Legendrian dual surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space

We consider surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space and their duals. We study flat dual surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space by using extended Legendrian dualities between pseudo-hyperspheres in Lorentz-Minkowski 4-space. We define the flatness of a surface in hyperbolic 3-space by the degeneracy of its dual, which is similar to the case of the Gauss map of a surface in Euclidean 3-space. Such surfaces are a kind of ruled surfaces. Moreover, we investigate the singularities of these surfaces and the...

Rigorous derivation of Korteweg-de Vries-type systems from a general class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems

In this paper, we study the long wave approximation for quasilinear symmetric hyperbolic systems. Using the technics developed by Joly-Métivier-Rauch for nonlinear geometrical optics, we prove that under suitable assumptions the long wave limit is described by KdV-type systems. The error estimate if the system is coupled appears to be better. We apply formally our technics to Euler equations with free surface and Euler-Poisson systems. This leads to new systems of KdV-type. ...

Well posed reduced systems for the Einstein equations

Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, James York (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We review some well posed formulations of the evolution part of the Cauchy problem of General Relativity that we have recently obtained. We include also a new first order symmetric hyperbolic system based directly on the Riemann tensor and the full Bianchi identities. It has only physical characteristics and matter sources can be included. It is completely equivalent to our other system with these properties.
