Extends first-order flexes of surfaces to second-order flexes.

Study on mappings between nonrigid Carnot groups, proving quasisymmetric rigidity.

Study shows nonexistence of certain geometric structures in complex geometries.

Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and have vanishing first homology group.As a consequence, a nonrigidity result for suc…

A Levi nondegenerate real analytic hypersurface M of C^2 represented in local coordinates (z, w) in C^2 by a complex defining equation of the form w = Theta (z, \bar z, \bar w) which satisfies an appropriate reality condition, is spherical if and only if its complex graphing function Theta satisfies an explicitly writt…

Study nonrigid dynamics of unitary groups on Lie groups via kinetic energy metrics.

We present simple examples of finite-dimensional connected homogeneous spaces (they are actually topological manifolds) with nonhomogeneous and nonrigid factors. In particular, we give an elementary solution of an old problem in general topology concerning homogeneous spaces.

DET unifies geometric and functional alignment for high-dimensional scientific data.

New findings show infinitely many non-homeomorphic manifolds with same proper homotopy type.

Surveying recent progress on hyperbolic 3-manifold rigidity.

For a wide range of clinical applications, such as adaptive treatment planning or intraoperative image update, feature-based deformable registration (FDR) approaches are widely employed because of their simplicity and low computational complexity. FDR algorithms estimate a dense displacement field by interpolating a sp…

Study of flat ribbons constructed along curves in 3D space.

Let $X$ be a closed oriented connected topological manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$. The structure group of $X$ is the abelian group of equivalence classes of all pairs $(f, M)$ such that $M$ is a closed oriented manifold and $f\colon M \to X$ is an orientation-preserving homotopy equivalence. The main purpose of this a…
