Variational problems and PDEs in affine differential geometry

H. Z. Li (2005)

Banach Center Publications

This paper is part of the autumn school on "Variational problems and higher order PDEs for affine hypersurfaces". We discuss variational problems in equiaffine differential geometry, centroaffine differential geometry and relative differential geometry, which have been studied by Blaschke [Bla], Chern [Ch], C. P. Wang [W], Li-Li-Simon [LLS], and Calabi [Ca-II]. We first derive the Euler-Lagrange equations in these settings; these equations are complicated, strongly nonlinear fourth order PDEs. We...

Veech Groups of Loch Ness Monsters

Piotr Przytycki, Gabriela Schmithüsen, Ferrán Valdez (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We classify Veech groups of tame non-compact flat surfaces. In particular we prove that all countable subgroups of G L + ( 2 , R ) avoiding the set of mappings of norm less than 1 appear as Veech groups of tame non-compact flat surfaces which are Loch Ness monsters. Conversely, a Veech group of any tame flat surface is either countable, or one of three specific types.
