For $p\in\mathbb{R}$, we show that non-circular closed $p$-elastic curves in $\mathbb{S}^2$ exist only when $p=2$, in which case they are classical elastic curves, or when $p\in(0,1)$. In the latter case, we prove that for every pair of…
N=1 curve is defined for four dimensional class S theory using Cayley-Hamilton theorem for two commuting matrices. The curve consists of three ingredients: 1: A set of N+1 degree N equations defining a curve; 2: a set of constraints…
Of the Thurston geometries, those with constant curvature geometries (Euclidean $\EUC$, hyperbolic $\HYP$, spherical $\SPH$) have been extensively studied, but the other five geometries, $\HXR$, $\SXR$, $\NIL$, $\SLR$, $\SOL$ have been…
In this paper, the general formulation for inextensible flows of curves on oriented surface in $\mathbb{R}^3 $ is investigated. The necessary and sufficient conditions for inextensible curve flow lying an oriented surface are expressed as a…
We show how in many cases the algebraic number of immersed hyperspheres of constant (and prescribed) curvature may be related to the Euler Characteristic of the ambient space.
We consider the Fourier restriction operators associated to certain degenerate curves in R^d for which the highest torsion vanishes. We prove estimates with respect to affine arclength and with respect to the Euclidean arclength measure on…
Continuum equations are ubiquitous in physical modelling of elastic, viscous, and viscoelastic systems. The equations of continuum mechanics take nontrivial forms on curved surfaces. Although the curved surface formulation of the continuum…
{\bf Abstract.} Let $D$ be a convex body of diameter $\delta$, where $0 < \delta < \frac{\pi}{2}$, on the $d$-dimensional sphere. We prove that $D$ is of constant diameter $\delta$ if and only if it is of constant width $\delta$ in the…

A set of equations is developed to describe a curve in space given the curvature $\kappa$ and the angle of rotation $\theta$ of the osculating plane. The set of equations has a solution (in terms of $\kappa$ and $\theta$) that indirectly…
A numerical scheme for computing arc-length parametrized curves of low bending energy that are confined to convex domains is devised. The convergence of the discrete formulations to a continuous model and the unconditional stability of an…
The aim of this paper is to present some properties of reduced spherical convex bodies on the two-dimensional sphere $S^2$. The intersection of two different non-opposite hemispheres is called a lune. By its thickness we mean the distance…
Two-point functions of the scalar curvature for metric fluctuations on the four-sphere are analysed. The two-point function for points separated by a fixed distance and for metrics of fixed volume is calculated using spacetime foam methods.…
We calculate the Gaussian curvature of a curved, twisted crease in terms of the rate of change of solid angle along its length; we find that this depends on the fold angle across the crease and on the curvature along it but is independent…
In this paper we introduce the Constant Width Measure Set, which measures the constant width property of an oval, i.e. the planar simple closed strictly convex curve. We study its geometrical properties. We find the exact relation between…
We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…
We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…
