Automorphisms of spatial curves

Ivan Bradáč (1997)

Archivum Mathematicum

Automorphisms of curves y = y ( x ) , z = z ( x ) in 𝐑 3 are investigated; i.e. invertible transformations, where the coordinates of the transformed curve y ¯ = y ¯ ( x ¯ ) , z ¯ = z ¯ ( x ¯ ) depend on the derivatives of the original one up to some finite order m . While in the two-dimensional space the problem is completely resolved (the only possible transformations are the well-known contact transformations), the three-dimensional case proves to be much more complicated. Therefore, results (in the form of some systems of partial differential equations...

Bounding the degree of solutions to Pfaff equations

Marco Brunella, Luis Gustavo Mendes (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We study hypersurfaces of complex projective manifolds which are invariant by a foliation, or more generally which are solutions to a Pfaff equation. We bound their degree using classical results on logarithmic forms.

Bundle functors with the point property which admit prolongation of connections

W. M. Mikulski (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let F:ℳ f →ℱℳ be a bundle functor with the point property F(pt) = pt, where pt is a one-point manifold. We prove that F is product preserving if and only if for any m and n there is an m , n -canonical construction D of general connections D(Γ) on Fp:FY → FM from general connections Γ on fibred manifolds p:Y → M.

Calculus of variations with differential forms

Saugata Bandyopadhyay, Bernard Dacorogna, Swarnendu Sil (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study integrals of the form Ω f d ω , where 1 k n , f : Λ k is continuous and ω is a k - 1 -form. We introduce the appropriate notions of convexity, namely ext. one convexity, ext. quasiconvexity and ext. polyconvexity. We study their relations, give several examples and counterexamples. We finally conclude with an application to a minimization problem.

Canonical 1-forms on higher order adapted frame bundles

Jan Kurek, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let ( M , ) be a foliated m + n -dimensional manifold M with n -dimensional foliation . Let V be a finite dimensional vector space over 𝐑 . We describe all canonical ( ol m , n -invariant) V -valued 1 -forms Θ : T P r ( M , ) V on the r -th order adapted frame bundle P r ( M , ) of ( M , ) .

Canonical symplectic structures on the r-th order tangent bundle of a symplectic manifold.

Jan Kurek, Wlodzimierz M. Mikulski (2006)

Extracta Mathematicae

We describe all canonical 2-forms Λ(ω) on the r-th order tangent bundle TrM = Jr0 (R;M) of a symplectic manifold (M, ω). As a corollary we deduce that all canonical symplectic structures Λ(ω) on TrM over a symplectic manifold (M, ω) are of the form Λ(ω) = Σrk=0 αkω(k) for all real numbers αk with αr ≠ 0, where ω(k) is the (k)-lift (in the sense of A. Morimoto) of ω to TrM.
