Study properties of surfaces with nonvanishing third fundamental form.

Study shows the second fundamental form of pseudospherical surfaces is universal and not dependent on specific solutions.

Paper proves Simon's third gap conjecture for minimal surfaces in spheres.

We give a definition of `coherent tangent bundles', which is an intrinsic formulation of wave fronts. In our application of coherent tangent bundles for wave fronts, the first fundamental forms and the third fundamental forms are considered as induced metrics of certain homomorphisms between vector bundles. They satisf…

A classical theorem, mainly due to Aleksandrov and Pogorelov, states that any Riemannian metric on $S^2$ with curvature $K>-1$ is induced on a unique convex surface in $H^3$. A similar result holds with the induced metric replaced by the third fundamental form. We show that the same phenomenon happens with yet another …

Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary, which admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We consider the hyperbolic metrics on $M$ such that the boundary is smooth and strictly convex. We show that the induced metrics on the boundary are exactly the metrics with curvature $K>-1$, and that the th…

In this paper, we study the inverse surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. We obtain some results relating Christoffel symbols, the normal curvatures, the shape operators and the third fundamental forms of the inverse surfaces

We classify, up to a local isometry, all non-Kahler almost Kahler 4-manifolds for which the fundamental 2-form is an eigenform of the Weyl tensor, and whose Ricci tensor is invariant with respect to the almost complex structure. Equivalently, such almost Kahler 4-manifolds satisfy the third curvature condition of A. Gr…

We consider surfaces of revolution in the three-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form. We show that a surface of revolution satisfying the preceding relation is a catenoid or part of a sphere.

We find the complete set of fundamental invariants for systems of ordinary differential equations of order $\ge 4$ under the group of point transformations generalizing similar results for contact invariants of a single ODE and point invariants of systems of the second and the third order. It turns out that starting fr…

We construct elements of the third quandle homology groups of knot quandles, which are called the shadow fundamental classes. They play the same roles for the shadow quandle cocycle invariants of knots as the fundamental classes of knot quandles does for the quandle cocycle invariants. As an application of the shadow f…

In this paper, we study ruled surfaces and quadrics in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of finite $III$-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, with respect to the third fundamental form. We show that helicoids and spheres are the only ruled and quadric surfaces of finite $III$-ty…

We extend the notion of multi-moment map to geometries defined by closed forms of arbitrary degree. We give fundamental existence and uniqueness results and discuss a number of essential examples, including geometries related to special holonomy. For forms of degree four, multi-moment maps are guaranteed to exist and a…

Study non-standard bi-orders on punctured torus bundles, matching standard ones in key subgroups.

We compute the characteristic Cartan connection associated with a system of third order ODEs. Our connection is different from Tanaka normal one, but still is uniquely associated with the system of third order ODEs. This allows us to find all fundamental invariants of a system of third order ODEs and, in particular, de…

Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$ has curvature $K>-1$, and each such metric on $\dr M$ is obtained for a unique ch…

Geometric data uniquely determines convex subsets in hyperbolic manifolds.

The paper proves positivity of third Chern form for certain vector bundles.

The curvature of Gauss maps for flat submanifolds is studied in space forms.

We consider ruled and quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are of coordinate finite type with respect to the third fundamental form $III$, i.e., their position vector $\boldsymbol{x}$ satisfies the relation $Δ^{III}\boldsymbol{x}=\varLambda \boldsymbol{x}$ where $\varLambda$ is a square matrix o…

We prove that given two metrics $g_{+}$ and $g_{-}$ with curvature $κ<-1$ on a closed, oriented surface $S$ of genus $τ\geq 2$, there exists an $AdS$ manifold $N$ with smooth, space-like, strictly convex boundary such that the induced metrics on the two connected components of $\partial N$ are equal to $g_{+}$ and $g_{…

The class of differential equations describing pseudospherical surfaces enjoys important integrability properties which manifest themselves by the existence of infinite hierarchies of conservation laws (both local and non-local) and the presence associated linear problems. It thus contains many important known examples…

A fundamental theorem of Wolfe isometrically identifies the space of flat differential forms of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the space of flat $m$-cochains, that is, the dual space of flat chains of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The main purpose of the present paper is to generalize Wolfe's theorem to the se…

Let $M$ be a complex $n$-dimensional projective manifold in $\mathbb{P}^{n+r}$ endowed with the Fubini-Study metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature $1$, $σ$ its second fundamental form, and $\underline{|σ|}^2$ the mean value of the squared length of $σ$ on $M$. We derive a formula for $\underline{|σ|}^2$ an…

Principal Component Analysis can be performed over small domains of an embedded Riemannian manifold in order to relate the covariance analysis of the underlying point set with the local extrinsic and intrinsic curvature. We show that the volume of domains on a submanifold of general codimension, determined by the inter…

Study computes Cheeger constants for specific submanifolds in asymptotically hyperbolic spaces.

It is studied a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a tensor structure of type (1,1), whose third power is the identity. This structure has a circulant matrix with respect to some basis, i.e. the structure is circulant. On such a manifold a fundamental tensor by the metric and by the covariant derivative of…

We introduce a class of surfaces in euclidean space motivated by a problem posed by Élie Cartan. This class furnishes what seems to be the first examples of pairs of non-congruent surfaces in euclidean space such that, under a diffeomorphism $Φ$, lines of curvatures are preserved and principal curvatures are switched. …

Final part of a series on nonlinear observers on Riemannian metrics, establishing conditions for convergence.

The linearization problem by use of the Cartan equivalence method for scalar third-order ODEs via point transformations was solved partially in [1,2]. In order to solve this problem completely, the Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the linearizable third-order ordinary dif…

Geometric approach to quantum thermodynamics models state spaces and processes.

The third del Pezzo surface admits a unique Kaehler-Einstein metric, which is not known in closed form. The manifold's toric structure reduces the Einstein equation to a single Monge-Ampere equation in two real dimensions. We numerically solve this nonlinear PDE using three different algorithms, and describe the result…

The Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the third-order ordinary differential equation $u'''=f(x,u,u',u'')$ which admits a five-dimensional point symmetry Lie algebra. The invariant characterization is given in terms of the function $f$ in a compact form. A simple procedure …

Minimal surfaces in third-order ODEs identified for linear second-order ODEs.

I prove three classification results about harmonic morphisms whose fibers have dimension one. All are valid when the domain is at least of dimension 4. (The character of this overdetermined problem is very different when the dimension of the domain is 3 or less.) The first result is a local classification for such har…

Based on the theory of Poisson vertex algebras we calculate skew-symmetry conditions and Jacobi identities for a class of third-order nonlocal operators of differential-geometric type. Hamiltonian operators within this class are defined by a Monge metric and a skew-symmetric two-form satisfying a number of differential…

New findings show fundamental group is not audible in spherical space forms.

In this paper we study absence of embedded eigenvalues for Schrödinger operators on non-compact connected Riemannian manifolds. A principal example is given by a manifold with an end (possibly more than one) in which geodesic coordinates are naturally defined. In this case one of our geometric conditions is a positive …

The study shows that the second fundamental form is intrinsic under certain conditions in space forms.

Third-order PDEs describe spherical and pseudospherical surfaces.

Simple matrix formulas for Grassmannian curvatures.

We prove that the conformal group of a closed, simply connected, real analytic Lorentzian manifold is compact. D'Ambra proved in 1988 that the isometry group of such a manifold is compact. Our result implies the Lorentzian Lichnerowicz Conjecture for real analytic Lorentzian manifolds with finite fundamental group. Thi…

The fundamental n-quandles of links are residually finite for n ≥ 2.

On a 6-dimensional real vector space $V$ there are three types of multisymplectic 3-forms. We present in this paper a unified treatment of these three types. Forms of each type represent a subset of $Λ^3 V^*$. In two cases they are open subsets, in the third one it is a submanifold of codimension 1. We study the geomet…

Study on isometric submanifolds with preserved Gauss map metrics.

In a previous work, the third named author found a combinatorics of line arrangements whose realizations live in the cyclotomic group of the fifth roots of unity and such that their non-complex-conjugate embedding are not topologically equivalent in the sense that they are not embedded in the same way in the complex pr…

The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the principal curvatures of such a hypersurface $f \colon N^n \to M^{n+1}$ $( n\ge 2 )…
