Knots parametrized in cylinder coordinates by t -> (st, 3 + cos(nt), cos(mt + φ)) share properties of Lissajous and billiard knots in a cylinder. We use these 'billiard knots in a flat solid torus' to study two topics: when is Z(s,n,m) equal to Z(s,m,n)? And: why are the determinants of certain Lissajous and billiard k…

This paper explores how pairs of multicurves can be realized as cylinders on translation surfaces.

We study an infinite dimensional ASD moduli space over the cylinder. Our main result is the formula of its local mean dimension. A key ingredient of the argument is the notion of non-degenerate ASD connections. We develop its deformation theory and show that there exist sufficiently many non-degenerate ASD connections …

We study the boundary of an affine invariant submanifold of a stratum of translation surfaces in a partial compactification consisting of all finite area Abelian differentials over nodal Riemann surfaces, modulo zero area components. The main result is a formula for the tangent space to the boundary. We also prove fini…

Constructs universal local deformations for curves and differential forms.

A hypersurface without umbilics in the n+1 dimensional Euclidean space is known to be determined by the Moebius metric and the Moebius second fundamental form up to a Moebius transformation when n>2. In this paper we consider Moebius rigidity for hypersurfaces and deformations of a hypersurface preserving the Moebius m…

Let T be a tree with an action of a finitely generated group G. Given a suitable equivalence relation on the set of edge stabilizers of T (such as commensurability, co-elementarity in a relatively hyperbolic group, or commutation in a commutative transitive group), we define a tree of cylinders T_c. This tree only depe…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of regularized determinants of certain Laplace type operators with respect to singular deformations of the underlying manifold which are obtained by stretching a tubular neighborhood of an embedded separating hypersurface to a cylinder of infinite length. Using the asymptotic expansion…

We analyze the indicial roots of the self-dual deformation complex on a cylinder $(\mathbb{R} \times Y^3, dt^2 + g_Y)$, where $Y^3$ is a space of constant curvature. An application is the optimal decay rate of solutions on a self-dual manifold with cylindrical ends having cross-section $Y^3$. We also resolve a conjectu…

Two references added and the introduction slightly expanded. We show that the tree-level part of a recent theory of invariants of 3-manifolds (due, independently, to Goussarov and Habiro) is essentially given by classical algebraic topology in terms of the Johnson homomorphism and Massey products, for arbitrary 3-manif…

A local deformation property for uniform embeddings in metric manifolds (LD) is formulated and its behaviour is studied in a formal view point. It is shown that any metric manifold with a geometric group action, typical metric spaces (Euclidean space, hyperbolic space and cylinders) and for κ\leq 0 the κ-cone ends over…

The study examines stable regions in weighted manifolds with boundary properties.

We construct higher genus Riemann's minimal surfaces properly embedded in the Euclidean space. To do that we glue end by end a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks examples to two halves genus zero Riemann's minimal surfaces. In first we need to perform a deformation of a Costa-Hoffman-Meeks example to prescribe the flux vector along t…

We prove that for a 7-dimensional manifold M with cylindrical ends the moduli space of exponentially asymptotically cylindrical torsion-free G_2 structures is a smooth manifold (if non-empty), and study some of its local properties. We also show that the holonomy of the induced metric of an exponentially asymptotically…

On $Spin^c$ manifolds, we study the Energy-Momentum tensor associated with a spinor field. First, we give a spinorial Gauss type formula for oriented hypersurfaces of a $Spin^c$ manifold. Using the notion of generalized cylinders, we derive the variationnal formula for the Dirac operator under metric deformation and po…

Families of objects appear in several contexts, like algebraic topology, theory of deformations, theoretical physics, etc. An unified coordinate-free algebraic framework for families of geometrical quantities is presented here, which allows one to work without introducing ad hoc spaces, by using the language of differe…

We define cylinder knots as billiard knots in a cylinder. We present a necessary condition for cylinder knots: after dividing cylinder knots by possible rotational symmetries we obtain ribbon knots. We obtain an upper bound for the number of cylinder knots with two fixed parameters (out of three). In addition we prove …

Two ancient solutions to Gauss curvature flow are identified for cylinders.

The paper develops a method to map knots in a cylinder to virtual-flat knots.

In this paper we show how the existence of a certain stable cylinder determines (locally) the ambient manifold where it is immersed. This cylinder has to verify a {\it bifurcation phenomena}, we make this explicit in the introduction. In particular, the existence of such a stable cylinder implies that the ambient manif…

Cylinders in warped product spaces have zero curvature.

We establish a vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology ($q\ge p$) of a twisted cylinder, which is a generalization of a warped cylinder. The result is new even for warped cylinders. We base on the methods for proving the $(p,q)$ Sobolev--Poincaré inequality developed by L.~Shartser.

The paper examines the stability of Killing cylinders in hyperbolic space.

Study decomposes geometric surfaces, finding special curves.

New findings on $κ$-solutions with round cylinder as asymptotic shrinker.

Round cylinders are rigid in Ricci shrinkers close to the standard product.

Stable cylinders found in hyperbolic groups and curve graphs.

Study on quantum particle evolution on Grushin cylinder, embedding in R^3.

We consider cylinders in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ (see definitions in the introduction) and prove that a complete and connected surface in ${\cal H}^2\times R$ with the vanishing of the Gauss and extrinsic curvatures is a cylinder.

In 1991, Dajczer and Rodriguez proved in [10] that a complete minimal real Kahler submanifold of codimension 2, if with complex dimension > 2, would be either holomorphic, or a cylinder, or complex ruled. In this article, we generalize their result to real analytic complete real Kahler submanifolds of codimension 4. Th…

Study proves uniqueness and rigidity of cylindrical self-shrinkers using Łojasiewicz inequalities.

In this article we prove that a connected and properly embedded translating soliton in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with uniformly bounded genus on compact sets which is $C^1$-asymptotic to two planes outside a cylinder, either is flat or coincides with the grim reaper cylinder.

Proves a Minkowski inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces in warped cylinders.

For an orientable surface of finite type equipped with a flat metric with holonomy of finite order q, the set of maximal embedded cylinders can be empty, non-empty, finite, or infinite. The case when q < 3 is well-studied as such surfaces are (semi-)translation surfaces. Not only is the set always infinite, the core cu…

Paper proves uniqueness of catenary cylinders based on their asymptotic shape.

We cut a hyperbolic surface of finite area along some analytic simple closed curves, and glue in cylinders of varying moduli. We prove that as the moduli of the glued cylinders go to infinity, the Fenchel-Nielsen twist coordinates for the resulting surface around those cylinders converge.

The refined analytic torsion on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary has been discussed by B. Vertman and the authors, but these two constructions are completely different. Vertman used a double of de Rham complex consisting of the minimal and maximal closed extensions of a flat connection and the authors used we…

New method proves inequalities for self-shrinkers using perturbation.

We give a Dehn-Nielsen type theorem for the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders by considering its action on the acyclic closure, which was defined by Levine, of a free group. Then we construct an additive invariant of those homology cylinders which act on the acyclic closure trivially. We also describe some…

We derive all possible causality conditions for conformally flat Lorentzian metrics on the two-dimensional cylinder.

A homology cylinder over a surface consists of a homology cobordism between two copies of the surface and markings of its boundary. The set of isomorphism classes of homology cylinders over a fixed surface has a natural monoid structure and it is known that this monoid can be seen as an enlargement of the mapping class…
