The centre symmetry set

Peter Giblin, Paul Holtom (1999)

Banach Center Publications

A centrally symmetric plane curve has a point called it’s centre of symmetry. We define (following Janeczko) a set which measures the central symmetry of an arbitrary strictly convex plane curve, or surface in R 3 . We investigate some of it’s properties, and begin the study of non-convex cases.

The Nash-Kuiper process for curves

Vincent Borrelli, Saïd Jabrane, Francis Lazarus, Boris Thibert (2011/2012)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

A strictly short embedding is an embedding of a Riemannian manifold into an Euclidean space that strictly shortens distances. From such an embedding, the Nash-Kuiper process builds a sequence of maps converging toward an isometric embedding. In that paper, we describe this Nash-Kuiper process in the case of curves. We state an explicit formula for the limit normal map and perform its Fourier series expansion. We then adress the question of Holder regularity of the limit map.

The rectifying developable and the spherical Darboux image of a space curve

Shyuichi Izumiya, Haruyo Katsumi, Takako Yamasaki (1999)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we study singularities of certain surfaces and curves associated with the family of rectifying planes along space curves. We establish the relationships between singularities of these subjects and geometric invariants of curves which are deeply related to the order of contact with helices.
