A question about the centroids of compact subsets of Euclidean spaces

Even if you restrict to convex sets, I don't think there's a definition of centroid that makes this work for $n > 1$. For instance, in $\mathbb{R}^2$ consider rectangles of the form $[0, 1] \times [0 …

Topological scaling (?)

A closely related problem is the creation of cartograms: maps where areas are distorted to show some data dimension other than actual geographical area. Nice examples can be seen at WorldMapper. There …

Seifert surfaces of torus knots

This picture--for a (7,2) torus knot--shows a geometric pattern you can extend to any (n,2) torus knot. The image is part of Figure 18 in the visually rich paper by Jarke van Wijk and Arjeh Cohen: …
