Constructs surfaces that can be tiled by a finite set of rigid motion congruence classes of tiles.

This monograph describes a Riemannian geometric reduction approach to the three-body problem. The fundamental theorems are presented in the introductory part, whereas their proofs are provided in later chapters where specific topics are analyzed in more detail. The basic idea is to reduce the kinematic and dynamics of …

The equation of a motion of curves in the projective plane is deduced. Local flows are defined in terms of polynomial differential functions. A family of local flows inducing the Kaup-Kupershmidt hierarchy is constructed. The integration of the congruence curves is discussed. Local motions defined by the traveling wave…

Equations for minimal surfaces from rigid motions in high dimensions.

In a recent paper (arXiv:math-ph/0609076) the authors investigated the basic global geometry of congruence moduli curves and shape curves of 3-body motions with vanishing angular momentum. Here the study is extended to the case of planary 3-body motions in general. In particular, the results on the separation of the si…

Proves congruence subgroup property for mapping class groups of hyperbolic surfaces.

I use local differential geometric techniques to prove that the algebraic cycles in certain extremal homology classes in Hermitian symmetric spaces are either rigid (i.e., deformable only by ambient motions) or quasi-rigid (roughly speaking, foliated by rigid subvarieties in a nontrivial way). These rigidity results ha…

In this note we find a generic defining function of projective motion in the 6-dimensional rigid h-space.

Diagnostic stroke imaging with C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables reduction of time-to-therapy for endovascular procedures. However, the prolonged acquisition time compared to helical CT increases the likelihood of rigid patient motion. Rigid motion corrupts the geometry alignment assumed during reconst…

We prove a rigidity theorem for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups: If $Γ_1$, $Γ_2$ are two semi-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ virtually admitting modular embeddings and $f\colonΓ_1\toΓ_2$ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then $f$ is induced by an inner automor…

In this paper, we compute sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature for a Euclidean $C^2$-smooth surface in the affine group and the group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane away from characteristic points and signed geodesic curvature for Euclidean $C^2$-smooth curves on surfaces. We get Gauss-Bonnet theorems i…

We propose a unified computational framework for the problem of deformation and rigidity of submanifolds in a homogeneous space under geometric constraint. A notion of 1-rigidity of a submanifold under admissible deformations is introduced. It measures how a deformation deviates from a one parameter family of motions u…

We derive general structure and rigidity theorems for submetries $f: M \to X$, where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $\sec M \ge 1$. When applied to a non-trivial Riemannian submersion, it follows that $diam X \leq π/2$. In case of equality, there is a Riemannian submersion $\mathbb{S} \to M$ fro…

Proves Congruence Subgroup Property for two types of groups.

Given an oriented Riemannian surface $(Σ, g)$, its tangent bundle $TΣ$ enjoys a natural pseudo-Kähler structure, that is the combination of a complex structure $\J$, a pseudo-metric $\G$ with neutral signature and a symplectic structure $\Om$. We give a local classification of those surfaces of $TΣ$ which are both Lagr…

New groupoids generalize classical motion and mapping classes.

A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used to obtain a family of Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for rigid motion intertwi…

Let f be an integer greater than one. We study three progressively finer equivalence relations on closed 3-manifolds generated by Dehn surgery with denominator f: weak f-congruence, f-congruence, and strong f-congruence. If f is odd, weak f-congruence preserves the ring structure on cohomology with Z_f-coefficients. We…

A linkage mechanism consists of rigid bodies assembled by joints which can be used to translate and transfer motion from one form in one place to another. In this paper, we are particularly interested in a family of spacial linkage mechanisms which consist of $n$-copies of a rigid body joined together by hinges to form…

Suppose that the initial triangle formed by the three moving masses of the three-body problem is similar to the triangle formed at some later time. We derive a simple integral formula for the overall rotation relating the two triangles. The formula is based on the fact that the space of similarity classes of triangles …

Consider an orientable compact surface in three dimensional Euclidean space with minimum total absolute curvature. If the Gaussian curvature changes sign to finite order and satisfies a nondegeneracy condition along closed asymptotic curves, we show that any other isometric surface differs by at most a Euclidean motion…

This is a survey of our work on Quantum Hyperbolic Invariants (QHI) of 3-manifolds. We explain how the theory of scissors congruence classes is a powerful geometric framework for QHI and for a `Volume Conjecture' to make sense.

Unified framework for studying Torelli group and congruence subgroup maps.

The aim of this note is to present simple proofs of the completeness of Manakov's integrals for a motion of a rigid body fixed at a point in $\mathbb R^n$, as well as for geodesic flows on a class of homogeneous spaces $SO(n)/SO(n_1)\times\dots\times SO(n_r)$.

Construct intrinsic Langevin dynamics for rigid inclusions on curved surfaces.

Let S be a smooth affine algebraic curve, and let S' be the Riemann surface obtained by removing a point from S. We provide evidence for the congruence subgroup property of the mapping class group Mod(S') by showing that its congruence kernel lies in the centralizer of every braid in Mod(S'). As a corollary, we obtain …

We study the motion of a charge on a conformally flat Riemannian torus in the presence of magnetic field. We prove that for any non-zero magnetic field there always exist orbits of this motion which have conjugate points. We conjecture that the restriction of conformal flatness of the metric is not essential for this r…

On the one hand, we prove that the Clifford torus in $\mathbb{C}^2$ is unstable for Lagrangian mean curvature flow under arbitrarily small Hamiltonian perturbations, even though it is Hamiltonian $F$-stable and locally area minimising under Hamiltonian variations. On the other hand, we show that the Clifford torus is r…

In this paper, we investigate a question of Breuillard and Reid concerning which genera can be obtained by closed congruence surfaces. Specifically, we study a smaller set of objects, namely the closed congruence surfaces which can be constructed by a maximal order in a quaternion algebra, and show that there is no sur…

Study of modular representations in homology of congruence subgroups.

Automorphisms of pants complex are shown to be inner.

The Square Root Normal Field (SRNF), introduced by Jermyn et al. in [3], provides a way of representing immersed surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$, and equipping the set of these immersions with a "distance function" (to be precise, a pseudometric) that is easy to compute. Importantly, this distance function is invariant under…

Using the basic Lie symmetry method, we find the most general Lie point symmetries group of the $\nabla u=f(u)$ Poisson's equation, which has a subalgebra isomorphic to the $3-$dimensional special Euclidean group ${\rm SE}(3)$ or group of rigid motions of ${\Bbb R}^3$. Looking the adjoint representation of ${\rm SE}(3)…

We show that timelike maximal cylinders in $\RR^{1 + 2}$ always develop singularities in finite time and that, infinitesimally at a generic singularity, their time slices are evolved by a rigid motion or a self-similar motion. We also prove a mild generalization in non-flat backgrounds.

In this paper, we continue studying the 6-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space V^6(g_{ij}) with signature [++--], which admits projective motions, i. e. continuous transformation groups preserving geodesics. In particular, we determine a necessary and sufficient condition that the 6-dimensional rigid h-spaces have const…
