Parallel hypersurfaces

Barbara Opozda, Udo Simon (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We investigate parallel hypersurfaces in the context of relative hypersurface geometry, in particular including the cases of Euclidean and Blaschke hypersurfaces. We describe the geometric relations between parallel hypersurfaces in terms of deformation operators, and we apply the results to the parallel deformation of special classes of hypersurfaces, e.g. quadrics and Weingarten hypersurfaces.

Parallelisability conditions for differentiable three-webs

Alena Vanžurová (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

Our aim is to find conditions under which a 3-web on a smooth 2 n -dimensional manifold is locally equivalent with a web formed by three systems of parallel n -planes in R 2 n . We will present here a new approach to this “classical” problem using projectors onto the distributions of tangent subspaces to the leaves of foliations forming the web.

Parallelograms inscribed in a curve having a circle as π/2-isoptic

Andrzej Miernowski (2008)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as π/2-isoptics have the similar property.
