Employing a centro-affine flow on smooth convex bodies, we generate new centro-affine differential invariants. One class of the newly defined invariants is the object of a sharp isoperimetric inequality, while other new inequalities on known centro-affine invariants are obtained as a byproduct of the flow's study. Furt…
The paper studies a specific centro-affine invariant hypersurface flow in R^(n+1).
problem Existence and uniqueness of a centro-affine invariant hypersurface flow.
method Investigates the flow's existence and uniqueness, explores its properties in centro-affine and Euclidean settings, and investigates long-time behavior.
result The hypersurface converges asymptotically toward an ellipsoid via systematically investigating evolutions of centro-affine invariants.
We prove that the only compact, origin-symmetric, strictly convex ancient solutions of the planar p centro-affine normal flows are contracting origin-centered ellipses.
In [Centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies, Int. Math. Res. Notices. doi: 10.1093/imrn/rnr110, 2011] Stancu introduced a family of centro-affine normal flows, p-flow, for 1≤p<∞. Here we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the planar p-flow for p=∞ in the class of smooth, origin-symme…
We study the asymptotic behavior of smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex bodies under the centro-affine normal flows. By means of a stability version of the Blaschke-Santaló inequality, we obtain regularity of the solutions provided that initial convex bodies have almost maximum Mahler volume. We prove that suitab…
It is shown that the volume entropy of a Hilbert geometry associated to an n-dimensional convex body of class C1,1 equals n−1. To achieve this result, a new projective invariant of convex bodies, similar to the centro-affine area, is constructed. In the case n=2, and without any assumption on the boundary, i…
A control system q˙=f(q,u) is said to be trivializable if there exists local coordinates in which the system is feedback equivalent to a control system of the form q˙=f(u). In this paper we characterize trivializable control systems and control systems for which, up to a feedback transformation, f a…
We consider non-degenerate centro-affine hypersurface immersions in R^n whose cubic form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the affine metric. There exists a bijective correspondence between homothetic families of proper affine hyperspheres with center in the origin and with parallel cubic form, …
We study the relation between the centro-affine geometry of star-shaped planar curves and the projective geometry of parametrized maps into $\RP^1$. We show that projectivization induces a map between differential invariants and a bi-Poisson map between Hamiltonian structures. We also show that a Hamiltonian evolution …
In this paper, we first establish an equivalence theorem of Minkowski spaces by using results in centro-affine differential geometry. As an application in Finsler geometry, we gives some new characterizations of Berwald spaces.
We consider two types of p-centro affine flows on smooth, centrally symmetric, closed convex planar curves, p-contracting, respectively, p-expanding. Here p is an arbitrary real number greater than 1. We show that, under any p-contracting flow, the evolving curves shrink to a point in finite time and the only…
We study the long time behavior of the volume preserving p-flow in Rn+1 for 1≤p<n−1n+1. By extending Andrews' technique for the flow along the affine normal, we prove that every centrally symmetric solution to the volume preserving p-flow converges sequentially to the unit ball in the $…
I give a theory of Moebius-flat hypersurfaces in n-dimensional projective space, analogous to that in conformal geometry. This unifies the classes of hypersurfaces with flat induced conformal structure (n > 3) and a classically studied class of surfaces (n = 3). I extend an example of Akivis-Konnov, and use polynomial …
R. Schwartz's inequality provides an upper bound for the Schwarzian derivative of a parameterization of a circle in the complex plane and on the potential of Hill's equation with coexisting periodic solutions. We prove a discrete version of this inequality and obtain a version of the planar Blaschke-Santalo inequality …
We show that the perturbative g invariant of rational homology 3-spheres can be recovered from the LMO invariant for any simple Lie algebra g, i.e, the LMO invariant is universal among the perturbative invariants. This universality was conjectured in [25]. Since the perturbative invariants dominate …
