Germs of tubular neighborhood embeddings for submanifolds N of manifolds M are in one-one correspondence with germs of Euler-like vector fields near N. In many contexts, this reduces the proof of `normal forms results' for geometric…

In this note, we show that (the germ of) each Euler-like vector field comes from a tubular neighborhood embedding given by the normal exponential map of some Riemannian metric.

Given a manifold M with a submanifold N, the deformation space D(M,N) is a manifold with a submersion to R whose zero fiber is the normal bundle, and all other fibers are equal to M. This article uses deformation spaces to study the local…

In this article a relation between curvature functionals for surfaces in the Euclidean space and area functionals in relative differential geometry will be given. Relative differential geometry can be described as the geometry of surfaces…

We establish normal forms for conformal vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds in the neighborhood of a singularity. For real-analytic Lorentzian manifolds, we show that the vector field is analytically linearizable or the manifold is…

We consider in this paper an area functional defined on submanifolds of fixed degree immersed into a graded manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric. Since the expression of this area depends on the degree, not all variations are…

We present a new formulation of some basic differential geometric notions on a smooth manifold M, in the setting of nonstandard analysis. In place of classical vector fields, for which one needs to construct the tangent bundle of M, we…

Let $M$ be a compact 3-manifold with a triangulation $\tau$. We give an inequality relating the Euler characteristic of a surface $F$ normally embedded in $M$ with the number of normal quadrilaterals in $F$. This gives a relation between a…

In this paper a thorough study of the normal form and the first integrability conditions arising from {\em bi-conformal vector fields} is presented. These new symmetry transformations were introduced in {\em Class. Quantum…

In a previous paper the authors elaborated notions and technique which could be applied to compute such invariants of polynomials as Euler characteristics of fibres and zeta-functions of monodromy transformations associated with a…

The Euler characteristic transform (ECT) is a simple to define yet powerful representation of shape. The idea is to encode an embedded shape using sub-level sets of a a function defined based on a given direction, and then returning the…

Let M and N be smooth manifolds without boundary. Immersion theory suggests that an understanding of the space of smooth embeddings emb(M,N) should come from an analysis of the cofunctor V |--> emb(V,N) from the poset O of open subsets of M…

We develop a notion of formal groups in the filtered setting and describe a duality relating these to a specified class of filtered Hopf algebras. We then study a deformation to the normal cone construction in the setting of derived…

This note provides an affirmative answer to a question of Viterbo concerning the existence of nondiffeomorphic contact forms that share the same Reeb vector field. Starting from an observation by Croke-Kleiner and Abbondandolo that such…

In this paper we adapt the method of [P. H. Baptistelli, M. Manoel and I. O. Zeli. Normal form theory for reversible equivariant vector fields. Bull. Braz. Math. Soc., New Series 47 (2016), no. 3, 935-954] to obtain normal forms of a class…

We introduce the notion of K\"ahler manifolds that are almost Einstein and we define a generalized mean curvature vector field along submanifolds in them. We prove that Lagrangian submanifolds remain Lagrangian, when deformed in direction…

We give a new and self-contained proof of the existence and unicity of the flow for an arbitrary (not necessarily homogeneous) smooth vector field on a real supermanifold, and extend these results to the case of holomorphic vector fields on…

We find formal and holomorphic normal forms for a class of meromorphic connections (the so-called $(TE)$-structures) over the irreducible $2$-dimensional globally nilpotent $F$-manifold germ $\mathcal N_{2}$. We find normal forms for Euler…

A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…

In this paper we investigate how germs of real functions can change under deformation. In particular we look at deformations of germs of isolated singularities from R_n to R_k (n >= k) and the relation with there natural stratification in…
