Study finds rigid submanifolds in spacelike waves under specific conditions.

problem Understanding rigidity of submanifolds in spacelike waves.
method Proves submanifolds are contained in characteristic lightlike hypersurfaces under certain conditions.
result Complete codimension two submanifolds are wavefronts under specific conditions.

We construct the infinite sequence of invariants for curves in surfaces by using word theory that V. Turaev introduced. For plane closed curves, we add some extra terms, e.g. the rotation number. From these modified invariants, we get the Arnold's basic invariants and some other invariants. We also express how these in…

By Hartman--Nirenberg's theorem, any complete flat hypersurface in Euclidean space must be a cylinder over a plane curve. However, if we admit some singularities, there are many non-trivial examples. Flat fronts are flat hypersurfaces with admissible singularities. Murata--Umehara gave a representation formula for comp…

It is classically known that complete flat surfaces in Euclidean 3-space are cylinders over space curves. This implies that the study of global behaviour of flat surfaces requires the study of singular points as well. If a flat surface ff admits singularities but its Gauss map νν can be smoothly extended across the s…

We show that the set of augmentations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of a Legendrian link underlies the structure of a unital A-infinity category. This differs from the non-unital category constructed in [BC], but is related to it in the same way that cohomology is related to compactly supported cohomology. The exi…

A general class of Lorentzian metrics, M0xR2M_0 x R^2, ds2=<.,.>+2dudv+H(x,u)du2ds^2 = <.,.> + 2 du dv + H(x,u) du^2, with (M0,<.,.>(M_0, <.,.> any Riemannian manifold, is introduced in order to generalize classical exact plane fronted waves. Here, we start a systematic study of their main geodesic properties: geodesic completeness, geodesic connected…

We describe the space of isometric immersions from the Lorentz plane L2L^2 into the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, and solve several open problems of this context raised by M. Dajczer and K. Nomizu in 1981. We also obtain from the above result a description of the space of Lorentzian flat tori isometrically immers…

Explicit formulas for Hattori-Stong integrability conditions and manifolds' signature properties.

method Combinatorial techniques to derive explicit formulas for Chern class coefficients and signature conditions.
result An evenness condition for the signature of stably almost-complex manifolds in terms of Chern numbers.

After Galvez, Martinez and Milan discovered a (Weierstrass-type) holomorphic representation formula for flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space, the first, third and fourth authors here gave a framework for complete flat fronts with singularities in H^3. In the present work we broaden the notion of completeness to weak com…

Study focal surfaces of wave fronts with unbounded curvatures.

problem Characterizing singularities of focal surfaces near non-degenerate singular points.
method Characterizations based on types of singularities and geometrical properties of initial fronts.

The paper studies circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves in Euclidean space.

problem Investigating properties of framed curves and their evolutes and involutes.
method Definition and analysis of circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves, properties of normal surfaces, and their relations.
result Circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves are opposite operations under suitable assumptions, similar to fronts in the Euclidean plane.

We characterize singularities of focal surfaces of wave fronts in terms of differential geometric properties of the initial wave fronts. Moreover, we study relationships between geometric properties of focal surfaces and geometric invariants of the initial wave fronts.

result Derive a Gauss-Bonnet type theorem for D4D_4^--fronts.

Legendre curves are smooth plane curves which may have singular points, but still have a well defined smooth normal (and corresponding tangent) vector field. Because of the existence of singular points, the usual curvature concept for regular curves cannot be straightforwardly extended to these curves. However, Fukunag…

We give criteria for which a principal curvature becomes a bounded CC^\infty-function at non-degenerate singular points of wave fronts by using geometric invariants. As applications, we study singularities of parallel surfaces and extended distance squared functions of wave fronts. Moreover, we relate these singularit…

FDR criterion simplifies complex causal graphs to a standard front-door setting.

problem Complex causal graphs make identification of causal effects difficult and computationally infeasible.
method Front-door reducibility (FDR) criterion and FDR-TID algorithm.
result Many graphs can be simplified to a standard front-door setting, making causal effect identification simpler and more interpretable.

Recently Arnold's $\St$ and J±J^{\pm} invariants of generic planar curves have been generalized to the case of generic planar wave fronts. We generalize these invariants to the case of wave fronts on an arbitrary surface FF. All invariants satisfying the axioms which naturally generalize the axioms used by Arnold are …

It is well-known that the unit cotangent bundle of any Riemannian manifold has a canonical contact structure. A surface in a Riemannian 3-manifold is called a (wave) front if it is the projection of a Legendrian immersion into the unit cotangent bundle. We shall give easily-computable criteria for a singular point on a…

We shall investigate flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with admissible singularities, called `flat fronts'. An Osserman-type inequality for complete flat fronts is shown. When equality holds in this inequality, we show that all the ends are embedded. Moreover, we shall give new examples for which equality holds.

In this note we present a description of wave front evolving from an algebraic hypersurface by means of a pull-back of the discriminantal loci of a tame polynomial via a polynomial mapping. As an application we give examples of wave fronts which define free/almost free divisors near the focal point.

Two wave fronts W1W_1 and W2W_2 that originated at some points of the manifold MnM^n are said to be causally related if one of them passed through the origin of the other before the other appeared. We define the causality relation invariant CR(W1,W2)CR (W_1, W_2) to be the algebraic number of times the earlier born front pass…

We give a definition of `coherent tangent bundles', which is an intrinsic formulation of wave fronts. In our application of coherent tangent bundles for wave fronts, the first fundamental forms and the third fundamental forms are considered as induced metrics of certain homomorphisms between vector bundles. They satisf…

We construct a complete, bounded Legendrian immersion in C^3. As direct applications of it, we show the first examples of a weakly complete bounded flat front in hyperbolic 3-space, a weakly complete bounded flat front in de Sitter 3-space, and a weakly complete bounded improper affine front in R^3.
