Geodesies on typical convex surfaces

Peter Manfred Gruber (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Using Baire categories uniqueness of geodesic segments and existence of closed geodesics on typical convex surfaces are investigated.

Géométrie systolique et métriques polyèdrales sur les 3-variétés de Bieberbach

Chady El Mir (2008/2009)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

La systole d’une variété riemannienne compacte non simplement connexe est la plus petite longueur d’une courbe fermée non contractile ; le rapport systolique est le quotient ( systole ) n / volume . Sa borne supérieure, sur l’ensemble des métriques riemanniennes, est fini pour une large classe de variétés, dont les  K ( π , 1 ) .On étudie le rapport systolique optimal des variétés de Bieberbach compactes, orientables de dimension 3 qui ne sont pas des tores, et on démontre en utilisant des constructions de métriques polyèdrales...

Geometry of compactifications of locally symmetric spaces

Lizhen Ji, Robert Macpherson (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For a locally symmetric space M , we define a compactification M M ( ) which we call the “geodesic compactification”. It is constructed by adding limit points in M ( ) to certain geodesics in M . The geodesic compactification arises in other contexts. Two general constructions of Gromov for an ideal boundary of a Riemannian manifold give M ( ) for locally symmetric spaces. Moreover, M ( ) has a natural group theoretic construction using the Tits building. The geodesic compactification plays two fundamental roles in...

Geometry of oblique projections

E. Andruchow, Gustavo Corach, D. Stojanoff (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a unital C*-algebra. Denote by P the space of selfadjoint projections of A. We study the relationship between P and the spaces of projections P a determined by the different involutions a induced by positive invertible elements a ∈ A. The maps φ : P P a sending p to the unique q P a with the same range as p and Ω a : P a P a sending q to the unitary part of the polar decomposition of the symmetry 2q-1 are shown to be diffeomorphisms. We characterize the pairs of idempotents q,r ∈ A with ||q-r|| < 1 such that...

Global Gronwall estimates for integral curves on Riemannian manifolds.

Michael Kunzinger, Hermann Schichl, Roland Steinbauer, James A. Vickers (2006)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We prove Gronwall-type estimates for the distance of integral curves of smooth vector fields on a Riemannian manifold. Such estimates are of central importance for all methods of solving ODEs in a verified way, i.e., with full control of roundoff errors. Our results may therefore be seen as a prerequisite for the generalization of such methods to the setting of Riemannian manifolds.

Groupes du ping-pong et géodésiques fermées en courbure -1

Françoise Dal'bo, Marc Peigné (1996)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Nous considérons une famille de groupes libres et discrets d’isométries orientées agissant sur la boule hyperbolique 𝔹 d et contenant des transformations paraboliques; nous démontrons que le nombre de géodésiques fermées de 𝔹 d / Γ de longueur au plus a est équivalent à e a δ a δ , où δ désigne l’exposant critique de la série de Poincaré.
