Motivated by potential applications in architecture, we study Darboux cyclides. These algebraic surfaces of order ≤ 4 are a superset of Dupin cyclides and quadrics, and they carry up to six real families of circles. Revisiting the classical approach to these surfaces based on the spherical model of 3D Möbius geometry, we provide computational tools for the identificiation of circle families on ...

Consider a sequence of point sets on S, where each set X is a spherical ndesign with m points, where m = O(n), and where the spherical distance between points of X is at least λ/ √ m, for some λ common to all sets of the sequence. For each X of such a sequence, the Coulomb energy E(X) is bounded by E(X) 6 1 2 m2 + O(m). The first term and the order of the second term are the same as for the bou...

This paper describes an approach of representing 3D shape by using a set of invariant Spherical Harmonic (SH) coefficients after conformal mapping. Specifically, a genus-zero 3D mesh object is first conformally mapped onto the unit sphere by using a modified discrete conformal mapping, where the modification is based on Möbius Factorization and is aimed at obtaining a canonical conformal mappin...

Two disordered models are considered: spherical model and non-interacting electron gas on lattice. The supersymmetry representation for correlation functions of these models is obtained. Using this representation the conngura-tional averaging can be performed before thermodynamical one and the problem of calculation of conngurationally averaged correlation functions of disordered spherical mode...

We show a numerical evidence that a tethered surface model with extrinsic curvature undergoes a first-order crumpling transition between the smooth phase and a nonsmooth phase on triangulated tori. The results obtained in this Letter together with the previous ones on spherical surfaces lead us to conclude that the tethered surface model undergoes a first-order transition on compact surfaces.

We strengthen previously applied polynomial techniques for investigation of spherical designs to obtain new bounds on inner products in some class of designs. This allows further improvements on the best known lower bounds for the minimum possible odd cardinality of designs of odd strength either in small dimensions and in certain asymptotic process.

Let N(n, t) be the minimal number of points in a spherical t-design on the unit sphere Sn in Rn+1. For each n ≥ 3, we prove a new asymptotic upper bound N(n, t) ≤ C(n)tn , where C(n) is a constant depending only on n, a3 ≤ 4, a4 ≤ 7, a5 ≤ 9, a6 ≤ 11, a7 ≤ 12, a8 ≤ 16, a9 ≤ 19, a10 ≤ 22, and an < n 2 log2 2n, n > 10.
