The paper explores different smooth map notions on convex sets and their relationships.

problem Exploring and comparing different smooth map notions on convex sets.

In this note we prove that the level-set flow of the topologist's sine curve is a smooth closed curve. In previous work it was shown by the second author that under level-set flow, a locally-connected set in the plane evolves to be smooth, either as a curve or as a positive area region bounded by smooth curves. Here we…

By an influential theorem of Boman, a function ff on an open set UU in Rd\mathbb R^d is smooth (C\mathcal C^\infty) if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., fcf\circ c is smooth for every smooth curve c:RUc : \mathbb R \to U. In this paper we investigate the validity of this result on closed sets. Our main focus is on s…

We consider differentiable maps in the setting of Abstract Differential Geometry and we study the conditions that ensure the uniqueness of differentials in this setting. In particular, we prove that smooth maps between smooth manifolds admit a unique differential, coinciding with the usual one. Thus smooth manifolds fo…

In this article, we study the smooth mapping class group of a surface S relative to a given Cantor set, that is the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving smooth diffeomorphisms of S which preserve this Cantor set. When the Cantor set is the standard ternary Cantor set, we prove that the subgroup consisting…

Let MM be a Riemannian manifold with a polar action by the Lie group GG, with section ΣMΣ\subset M and generalized Weyl group WW.

We calculate the smooth structure set of Sp×SqS^p \times S^q, S(p,q)S(p, q), for p,q2p, q \geq 2 and p+q5p+q \geq 5. As a consequence we show that in general S(4j1,4k)S(4j-1, 4k) cannot admit a group structure such that the smooth surgery exact sequence is a long exact sequence of groups. We also show that the image of forgetful map $F:…

The investigation of 3D euclidean symmetry sets (SS) and medial axis is an important area, due in particular to their various important applications. The pre-symmetry set of a surface M in 3-space (resp. smooth closed curve in 2D) is the set of pairs of points which contribute to the symmetry set, that is, the closure …
