Cartan's method of moving frames is briefly recalled in the context of immersed curves in the homogeneous space of a Lie group $G$. The contact geometry of curves in low dimensional equi-affine geometry is then made explicit. This delivers…
We construct integrable hierarchies of flows for curves in centroaffine ${\mathbb R}^3$ through a natural pre-symplectic structure on the space of closed unparametrized starlike curves. We show that the induced evolution equations for the…
In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…
Generalizations of the Korteweg-de Vries equation are considered, and some explicit solutions are presented. There are situations where solutions engender the interesting property of being chiral, that is, of having velocity determined in…
We establish Ecalle's mould calculus in an abstract Lie-theoretic setting and use it to solve a normalization problem, which covers several formal normal form problems in the theory of dynamical systems. The mould formalism allows us to…

We generalize the nonlinear one-dimensional equation for a fluid layer surface to any geometry and we introduce a new infinite order differential equation for its traveling solitary waves solutions. This equation can be written as a…
This goal of the paper is to show that the automorphisms of the complex of curves in a surface are induced by the self-homeomorphisms of the surface except the surface is the 2-holed torus.
We show how to descritize the Korteweg-de Vries equation in such a way as to preserve all the Lie point symmetries of the continuous differential equation. It is shown that, for a centered implicit scheme, there are at least two possible…
In this paper, symmetry analysis is extended to study nonlocal differential equations, in particular two integrable nonlocal equations, the nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation and the nonlocal modified Korteweg--de Vries equation. Lie…
The aim of this note is to survey the results in some geometric problems related to the centroids and the static equilibrium points of convex bodies. In particular, we collect results related to Gr\"unbaum's inequality and the…
We construct integrable discrete nonautonomous quad-equations as B\"acklund auto-transformations for known Volterra and Toda type semidiscrete equations, some of which are also nonautonomous. Additional examples of this kind are found by…
It is shown how pseudoconstants of the Liouville-type equations can be exploited as a tool for construction of the B\"acklund transformations. Several new examples of such transformations are found. In particular we obtained the B\"acklund…
The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
A simple version of the Segal-Wilson map from the SL(2,C) loop group to a class of solutions of the KdV hierarchy is given, clarifying certain aspects of this map. It is explained how the known symmetries, including Backlund…
It is hereby established that, in Euclidean spaces of finite dimension, bounded self-contracted curves have finite length. This extends the main result of Daniilidis, Ley, and Sabourau (J. Math. Pures Appl. 2010) concerning continuous…
In a given geometry, the kinematics of a congruence of curves is described by a set of three quantities called expansion, rotation, and shear. The equations governing the evolution of these quantities are referred to as kinematic equations.…

Hirota's discrete Korteweg-de Vries equation (dKdV) is an integrable partial difference equation on 2-dimensional integer lattice, which approaches the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a continuum limit. We find new transformations to other…
We investigate the evolution of open curves with fixed endpoints under the curve shortening flow, which evolves curves in proportion to their curvature. Using a distance comparison of Huisken, we determine the long-term behavior of open…
