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 discuss some specializations of the frames of flat orthonormal frame bundles over geometries of indefinite signature, and the resulting symmetries of families of embedded Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian geometries. The specializations…

In this work, we study spacelike surfaces in Minkowski space $E_1^3$ foliated by pieces of circles and that satisfy a linear Weingarten condition of type $a H+b K=c$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are constant and $H$ and $K$ denote the mean…

We study real Lagrangian analytic surfaces in C^2 with a non-degenerate complex tangent. Webster proved that all such surfaces can be transformed into a quadratic surface by formal symplectic transformations of C^2. We show that there is a…
We prove that the spaces of smooth and ultradifferentiable vectors associated with a representation of a real Lie group on a Fr\'{e}chet space $E$ are quasinormable if $E$ is so. A similar result is shown to hold for the linear topological…
We study orientational order, subject to thermal fluctuations, on a fixed curved surface. We derive, in particular, the average density of zeros of Gaussian distributed vector fields on a closed Riemannian manifold. Results are compared…
A Lie hypersurface in the complex hyperbolic space is a homogeneous real hypersurface without focal submanifolds. The set of all Lie hypersurfaces in the complex hyperbolic space is bijective to a closed interval, which gives a deformation…
The geometry of two-dimensional crystalline membranes dictates their mechanical, electronic and chemical properties. The local geometry of a surface is determined from the two invariants of the metric and the curvature tensors. Here we…
We identify the 2-groupoid of deformations of a gerbe on a smooth manifold with the Deligne 2-groupoid of a corresponding twist of the DGLA of local Hochschild cochains on infinite jets of smooth functions.
The existence of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed curvature in semi-riemannian manifolds is proved provided there are barriers.
Equilibrium crystal surfaces, constrained to equilibrate by means of dissociative dimer deposition and evaporation, have anomalous global surface roughness. We generalize earlier results for one dimensional interfaces to two dimensions. The…
We investigate the geometric characteristics of constant gaussian curvature surfaces obtained from solutions of the $G(m,n)$ sigma model. Most of these solutions are related to the Veronese sequence. We show that we can distinguish surfaces…
