This paper describes the foundations of a differential geometry of a quaternionic curves. The Frenet-Serret equations and the evolutes and evolvents of a particular quaternionic curve are accordingly determined. This new formulation takes…
In this paper, we investigate the geometric invariant properties of a normal curve on a smooth immersed surface under conformal transformation. We obtain an invariant-sufficient condition for the conformal image of a normal curve. We also…
We introduce the Euler-Poincar\'e's characteristic with an elementary way and historically. We explain also why one should call Descartes-Poincar\'e characteristic instead of the Euler-Poincar\'e's characteristic. All the considered spaces…
Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in…
We give a simple construction of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand sequences of natural differential operators on a manifold equipped with a parabolic geometry. This method permits us to define the additional structure of a bilinear…
A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…
For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…
On spaces of constant curvature, the geodesic equations automatically have higher order integrals, which are just built out of first order integrals, corresponding to the abundance of Killing vectors. This is no longer true for general…
We provide a complete geometric solution to the problem of differentiating simplicial manifolds, extending classical Lie theory and complementing existing homotopical and formal approaches within a unifying framework. First, we establish a…
We consider vector valued, unit variance Gaussian processes defined over stratified manifolds and the geometry of their excursion sets. In particular, we develop an explicit formula for the expectation of all the Lipschitz--Killing…
We find a new obstruction for a real Einstein 4-orbifold with an A1-singularity to be a limit of smooth Einstein 4-manifolds. The obstruction is a curvature condition at the singular point. For asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, with…
The problem of classifying off-shell representations of the $N$-extended one-dimensional super Poincar\'{e} algebra is closely related to the study of a class of decorated $N$-regular, $N$-edge colored bipartite graphs known as {\em…
We derive a relationship between the eigenvalues of the Weyl-Schouten tensor of a conformal representative of the conformal infinity of a hyperbolic Poincar\'e manifold and the principal curvatures on the level sets of its uniquely…
It is shown that the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff fixed point theorem may be proven by extending the geometric approach originally devised by Henri Poincar\'e himself, along with several results from elementary differential topology. Beginning with…
Given a metric defined on a manifold of dimension three, we study the problem of finding a conformal filling by a Poincar\'e-Einstein metric on a manifold of dimension four. We establish a compactness result for classes of conformally…
The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…
These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…
The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…
We study the local equivalence problems of curves and surfaces in three dimensional Heisenberg group via Cartans method of moving frames and Lie groups, and find a complete set of invariants for curves and surfaces. For surfaces, in terms…
We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…
