  • A Combinatorial Analysis of Topological Dissections
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS 25, 267-285 (1977) A Combinatorial Analysis of Topological Dissections THOMAS ZASLAVSKY Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 From a topological space remove certain subspaces (cuts), leaving connected components (regions). We develop an enumerative theory for the regions in terms of the cuts, with the aid of a theorem on the Mijbius algebra of a subset of a distributive lattice. Armed with this theory we study dissections into cellular faces and dissections in the d-sphere. For example, we generalize known enumerations for arrangements of hyperplanes to convex sets and topological arrangements, enumerations for simple arrangements and the Dehn-Sommerville equations for simple polytopes to dissections with general intersection, and enumerations for arrangements of lines and curves and for plane convex sets to dissections by curves of the 2-sphere and planar domains. Contents. Introduction. 1. The fundamental relations for dissections and covers. 2. Algebraic combinatorics: Valuations and MGbius algebras. 3. Dissections into cells and properly cellular faces. 4. General position. 5. Counting low-dimensional faces. 6. Spheres and their subspaces. 7. Dissections by curves. INTRODUCTION A problem which arises from time to time in combinatorial geometry is to determine the number of pieces into which a certain geometric set is divided by given subsets. Think for instance of a plane cut by prescribed curves, as in a map of a land area crisscrossed by roads and hedgerows, or of a finite set of hyper- planes slicing up a convex domain in a Euclidean space.

  • The Dehn-Sydler Theorem Explained
    The Dehn-Sydler Theorem Explained Rich Schwartz February 16, 2010 1 Introduction The Dehn-Sydler theorem says that two polyhedra in R3 are scissors con- gruent iff they have the same volume and Dehn invariant. Dehn [D] proved in 1901 that equality of the Dehn invariant is necessary for scissors congru- ence. 64 years passed, and then Sydler [S] proved that equality of the Dehn invariant (and volume) is sufficient. In [J], Jessen gives a simplified proof of Sydler’s Theorem. The proof in [J] relies on two results from homolog- ical algebra that are proved in [JKT]. Also, to get the cleanest statement of the result, one needs to combine the result in [J] (about stable scissors congruence) with Zylev’s Theorem, which is proved in [Z]. The purpose of these notes is to explain the proof of Sydler’s theorem that is spread out in [J], [JKT], and [Z]. The paper [J] is beautiful and efficient, and I can hardly improve on it. I follow [J] very closely, except that I simplify wherever I can. The only place where I really depart from [J] is my sketch of the very difficult geometric Lemma 10.1, which is known as Sydler’s Fundamental Lemma. To supplement these notes, I made an interactive java applet that renders Sydler’s Fundamental Lemma transparent. The applet departs even further from Jessen’s treatment. [JKT] leaves a lot to be desired. The notation in [JKT] does not match the notation in [J] and the theorems proved in [JKT] are much more general than what is needed for [J].

  • Ramanujan As a Patient
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Math. Sci.), Voi. 93, Nos 2 & 3, December 1984, pp. 79-100 Printed in India. Ramanujan as a patient R A RANKIN Department of Mathematics, University of Glasgow, Glasgow GI2 8QW, Scotland 1. Introduction In this article I attempt to give as full a picture as possible of Srinivasa Ramanujan's medical history during his time in England. The account is based largely on unpublished letters and documents housed in various libraries, and on information extracted from the records of public bodies. In my earlier paper [12] I was concerned mainly with his notebooks and manuscripts, although I did give a brief description of the nursing homes in which he was a patient, based on information available to me at the time. What might be called Ramanujan's domestic history is well documented [1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14], at any rate as regards incident, if not exact date, so that, in the interests of brevity, I recall only those events that have a direct bearing on my subject. I also take the opportunity (in w to amplify and extend some of the material included in [12], in the light of information more recently received, and to make a number of general comments. The source to which most frequent reference is made is the collection of unpublished papers and documents written by, or concerning, Ramanujan (1887-1920), which were passed on by G H Hardy (1877-1947) and J E Littlewood (1885-1977) to G N Watson (1886-1965) and are now housed in the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, where at one time all four were Fellows.

  • Finite Projective Geometries 243
    FINITE PROJECTÎVEGEOMETRIES* BY OSWALD VEBLEN and W. H. BUSSEY By means of such a generalized conception of geometry as is inevitably suggested by the recent and wide-spread researches in the foundations of that science, there is given in § 1 a definition of a class of tactical configurations which includes many well known configurations as well as many new ones. In § 2 there is developed a method for the construction of these configurations which is proved to furnish all configurations that satisfy the definition. In §§ 4-8 the configurations are shown to have a geometrical theory identical in most of its general theorems with ordinary projective geometry and thus to afford a treatment of finite linear group theory analogous to the ordinary theory of collineations. In § 9 reference is made to other definitions of some of the configurations included in the class defined in § 1. § 1. Synthetic definition. By a finite projective geometry is meant a set of elements which, for sugges- tiveness, are called points, subject to the following five conditions : I. The set contains a finite number ( > 2 ) of points. It contains subsets called lines, each of which contains at least three points. II. If A and B are distinct points, there is one and only one line that contains A and B. HI. If A, B, C are non-collinear points and if a line I contains a point D of the line AB and a point E of the line BC, but does not contain A, B, or C, then the line I contains a point F of the line CA (Fig.

  • Circles in Areals
    Circles in areals 23 December 2015 This paper has been accepted for publication in the Mathematical Gazette, and copyright is assigned to the Mathematical Association (UK). This preprint may be read or downloaded, and used for any non-profit making educational or research purpose. Introduction August M¨obiusintroduced the system of barycentric or areal co-ordinates in 1827[1, 2]. The idea is that one may attach weights to points, and that a system of weights determines a centre of mass. Given a triangle ABC, one obtains a co-ordinate system for the plane by placing weights x; y and z at the vertices (with x + y + z = 1) to describe the point which is the centre of mass. The vertices have co-ordinates A = (1; 0; 0), B = (0; 1; 0) and C = (0; 0; 1). By scaling so that triangle ABC has area [ABC] = 1, we can take the co-ordinates of P to be ([P BC]; [PCA]; [P AB]), provided that we take area to be signed. Our convention is that anticlockwise triangles have positive area. Points inside the triangle have strictly positive co-ordinates, and points outside the triangle must have at least one negative co-ordinate (we are allowed negative masses). The equation of a line looks like the equation of a plane in Cartesian co-ordinates, but note that the equation lx + ly + lz = 0 (with l 6= 0) is not satisfied by any point (x; y; z) of the Euclidean plane. We use such equations to describe the line at infinity when doing projective geometry.
