Researchers classify cmc surfaces using Jacobi elliptic functions.

Harmonic maps are described using Jacobi elliptic functions.

We give a parameterization of Alfred Gray's Elliptical Catenoid and Elliptical Hellicoid using Jacobi's elliptic functions. This parameterization avoids some problems present in the original depiction of these surfaces.

A functional ansatz is developed which gives certain elliptic solutions of the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (or WDVV) equation. This is based on the elliptic trilogarithm function introduced by Beilinson and Levin. For this to be a solution results in a number of purely algebraic conditions on the set of vectors …

We prove several vanishing theorems for a class of generalized elliptic genera on foliated manifolds, by using classical equivariant index theory. The main techniques are the use of the Jacobi theta-functions and the construction of a new class of elliptic operators associated to foliations.

Defines new two-variable elliptic genera for manifolds and derives modular forms.

New elliptic genera defined for spin manifolds.

We study the Abel-Jacobi map for bisections of a certain rational elliptic surface. As an application, we construct examples of Zariski $N$-plets for conic arrangements.

Let $D$ be any elliptic right cylinder. We prove that every type of knot can be realized as the trajectory of a ball in $D.$ This proves a conjecture of Lamm and gives a new proof of a conjecture of Jones and Przytycki. We use Jacobi's proof of Poncelet's theorem by means of elliptic functions.

We construct a symplectic realization and a bi-hamiltonian formulation of a 3-dimensional system whose solution are the Jacobi elliptic functions. We generalize this system and the related Poisson brackets to higher dimensions. These more general systems are parametrized by lines in projective space. For these rank 2 P…

We study the conformally invariant variational problem for time-like curves in the $n$-dimensional Einstein universe defined by the conformal strain functional. We prove that the stationary curves are trapped into an Einsetin universe of dimension $2$, $3$ or $4$. We study the linearly-full stationary curves in a four-…

We give a one parameter family of exceptional planar 5-webs. Each web is formed by four pencils of lines and by a foliation defined by the level curves of a function sn_k(x)sn_k(y) where sn_k denotes a Jacobi's elliptic function.

The paper defines new modular forms from almost complex manifolds and derives anomaly cancellation formulas.

We characterize how to vary the Abel-Jacobi map in terms of Schiffer variation. From this characterization, we will interpret the relation of hyperellipticity of curves with Schiffer variation and describe the deformation of elliptic solitons under Schiffer variation.

The paper classifies periodic solitons in curve flows on the light-cone.

Abstract: Study of metrics on line bundles over complex varieties.

The paper extends elliptic genus and proves anomaly cancellation formulas for almost complex manifolds.

Several independent articles have observed that the Hirzebruch $χ_y$-genus has an important feature, which the author calls -1-phenomenon and tells us that the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of the $χ_y$-genus at $y=-1$ have explicit expressions. Hirzebruch's original $χ_y$-genus can be extended towards two direc…

The elliptic associator of Enriquez can be used to define an invariant of tangles embedded in the thickened torus, which extends the Kontsevich integral. This construction by Humbert uses the formulation of categories with elliptic structures. In this work we show that an extension of the LMO functor also leads to an e…

We discuss a Lie algebraic and differential geometry construction of solutions to some multidimensional nonlinear integrable systems describing diagonal metrics on Riemannian manifolds, in particular those of zero and constant curvature. Here some special solutions to the Lamé and Bourlet type equations, determining by…

In this article we will construct the Liouville parametrization of the triaxial ellipsoid. In the literature quadrics are given as examples of Liouville surfaces, yet no one gives such a parametrization. For this we introduce the generalized Jacobi amplitude as inverse of the elliptic integral of the third kind.

We prove a theorem about elliptic operators with symmetric potential functions, defined on a function space over a closed loop. The result is similar to a known result for a function space on an interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These theorems provide accurate numerical methods for finding the spectra of tho…

The purpose of this article is to determine explicitly the complete surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector, both in the complex projective plane and the complex hyperbolic plane. The main results are as follows: When the curvature of the ambient space is positive, there exists a unique such surface up to rigid mo…

Let $S$ be an elliptic surface over a smooth curve $C$ with a section $O$. We denote its generic fiber by $E_S$. For a divisor $D$ on $S$, we canonically associate a $C(C)$-rational point $P_D$. In this note, we give a description of $P_D$ of $E_S$, when the rank of the group of $C(C)$-rational points is one. We apply …

We conjecture a formula for the virtual elliptic genera of moduli spaces of rank 2 sheaves on minimal surfaces $S$ of general type. We express our conjecture in terms of the Igusa cusp form $χ_{10}$ and Borcherds type lifts of three quasi-Jacobi forms which are all related to the Weierstrass elliptic function. We also …

Confocal quadrics lie at the heart of the system of confocal coordinates (also called elliptic coordinates, after Jacobi). We suggest a discretization which respects two crucial properties of confocal coordinates: separability and all two-dimensional coordinate subnets being isothermic surfaces (that is, allowing a con…

We propose a discretization of classical confocal coordinates. It is based on a novel characterization thereof as factorizable orthogonal coordinate systems. Our geometric discretization leads to factorizable discrete nets with a novel discrete analog of the orthogonality property. A discrete confocal coordinate system…

Let $x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$. For $φ:\mathbb{R}^{n}\mapsto\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $t\in\mathbb{R}$, we put $φ^{t}=t^{-1}φ(xt)$. A projective flow is a solution to the projective translation equation $φ^{t+s}=φ^{t}\circφ^{s}$, $t,s\in\mathbb{R}$. Previously we have developed an arithmetic, topologic and analytic theory of $2$-d…

A new definition for vector fields extends the Jacobi set concept.

We study Jacobi structures on the dual bundle $A^\ast$ to a vector bundle $A$ such that the Jacobi bracket of linear functions is again linear and the Jacobi bracket of a linear function and the constant function 1 is a basic function. We prove that a Lie algebroid structure on $A$ and a 1-cocycle $φ\in Γ(A^\ast)$ indu…

New action functionals for sigma models on Jacobi bundles.

Explains Conway's tangle trick and its mathematical origins.

We use the supergeometric formalism, more precisely, the so-called "big bracket" (for which brackets and anchors are encoded by functions on some graded symplectic manifold) to address the theory of Jacobi algebroids and bialgebroids (following mainly Iglesias-Marrero and Grabowski-Marmo as a guideline). This formalism…

Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomology and homology of Jacobi manifolds are reviewed. We present both in a unified approach using the representation of the Lie algebra of functions on itself by means of the hamiltonian vector fields. The use of the associated Lie algebroid allows to prove that the Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomolog…

Study spherical curves with curvature dependent on distance to a great circle.

We study affine Jacobi structures on an affine bundle $π:A\to M$, i.e. Jacobi brackets that close on affine functions. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between affine Jacobi structures on $A$ and Lie algebroid structures on the vector bundle $A^+=\bigcup_{p\in M}Aff(A_p,\R)$ of affine functionals. Som…

Maximizes eigenvalue of Jacobi operator on spheres.

The generalized coherent states attached to the Jacobi group realize the squeezed states. Imposing hermitian conjugacy to the generators of the Jacobi algebra, we find out the form of the weight function appearing in the scalar product. We show effectively the orthonormality of the base functions with respect to the sc…

We present a simple way of generating the infinite set of Jacobi tensors, compatible with a given one, via the "gauge transformations" of the functions on Jacobi manifold. We consider also some applications of this result to the construction of bi-Hamiltonian systems on Jacobi manifolds.

We first recall some basic definitions and facts about Jacobi manifolds, generalized Lie bialgebroids, generalized Courant algebroids and Dirac structures. We establish an one-one correspondence between reducible Dirac structures of the generalized Lie bialgebroid of a Jacobi manifold $(M,Λ,E)$ for which 1 is an admiss…

Let $\mathcal{N}$ be the space of Gaussian distribution functions over $\mathbb{R}$, regarded as a 2-dimensional statistical manifold parameterized by the mean $μ$ and the deviation $σ$. In this paper we show that the tangent bundle of $\mathcal{N}$, endowed with its natural Kähler structure, is the Siegel-Jacobi space…

We prove a result of Chern-Weil type for canonically metrized line bundles on one-parameter families of smooth complex curves. Our result generalizes a result due to J.I. Burgos Gil, J. Kramer and U. Kühn that deals with a line bundle of Jacobi forms on the universal elliptic curve over the modular curve with full leve…
