Introduction à l’invariant
This is a short overview on the most classical results on mean curvature flow as a flow of smooth hypersurfaces. First of all we define the mean curvature flow as a quasilinear parabolic equation and give some easy examples of evolution. Then we consider the M.C.F. on convex surfaces and sketch the proof of the convergence to a round point. Some interesting results on the M.C.F. for entire graphs are also mentioned. In particular when we consider the case of dimension one, we can compute the equation...
We investigate a two-parameter family of relative normals that contains Manhart's one-parameter family and the centroaffine normal. The invariance group of each of these normals is classified, and variational problems are studied. The results are Euler-Lagrange equations for the hypersurfaces that are critical with respect to the area functionals of the induced and semi-Riemannian volume forms and a classification of the critical hyperovaloids in the two-parameter family.
In this paper we prove that each -natural metric on a linear frame bundle over a Riemannian manifold is invariant with respect to a lifted map of a (local) isometry of the base manifold. Then we define -natural metrics on the orthonormal frame bundle and we prove the same invariance result as above for . Hence we see that, over a space of constant sectional curvature, the bundle with an arbitrary -natural metric is locally homogeneous.
We show that every global viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated with a convex and superlinear Hamiltonian on the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold is necessarily invariant under the identity component of the group of symmetries of the Hamiltonian (we prove that this group is a compact Lie group). In particular, every Lagrangian section invariant under the Hamiltonian flow is also invariant under this group.
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] The paper deals with a special problem of gauge theory. In his previous paper [The invariance of Sobolev spaces over noncompact manifolds, Partial differential equations, Proc. Symp., Holzhaus/GDR 1988, Teubner- Texte Math. 112, 73-107 (1989; Zbl 0681.58011)], the author introduced the Sobolev completions of the space of all G-connections on a G-principal fibre bundle P. In the present paper, under the assumption of bounded curvatures and their...
Let X be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action α: A×X→X of a Lie group A. Let K be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms of explicit finite dimensional quotients, of three classes of objects: equivalence classes of α-invariant K-connections on X α-invariant gauge classes of K-connections on X, andα-invariant isomorphism classes of pairs (Q,P) consisting of a holomorphic Kℂ-bundle Q → X and a K-reduction P of Q (when...
