Image sets of folding surfaces.
We characterize the boundary at infinity of a complex hyperbolic space as a compact Ptolemy space that satisfies four incidence axioms.
En 1999, M. Ledoux a démontré qu’une variété complète à courbure de Ricci positive ou nulle vérifiant une inégalité de Sobolev euclidienne était euclidienne. On présente un raccourci de la preuve. De plus nos arguments permettent un raffinement d’un résultat de B-L. Chen et X-P. Zhu à propos des variétés localement conformément plate à courbure de Ricci positive ou nulle. Enfin, on étudie ce qui se passe lorsque l’hypothèse sur la courbure de Ricci est remplacée par une hypothèse sur la courbure...
We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with C1 smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some other properties of the original functions, such as ordering, symmetries, infima and sets of minimizers), and we give some applications.
We obtain a series of new integral formulae for a distribution of arbitrary codimension (and its orthogonal complement) given on a closed Riemannian manifold, which start from the formula by Walczak (1990) and generalize ones for foliations by several authors. For foliations on space forms our formulae reduce to the classical type formulae by Brito-Langevin-Rosenberg (1981) and Brito-Naveira (2000). The integral formulae involve the conullity tensor of a distribution, and certain components of the...
In this paper we prove that each -natural metric on a linear frame bundle over a Riemannian manifold is invariant with respect to a lifted map of a (local) isometry of the base manifold. Then we define -natural metrics on the orthonormal frame bundle and we prove the same invariance result as above for . Hence we see that, over a space of constant sectional curvature, the bundle with an arbitrary -natural metric is locally homogeneous.
