Wrapping spheres with flat paper
We study wrappings of smooth (convex) surfaces by a flat piece of paper or foil. Such wrappings differ from standard mathematical origami because they require infinitely many infinitesimally small folds (“crumpling”) in order to transform the flat sheet into a surface of nonzero curvature. Our goal is to find shapes that wrap a given surface, have small area and small perimeter (for efficient m...
متن کاملOn Wrapping Spheres and Cubes with Rectangular Paper
What is the largest cube or sphere that a given rectangular piece of paper can wrap? This natural problem, which has plagued giftwrappers everywhere, remains very much unsolved. Here we introduce new upper and lower bounds and consolidate previous results. Though these bounds rarely match, our results significantly reduce the gap.
متن کاملHarmonic Morphisms on Conformally Flat 3-spheres
We show that under some non-degeneracy assumption the only submersive harmonic morphism on a conformally flat 3−sphere is the Hopf fibration. The proof involves an appropriate use the Chern-Simons functional.
متن کاملConformally Flat Anisotropic Spheres in General Relativity
The condition for the vanishing of the Weyl tensor is integrated in the spherically symmetric case. Then, the resulting expression is used to find new, conformally flat, interior solutions to Einstein equations for locally anisotropic fluids. The slow evolution of these models is contrasted with the evolution of models with similar energy density or radial pressure distribution but non-vanishin...
متن کاملOccupational asthma due to polyethylene shrink wrapping (paper wrapper's asthma).
Occupational asthma due to the pyrolysis products of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produced by shrink wrapping processes has previously been reported. The first case of occupational asthma in a shrink wrap worker using a different plastic, polyethylene, is reported; the association was confirmed by specific bronchial provocation testing.
