Complex points of minimal surfaces in almost Kähler manifolds.
After defining what is meant by a complex spray X on a complex manifold M, we introduce the notion of a spray complex curve associated to X. Several equivalent formulations are derived and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for M to admit spray complex curves for X through each point and in each direction. Refinements of this result are then derived for some special cases, for example when X is the horizontal radial vector field associated to a complex Finsler metric.
Data una varietà Riemanniana orientata , il fibrato principale di basi ortonormali positive su ha una parallelizzazione canonica dipendente dalla connessione di Levi-Civita. Questo fatto suggerisce la definizione di una classe molto naturale di strutture quasi-complesse su . Dopo le necessarie definizioni, discutiamo qui l'integrabilità di queste strutture, esprimendola in termini della struttura Riemanniana .
We study complex affine surfaces in ℂ⁴ with the transversal bundle defined by Nomizu and Vrancken. We classify the surfaces that have recurrent shape operators and parallel transversal metric.
We establish a composition calculus for Fourier integral operators associated with a class of smooth canonical relations . These canonical relations, which arise naturally in integral geometry, are such that : is a Whitney fold and : is a blow-down mapping. If , , then a class of pseudodifferential operators with singular symbols. From this follows boundedness of with a loss of 1/4 derivative.
Special nets which characterize Cartesian, geodesic, Chebyshevian, geodesic- Chebyshevian and Chebyshevian-geodesic compositions are introduced. Con- ditions for the coefficients of the connectedness in the parameters of these special nets are found.
The paper presents the results of numerical solution of the evolution law for the constrained mean-curvature flow. This law originates in the theory of phase transitions for crystalline materials and describes the evolution of closed embedded curves with constant enclosed area. It is reformulated by means of the direct method into the system of degenerate parabolic partial differential equations for the curve parametrization. This system is solved numerically and several computational studies are...
The paper presents the results of numerical solution of the Allen-Cahn equation with a non-local term. This equation originally mentioned by Rubinstein and Sternberg in 1992 is related to the mean-curvature flow with the constraint of constant volume enclosed by the evolving curve. We study this motion approximately by the mentioned PDE, generalize the problem by including anisotropy and discuss the computational results obtained.
