A surface which has a family of geodesics of curvature.
Let be a reduced -dimensional complex space, for which the set of singularities consists of finitely many points. If denotes the set of smooth points, the author considers a holomorphic vector bundle , equipped with a Hermitian metric , where represents a closed analytic subset of complex codimension at least two. The results, surveyed in this paper, provide criteria for holomorphic extension of across , or across the singular points of if . The approach taken here is via the metric...
We consider the integral functional , , where , , is a nonempty bounded connected open subset of with smooth boundary, and is a convex, differentiable function. We prove that if admits a minimizer in depending only on the distance from the boundary of , then must be a ball.
A relatively simple algebraic framework is given, in which all the compact symmetric spaces can be described and handled without distinguishing cases. We also give some applications and further results.
