In this paper we introduce the notion of contact angle. We deduce formulas for Laplacian and Gaussian curvature of a minimal surface in $S^{2n+1}$ and give a characterization of the generalized Clifford Torus as the only non-legendrian…

We present a theory of entanglement transformations of Gaussian pure states with local Gaussian operations and classical communication. This is the experimentally accessible set of operations that can be realized with optical elements such…

Pandres has shown that an enlargement of the covariance group to the group of conservative transformations leads to a richer geometry than that of general relativity. Using orthonormal tetrads as field variables, the fundamental geometric…

Novel classical wave phenomenon analogs of the quantum spin Hall effect are mostly based on the construction of pseudo-spins. Here we show that the non-trivial topology of a system can also be realized using orbital angular momentum through…

In the context of the cohomological deformation theory, infinitesimal description of one-parametric families of Backlund transformations of special type including classical examples is given. It is shown that any family of such a kind…

While standard minimal coupling works well for Dirac fermions, its application to scalar fields features a known ``peculiarity'': the term linear in $A_\mu$ does not coincide with the conserved Noether current of the interacting theory. We…

We give a parametrization of the simple Bernstein components of inner forms of a general linear group over a local field by invariants constructed from type theory, and explicitly describe its behaviour under the Jacquet-Langlands…

This paper constructs a family of coordinate systems about a point on a quaternionic contact manifold, called quaternionic contact pseudohermitian normal coordinates. Once defined, conformal variations of the quaternionic contact structure…

We give criteria for which a principal curvature becomes a bounded $C^\infty$-function at non-degenerate singular points of wave fronts by using geometric invariants. As applications, we study singularities of parallel surfaces and extended…

In present work it is suggested the concept of continual multi-electrode system being realized on the elongated electrically conducting element immersed into electrolyte. Conjugation of such kind of system with the point-contact structure…

Given a closed contact 3-manifold with a compatible Riemannian metric, we show that if the sectional curvature is 1/4-pinched, then the contact structure is universally tight. This result improves the Contact Sphere Theorem in [EKM12],…

We define two transforms between minimal surfaces with non-circular ellipse of curvature in the 5-sphere, and show how this enables us to construct, from one such surface, a sequence of such surfaces. We also use the transforms to show how…

It is proposed that a non-Abelian adjoint two-form in BF type theories transform inhomogeneously under the gauge group. The resulting restrictions on invariant actions are discussed. The auxiliary one-form which is required for maintaining…

We construct a contactomorphism of the standard sphere which does not have any translated points, providing a negative answer to a conjecture posed by Sandon.

Let M be a closed minimal hypersurface in 5-dimensional Euclidean sphere with constant nonnegative scalar curvature. We prove that, if the sum of the cubes of all principal curvatures and the number of distinct principal curvatures are…

We study the sectional curvature of plane distributions on 3-manifolds. We show that if the distribution is a contact structure it is easy to manipulate this curvature. As a corollary we obtain that for every transversally oriented contact…

In this paper, the singular-value decomposition theory of complex matrices is explored to study constantly curved 2-spheres minimal in both $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and the hyperquadric of $\mathbb{C}P^n$. The moduli space of all those noncongruent…

We define in a global manner the notion of a connective structure for a gerbe on a space X. When the gerbe is endowed with trivializing data with respect to an open cover of X, we describe this connective structure in two separate ways,…

In this article, I prove the following statement: Every compact complex surface with even first Betti number is deformation equivalent to one which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric. In fact, this extremal K\"ahler metric can even be taken…

We introduce a nonlocal transformation to generate exact solutions of the constant astigmatism equation $z_{yy} + (1/z)_{xx} + 2 = 0$. The transformation is related to the special case of the famous B\"acklund transformation of the…
