Ideal triangulations of 3-manifolds II; taut and angle structures.
Quello delle triangolazioni geodetiche ideali è un metodo molto potente per costruire strutture iperboliche complete di volume finito su 3-varietà non compatte, ma non è noto se il metodo sia applicabile in generale. È tuttavia noto che esistono triangolazioni ideali parzialmente piatte, ma l'analisi della situazione diviene più ardua sotto diversi aspetti, quando si ha a che fare con tetraedri piatti oltre che veri tetraedri. In particolare, la topologia dello spazio di identificazione può degenerare,...
Nous considérons un germe de feuilletage holomorphe singulier non-dicritique défini sur une boule fermée , satisfaisant des hypothèses génériques, de courbe de séparatrice . Nous démontrons l’existence d’un voisinage ouvert de dans tel que, pour toute feuille de , l’inclusion naturelle induit un monomorphisme au niveau du groupe fondamental. Pour cela, nous introduisons la notion géométrique de « connexité feuilletée » avec laquelle nous réinterprétons la notion d’incompressibilité....
Let be a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component, and let be the fundamental group of . The Johnson filtration is a decreasing sequence of subgroups of the Torelli group of , whose -th term consists of the self-homeomorphisms of that act trivially at the level of the -th nilpotent quotient of . Morita defined a homomorphism from the -th term of the Johnson filtration to the third homology group of the -th nilpotent quotient of . In this paper, we replace groups...
In the shape from shading problem of computer vision one attempts to recover the three-dimensional shape of an object or landscape from the shading on a single image. Under the assumptions that the surface is dusty, distant, and illuminated only from above, the problem reduces to that of solving the eikonal equation |Du|=f on a domain in . Despite various existence and uniqueness theorems for smooth solutions, we show that this problem is unstable, which is catastrophic for general numerical algorithms. ...
