Analytic lattice cohomology is a new invariant of reduced curve singularities. In the case of plane curves, it is an algebro-geometric analogue of Heegaard Floer Link homology. However, by the rigidity of the analytic structure, lattice…

A generalized Stiefel manifold is the manifold of orthonormal frames in a vector space with a non-degenerated bilinear or hermitian form. In this article, the Isometry group of the generalized Stiefel manifolds are computed at least up to…

Several important algorithms for machine learning and data analysis use pairwise distances as input. On Riemannian manifolds these distances may be prohibitively costly to compute, in particular for large datasets. To tackle this problem,…

Shape affects both the physical and chemical properties of a material. Characterizing the roughness, convexity, and general geometry of a material can yield information on its catalytic efficiency, solubility, elasticity, porosity, and…

Parametrizations of data manifolds in shape spaces can be computed using the rich toolbox of Riemannian geometry. This, however, often comes with high computational costs, which raises the question if one can learn an efficient neural…

The Riemannian manifold of curves with a Sobolev metric is an important and frequently studied model in the theory of shape spaces. Various numerical approaches have been proposed to compute geodesics, but so far elude a rigorous…

We study the geometry of the cuspidal edge $M$ in $\mathbb R^3$ derived from its contact with planes and lines (referred to as flat geometry). The contact of $M$ with planes is measured by the singularities of the height functions on $M$.…

We study the motion of sets by anisotropic curvature under a volume constraint in the plane. We establish the exponential convergence of the area-preserving anisotropic flat flow to a disjoint union of Wulff shapes of equal area, the…

In this work, we present a novel approach for solving stochastic shape optimization problems. Our method is the extension of the classical stochastic gradient method to infinite-dimensional shape manifolds. We prove convergence of the…

Determining the mean shape of a collection of curves is not a trivial task, in particular when curves are only irregularly/sparsely sampled at discrete points. We newly propose an elastic full Procrustes mean of shapes of (oriented) plane…

The current paper is devoted to the study of integral curves of constant type in parabolic homogeneous spaces. We construct a canonical moving frame bundle for such curves and give the criterium when it turns out to be a Cartan connection.…

We study the high-dimensional limit of (projective) Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds as metric measure spaces in Gromov's topology. The limits are either the infinite-dimensional Gaussian space or its quotient by an mm-isomorphic group…

In this work, we study the geodesics of the space of certain geometrically and physically motivated subspaces of the space of immersed curves endowed with a first order Sobolev metric. This includes elastic curves and also an extension of…

We explore the relation among volume, curvature and properness of a $m$-dimensional isometric immersion in a Riemannian manifold. We show that, when the $L^p$-norm of the mean curvature vector is bounded for some $m \leq p\leq \infty$, and…

Let $M_c$ be a $2$-dimensional space form of constant curvature $c=-1,0,1$ and $\gamma$ a smooth, closed, convex curve in $M_c$. We explicitly parametrize the \textit{$\alpha$-evolutoid} of $\gamma$, i.e.\ the closed curve $\gamma_\alpha$…

This paper provides theoretical and computational developments in statistical shape analysis of shape graphs, and demonstrates them using analysis of complex data from retinal blood-vessel (RBV) networks. The shape graphs are represented by…

We study metric spaces homeomorphic to a closed oriented manifold from both geometric and analytic perspectives. We show that such spaces (which are sometimes called metric manifolds) admit a non-trivial integral current without boundary,…
