In the present work we define the rolling of one pseudo-Riemannian manifold over another without slipping and twisting. We compare the definition of the rolling without slipping and twisting of two manifolds isometrically embedded into a pseudo-Euclidean space with the rolling defined only by the intrinsic data, namely…

New method for rolling bodies on inclined planes, with applications to rescue operations.

In the present paper, we study the infinitesimal symmetries of the model of two Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ and $(\hat M,\hat g)$ rolling without twisting or slipping. We show that, under certain genericity hypotheses, the natural bundle projection from the state space $Q$ of the rolling model onto $M$ is a principal …

Study rolling control of Lorentzian manifolds on flat space.

We give a complete answer to the question of when two curves in two different Riemannian manifolds can be seen as trajectories of rolling one manifold on the other without twisting or slipping. We show that up to technical hypotheses, a rolling along these curves exists if and only if the geodesic curvatures of each cu…

In this paper, we consider two cases of rolling of one smooth connected complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ onto another one $(\hM,\hg)$ of equal dimension $n\geq 2$. The rolling problem $(NS)$ corresponds to the situation where there is no relative spin (or twist) of one manifold with respect to the other one. As for…

Given any smooth plane curve α(s)representing a mirror that reflects light the usual way and any radiant light source at a point in the plane, the reflected light will produce a caustic envelope. For such an envelope, we show that there is an associated curve \b{eta}(s) and a family of circles C(s) that roll on \b{eta}…

Dancing polygons and rolling balls linked via a special geometric distribution.

We study a rolling model from the perspective of probability. More precisely, we consider a Riemannian manifold rolling against Euclidean space, where the rolling is coupled with random slipping and twisting. The system is modelled by a stochastic differential equation of Stratonovich-type driven by semimartingales, on…

We present an intrinsic formulation of the kinematic problem of two $n-$dimensional manifolds rolling one on another without twisting or slipping. We determine the configuration space of the system, which is an $\frac{n(n+3)}2-$dimensional manifold. The conditions of no-twisting and no-slipping are decoded by means of …

ERDM integrates rolling forecasts with diffusion models for complex dynamics.

In the present paper we give a historical account -ranging from classical to modern results- of the problem of rolling two Riemannian manifolds one on the other, with the restrictions that they cannot instantaneously slip or spin one with respect to the other. On the way we show how this problem has profited from the d…

In this paper we bring to bear some new tools from statistical learning on the analysis of roll call data. We present a new data-driven model for roll call voting that is geometric in nature. We construct the model by adapting the "Partition Decoupling Method," an unsupervised learning technique originally developed fo…

We use the methods of geometric control theory to study extremal trajectories of vertical rolling disk. We focus on the role of symmetries of the underlying geometric structures. We demonstrate the computations in the CAS Maple package DifferentialGeometry.

We study the rolling of the Chaplygin ball in $\mathbb R^n$ over a fixed $(n-1)$--dimensional sphere without slipping and without slipping and twisting. The problems can be naturally considered within a framework of appropriate modifications of the L+R and LR systems -- well known systems on Lie groups groups with an i…

New geometric interpretation of discrete Willmore energy using rolling spheres connection.

We study the control system of a Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ rolling on the sphere $S^n$. The controllability of this system is described in terms of the holonomy of a vector bundle connection which, we prove, is isomorphic to the Riemannian holonomy group of the cone $C(M)$ of $M$. Using Berger's list, we…

The paper characterizes surfaces where the speed of a ball is constant.

A well-known and interesting family of sub-Riemannian space are the systems involving two balls rolling against each other without slipping or twisting. In this note, we show how the sub-Riemannian geodesics of these space, when the two balls are embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3 \times \mathbb{R}^3$, are horizontal curves on …

We give a description of Nurowski's conformal structure for some examples of bracket-generating rank 2 distributions in dimension 5, aka $(2,3,5)$-distributions, namely the An-Nurowski circle twistor distribution for pairs of surfaces of constant Gauss curvature rolling without slipping or twisting over each other. In …

Let R be an o-minimal expansion of the real field, and let L(R) be the language consisting of all nested Rolle leaves over R. We call a set nested subpfaffian over R if it is the projection of a boolean combination of definable sets and nested Rolle leaves over R. Assuming that R admits analytic cell decomposition, we …

Louis Poinsot has shown in 1854 that the motion of a rigid body, with one of its points fixed, can be described as the rolling without slipping of one cone, the 'body cone', along another, the 'space cone', with their common vertex at the fixed point. This description has been further refined by the second author in 19…

Understanding the exceptional Lie groups as the symmetry groups of simpler objects is a long-standing program in mathematics. Here, we explore one famous realization of the smallest exceptional Lie group, G2. Its Lie algebra acts locally as the symmetries of a ball rolling on a larger ball, but only when the ratio of r…

Explicitly taking into account the risk incurred when borrowing at a shorter tenor versus lending at a longer tenor ("roll-over risk"), we construct a stochastic model framework for the term structure of interest rates in which a frequency basis (i.e. a spread applied to one leg of a swap to exchange one floating inter…

It has been shown recently that deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (GANs) can learn to generate music in the form of piano-rolls, which represent music by binary-valued time-pitch matrices. However, existing models can only generate real-valued piano-rolls and require further post-processing, such as ha…
