Geometric inequalities, stability results and Kendall's problem in spherical space
Mathematika, Volume 71, Issue 4, October 2025.Abstract In Euclidean space, the asymptotic shape of large cells in various types of Poisson‐driven random tessellations has been the subject of a famous conjecture due to David Kendall. Since shape is a geometric concept and large cells are identified by means of geometric size functionals, the resolution of the conjecture is inevitably connected with

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT High‐resolution remote sensing, magnetometry, and trench stratigraphy identify a significant flood event at Lagash (modern Tell al‐Hiba) during the late Early Dynastic period (ca. 2400–2350 BC). Satellite imagery and magnetometry reveal a 90‐meter‐wide meander belt—3–15 times broader than documented canals—adjacent to primary temple districts.
