The aim of this work is to study global $3$-webs with vanishing curvature. We wish to investigate degree $3$ foliations for which their dual web is flat. The main ingredient is the Legendre transform, which is an avatar of classical…
The aim of this work is to study the foliations on the complex projective plane with flat \textsc{Legendre} transform (dual web). We establish some effective criteria for the flatness of the dual $d$-web of a homogeneous foliation of degree…
In this paper, we study homogeneous convex foliations on the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. A foliation is called convex if all of its leaves, except straight lines, have no inflection points, and such foliations form a Zariski…
This paper investigates flat webs on the projective plane. We present two methods for constructing such webs: the first involves taking the product of finitely many convex reduced foliations and invariant lines, while the second consists of…
Let $d\geq3$ be an integer. For a holomorphic $d$-web $\mathcal{W}$ on a complex surface $M$, smooth along an irreducible component $D$ of its discriminant $\Delta(\mathcal{W}),$ we establish an effective criterion for the holomorphy of the…
The main purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that condition of invariance with respect to the Legendre transformations allows effectively isolate the class of integrable difference equations on the triangular lattice, which can be…
We present a projectively invariant description of planar linear 3-webs. For a non-hexagonal 3-web, we introduce family of projective torsion-free Cartan connections, the web leaves being geodesics for each member of the family, and give a…
The Legendre transform (LET) is a product of a general duality principle: any smooth curve is, on the one hand, a locus of pairs, which satisfy the given equation and, on the other hand, an envelope of a family of its tangent lines. An…
Solutions of an implicit ODE form a web. Already for cubic ODEs the 3-web of solutions has a nontrivial local invariant, namely the curvature form. Thus any local classification of implicit ODEs necessarily has functional moduli if no…
Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity. However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional…
The aim of this paper is mainly, after some theoretical explanations, to provide a program on Maple for computing, whatever be d, the curvature of the planar d-web implicitely defined by a differential equation F(x,y,y')=0, F being…
We prove that holomorphic normal projective connections on compact complex surfaces are flat. We show that a holomorphic torsion-free affine connection $\nabla$ on a compact complex surface is locally modelled on a translations-invariant…
In this paper, by using monotonicity formulas for vector bundle-valued $p$-forms satisfying the conservation law, we first obtain general $L^2$ global rigidity theorems for locally conformally flat (LCF) manifolds with constant scalar…
The objects of our study are webs in the geometry of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. We introduce two local invariants of divergence-free webs: a differential one, directly related to the curvature of the natural connection of a…
The set $\mathbf{F}(d)$ of foliations of degree $d$ on the complex projective plane can be identified with a Zariski's open set of a projective space of dimension $(d+2)^2-2$ on which acts $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{P}^{2}_{\mathbb{C}})$. The…
We discuss the rigidity (or lack thereof) imposed by different notions of having an abundance of zero curvature planes on a complete Riemannian 3-manifold. We prove a rank rigidity theorem for complete 3-manifolds, showing that having…
This article is concerned with the convexity properties of universal covers of projective varieties. We study the relation between the convexity properties of the universal cover of X and the properties of the pullback map sending vector…
We classify, up to projective automorphism, all homogeneous pre-foliations of co-degree one and degree four on the complex projective plane $\Ptwo$ whose Legendre transform defines a flat $4$-web. The classification is organized according…
We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…
The paper contains a general construction which produces new examples of non simply-connected smooth projective surfaces. We analyze the resulting surfaces and their fundamental groups. Many of these fundamental groups are expected to be…
