The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…

This paper is about conic intrinsic volumes and their associated integral geometry. We pay special attention to the biconic localizations of the conic intrinsic volumes, the so-called support measures. An analysis of these quantities has so…

The notions of (metric) hypersurface data were introduced in [Mars,2013] as a tool to analyze, from an abstract viewpoint, hypersurfaces of arbitrary signature in pseudo-riemannian manifolds. In this paper, general geometric properties of…

We investigate the Fefferman spaces of conformal type which are induced, via parabolic geometry, by the quaternionic contact (qc) manifolds introduced by O.Biquard. Equivalent characterizations of these spaces are proved: as conformal…

We establish an area formula for the spherical measure of intrinsically regular submanifolds of low codimension in Heisenberg groups. The spherical measure is computed with respect to an arbitrary homogeneous distance. Among the arguments…

We prove that if the shape of the metric unit ball in a homogeneous group enjoys a precise symmetry property, then the associated distance yields the standard form of the area formula. The result applies to some classes of smooth and…

We generalise the theories of cosymplectic, contact, and cocontact manifolds to the infinite-dimensional setting and calculate model examples of time-dependent and dissipative Hamiltonian systems.

We establish an integral formula on a smooth, precompact domain in a Kahler manifold. We apply this formula to study holomorphic extension of CR functions. Using this formula we prove an isoperimetric inequality in terms of a positive lower…

We study reparametrization-invariant Sobolev-type Riemannian metrics on the space of immersed surfaces and establish conditions ensuring metric and geodesic completeness as well as the existence of minimizing geodesics. This provides the…

Given a surface $S$ in a 3D contact sub-Riemannian manifold $M$, we investigate the metric structure induced on $S$ by $M$, in the sense of length spaces. First, we define a coefficient $\widehat K$ at characteristic points that determines…

We prove that higher moment maps on area measures of a euclidean vector space are injective, while the kernel of the centroid map equals the image of the first variation map. Based on this, we introduce the space of smooth dual area…

Using the results of \cite{P1}, we get some estimates of warping functions for isometric immersions by changing the target manifolds by some types of Riemannian manifolds: constant space forms and Hermitian symmetric spaces. And we deal…

We introduce the Hardy spaces for Fourier integral operators on Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. We then use these spaces to obtain improved local smoothing estimates for Fourier integral operators satisfying the cinematic…

A survey of some recent and important results which have to do with integrable equations and their relationship with the theory of surfaces is given. Some new results are also presented. The concept of the moving frame is examined, and it…

The concepts of spread and spread dimension of a metric space were introduced by Willerton in the context of quantifying biodiversity of ecosystems. This paper develops practical applications of spread dimension in the context of machine…

This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and contact topology in any dimension and continues this study in dimension 3. Specifically we provide a lower bound for the radius of a geodesic ball in a contact…
