We relate the total curvature and the isoperimetric deficit of a curve $\gamma$ in a two-dimensional space of constant curvature with the area enclosed by the evolute of $\gamma$. We provide also a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a special class…

A Bonnesen-type inequality is a sharp isoperimetric inequality that includes an error estimate in terms of inscribed and circumscribed regions. A kinematic technique is used to prove a Bonnesen-type inequality for the Euclidean sphere…

Canonical principal parameters are introduced for surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ without umbilical points. It is proved that in these parameters the surface is determined (up to position in space) by a pair of invariants satisfying a partial…

The Einstein-Cartan theory of gravitation and the classical theory of defects in an elastic medium are presented and compared. The former is an extension of general relativity and refers to four-dimensional space-time, while we introduce…

Seiberg-Witten theory leads to a delicate interplay between Riemannian geometry and smooth topology in dimension four. In particular, the scalar curvature of any metric must satisfy certain non-trivial estimates if the manifold in question…

Gauss's Lemma is revised by showing that the point set association of the double tangential space with the tangential space of a Riemannian manifold is not the identity. The latter point set association is called a metrical distortion, an…
