Early Investigations In Conformal And Differential Geometry, Raymond T. Walter Jan 2014

Early Investigations In Conformal And Differential Geometry, Raymond T. Walter

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

The present article introduces fundamental notions of conformal and differential geometry, especially where such notions are useful in mathematical physics applications. Its primary achievement is a nontraditional proof of the classic result of Liouville that the only conformal transformations in Euclidean space of dimension greater than two are Möbius transformations. The proof is nontraditional in the sense that it uses the standard Dirac operator on Euclidean space and is based on a representation of Möbius transformations using 2x2 matrices over a Clifford algebra. Clifford algebras and the Dirac operator are important in other applications of pure mathematics and mathematical physics, …

Faces, Edges, Vertices Of Some Polyhedra, Charles H. Harbison Jan 1974

Faces, Edges, Vertices Of Some Polyhedra, Charles H. Harbison

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A proof that: for any given polyhedron so shaped that every closed non-self intersecting broken line composed of edges of the polyhedron divides the surface of the polyhedron into precisely two disjoint regions each of which is bounded by the closed broken line, v - e + f = 2, where v is the number of vertices of the polyhedron, e the number of edges and f the number of faces.
