The smallest dihedral angle of convex polyhedrons

Given a set of points $\{x_{k}\}_{k=0}^{m} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, is it always possible to find a constant $c=c(m,n)>0$, depending only on the dimension $n$ and the number $m$, such that, after ...

Enveloping a Jordan curve with a trace of another one

This question is inspired by this one, or rather the way I understood it. Let $\gamma$ and $\delta$ be parametrised Jordan curves on the plane (i.e. homeomorphisms from $S^1$ onto its image in $\...

Fundamental Surfaces in 3-manifolds

Given a 3-manifold $M$ with a triangulation $T$, will every essential surface in $M$ be a fundamental one? If not, then what are the conditions on $T$ so that these essential surfaces become ...
