Modules pour les familles de courbes planes

Jean-Paul Dufour (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

L’étude des familles de courbes plane différentiables se ramène a celle des diagrammes f S σ 2 S est une surface, f et σ étant différentiables. Dans la classification de ces diagrammes à équivalence près il apparaît trois types de modules: des modules locaux attachés à chaque fronce de σ , des modules semi-locaux attachés à la superposition en un même point de plusieurs situations locales, des modules globaux attachés aux “courbes de contact” le long desquelles certaines courbes sont tangentes. Nous explicitons...

Monge-Ampère equations and surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature

Mikio Tsuji (1997)

Banach Center Publications

In [24], we studied the singularities of solutions of Monge-Ampère equations of hyperbolic type. Then we saw that the singularities of solutions do not coincide with the singularities of solution surfaces. In this note we first study the singularities of solution surfaces. Next, as the applications, we consider the singularities of surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. Our problems are as follows: 1) What kinds of singularities may appear?, and 2) How can we extend the surfaces beyond the singularities?...

Morse-Bott functions with two critical values on a surface

Irina Gelbukh (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study Morse-Bott functions with two critical values (equivalently, nonconstant without saddles) on closed surfaces. We show that only four surfaces admit such functions (though in higher dimensions, we construct many such manifolds, e.g. as fiber bundles over already constructed manifolds with the same property). We study properties of such functions. Namely, their Reeb graphs are path or cycle graphs; any path graph, and any cycle graph with an even number of vertices, is isomorphic to the Reeb...

Natural pseudodistances between closed surfaces

Pietro Donatini, Patrizio Frosini (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let us consider two closed surfaces , 𝒩 of class C 1 and two functions ϕ : , ψ : 𝒩 of class C 1 , called measuring functions. The natural pseudodistance d between the pairs ( , ) , ( 𝒩 , ψ ) is defined as the infimum of Θ ( f ) : = max P | ϕ ( P ) ψ ( f ( P ) ) | as f varies in the set of all homeomorphisms from onto 𝒩 . In this paper we prove that the natural pseudodistance equals either | c 1 c 2 | , 1 2 | c 1 c 2 | , or 1 3 | c 1 c 2 | , where c 1 and c 2 are two suitable critical values of the measuring functions. This shows that a previous relation between the natural pseudodistance and critical values...
