Abstract We show that locally compact abelian p-groups can be embedded in the first Hawaiian group on a compact path connected subspace of the Euclidean space of dimension four. This result gives a new geometric interpretation for the classification of locally compact abelian groups which are rich in commuting closed subgroups. It is then possible to introduce the idea of an algebraic topology for topologically modular locally compact groups via the geometry of the Hawaiian earring. Among other things, we find applications for locally compact groups which are just noncompact.

While Vassiliev invariants have proved to be a useful tool in the classification of knots, they are frequently defined through knot diagrams, and fail to illuminate any significant geometric properties the knots themselves may possess. Here, we provide a geometric interpretation of the second-order Vassiliev invariant by examining five-point cocircularities of knots, extending some of the results obtained in [R. Budney, J. Conant, K. P. Scannell and D. Sinha, New perspectives on self-linking, Adv. Math. 191(1) (2005) 78–113]. Additionally, an analysis on the behavior of other cocircularities on knots is given.

A new analysis of wrench singularities is presented for spatial parallel platform manipulators consisting of three legs, with up to two actuators each, and connected to the mobile platform by spherical joints. The analysis also applies to some related manipulators with six legs, such as the 6-3 Gough-Stewart platform. The characteristic tetrahedron is introduced to identify wrench singularities, i.e. configurations where the platform can move infinitesimally with all actuators locked. An important theorem is presented that provides a geometric interpretation of wrench singularities: a manipulator is at a wrench singularity if and only if the characteristic tetrahedron is singular. All cases in which the tetrahedron becomes singular are enumerated, which leads to a classification of wrench singularities. This method is easy to visualize and presents an alternative to standard approaches using line geometry.

In this paper, we study the tangential touch and [Formula: see text] regularity of the free boundary near the fixed boundary of the double obstacle problem for Laplacian and fully nonlinear operator. The main idea to have the properties is regarding the upper obstacle as a solution of the single obstacle problem. Then, in the classification of global solutions of the double problem, it is enough to consider only two cases for the upper obstacle, [Formula: see text] The second one is a new type of upper obstacle, which does not exist in the study of local regularity of the free boundary of the double problem. Thus, in this paper, a new type of difficulties that come from the second type upper obstacle is mainly studied.

We present a geometric interpretation for the torsion constraints in (2,0) supergravity using G-structures. This leads to a classification of the constraints as given by Ref. 1. We also present the essential torsion constraints for (p,q) geometry.

In contrast with what happens for two-dimensional polarization states, defined as those whose electric field fluctuates in a fixed plane, which can readily be represented by means of the Poincaré sphere, the complete description of general three-dimensional polarization states involves nine measurable parameters, called the generalized Stokes parameters, so that the generalized Poincaré object takes the complicated form of an eight-dimensional quadric hypersurface. In this work, the geometric representation of general polarization states, described by means of a simple polarization object constituted by the combination of an ellipsoid and a vector, is interpreted in terms of the intrinsic Stokes parameters, which allows for a complete and systematic classification of polarization states in terms of meaningful rotationally invariant descriptors.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider a family of parabolic systems with singular nonlinearities. We study the classification of global existence and quenching of solutions according to parameters and initial data. Furthermore, the rate of the convergence of the global solutions to the minimal steady state is given. Due to the lack of variational characterization of the first eigenvalue to the linearized elliptic problem associated with our parabolic system, some new ideas and techniques are introduced.</p>
