Cylinders Through Five Points: Complex and Real Enumerative Geometry
It is known that five points in R3 generically determine a finite number of cylinders containing those points. We discuss ways in which it can be shown that the generic (complex) number of solutions, with multiplicity, is six, of which an even number will be real valued and hence correspond to actual cylinders in R3. We partially classify the case of no real solutions in terms of the geometry o...
متن کاملCircular Cylinders through Four or Five Points in Space
The focus of this paper is the analysis of circular cylinders through sets of points in three dimensions. This investigation has a number of motivations. Clearly, if a cylinder of radius R and direction t passes through a set of points P , it means also that there is a line of direction t tangent to the sphere of radius R and centered at the points of P . Another interpretation is that an obser...
متن کاملConic Sections through Five Points
In the so-called conformal model of Euclidean space of geometric algebra, circles receive a very elegant description by the outer product of three general points of that circle, forming what is called a tri-vector. Because circles are a special kind of conic section, the question arises, whether in general some kind of third order outer product of five points on a conic section (or certain line...
متن کاملSAGE: Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation Major Points
SAGE is a project that the PI launched in January 2005 to create a software environment for research and experimentation in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography, and numerical computation. This involves the creation of free open source software and databases that support advanced mathematical research. The PI is one of the more sought-after people by the world-wide community of mathem...
متن کاملModeling Virus Self-Assembly Pathways Using Computational Algebra and Geometry
We develop a tractable model for elucidating the assembly pathways by which an icosahedral viral shell forms from 60 identical constituent protein monomers. This poorly understood process a remarkable example of macromolecular self-assembly occuring in nature and possesses many features that are desirable while engineering self-assembly at the nanoscale. The model uses static geometric constrai...
