The concept of invariant geometry of second order.
By using the technique of decomposition of a Hermitian vector space under the action of a unitary group, Ganchev [2] obtained a tensor which he named the Weyl component of the antiholomorphic curvature tensor. We show that the same tensor can be obtained by direct application of the conformal change of the metric to the antiholomorphic curvature tensor. Also, we find some other conformally curvature tensors and examine some relations between them.
Let be a compact CR manifold of dimension with a contact form , and its associated CR conformal laplacien. The CR Yamabe conjecture states that there is a contact form on conformal to which has a constant Webster curvature. This problem is equivalent to the existence of a function such that , on . D. Jerison and J. M. Lee solved the CR Yamabe problem in the case where and is not locally CR equivalent to the sphere of . In a join work with R. Yacoub, the CR Yamabe problem...
We study the use of a GPU for the numerical approximation of the curvature dependent flows of graphs - the mean-curvature flow and the Willmore flow. Both problems are often applied in image processing where fast solvers are required. We approximate these problems using the complementary finite volume method combined with the method of lines. We obtain a system of ordinary differential equations which we solve by the Runge-Kutta-Merson solver. It is a robust solver with an automatic choice of the...
