We consider differential operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $\Sigma$, of the form $$L = \Delta + V -a K ,$$where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian of $\Sigma$, $K$ is the Gaussian curvature, $a$ is a positive constant and $V…
A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…
The space of linear differential operators on a smooth manifold $M$ has a natural one-parameter family of $Diff(M)$ (and $Vect(M)$)-module structures, defined by their action on the space of tensor-densities. It is shown that, in the case…
We investigate spectral functionals associated with Dirac and Laplace-type differential operators on manifolds, defined via the Wodzicki residue, extending classical results for Dirac operators derived from the Levi-Civita connection to…
The paper introduces a new differential-geometric system which originates from the theory of $m$-Hessian operators. The core of this system is a new notion of invariant differentiation on multidimensional surfaces. This novelty gives rise…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
We study the dynamics of the vector field on an open surface given by the gradient of a Green's function. This dynamical approach enables us to show that this field induces an invariant decomposition of the surface as the union of a disk…
We prove sharp bounds on the discriminants of stable rank two sheaves on surfaces in three-dimensional projective space. The key technical ingredient is to study them as torsion sheaves in projective space via tilt stability in the derived…
We study surface and line operators in the GL-twisted N=4 gauge theory in four dimensions. Their properties depend on the parameter t which determines the BRST operator of theory. For t=i we propose a complete description of the 2-category…
We derive the vorticity equation for an incompressible fluid on a 2-dimensional surface with arbitrary topology embedded in 3-dimensional Euclidean space by using a tailored Clebsch parametrization of the flow. In the inviscid limit, we…
In this article we consider 2-dimensional surfaces. We define some new operators which enable us to evaluate quantities of the surface, such invariants, in a more systematic way.
Recent advances in cell biology and experimental techniques using reconstituted cell extracts have generated significant interest in understanding how geometry and topology influence active fluid dynamics. In this work, we present a…
We investigate into the regularity of $\mathrm{BV}^{\mathbb{A}}$-minimisers for $\mathbb{C}$-elliptic differential operators $\mathbb{A}$ in $2$ dimensions. Our studies strongly rely on the special structure of such differential operators.…
Symmetry is present in many tasks in computer vision, where the same class of objects can appear transformed, e.g. rotated due to different camera orientations, or scaled due to perspective. The knowledge of such symmetries in data coupled…
We define the concept of higher order differential operators on a general noncommutative, nonassociative superalgebra A, and show that a vertex operator superalgebra has plenty of them, namely modes of vertex operators. A linear operator…
Given a trivalent graph in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space, we call it a discrete surface because it has a tangent space at each vertex determined by its neighbor vertices. To abstract a continuum object hidden in the discrete surface, we…
We introduce real vector spaces composed of set-valued maps on an open set. They are also complete metric spaces, lattices, commutative rings. The set of differentiable functions is a dense subset of these spaces and the classical gradient…
Spectral (Bloch) varieties of multidimensional differential operators on non-simply connected manifolds are defined. In their terms it is given a description of the analytical dependence of the spectra of magnetic Laplacians on non-simply…
Line fields on surfaces are a means to describe the nematic order that may pattern them. The least distorted nematic fields are called uniform, but they can only exist on surfaces with negative constant Gaussian curvature. To identify the…
We introduce the notion of a differential operator on C*-algebras. This is a noncommutative analogue of a differential operator on a smooth manifold. We show that the common closed domain of all differential operators is closed under smooth…
