A novel method for parallel transport and geodesics on submanifolds.

We equip the whole tangent space TMTM to a hyperbolic manifold MM (of constant sectional curvature -1) with a natural metric in an intrinsic way, so that the isometries of MM extend to isometries of TMTM by holomorphic continuation. The image to the tangent space to a geodesic is equivalent to a hyperbolic disk. In t…

For an nn-dimensional real hyperbolic manifold MM, we calculate the Zariski tangent space of a character variety χ(π1(M),SL(n+1,R)),n>2χ(π_1(M),SL(n+1,\mathbb R)), n>2 at Fuchisan loci to show that the tangent space consists of cubic forms. Furthermore we prove the Weil's local rigidity theorem for uniforml hyperbolic lattices using rea…

Motivated by a remark and a question of Nicholas Katz, we characterize the tangent space of the space of Fuchsian equations with given generic exponents inside the corresponding moduli space of logarithmic connections: we construct a weight 1 Hodge structure on the tangent space of the moduli of logarithmic connections…

We show that a diffeological bundle gives rise to an exact sequence of internal tangent spaces. We then introduce two new classes of diffeological spaces, which we call weakly filtered and filtered diffeological spaces, whose tangent spaces are easier to understand. These are the diffeological spaces whose categories o…

In this note we show that for any proper action of a Banach--Lie group GG on a Banach manifold MM, the corresponding tangent maps $\g \to T_x(M)$ have closed range for each xMx \in M, i.e., the tangent spaces of the orbits are closed. As a consequence, for each free proper action on a Hilbert manifold, the quotient $…

Manifold hypotheses are typically used for tasks such as dimensionality reduction, interpolation, or improving classification performance. In the less common problem of manifold estimation, the task is to characterize the geometric structure of the manifold in the original ambient space from a sample. We focus on the r…

There has been an emerging trend in non-Euclidean statistical analysis of aiming to recover a low dimensional structure, namely a manifold, underlying the high dimensional data. Recovering the manifold requires the noise to be of certain concentration. Existing methods address this problem by constructing an approximat…

Following recent work by Ghomi, Solomon and Tabachnikov, we study geometry and topology of skew branes. A skew brane is a codimension 2 submanifold in affine space such that the tangent spaces at any pair of distinct points are not parallel. We prove that if an oriented closed manifold has a non-zero Euler characterist…

Frölicher spaces form a cartesian closed category which contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full subcategory.

We study the manifold of all Riemannian metrics over a closed, finite-dimensional manifold. In particular, we investigate the topology on the manifold of metrics induced by the distance function of the L^2 Riemannian metric - so called because it induces an L^2 topology on each tangent space. It turns out that this top…

Given 2 points of a smooth hypersurface, their mid-hyperplane is the hyperplane passing through their mid-point and the intersection of their tangent spaces. In this paper we study the envelope of these mid-hyperplanes (EMH) at pairs whose tangent spaces are transversal. We prove that this envelope consists of centers …
