On Weingarten surfaces
Decomposing the space of k-tensors on a manifold M into the components invariant and irreducible under the action of GL(n) (or O(n) when M carries a Riemannian structure) one can define generalized gradients as differential operators obtained from a linear connection ∇ on M by restriction and projection to such components. We study the ellipticity of gradients defined in this way.
We prove unicity of certain minimal submanifolds, for example Clifford annuli in . The idea is to consider the placement of the submanifold with respect to the (singular) foliation of by the Clifford annuli whose boundary are two fixed great circles a distance apart.
We explore the interior geometry of the CAT(0) spaces , constructed by Croke and Kleiner [Topology 39 (2000)]. In particular, we describe a diffraction effect experienced by the family of geodesic rays that emanate from a basepoint and pass through a certain singular point called a triple point, and we describe the shadow this family casts on the boundary. This diffraction effect is codified in the Transformation Rules stated in Section 3 of this paper. The Transformation Rules have various applications....
We prove that the well-known Harder-Narsimhan filtration theory for bundles over a complex curve and the theory of optimal destabilizing -parameter subgroups are the same thing when considered in the gauge theoretical framework.Indeed, the classical concepts of the GIT theory are still effective in this context and the Harder-Narasimhan filtration can be viewed as a limit object for the action of the gauge group, in the direction of an optimal destabilizing vector. This vector appears as an extremal...
In [6], orbifold G-bundles on a certain class of elliptic fibrations over a smooth complex projective curve X were related to parabolic G-bundles over X. In this continuation of [6] we define and investigate holomorphic connections on an orbifold G-bundle over an elliptic fibration.
