We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…
We study totally geodesic planes in hyperbolic 3-manifolds $M$ having incompressible core and degenerate ends. We prove a Ratner-type phenomenon: a closed minimal $PSL(2,R)-$invariant subset of $M$ is either an immersed totally geodesic…
We develop a holonomy reduction procedure for general Cartan geometries. We show that, given a reduction of holonomy, the underlying manifold naturally decomposes into a disjoint union of initial submanifolds. Each such submanifold…
In this paper, the first large-scale application of multiscale-spectral generalized finite element methods (MS-GFEM) to composite aero-structures is presented. The crucial novelty lies in the introduction of A-harmonicity in the local…
We develop a Helmholtz-like theorem for differential forms in Euclidean space $E_{n}$ using a uniqueness theorem similar to the one for vector fields. We then apply it to Riemannian manifolds, $R_{n}$, which, by virtue of the…
We consider curves $\gamma : [0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}^3$ endowed with an adapted orthonormal frame $r : [0, 1]\to SO(3)$. We are interested in the cases where the frame is constrained, in the sense that one of its `curvatures' (i.e.,…
Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) provide compact models of geometry, but it is unclear when their learned shapes can be edited without retraining. We show that the Gram operator induced by the INR's penultimate features admits…
We study infinitesimal conformal deformations of a triangulated surface in Euclidean space and investigate the change in its extrinsic geometry. A deformation of vertices is conformal if it preserves length cross-ratios. On one hand,…
We reduce the embedding problem for hypo SU(2) and SU(3)-structures to the embedding problem for hypo G2-structures into parallel Spin(7)-manifolds. The latter will be described in terms of gauge deformations. This description involves the…
Motivated by a vulcanological problem, we establish a sound mathematical approach for surface deformation effects generated by a magma chamber embedded into Earth's interior and exerting on it a uniform hydrostatic pressure. Modeling…
We consider, under suitable assumptions, the following situation: $\mathcal B$ is a component of the moduli space of polarized surfaces and $\mathcal V_{m,\delta}$ is the universal Severi variety over $\mathcal B$ parametrizing pairs…
Unfolding singular points in linear differential equations is a classical technique for studying the properties of irregular singularities by relating them to regular singularities. In this paper, we propose a general framework for…
Given a degenerate $(n+1)$-simplex in a $d$-dimensional space $M^d$ (Euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic space, and $d\geq n$), for each $k$, $1\leq k\leq n$, Radon's theorem induces a partition of the set of $k$-faces into two subsets. We…
In this paper, we consider the discrete deformation of the discrete space curves with constant torsion described by the discrete mKdV or the discrete sine-Gordon equations, and show that it is formulated as the torsion-preserving…
We show that generalised geometry gives a unified description of maximally supersymmetric consistent truncations of ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity. In all cases the reduction manifold admits a "generalised parallelisation" with a…
Let $X$ be a negatively curved symmetric space and $\Gamma$ a non-cocompact lattice in $\rm{Isom}(X)$. We show that small, parabolic-preserving deformations of $\Gamma$ into the isometry group of any negatively curved symmetric space…
A simple example of an $n$-dimensional admissible complex of planes is given for the overdetermined $k$-plane transform in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For the corresponding restricted $k$-plane transform sharp existence conditions are obtained and…
For a variety of diffeomorphism-invariant field theories describing hypersurface motions (such as relativistic M-branes in space-time dimension M+2) we perform a Hamiltonian reduction ``at level 0'', showing that a simple algebraic function…
Affine deformations serve as basic examples in the continuum mechanics of deformable 3-dimensional bodies (referred as homogeneous deformations). They preserve parallelism and are often used as an approximation to general deformations.…
We study a class of degenerate hyperbolic equations in a bounded domain whose degeneracy occurs at a boundary point. We first develop the weighted functional framework, prove well-posedness of the degenerate problem, and establish…
