We investigate a tangent space at a point of a general metric space and metric space valued derivatives. The conditions under which two different subspace of a metric space have isometric tangent spaces in a common point of these subspaces…

The theory of linear transports along paths in vector bundles, generalizing the parallel transports generated by linear connections, is developed. The normal frames for them are defined as ones in which their matrices are the identity…

Frames normal for linear connections in vector bundles are defined and studied. In particular, such frames exist at every fixed point and/or along injective path. Inertial frames for gauge fields are introduced and on this ground the…

Tangent category theory is a well-established categorical framework for differential geometry. A long list of fundamental geometric constructions, such as the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, and vector bundles have…

We define formal exponential maps for any graded manifold as maps from the formal tangent bundle (that we also define) into the graded manifold. We show that each such map uniquely determines and is determined by its associated Grothendieck…

In this paper we study maps (curved flats) into symmetric spaces which are tangent at each point to a flat of the symmetric space. Important examples of such maps arise from isometric immersions of space forms into space forms via their…

In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces drawn by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a regular ruled surface in the Euclidean -space. We obtain the…

In this article, we investigate Bertrand curves corresponding to the spherical images of the tangent, binormal, principal normal and Darboux indicatrices of a space curve in Euclidean 3-space. As a result, in case of a space curve is a…

We define a frontal bundle by imposing a compatibility condition on two types of coherent tangent bundles over a surface with boundary. Since it is known that there are two Gauss-Bonnet type formulas for coherent tangent bundles, we obtain…

We study cubic rational maps that take lines to plane curves. A complete description of such cubic rational maps concludes the classification of all planarizations, i.e., maps taking lines to plane curves.

We describe a procedure for constructing formal normal forms of holomorphic maps with a hypersurface of fixed points, and we apply it to obtain a complete list of formal normal forms for 2-dimensional holomorphic maps tangential to a curve…

In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…

In this paper, we introduce complex functional maps, which extend the functional map framework to conformal maps between tangent vector fields on surfaces. A key property of these maps is their orientation awareness. More specifically, we…

Any affine map on the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space gives rise to a natural map on the n-dimensional sphere whose dynamical aspects are not so well-studied in the literature. We explore the dynamical aspects of these maps by…

In this paper we introduce the notion of cofrontal mappings, as the dual objects to frontal mappings, and study their basic local and global properties. Cofrontals are very special mappings and far from generic nor stable except for the…

The Legendre curve in the unit tangent bundle over Euclidean plane is a plane curve with a moving frame. We have the (Legendre) curvature of the Legendre curve, and the existence and uniqueness theorems for the curvature are valid. In this…

A framed surface is a smooth surface in the Euclidean space with a moving frame. By using the moving frame, we can define Bertrand framed surfaces as the same idea as Bertrand framed curves. Then we find the caustics and involutes as…

The theory of classical types of curves in normed planes is not strongly developed. In particular, the knowledge on existing concepts of curvatures of planar curves is widespread and not systematized in the literature. Giving a…

We investigate helicoidal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space whose profile curves are frontals. Using the framework of Legendre curves and framed surfaces, we establish conditions under which helicoidal surfaces generated by…

In this note we examine a natural concept of a curve on a supermanifold and the subsequent notion of the jet of a curve. We then tackle the question of geometrically defining the higher order tangent bundles of a supermanifold. Finally we…
