Rotation distance using flows
Claire Mathieu, William Thurston
Splay trees are a simple and efficient dynamic data structure, invented by Sleator and Tarjan. The basic primitive for transforming a binary tree in this scheme is a rotation. Slea…
Geometry and the Imagination in Minneapolis
John H. Conway, Peter G. Doyle, Jane Gilman +1
This document consists of the collection of handouts for a two-week summer workshop entitled 'Geometry and the Imagination', led by John Conway, Peter Doyle, Jane Gilman and Bill T…
Mathematical Education
William P. Thurston
This essay, originally published in the Sept 1990 Notices of the AMS, discusses problems of our mathematical education system that often stem from widespread misconceptions by well…
On Three-Dimensional Space Groups
John Conway, Olaf Delgado Friedrichs, Daniel H. Huson +1
An entirely new and independent enumeration of the crystallographic space groups is given, based on obtaining the groups as fibrations over the plane crystallographic groups, when…
Remarks on the Geometry of Wick Rotation in QFT and its Localization on Manifolds
Chien-Hao Liu, U. Miami-Physics
The geometric aspect of Wick rotation in quantum field theory and its localization on manifolds are explored. After the explanation of the notion and its related geometric objects,…
