Cosmologists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: that the cosmos might fold back on itself so that, on the ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

We are fond of saying things are symmetric, but what does that really mean? Intuitively we have a sense of symmetry as a kind of mirroring. Suppose we draw a vertical line through the middle of a ...

In an isomorphic copy of the ring of symmetric polynomials we study some families of polynomials which are indexed by rational weight vectors. These families include well known symmetric polynomials, ...

Symmetry detection represents a cornerstone in computer vision, fundamentally enhancing object recognition, reconstruction, and classification. Its significance lies in the capacity to identify ...

How a little girl and a stuffed bear helped set the course for symmetry. Two score and ten issues ago, Fermilab and SLAC brought forth a new publication, conceived in optimism and dedicated to the ...

To most people, “symmetry” means the bilateral symmetry exhibited by, say, a butterfly, or the human face. That is, if you take a picture of a butterfly and draw a straight line down the middle of the ...
