On a new normalization for tractor covariant derivatives

Matthias Hammerl, Petr Somberg, Vladimír Souček, Josef Šilhan (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A regular normal parabolic geometry of type G / P on a manifold M gives rise to sequences D i of invariant differential operators, known as the curved version of the BGG resolution. These sequences are constructed from the normal covariant derivative ω on the corresponding tractor bundle V , where ω is the normal Cartan connection. The first operator D 0 in the sequence is overdetermined and it is well known that ω yields the prolongation of this operator in the homogeneous case M = G / P . Our first main result...

On inversions of van der Grinten projections

Tomáš Bayer, Milada Kočandrlová (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

Approximately 150 map projections are known, but the inverse forms have been published for only two-thirds of them. This paper focuses on finding the inverse forms of van der Grinten projections I--IV, both by non-linear partial differential equations and by the straightforward inverse of their projection equations. Taking into account the particular cases, new derivations of coordinate functions are also presented. Both the direct and inverse equations have the analytic form, are easy to implement...
