Tangential Approximation of Surfaces

Carl Olsson, Yuri Boykov (2013)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

In the Computer Vision community it is a common belief that higher order smoothness, such as curvature, should be modeled using higher order interactions. For example, 2nd order derivatives for deformable (active) contours are represented by triple cliques. Similarly, the 2nd order regularization methods in stereo predominantly use MRF models with scalar (1D) disparity labels and triple clique interactions. In this paper we give an overview of an energy minimization framework for developed...

How to produce a Ricci flow via Cheeger–Gromoll exhaustion

Esther Cabezas-Rivas, Burkhard Wilking (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open...

Volume comparison theorems for manifolds with radial curvature bounded

Jing Mao (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, for complete Riemannian manifolds with radial Ricci or sectional curvature bounded from below or above, respectively, with respect to some point, we prove several volume comparison theorems, which can be seen as extensions of already existing results. In fact, under this radial curvature assumption, the model space is the spherically symmetric manifold, which is also called the generalized space form, determined by the bound of the radial curvature, and moreover, volume...

Curvature cones and the Ricci flow.

Thomas Richard (2012-2014)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Similarity:

This survey reviews some facts about nonnegativity conditions on the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold which are preserved by the action of the Ricci flow. The text focuses on two main points. First we describe the known examples of preserved curvature conditions and how they have been used to derive geometric results, in particular sphere theorems. We then describe some recent results which give restrictions on general preserved conditions. ...

A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Giuseppe Pipoli (2017)

Complex Manifolds

Similarity:

In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces. We show similarities and differences between the case considered, with particular attention to how the geometry of the ambient manifolds influences the behaviour of the evolution. Moreover we try, when possible, to give an unified approach to the results present in literature.
