All rational parametric curves with prescribed polynomial tangent direction form a vector space. Via tangent directions with rational norm, this includes the important case of rational Pythagorean hodograph curves. We study vector subspaces…
A meromorphic quadratic differential on a compact Riemann surface defines a complex projective structure away from the poles via the Schwarzian equation. In this article we first prove the analogue of Thurston's Grafting Theorem for the…
We use discrete holomorphic polynomials to prove that, given a refining sequence of critical maps of a Riemann surface, any holomorphic function can be approximated by a converging sequence of discrete holomorphic functions.
We classify the holomorphic parabolic geometries on compact complex manifolds of general type. We accomplish this by bounding the numerical dimension of any smooth projective variety in terms of geometric invariants of the flag variety…
We present a method to construct matrix models on arbitrary simply connected oriented real two dimensional Riemannian manifolds. The actions and the path integral measure are invariant under holomorphic transformations of matrix…
In the spirit of the geometric approach to two-dimensional conformal field theory, we explicitly associate to every holomorphic vertex operator algebra a section of a power of Hodge line bundle on the moduli space of curves of arbitrary…
For a hypersurface V of a conformal space, we introduce a conformal differential invariant I = h^2/g, where g and h are the first and the second fundamental forms of V connected by the apolarity condition. This invariant is called the…
Generically, the set of points along which two non-singular vector fields on the three-sphere are positively (resp. negatively) collinear form a link. We prove that the two vector fields are homotopic if and only if the linking number of…
The diagonalization of the metrical Hamiltonian of a scalar field with an arbitrary coupling with a curvature in N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space is performed. The energy spectrum of the corresponding quasiparticles is obtained.…
In our previous paper entitled "Axiomatic differential geometry -towards model categories of differential geometry-, we have given a category-theoretic framework of differential geometry. As the first part of our series of papers concerned…
In this paper we consider the complex vector spaces of holomorphic cross-sections of homogeneous holomorphic vector bundles over elliptic adjoint orbits, and provide a sufficient condition for the vector spaces to be finite dimensional in…
We prove that if two conformal embeddings between Riemann surfaces with finite topology are homotopic, then they are isotopic through conformal embeddings. Furthermore, we show that the space of all conformal embeddings in a given homotopy…
In this paper we show that a (non necessarily integrable) holomorphic plane field on a compact complex manfold $M$ having an infinite number of invariant hypersurfaces must admit a meromorphic first integral $F:M\longrightarrow…
In many relevant cases -- e.g., in hamiltonian dynamics -- a given vector field can be characterized by means of a variational principle based on a one-form. We discuss how a vector field on a manifold can also be characterized in a similar…
A differential form defined on a Riemannian manifold is said to harmonic if it is closed and co-closed. Harmonic differential forms are a natural multi-dimensional extension of the concept of analytic function of complex variable. In this…
In this work we revisit the "holomorphic modular bootstrap", i.e. the classification of rational conformal field theories via an analysis of the modular differential equations satisfied by their characters. By making use of the…
A super-conformal map and a minimal surface are factored into a product of two maps by modeling the Euclidean four-space and the complex Euclidean plane on the set of all quaternions. One of these two maps is a holomorphic map or a…
We develop a combinatorial theory of vector bundles with connection on locally ordered simplicial complexes. This is a first step towards a discrete exterior calculus for bundle-valued forms. The basic building block is the discrete…
We show that the image of repeated differentiation on weak cusp forms is precisely the subspace which is orthogonal to the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms. This gives a new interpretation of the weakly holomorphic Hecke…
New examples of harmonic unit vector fields on hyperbolic 3-space are constructed by exploiting the reduction of symmetry arising from the foliation by horospheres. This is compared and contrasted with the analogous construction in…
