This paper is a contribution to the mathematical modelling of the hump effect. We present a mathematical study (existence, homogenization) of a Hamilton-Jacobi problem which represents the propagation of a front flame in a striated media.
We determine in the form of curves corresponding to strictly monotone functions as well as the components of affine connections for which any image of under a compact-free group of affinities containing the translation group is a geodesic with respect to . Special attention is paid to the case that contains many dilatations or that is a curve in . If is a curve in and is the translation group then we calculate not only the components of the curvature and the Weyl tensor but...
Given a finite additive abelian group and an integer , with , denote by the simple incidence structure whose point-set is and whose blocks are the -subsets of such that . It is known (see [Caggegi, A., Di Bartolo, A., Falcone, G.: Boolean 2-designs and the embedding of a 2-design in a group arxiv 0806.3433v2, (2008), 1–8.]) that is a 2-design, if is an elementary abelian -group with a prime divisor of .

A Walker 4-manifold is a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M₄,g) of neutral signature, which admits a field of parallel null 2-planes. We study almost paracomplex structures on 4-dimensional para-Kähler-Walker manifolds. In particular, we obtain conditions under which these almost paracomplex structures are integrable, and the corresponding para-Kähler forms are symplectic. We also show that Petean's example of a nonflat indefinite Kähler-Einstein 4-manifold is a special case of our constructions.
We focus our attention on projectively flat affine surfaces. First, we classify the affine surfaces with projectively flat induced connection and constant Pick invariant. We also investigate the compact case and study how the geometry at the boundary determines the geometry of the surface.
