We introduce a new notion of a curvature of a superconnection, different from the one obtained by a purely algebraic analogy with the curvature of a linear connection. The naturalness of this new notion of a curvature of a superconnection…
We give an explicit construction of a closed curve with constant torsion and everywhere positive curvature. We also discuss the restrictions on closed curves of constant torsion when they are constrained to lie on convex surfaces.
We prove that an arbitrary convex body $C \subseteq \mathbf{R}^{n+1} $, whose $ k $-th anisotropic curvature measure (for $ k =0, \ldots , n-1 $) is a multiple constant of the anisotropic perimeter of C, must be a rescaled and translated…
We investigate geodesics in specific Kundt type N (or conformally flat) solutions to Einstein's equations. Components of the curvature tensor in parallelly transported tetrads are then explicitly evaluated and analyzed. This elucidates some…
We consider the Suslov problem of nonholonomic rigid body motion with inhomogeneous constraints. We show that if the direction along which the Suslov constraint is enforced is perpendicular to a principal axis of inertia of the body, then…
A unified approach, for solving a wide class of single and many-body quantum problems, commonly encountered in literature is developed based on a recently proposed method for finding solutions of linear differential equations. Apart from…
A general geometrical scheme is presented for the construction of novel classical gravity theories whose solutions obey two-sided bounds on the sectional curvatures along certain subvarieties of the Grassmannian of two-planes. The…
We first provide a classification of the pure rotational motion of 2 particles on a sphere interacting via a repelling potential. This is achieved by providing a simple geometric equivalence between repelling particles and attracting…
The simplest non-collision solutions of the N-body problem are the "relative equilibria", in which each body follows a circular orbit around the centre of mass and the shape formed by the N bodies is constant. It is easy to see that the…
We use Weierstrass Point Theory and Frobenius orders to prove the uniqueness (up to isomorphism) of some optimal curves.
In the $n$-body problem, when a~cluster of bodies tends to a collision, then its normalized shape curve converges to the set of normalized central configurations, which has $SO(2)$ symmetry in the planar case. This leaves a possibility that…
Some examples of three-dimensional metrics of constant curvature defined by solutions of nonlinear integrable differential equations and their generalizations are constructed. The properties of Riemann extensions of the metrics of constant…
We study singularities of surfaces which are given by Kenmotsu-type formula with prescribed unbounded mean curvature.
We study spacetime singularities in a general five-dimensional braneworld with curved branes satisfying four-dimensional maximal symmetry. The bulk is supported by an analog of perfect fluid with the time replaced by the extra coordinate.…
We give a solution of Plateau's problem for singular curves possibly having self-intersections. The proof is based on the solution of Plateau's problem for Jordan curves in very general metric spaces by Alexander Lytchak and Stefan Wenger…
In this paper we construct the action describing dynamics of the particle moving in curved spacetime, with a non-trivial momentum space geometry. Curved momentum space is the core feature of theories where relative locality effects are…
We classify stably simple reducible curve singularities in complex spaces of any dimension. This extends the same classification of of irreducible curve singularities obtained by V.I.Arnold. The proof is essentially based on the method of…
We investigate the Hilbert scheme of points on curves with n-fold singularities, that is curves that look locally around their singular points as the axis in an affine space. We describe the structure and number of its irreducible…
We study the isoperimetric, functional and concentration properties of $n$-dimensional weighted Riemannian manifolds satisfying the Curvature-Dimension condition, when the generalized dimension $N$ is negative, and more generally, is in the…
We study the prescribed scalar curvature problem in a conformal class on orbifolds with isolated singularities. We prove a compactness theorem in dimension $4$, and an existence theorem which holds in dimensions $n \geq 4$. This problem is…
