The geometry of finite classical polar spaces arises from vector spaces over finite fields equipped with nondegenerate reflexive sesquilinear or quadratic forms. Points correspond to one-dimensional ...
Our universe appears flat—but this observation still leaves plenty of options for its true shape. In fact, our cosmos could resemble a donut What shape is the universe? This question is far more ...
How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...
