Foliated Problem, Part II: Harmonic Maps of Foliations.
We classify surfaces in 3-dimensional space forms which have all the local conformal invariants constant and show that compact 3-manifolds of nonzero constant sectional curvature admit no foliations by such surfaces.
We study the global behavior of foliations of ellipsoids by curves making a constant angle with the lines of curvature.
This paper deals with a family of lightlike (null) hypersurfaces (H u) of a Lorentzian manifold M such that each null normal vector ℓ of H u is not entirely in H u, but, is defined in some open subset of M around H u. Although the family (H u) is not unique, we show, subject to some reasonable condition(s), that the involved induced objects are independent of the choice of (H u) once evaluated at u = constant. We use (n+1)-splitting Lorentzian manifold to obtain a normalization of ℓ and a well-defined...
Dans ce travail: (1) on caractérise l’espace des fonctionnelles invariantes par un groupe compact G opérant linéairement et continûment sur un espace vectoriel topologique localement convexe séparé et séquentiellement complet E plus précisément, on montre que est le dual topologique du sous-espace des vecteurs de E qui sont G-invariants. (2) On étudie les courants basiques sur une variété feuilletée (V,ℱ). On obtient alors, dans le cas où le feuilletage est associé à une action localement...
The paper is concerned with the graph formulation of forced anisotropic mean curvature flow in the context of the heteroepitaxial growth of quantum dots. The problem is generalized by including anisotropy by means of Finsler metrics. A semi-discrete numerical scheme based on the method of lines is presented. Computational results with various anisotropy settings are shown and discussed.
