General-affine invariants of plane curves and space curves

Shimpei Kobayashi, Takeshi Sasaki (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups GA ( 2 ) = GL ( 2 , ) 2 and GA ( 3 ) = GL ( 3 , ) 3 , respectively. We define general-affine length parameter and curvatures and show how such invariants determine the curve up to general-affine motions. We then study the extremal problem of the general-affine length functional and derive a variational formula. We give several examples of curves and also discuss some relations with equiaffine treatment and projective...
