Paper disproves Wright's periodic map conjecture.

It is an interesting question whether a given equation of motion has a periodic solution or not, and in the positive case to describe them. We investigate periodic magnetic curves in elliptic Sasakian space forms and we obtain a quantization principle for periodic magnetic flowlines on Berger spheres. We give a criteri…

The paper classifies periodic solitons in curve flows on the light-cone.

Continuous curves inscribe isosceles trapezoids in complex plane.

The study proves rigidity for mixed Hodge structures and applies to curve families.

In this work we generalize the classical notion of a (compact) twistor line in the period domain of compact complex tori. We introduce two new types of lines, which are non-compact analytic curves in the period domain of complex tori. We study the analytic properties of the compactifications of the curves, the preserva…

Minimal surfaces span periodic curves in 3D space.

We show that for any n real periodic functions f_1,..., f_n with the same period, such that f_i>0 for i<n, and a real number e >0, there is a closed curve in R^{n+1} with curvatures k_1, ..., k_n such that |k_i(t)-f_i(t)| < e for all i and t. This neither holds for closed curves in the hyperbolic space H^{n+1}, nor for…

Study on moduli spaces of sextic curves with simple singularities and their compactifications.

We study the $J-$holomorphic curves in the symplectization of the contact manifolds and prove that there exists at least one periodic Reeb orbits in any closed contact manifold with any contact form by using the well-known Gromov's nonlinear Fredholm alternative for $J-$holomorphic curves. As a corollary, we give a com…

Global rigidity theorem for curve to abelian variety maps.

We estimate from below by geometric data the eigenvalues of the periodic Sturm-Liouville operator $- 4 d^2/ds^2 + κ^2 (s)$ with potential given by the curvature of a closed curve.

Periodic points are points on Veech surfaces, whose orbit under the group of affine diffeomorphisms is finite. We characterise those points as being torsion points if the Veech surfaces is suitably mapped to its Jacobian or an appropriate factor thereof. For a primitive Veech surface in genus two we show that the only …

Paper finds maximum curvature of Bézier-spline curves.

In this letter, we propose a method for period estimation in light curves from periodic variable stars using correntropy. Light curves are astronomical time series of stellar brightness over time, and are characterized as being noisy and unevenly sampled. We propose to use slotted time lags in order to estimate corrent…

ccc-Autoevolutes are closed curves congruent to their evolutes, constructed via symmetry.

Any two equivalent discrete curves must have the same invariants at the corresponding points under an affine transformation. In this paper, we construct the moving frame and invariants for the discrete centroaffine curves, which could be used to discriminate the same discrete curves from different graphics, and estimat…

We prove existence and multiplicity of periodic motions for the forced 2-body problem under conditions of topological character. In the different cases, the lower bounds obtained for the number of solutions are related to the winding number of a curve in the plane, the homology of a space in $\R^3$, the knot type of a …

A natural parametrization of smooth projective plane curves which tolerates the presence of sextactic points is the Forsyth-Laguerre parametrization. On a closed projective plane curve, which necessarily contains sextactic points, this parametrization is, however, in general not periodic. We show that by the introducti…

Periodic surfaces have a limited number of bending modes, equal to their membrane modes.

If a curve in R^3 is closed, then the curvature and the torsion are periodic functions satisfying some additional constraints. We show that these constraints can be naturally formulated in terms of the spectral problem for a 2x2 matrix differential operator. This operator arose in the theory of the self-focusing Nonlin…

Geometric flow on curves in S^3 generates YO equations solutions.

We prove that the length difference between a closed periodic curve and its parallel curve at a sufficiently small distance is proportional to the rotation index. As an application, the rotation index of a curve could be estimated by means of Cauchy-Crofton formula.

We present the Nahm transform of the doubly-periodic instantons introduced in math.DG/9909069, converting them into certain meromorphic solutions of Hitchin's equations over an elliptic curve.

Study of Hamiltonian flows on character varieties for self-intersecting curves.

We prove that every non-positively curved locally symmetric manifold M of finite volume contains a compact set K such that no periodic maximal flat can be homotoped out of K.

We construct a compact nonpositively curved squared 2-complex whose universal cover contains a flat plane that is not the limit of periodic flat planes.

This article has two purposes. The first is to give an expository account of the integrable systems approach to harmonic maps from surfaces to Lie groups and symmetric spaces, focusing on spectral curves for harmonic 2-tori. The most unwieldy aspect of the spectral curve description is the periodicity conditions and th…

We construct embedded minimal surfaces which are $n$-periodic in $\mathbb{R}^n$. They are new for codimension $n-2\ge 2$. We start with a Jordan curve of edges of the $n$-dimensional cube. It bounds a Plateau minimal disk which Schwarz reflection extends to a complete minimal surface. Studying the group of Schwarz refl…

In this paper we describe a 1-dimensional family of initial conditions Σthat provides reduced periodic solution of the three body problem. This family Σcontains a bifurcation point and extend the periodic solution described in (Perdomo, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.01100.pdf). This 1-dimensional family is the union of two…

A geometric algorithm is introduced for finding a symplectic basis of the first integral homology group of a compact Riemann surface, which is a $p$-cyclic covering of ${\mathbb C} P^1$ branched over 3 points. The algorithm yields a previously unknown symplectic basis of the hyperelliptic curve defined by the affine eq…

Develops finite-gap solutions for Pohlmeyer--Lund--Regge equation and Lund--Regge curve evolution.

Suppose a smooth planar curve $γ$ is $2π$-periodic in the $x$ direction and the length of one period is $\ell$. It is shown that if $γ$ self-intersects, then it has a segment of length $\ell- 2π$ on which it self-intersects and somewhere its curvature is at least $2π/(\ell - 2π)$. The proof involves the projection $Γ$ …

Following a recent paper by Baryshnikov and Zharnitskii, we consider outer billiards in the plane possessing invariant curves consisting of periodic orbits. We prove the existence and abundance of such tables using tools from sub-Riemannian geometry. We also prove that the set of 3-periodic outer billiard orbits has ze…
