Asymptotic net is an important concept in discrete differential geometry. In this paper, we show that we can associate affine discrete geometric concepts to an arbitrary non-degenerate asymptotic net. These concepts include discrete affine…

A smooth affine minimal surface with indefinite metric can be obtained from a pair of smooth non-intersecting spatial curves by Lelieuvre's formulas. These surfaces may present singularities, which are generically cuspidal edges and…
We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter…
In this paper we build the structure equations and the integrable systems for a discrete centroaffine indefinite surface in $\R^3$. At the same time, some centroaffine invariants are obtained according to the structure equations. Using…
Affine rotation surfaces are a generalization of the well-known surfaces of revolution. Affine rotation surfaces arise naturally within the framework of affine differential geometry, a field started by Blaschke in the first decades of the…
In this paper we study the general affine differential geometry of surfaces in affine space $A^3$. For a regular elliptical surface we define a moving frame of minimal order and get the complete system of differential invariants. As an…
We consider in this paper discrete improper affine spheres based on asymptotic nets. In this context, we distinguish the discrete edges and vertices that must be considered singular. The singular edges can be considered as discrete cuspidal…
We present a discrete theory for modeling developable surfaces as quadrilateral meshes satisfying simple angle constraints. The basis of our model is a lesser known characterization of developable surfaces as manifolds that can be…

We introduce a class of objects which we call 'affine surfaces'. These provide families of foliations on surfaces whose dynamics we are interested in. We present and analyze a couple of examples, and we define concepts related to these in…
We construct families of smooth affine surfaces with pairwise non isomorphic A 1-cylinders but whose A 2-cylinders are all isomorphic. These arise as complements of cuspidal hyperplane sections of smooth projective cubic surfaces.
Two-dimensional affine A-nets in 3-space are quadrilateral meshes that discretize surfaces parametrized along asymptotic lines. The characterizing property of A-nets is planarity of vertex stars, so for generic A-nets the elementary…

We discuss the local differential geometry of convex affine spheres in $\re^3$ and of minimal Lagrangian surfaces in Hermitian symmetric spaces. In each case, there is a natural metric and cubic differential holomorphic with respect to the…
