These notes are designed for those who either plan to work in differential geometry, or at least want to have a good reason not to do it. We discuss smooth curves and surfaces -- the main gate to differential geometry. We focus on the…

Unsigned Distance Functions (UDFs) can be used to represent non-watertight surfaces in a deep learning framework. However, UDFs tend to be brittle and difficult to learn, in part because the surface is located exactly where the UDF is…

Meridian surfaces in the Euclidean 4-space are two-dimensional surfaces which are one-parameter systems of meridians of a standard rotational hypersurface. On the base of our invariant theory of surfaces we study meridian surfaces with…

We assign some kind of invariant manifolds to a given integrable PDE (its discrete or semi-discrete variant). First, we linearize the equation around its arbitrary solution $u$. Then we construct a differential (respectively, difference)…

The problem of immersing a simply connected surface with a prescribed shape operator is discussed. From classical and more recent work, it is known that, aside from some special degenerate cases, such as when the shape operator can be…

A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a…
