New kinematic model for a spin-rolling sphere using Darboux frame.

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…

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 …

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

We develop the concept of Cartan ribbons together with a rolling-based method to ribbonize and approximate any given surface in space by intrinsically flat ribbons. The rolling requires that the geodesic curvature along the contact curve on the surface agrees with the geodesic curvature of the corresponding Cartan deve…

New classification of conformal structures with maximal $G_2$ symmetry.

On a natural circle bundle T(M) over a 4-dimensional manifold M equipped with a split signature metric g, whose fibers are real totally null selfdual 2-planes, we consider a tautological rank 2 distribution D obtained by lifting each totally null plane horizontally to its point in the fiber. Over the open set where g i…

New geometric approach controls motion of a spinning sphere on a plane.

The topic of the paper are developments of $n$-dimensional Coxeter polyhedra. We show that the surface of such polyhedron admits a canonical cutting such that each piece can be covered by a Coxeter $(n-1)$-dimensional domain.

Study on rolling Stiefel manifolds with specific metrics.

It is known that for any non-zero $M in (-1/4,infty)$, if we roll the conic {(x,y): 4 x^2-y^2/M}=1} on a line in a plane, and then we rotate about this line the trace of a focus, then we obtain a surface of revolution D(M) with mean curvature 1. If M<=0, D(M) is embedded and it is called unduloid, if M>0, D(M) is not e…

The Blaschke rolling disk theorem is extended to non-convex domains.

Associated to the problem of rolling one surface along another there is a five-manifold M with a rank two distribution. If the two surfaces are spheres then M is the product of the rotation group SO_3 with the two-sphere and its distribution enjoys an obvious symmetry group; the product of two SO_3's, one for each sphe…

Generalized Blaschke rolling theorem for curved spaces.

Shapes can roll downhill following any curve, but often return to initial orientation after crossing multiple copies.

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…

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.

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}…

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…

The Rolling Ball Theorem asserts that given a convex body K in Euclidean space and having a smooth surface bd(K) with all principal curvatures not exceeding c>0 at all boundary points, K necessarily has the property that to each boundary point there exists a ball B_r of radius r=1/c, fully contained in K and touching b…

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.

For a convex domain $D$ that is enclosed by the hypersurface $\partial D$ of bounded normal curvature, we prove an angle comparison theorem for angles between $\partial D$ and geodesic rays starting from some fixed point in $D$, and the corresponding angles for hypersurfaces of constant normal curvature. Also, we obtai…

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 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…

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.

Rolling Diffusion improves video prediction by progressively corrupting frames based on their temporal position.

Let G be a Lie group. On the trivial principal G-bundle over the Lie algebra of G there is a natural connection whose curvature is the Lie bracket. The exponential map is given by parallel transport of this connection. If G is the diffeomorphism group of a manifold, the curvature of the natural connection is the Lie br…

Recent literature seek to forecast implied volatility derived from equity, index, foreign exchange, and interest rate options using latent factor and parametric frameworks. Motivated by increased public attention borne out of the financialization of futures markets in the early 2000s, we investigate if these extant mod…
