Studies projective geometry and partial differential equations prolongation.

problem Understanding the prolongation of overdetermined geometric partial differential equations.
method Introduction to differential geometry and tractor calculus, study of prolongation of equations.
result Recovery of projective tractor and cotractor connections via partial differential equations prolongation.

A new field of discrete differential geometry is presently emerging on the border between differential and discrete geometry. Whereas classical differential geometry investigates smooth geometric shapes (such as surfaces), and discrete geometry studies geometric shapes with finite number of elements (such as polyhedra)…

Quaternionic differential geometry expands geometric concepts using quaternions.

problem Generalizing geometric concepts to quaternionic constraints.
method Generalizing curves and surfaces, curvature, torsion, differential forms, and directional derivatives to quaternionic constraints.
result Quaternionic formalism provides a suitable language for differential geometry.

In our previous paper entitled "Axiomatic differential geometry -towards model categories of differential geometry-, we have given a category-theoretic framework of differential geometry. As the first part of our series of papers concerned with differential-geometric developments within the above axiomatic scheme, this…

Survey of geometry developments, including complex structures on surfaces.

problem Enumerative geometry and complex structures on surfaces.
method Differential and algebraic geometry, nonlinear elliptic PDEs.

Study surfaces with constant ratio of principal curvatures in Euclidean and isotropic geometries.

problem Characterize surfaces with constant ratio of principal curvatures in different geometries.
method Differential geometry, line geometry, Lie sphere geometry, ordinary differential equations, algebraic geometry.
result Characterized various types of surfaces like rotational, channel, ruled, helical, and translational.

In this paper is proposed a kind of model theory for our axiomatic differential geometry. It is claimed that smooth manifolds, which have occupied the center stage in differential geometry, should be replaced by functors on the category of Weil algebras. Our model theory is geometrically natural and conceptually motiva…

Extends differential geometry concepts to manifolds with super tangent bundles.

problem No specific problem stated; extending differential geometry to super tangent bundles.
method Introduces super tangent bundle and extends differential geometry concepts.
result Basic notions of differential geometry extended to manifolds with super tangent bundles.

We study the fundamental properties of curvature in groupoids within the framework of synthetic differential geometry. As is usual in synthetic differential geometry, its combinatorial nature is emphasized. In particular, the classical Bianchi identity is deduced from its combinatorial one.

In this paper, as the second in our series of papers on differential geometry of microlinear Frolicher spaces, we study differenital forms. The principal result is that the exterior differentiation is uniquely determined geometrically, just as grad (ient), div (ergence) and rot (ation) are uniquely determined geometric…

Groupoids provide a more appropriate framework for differential geometry than principal bundles. Synthetic differential geometry is the avant-garde branch of differential geometry, in which nilpotent infinitesimals are available in abundance. The principal objective in this paper is to show within our favorite framewor…

We give a brief review of a research made in the field of differential geometry in Estonia in the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the present time. The biographic data of mathematicians who made a valuable contribution to the development of differential geometry in Estonia in mentioned period are prese…

The paper uses complex-valued functions to simplify plane differential geometry and kinematics.

problem Simplifying complex problems in plane differential geometry and kinematics.
method Consistent use of complex-valued functions of a real variable.
result Derives results in a particularly simple, uniform, and transparent way.

Symmetry-breaking in three differential geometry conjectures.

problem Exploring the role of symmetry in three differential geometry conjectures.
method Examining the Carathéodory, Willmore, and Lawson Conjectures through the lens of symmetry in 3D space-forms.
result Symmetry is broken, and more general ambient metrics are considered, leading to the failure of the conjectures.

Some differential equations are considered in the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry. Here, this means that not only nilpotent infinitesimals, but also the formation of function spaces, is exploited. In particular, we utilize distribution spaces in our study of wave and heat equations.

The field of multiple view geometry has seen tremendous progress in reconstruction and calibration due to methods for extracting reliable point features and key developments in projective geometry. Point features, however, are not available in certain applications and result in unstructured point cloud reconstructions.…

We discuss in some generality aspects of noncommutative differential geometry associated with reality conditions and with differential calculi. We then describe the differential calculus based on derivations as generalization of vector fields, and we show its relations with quantum mechanics. Finally we formulate a gen…

String backgrounds and D-branes do not possess the structure of Lorentzian manifolds, but that of manifolds with area metric. Area metric geometry is a true generalization of metric geometry, which in particular may accommodate a B-field. While an area metric does not determine a connection, we identify the appropriate…
