New representation of the non-symmetric homogeneous bounded domains in and .
A surface area estimator for three-dimensional convex sets, based on the invariator principle of local stereology, has recently motivated its generalization by means of new rotational Crofton-type formulae using Morse theory. We follow a different route to obtain related formulae which are more manageable and valid for submanifolds in constant curvature spaces. As an application, we obtain a simplified version of the mentioned surface area estimator for non-convex sets of smooth boundary.
We prove that a closed convex hypersurface of the Euclidean space with almost constant anisotropic first and second mean curvatures in the -sense is -close (up to rescaling and translations) to the Wulff shape. We also obtain characterizations of geodesic hyperspheres of space forms improving those of [Ro1] and [Ro].
Recently Entov and Polterovich asked if the Grubb measure was the only symplectic topological measure on the torus. Much to our surprise we discovered a whole new class of intrinsic simple topological measures on the torus, many of which were symplectic.
AMS Subj. Classification: 83C15, 83C35In this paper we present an overview of our research that was presented at theMASSEE International Congress on Mathematics MICOM 2009 in Ohrid, Macedonia. We deal with quadratic metric–affine gravity, which is an alternative theory of gravity. We present new vacuum solutions for this theory and an attempt to give their physical interpretation on the basis of comparison with existing classical models. These new explicit vacuum solutions of quadratic metric–affine...
We compute numerically the minimizers of the Dirichlet energyamong maps from the unit disc into the unit sphere that satisfy a boundary condition and a degree condition. We use a Sobolev gradient algorithm for the minimization and we prove that its continuous version preserves the degree. For the discretization of the problem we use continuous finite elements. We propose an original mesh-refining strategy needed to preserve the degree with the discrete version of the algorithm (which is a preconditioned...
Any rigged null hypersurface is provided with two shape operators: with respect to the rigging and the rigged vector fields respectively. The present paper deals with the Newton transformations built on both of them and establishes related curvature properties. The laters are used to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for higher-order umbilicity and maximality we introduced in passing, and develop general Minkowski-type formulas for the null hypersurface, supported by some physical models...
We describe a connection between Nielsen fixed point theory and symplectic Floer homology for surfaces. A new asymptotic invariant of symplectic origin is defined.
Este artículo presenta un panorama de algunos resultados recientes sobre estructuras complejas nilpotentes J definidas sobre nilvariedades compactas. Tratamos el problema de clasificación de nilvariedades compactas que admiten una tal J, el estudio de un modelo minimal de Dolbeault y su formalidad, y la construcción de estructuras complejas nilpotentes para las cuales la sucesión espectral de Frölicher no colapsa en el segundo término.
