projective plane is homeomorphic to a sphere provided that certain intersection properties with lines are satisfied. As an application, we show that the set of absolute points of a smooth polarity in a smooth projective plane of dimension 2l is empty or homeomorphic to a sphere of dimension 2l - 1 or .Received: 13 September 2002     

Rigidity of certain polyhedra in $ {\bold R}^3 $

We extend the Cauchy theorem stating rigidity of convex polyhedra in . We do not require that the polyhedron be convex nor embedded, only that the realization of the polyhedron in be linear and isometric on each face. We also extend the topology of the surfaces to include the projective plane in addition to the sphere. Our approach is to choose a convenient normal to each face in such a way that as we go around the star of a vertex the chosen normals are the vertices of a convex polygon on the unit sphere. When we can make such a choice at each vertex we obtain rigidity. For example, we can prove that the heptahedron is rigid. Received: March 3, 1999; revised: December 7, 1999.     

Realizability of singular levels of morse functions as unions of geodesies

The paper presents a list of special graphs of degree 4 with at most 3 vertices (atoms from the theory of integrable Hamiltonian systems) which could be represented by a union of closed geodesies in one of the following surfaces with a metric of constant curvature: sphere, projective plane, torus, and Klein bottle.     

CR Structures on the 3‐Sphere and the Blow‐Up of the Projective Plane

Motivated by a problem of characterizing CR‐structures on the 3‐sphere, we give a geometric construction of formal deformations of a complex surface, which is the complement of a ball in the projective plane. They are described by cohomology groups of the blow‐up X of the projective plane. Moreover it will be shown that the space of these formal deformations is an infinite dimensional space with a natural stratification by finite dimensional subspaces. This stratification re ects algebro‐geometric properties of X. It is expected that our construction will clarify the complex geometric nature of the space of non‐embeddable CR‐structures on the 3‐sphere.     

Orienting Triangulations

We prove that any triangulation of a surface different from the sphere and the projective plane admits an orientation without sinks such that every vertex has outdegree divisible by three. This confirms a conjecture of Barát and Thomassen and is a step toward a generalization of Schnyder woods to higher genus surfaces.     

2-connected coverings of bounded degree in 3-connected graphs

In a recent paper, Barnette showed that every 3-connected planar graph has a 2-connected spanning subgraph of maximum degree at most fifteen, he also constructed a planar triangulation that does not have 2-connected spanning subgraphs of maximum degree five. In this paper, we show that every 3-connected graph which is embeddable in the sphere, the projective plane, the torus or the Klein bottle has a 2-connected spanning subgraph of maximum degree at most six. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Vertex-transitive graphs and vertex-transitive maps

We consider vertex-transitive graphs embeddable on a fixed surface. We prove that all but a finite number of them admit embeddings as vertex-transitive maps on surfaces of nonnegative Euler characteristic (sphere, projective plane, torus, or Klein bottle). It follows that with the exception of the cycles and a finite number of additional graphs, they are factor graphs of semiregular plane tilings. The results generalize previous work on the genus of minimal Cayley graphs by V. Proulx and T. W. Tucker and were obtained independently by C. Thomassen, with significant differences in the methods used. Our method is based on an excursion into the infinite. The local structure of our finite graphs is studied via a pointwise limit construction, and the infinite vertex-transitive graphs obtained as such limits are classified by their connectivity and the number of ends. In two appendices, we derive a combinatorial version of Hurwitz's Theorem, and classify the vertex-transitive maps on the Klein bottle.     

Random Sequential Adsorption of Discs on Surfaces of Constant Curvature: Plane,Sphere, Hyperboloid,and Projective Plane

We present an algorithm to simulate random sequential adsorption (random “parking”) of discs on constant curvature surfaces: the plane, sphere, hyperboloid, and projective plane, all embedded in three-dimensional space. We simulate complete parkings efficiently by explicitly calculating the boundary of the available area in which discs can park and concentrating new points in this area. We use our algorithm to study the number distribution and density of discs parked in each space, where for the plane and hyperboloid we consider two different periodic tilings each. We make several notable observations: (1) on the sphere, there is a critical disc radius such the number of discs parked is always exactly four: the random parking is deterministic. We prove this statement and also show that random parking on the surface of a d-dimensional sphere would have deterministic behaviour at the same critical radius. (2) The average number of parked discs does not always monotonically increase as the disc radius decreases: on the plane (square with periodic boundary conditions), there is an interval of decreasing radius over which the average decreases. We give a heuristic explanation for this counterintuitive finding. (3) As the disc radius shrinks to zero, the density (average fraction of area covered by parked discs) appears to converge to the same constant for all spaces, though it is always slightly larger for a sphere and slightly smaller for a hyperboloid. Therefore, for parkings on a general curved surface we would expect higher local densities in regions of positive curvature and lower local densities in regions of negative curvature.     

Semistability of Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles via parabolic structures

Our aim in this article is to produce new examples of semistable Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles on smooth projective surfaces X using the notion of parabolic vector bundles. In particular, we associate natural parabolic structures to any rank two (dual) Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundle and study the parabolic stability of these parabolic bundles. We also show that the orbifold bundles on Kawamata coverings of X corresponding to the above parabolic bundles are themselves certain (dual) Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles. This gives semistable Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles on Kawamata covers of the projective plane and of certain K3 surfaces.

Die windschiefen Flächen mit einer stetigen Schar ebener Schattengrenzen I

Already in 1933J. Blank found all ruled surfaces with two conjugated families of plane shade lines. In the late sixtiesH. Brauner solved a similar problem by determining all algebraic surfaces with only one family of plane shade lines. — We consider here only differentiable ruled surfaces withBrauner's condition, that carry at least one continuous family of plane shade lines. By using methods of projective differential geometry, algebra and synthetic projective geometry, it is possible to find all projective representatives of those surfaces. Although the assumption ofBrauner is much weaker thanBlank's, each of these surfaces is an analytic, ruled surface ofBlank.

On the embedding of some linear spaces in finite projective planes

The problem of embedding of linear spaces in finite projective planes has been examined by several authors ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]). In particular, it has been proved in [1] that a linear space which is the complement of a projective or affine subplane of order m is embeddable in a unique way in a projective plane of order n. In this article, we give a generalization of this result by embedding linear spaces in a finite projective plane of order n, which are complements of certain regularA-affine linear spaces with respect to a finite projective plane.
