A flat geodesic with a periodic asymptote
Hongda Qiu
We construct a closed surface of genus with nonpositive Gaussian curvature and a complete nonperiodic flat geodesic asymptotic to a flat closed geodesic. The metric is of class…
Example of exponential many collisions of identical hard disks in the plane
Hongda Qiu
We show that the maximal number of nonsimultaneous elastic collisions among identical hard disks moving freely on the plane is at least exponential in .
On equivariant isometric embeddings of Riemannian manifolds with symmetries
Hongda Qiu
Let be a -smooth, -dimensional Riemannian manifold which is diffeomorphic to $\RR^n$ and admit an action of a properly discontinuous and cocompact group. This…
Supersqueezed sphere
Hongda Qiu
This work pose an example of a smooth closed surface in which has genus , normal curvatures at most in absolute value and encloses a volume smaller than the v…
On the geometry of Riemannian isometric embeddings
Dmitri Burago, Hongda Qiu
This note pertains to isometric embeddings endowed with certain geometric properties. We study two embedding problems for a Riemannian manifold which is diffeomorphic to $\RR^n…
On the curvature bounded sphere problem in
Hongda Qiu
We prove that if a topological sphere smoothly embedded into with normal curvatures absolutely bounded by is contained in an open ball of radius , then the re…
