We prove a generalization of the classical Gauss-Bonnet formula for a conical metric on a compact Riemann surface provided that the Gaussian curvature is Lebesgue integrable with respect to the area form of the metric. We also construct…

In this paper we use the angular deficit scheme [V. Borrelli, F. Cazals, and J.-M. Morvan, {\sl Computer Aided Geometric Design} {\bf 20}, 319 (2003)] to determine the distribution of Gaussian curvature in developable cones (d-cones) [E.…

We study possible restrictions on the structure of curvature corrections to gravitational theories in the context of their corresponding Kac--Moody algebras, following the initial work on E10 in Class. Quant. Grav. 22 (2005) 2849. We first…

The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of…

The purpose of this short note was to outline the current status, then in 2011, of some research programs aiming at a categorification of parts of A.Connes' non-commutative geometry and to provide an outlook on some possible subsequent…

We discuss the analogy between collapsing Conformal Field Theories and measured Gromov-Hausdorff limit of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Motivated by this analogy we propose the notion of non-commutative…

We give a relationship that yields an effective geometric way of evaluating mean curvature of surfaces. The approach is reminiscent of the Gauss's contour based evaluation of intrinsic curvature. The presented formula may have a number of…

We study rotational surfaces in Euclidean 3-space whose Gauss curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. By means of a phase plane analysis and under mild assumptions on the prescribed function, we generalize the…

We consider strictly convex hypersurfaces with the boundary which meets a strictly convex cone perpendicularly. We prove that if these hypersurfaces expand inside this cone, driven by the power of the Gauss curvature, then the evolution…

The note is about some nonlinear curvature conditions which arise naturally in conformal geometry.

This work builds on earlier work of the first three authors where a notion of congruence modules in higher codimension is introduced. The main new results are a criterion for detecting regularity of local rings in terms of congruence…

We study the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable n-pointed curves of genus two with rational tails. The algebra is described in terms of explicit generators and relations. It is proven that this algebra is Gorenstein.

By introducing the modulus of continuity, we first establish the corresponding cross-ratio distortion estimates under $ C^2 $ smoothness, and further derive a Denjoy-type inequality, which is almost optimal for dealing with circle…

This paper surveys some selected topics in the theory of conformal metrics and their connections to complex analysis, partial differential equations and conformal differential geometry.

Recent results of several authors have led to constructions of parallelotopes which are bounded remainder sets for totally irrational toral rotations. In this brief note we explain, in retrospect, how some of these results can easily be…

We show relation between sign of Gaussian curvature of cuspidal edge and geometric invariants through types of singularities of Gauss map. Moreover, we define and characterize positivity/negativity of cusps of Gauss maps by geometric…

One of interesting issues in two-dimensional superconformal field theories is the existence of anomalous modular transformation properties appearing in some non-compact superconformal models, corresponding to the `mock modularity' in…

Conformal geometry is considered within a general relativistic framework. An invariant distant for proper time is defined and a parallel displacement is applied in the distorted space-time, modifying Einstein's equation appropriately. A…

We aim to explore if inside a quantum vertex algebras, we can find the right notion of a quantum conformal algebra.

We consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and the geodesic curvatures of a compact surface with boundary by a conformal deformation of the metric. We derive some existence results using a variational approach, either by…
