Invariance groups of relative normals

Thomas Binder, Martin Wiehe (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate a two-parameter family of relative normals that contains Manhart's one-parameter family and the centroaffine normal. The invariance group of each of these normals is classified, and variational problems are studied. The results are Euler-Lagrange equations for the hypersurfaces that are critical with respect to the area functionals of the induced and semi-Riemannian volume forms and a classification of the critical hyperovaloids in the two-parameter family.

Invariants and Bonnet-type theorem for surfaces in ℝ4

Georgi Ganchev, Velichka Milousheva (2010)

Open Mathematics

In the tangent plane at any point of a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we consider an invariant linear map ofWeingarten-type and find a geometrically determined moving frame field. Writing derivative formulas of Frenet-type for this frame field, we obtain eight invariant functions. We prove a fundamental theorem of Bonnet-type, stating that these eight invariants under some natural conditions determine the surface up to a motion. We show that the basic geometric classes of surfaces...

Isoperimetric and Stable Sets for Log-Concave Perturbations of Gaussian Measures

César Rosales (2014)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Let be an open half-space or slab in ℝn+1 endowed with a perturbation of the Gaussian measure of the form f (p) := exp(ω(p) − c|p|2), where c > 0 and ω is a smooth concave function depending only on the signed distance from the linear hyperplane parallel to ∂ Ω. In this work we follow a variational approach to show that half-spaces perpendicular to ∂ Ω uniquely minimize the weighted perimeter in Ω among sets enclosing the same weighted volume. The main ingredient of the proof is the characterization...
