What is Expositio?

A public repository for expository academic papers, with an integrated scholarly record.

Expositio is a place to read and cite expository work. Papers are published as stable, citable records, while remaining connected to later versions, editorial decisions, and related context.

Some papers are early drafts; others have been peer reviewed or formally published. Each paper remains readable on its own, while preserving the history behind it.

The result is both a reading room and a record: a place to browse by field, read papers in stable form, and follow their development over time.

Infinite Series Through Fourier Analysis

Aleksei Lopatin

Preprint
v1

In this paper, we will introduce Fourier Series through the Orthogonality Relations from which we consider Parseval's Theorem. Then, we wish to extend the concept of Fourier Series of aperiodic functions, specifically showing the Fourier Transform. The usage of the Fourier Trans…

Firstly, we will introduce some preliminary theory about Newton Polygons while presenting some comments for their uses. Our main focus is analyzing the Newton Polgons of general functions, specifically power series, of which a few important lemmas are shown. Finally, we collate …

On Minimal Surfaces

Aleksei Lopatin

Preprint
v1

This paper introduces Minimal Surfaces through the Weingarten Map and the 1st and 2nd Fundamental forms. Then, we consider two examples of a minimal surface, the catenoid and helicoid, verifying that both are indeed minimal surfaces through calculation. Finally, we end with two …

On Ehrhart Theory and Positivity

Rajit Pandey

Preprint
v1

We investigate the geometric and combinatorial properties of polytope triangulations, focusing on their connections to Ehrhart positivity. The Ehrhart polynomial L(P,t) encodes the number of integer points in dilated copies of a polytope, and establishing the positivity of …

This paper describes the mathematical technique of calculus of variations starting with the derivation of key equations such as the Euler-Lagrange equation and the Beltrami Identity. These equations are then applied in the following scenarios: geodesic on a flat plane, solving t…

Mathematics > Calculus of variations and optimal control; optimization > Existence theories for free problems in two or more independent variables Primary
v1

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Green's theorem, the classical Stokes theorem, and the divergence theorem each relate differentiation on a region to integration on its boundary. This paper develops the language of smooth manifolds and differential forms in which these r…
