We give a classification of all equivelar polyhedral maps on the torus. In particular, we classify all triangulations and quadrangulations of the torus admitting a vertex transitive automorphism group. These are precisely the ones which are quotients of the regular tessellations {3, 6}, {6, 3} or {4, 4} by a pure translation group. An explicit formula for the number of combinatorial types of eq...

We prove a vanishing theorem for the Hodge number h 2;1 of projective toric varieties provided by a certain class of polytopes. We explain how this Hodge number also gives information about the deformation theory of the toric Gorenstein singularity derived from the same polytope. In particular, the vanishing theorem for h 2;1 implies that these deformations are unobstructed.

We introduce a new combinatorial abstraction for the graphs of polyhedra. The new abstraction is a flexible framework defined by combinatorial properties, with each collection of properties taken providing a variant for studying the diameters of polyhedral graphs. One particular variant has a diameter which satisfies the best known upper bound on the diameters of polyhedra. Another variant has ...

We study the problem of when the collection of the recession cones of a polyhedral complex forms also a complex. We exhibit an example showing that this is no always the case. We also show that if the support of the given polyhedral complex satisfies a Minkowski-Weyl type condition, then the answer is positive. As a consequence, we obtain a classification theorem for proper toric schemes over a...

Following the experimental discovery of several nearly symmetric protein cages, we define concept homogeneous congruent equivalent near-miss polyhedral cages made out P-gons. We use group theory to parameterize possible configurations and minimize irregularity P-gons numerically construct all such for P=6 P=20 with deformation up 10%.

Abstract. We derive pointwise a posteriori residual-based error estimates for finite element solutions to the Stokes equations in polyhedral domains. The estimates relies on the regularity of the of Stokes equations and provide an upper bound for the pointwise error in the velocity field on polyhedral domains. Whereas the estimates provide upper bounds for the pointwise error in the gradient of...
