Relaxed hyperelastic curves

Ahmet Yücesan, Gözde Özkan, Yasemín Yay (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We define relaxed hyperelastic curve, which is a generalization of relaxed elastic lines, on an oriented surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space E³, and we derive the intrinsic equations for a relaxed hyperelastic curve on a surface. Then, by examining relaxed hyperelastic curves in a plane, on a sphere and on a cylinder, we show that geodesics are relaxed hyperelastic curves in a plane and on a sphere. But on a cylinder, they are relaxed hyperelastic curves only in special cases.

Remark on bilinear operations on tensor fields

Jan Slovák (2020)

Archivum Mathematicum

This short note completes the results of [3] by removing the locality assumption on the operators. After providing a quick survey on (infinitesimally) natural operations, we show that all the bilinear operators classified in [3] can be characterized in a completely algebraic way, even without any continuity assumption on the operations.

Remarks on Grassmannian Symmetric Spaces

Lenka Zalabová, Vojtěch Žádník (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

The classical concept of affine locally symmetric spaces allows a generalization for various geometric structures on a smooth manifold. We remind the notion of symmetry for parabolic geometries and we summarize the known facts for | 1 | -graded parabolic geometries and for almost Grassmannian structures, in particular. As an application of two general constructions with parabolic geometries, we present an example of non-flat Grassmannian symmetric space. Next we observe there is a distinguished torsion-free...

Remarks on the symmetries of planar fronts.

F. Aicardi (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

A front is the projection on the plane of a Legendrian immersion of a circle in the space of the contact elements of that plane. I analyze the symmetries of a generic front with respect to the group generated by the involutions reversing the orientation of the plane, the orientation of the preimage circle and the coorientation of the contact plane.
