These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It has more problems and omits the background material. It starts with the definition of Riemannian…
The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…
We argue for more widespread use of manifold-like polyfolds (M-polyfolds) as differential geometric objects. M-polyfolds possess a distinct advantage over differentiable manifolds, enabling a smooth and local change of dimension. To…
This is a survey of the author's book "D-manifolds and d-orbifolds: a theory of derived differential geometry", available at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/dmanifolds.html We introduce a 2-category dMan of "d-manifolds", new geometric…
This article provides a brief discussion of the functional of super Riemann surfaces from the point of view of classical (i.e. not "super-) differential geometry. The discussion is based on symmetry considerations and aims to clarify the…
In the present paper we give a historical account -ranging from classical to modern results- of the problem of rolling two Riemannian manifolds one on the other, with the restrictions that they cannot instantaneously slip or spin one with…
Manifold learning is a popular and quickly-growing subfield of machine learning based on the assumption that one's observed data lie on a low-dimensional manifold embedded in a higher-dimensional space. This thesis presents a mathematical…
The study of biharmonic submanifolds, initiated by B. Y. Chen and G. Y. Jiang independently, has received a great attention in the past 30 years with many important progress. This note attempts to give a short survey on the study of…
A new field of discrete differential geometry is presently emerging on the border between differential and discrete geometry. Whereas classical differential geometry investigates smooth geometric shapes (such as surfaces), and discrete…
Minimal submanifolds constitute a central area within the realm of differential geometry, due to their many applications in various branches of physics. In this thesis we will employ a recent result of S. Gudmundsson and T.J. Munn to…
The present document is the draft of a book which presents an introduction to infinite-dimensional differential geometry beyond Banach manifolds. As is well known the usual calculus breaks down in this setting. Hence, we replace it by the…
In this paper we explore the geometric structures associated with curvature radii of curves with values on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$. We show the existence of sub-Riemannian manifolds naturally associated with the curvature radii and…
The aim of the present paper is to study the properties of Riemannian manifolds equipped with a projective semi-symmetric connection.
Concepts and techniques from the theory of G-structures of higher order are applied to the study of certain structures (volume forms, conformal structures, linear connections and projective structures) defined on a pseudo-Riemanniann…
In this survey, we give an introduction to nearly K\"ahler geometry, and list some results on submanifolds of these spaces. This survey tries by no means to be complete.
In its most general form, the recognition problem in Riemannian geometry asks for the identification of an unknown Riemannian manifold via measurements of metric invariants on the manifold. We introduce a new infinite sequence of…
A submanifold of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is said to have parallel mean curvature vector if the mean curvature vector field H is parallel as a section of the normal bundle. Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector are important…
As a generalization of slant submersions (Sahin, 2011), semi-slant submersions (Park and Prasad), and slant Riemannian maps (Sahin), we define the notion of semi-slant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds.…
This entry contains the core material of my habilitation thesis, soon to be officially submitted. It provides a self-contained presentation of the original results in this thesis, in addition to their detailed proofs. The motivation of…
In this paper we define a new category of almost complex riemannian 4- manifolds and discuss some basic properties of such pseudo symplectic manifolds. Some motivation based on the Seiberg - Witten theory is imposed.
