In this paper we consider the idea of Bertrand curves for curves lying on surfaces and by considering the Darboux frames of them we define these curves as Bertrand D-curves and give the characterizations for these curves. We also find the…

We generalize the concept of sub-Riemannian geometry to infinite-dimensional manifolds modeled on convenient vector spaces. On a sub-Riemannian manifold $M$, the metric is defined only on a sub-bundle $\calH$ of the tangent bundle $TM$,…

The Hodge star mean curvature flow on a 3-dimensional Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a natural nonlinear dispersive curve flow in geometric analysis. A curve flow is integrable if the local differential invariants of a solution…

By a real alphabeta-geometry we mean a four-dimensional manifold M equipped with a neutral metric h such that (M,h) admits both an integrable distribution of alpha-planes and an integrable distribution of beta-planes. We obtain a local…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric is defined by a Riemannian metric and $1$-form. In this paper, we investigate the known characterization for $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics of isotropic S-curvature. We show that such a characterization should hold in…

We present a new strategy for proving the Ambrose conjecture, a global version of the Cartan local lemma. A linking curve is defined as a curve in the tangent space whose composition with the exponential map is tree formed. This key idea is…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arrangement of Jordan curves in the plane, i.e., simple closed curves in the plane. For any curve $\gamma \in \Gamma$, we denote the bounded region enclosed by $\gamma$ as $\tilde{\gamma}$. We say that $\Gamma$ is…

A parametric curve $\gamma$ of class $C^n$ on the $n$-sphere is said to be nondegenerate (or locally convex) when $\det\left(\gamma(t),\gamma'(t),\cdots,\gamma^{(n)}(t)\right)>0$ for all values of the parameter $t$. We orthogonalize this…

In this note, we consider M-curves of odd degree with real scheme of the form $< \mathcal{J} \amalg \alpha \amalg 1 < \beta > >$. With help of complex orientations, we prove that for $m = 9$, $\alpha \geq 2$, and for $m = 11$, $\alpha \geq…
