Feuilletages conformes

Cédric Tarquini (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Dans cet article nous montrons que tout feuilletage conforme, transversalement analytique, de codimension supérieure ou égale à trois sur une variété compacte connexe est transversalement Möbius ou riemannien. Ce théorème peut être vu comme une généralisation, transversalement à un feuilletage, du théorème Ferrand-Obata.

First variation of the general curvature-dependent surface energy

Günay Doğan, Ricardo H. Nochetto (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider general surface energies, which are weighted integrals over a closed surface with a weight function depending on the position, the unit normal and the mean curvature of the surface. Energies of this form have applications in many areas, such as materials science, biology and image processing. Often one is interested in finding a surface that minimizes such an energy, which entails finding its first variation with respect to perturbations of the surface. We present a concise derivation...

Flat 3-webs of degree one on the projective plane

A. Beltrán, M. Falla Luza, D. Marín (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The aim of this work is to study global 3 -webs with vanishing curvature. We wish to investigate degree 3 foliations for which their dual web is flat. The main ingredient is the Legendre transform, which is an avatar of classical projective duality in the realm of differential equations. We find a characterization of degree 3 foliations whose Legendre transform are webs with zero curvature.
