We will assume that all categories are small, i.e. the class of objects Ob(C) in a category C is a set. A small category can be defined by two sets Mor(C) and Ob(C) together with two maps s, t : Mor(C) → Ob(C) defined by the source and the target of a morphism. There is a section e : Ob(C) → Mor(C) for both maps defined by the identity morphism. We identify Ob(C) with its image under e. The composition of morphisms is a map c : Mor(C) ×s,t Mor(C) → Mor(C). There are obvious properties of the maps (s, t, e, c) expressing the axioms of associativity and the identity of a category. For any A, B ∈ Ob(C) we denote −1 −1 by MorC(A, B) the subset s (A) ∩ t (B) and we denote by idA the element e(A) ∈ MorC(A, A).

  • Framing Cyclic Revolutionary Emergence of Opposing Symbols of Identity Eppur Si Muove: Biomimetic Embedding of N-Tuple Helices in Spherical Polyhedra - /
    Alternative view of segmented documents via Kairos 23 October 2017 | Draft Framing Cyclic Revolutionary Emergence of Opposing Symbols of Identity Eppur si muove: Biomimetic embedding of N-tuple helices in spherical polyhedra - / - Introduction Symbolic stars vs Strategic pillars; Polyhedra vs Helices; Logic vs Comprehension? Dynamic bonding patterns in n-tuple helices engendering n-fold rotating symbols Embedding the triple helix in a spherical octahedron Embedding the quadruple helix in a spherical cube Embedding the quintuple helix in a spherical dodecahedron and a Pentagramma Mirificum Embedding six-fold, eight-fold and ten-fold helices in appropriately encircled polyhedra Embedding twelve-fold, eleven-fold, nine-fold and seven-fold helices in appropriately encircled polyhedra Neglected recognition of logical patterns -- especially of opposition Dynamic relationship between polyhedra engendered by circles -- variously implying forms of unity Symbol rotation as dynamic essential to engaging with value-inversion References Introduction The contrast to the geocentric model of the solar system was framed by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). His much-cited phrase, " And yet it moves" (E pur si muove or Eppur si muove) was allegedly pronounced in 1633 when he was forced to recant his claims that the Earth moves around the immovable Sun rather than the converse -- known as the Galileo affair. Such a shift in perspective might usefully inspire the recognition that the stasis attributed so widely to logos and other much-valued cultural and heraldic symbols obscures the manner in which they imply a fundamental cognitive dynamic. Cultural symbols fundamental to the identity of a group might then be understood as variously moving and transforming in ways which currently elude comprehension.

  • Signed Exceptional Sequences and the Cluster Morphism Category
    SIGNED EXCEPTIONAL SEQUENCES AND THE CLUSTER MORPHISM CATEGORY KIYOSHI IGUSA AND GORDANA TODOROV Abstract. We introduce signed exceptional sequences as factorizations of morphisms in the cluster morphism category. The objects of this category are wide subcategories of the module category of a hereditary algebra. A morphism [T ]: A!B is an equivalence class of rigid objects T in the cluster category of A so that B is the right hom-ext perpendicular category of the underlying object jT j 2 A. Factorizations of a morphism [T ] are given by totally orderings of the components of T . This is equivalent to a \signed exceptional sequences." For an algebra of finite representation type, the geometric realization of the cluster morphism category is the Eilenberg-MacLane space with fundamental group equal to the \picture group" introduced by the authors in [IOTW15b].

  • A Technology to Synthesize 360-Degree Video Based on Regular Dodecahedron in Virtual Environment Systems*
    A Technology to Synthesize 360-Degree Video Based on Regular Dodecahedron in Virtual Environment Systems* Petr Timokhin 1[0000-0002-0718-1436], Mikhail Mikhaylyuk2[0000-0002-7793-080X], and Klim Panteley3[0000-0001-9281-2396] Federal State Institution «Scientific Research Institute for System Analysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences», Moscow, Russia 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected] Abstract. The paper proposes a new technology of creating panoramic video with a 360-degree view based on virtual environment projection on regular do- decahedron. The key idea consists in constructing of inner dodecahedron surface (observed by the viewer) composed of virtual environment snapshots obtained by twelve identical virtual cameras. A method to calculate such cameras’ projec- tion and orientation parameters based on “golden rectangles” geometry as well as a method to calculate snapshots position around the observer ensuring synthe- sis of continuous 360-panorama are developed. The technology and the methods were implemented in software complex and tested on the task of virtual observing the Earth from space. The research findings can be applied in virtual environment systems, video simulators, scientific visualization, virtual laboratories, etc. Keywords: Visualization, Virtual Environment, Regular Dodecahedron, Video 360, Panoramic Mapping, GPU. 1 Introduction In modern human activities the importance of the visualization of virtual prototypes of real objects and phenomena is increasingly grown. In particular, it’s especially required for training specialists in space and aviation industries, medicine, nuclear industry and other areas, where the mistake cost is extremely high [1-3]. The effectiveness of work- ing with virtual prototypes is significantly increased if an observer experiences a feeling of being present in virtual environment.

Archimedean Solids Anna Anderson In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching with a Specialization in the Teaching of Middle Level Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics. Jim Lewis, Advisor July 2008 2 Archimedean Solids A polygon is a simple, closed, planar figure with sides formed by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others. If all of the sides have the same length and all of the angles are congruent, the polygon is called regular. The sum of the angles of a regular polygon with n sides, where n is 3 or more, is 180° x (n – 2) degrees. If a regular polygon were connected with other regular polygons in three dimensional space, a polyhedron could be created. In geometry, a polyhedron is a three- dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons joined at their edges. The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek word poly (many) and the Indo-European term hedron (seat).

  • The Close-Packed Triple Helix As a Possible New Structural Motif for Collagen
    The close-packed triple helix as a possible new structural motif for collagen Jakob Bohr∗ and Kasper Olseny Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark Building 307 Fysikvej, DK-2800 Lyngby, Denmark Abstract The one-dimensional problem of selecting the triple helix with the highest volume fraction is solved and hence the condition for a helix to be close-packed is obtained. The close-packed triple helix is ◦ shown to have a pitch angle of vCP = 43:3 . Contrary to the conventional notion, we suggest that close packing form the underlying principle behind the structure of collagen, and the implications of this suggestion are considered. Further, it is shown that the unique zero-twist structure with no strain- twist coupling is practically identical to the close-packed triple helix. Some of the difficulties for the current understanding of the structure of collagen are reviewed: The ambiguity in assigning crystal structures for collagen-like peptides, and the failure to satisfactorily calculate circular dichroism spectra. Further, the proposed new geometrical structure for collagen is better packed than both the 10=3 and the 7=2 structure. A feature of the suggested collagen structure is the existence of a central channel with negatively charged walls. We find support for this structural feature in some of the early x-ray diffraction data of collagen. The central channel of the structure suggests the possibility of a one-dimensional proton lattice. This geometry can explain the observed magic angle effect seen in NMR studies of collagen. The central channel also offers the possibility of ion transport and may cast new light on various biological and physical phenomena, including biomineralization.

Our results provide a partial answer to problem No 1994-17 in the book of Arnold’s problems (2004). Keywords Projective plane · Projective duality · Polygons · Legendrian curves · Radon curves Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 51A99 · 53A20 1 Introduction The projective plane P is the projectivization of 3-dimensional space V (we consider the cases of two ground fields, R and C); the points and the lines of P are 1- and 2-dimensional subspaces of V . The dual projective plane P ∗ is the projectivization of the dual space V ∗. Assign to a subspace in V its annihilator in V ∗. This gives a correspondence between the points in P and the lines in P ∗, and between the lines in P and the points in P ∗, called the projective duality. Projective duality preserves the incidence relation: if a point A belongs to a line B in P then the dual point B∗ belongs to the dual line A∗ in P ∗. Projective duality is an involution: (A∗)∗ = A. Projective duality extends to polygons in P .Ann-gon is a cyclically ordered collection of n points and n lines satisfying the incidences: two consecutive vertices lie on the respec- tive side, and two consecutive sides pass through the respective vertex.

  • An FPT Algorithm for the Embeddability of Graphs Into Two-Dimensional Simplicial Complexes∗
    An FPT Algorithm for the Embeddability of Graphs into Two-Dimensional Simplicial Complexes∗ Éric Colin de Verdière† Thomas Magnard‡ Abstract We consider the embeddability problem of a graph G into a two-dimensional simplicial com- plex C: Given G and C, decide whether G admits a topological embedding into C. The problem is NP-hard, even in the restricted case where C is homeomorphic to a surface. It is known that the problem admits an algorithm with running time f(c)nO(c), where n is the size of the graph G and c is the size of the two-dimensional complex C. In other words, that algorithm is polynomial when C is fixed, but the degree of the polynomial depends on C. We prove that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable in the size of the two-dimensional complex, by providing a deterministic f(c)n3-time algorithm. We also provide a randomized algorithm with O(1) expected running time 2c nO(1). Our approach is to reduce to the case where G has bounded branchwidth via an irrelevant vertex method, and to apply dynamic programming. We do not rely on any component of the existing linear-time algorithms for embedding graphs on a fixed surface; the only elaborated tool that we use is an algorithm to compute grid minors. 1 Introduction An embedding of a graph G into a host topological space X is a crossing-free topological drawing of G into X. The use and computation of graph embeddings is central in the communities of computational topology, topological graph theory, and graph drawing.
