The Minkowski inequality is a classical inequality in differential geometry, giving a bound from below, on the total mean curvature of a convex surface in Euclidean space, in terms of its area. Recently there has been interest in proving…

Algebraic-geometrical n-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems in a flat space are constructed. They are expressed in terms of the Riemann theta function of auxiliary algebraic curves. The exact formulae for the potentials of algebraic…

For a manifold embedded in an inner product space, we express geometric quantities such as {\it Hamilton vector fields, affine and Levi-Civita connections, curvature} in global coordinates. Instead of coordinate indices, the global formulas…

We introduce a class of potential submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces (each N-dimensional potential submanifold is a special flat torsionless submanifold in a 2N-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space) and prove that each N-dimensional…

A theorem of Dubrovin establishes the relationship between the GUE partition function and the partition function of Gromov-Witten invariants of the complex projective line. Based on this theorem we derive loop equations for the Gaussian…

We prove that the Frobenius structure constructed from the Gromov-Witten theory for an orbifold projective line with at most three orbifold points is uniquely determined by the WDVV equations with certain natural initial conditions.

Covariance of a quantum space with respect to a quantum enveloping algebra ties the deformation of the multiplication of the space algebra to the deformation of the coproduct of the enveloping algebra. Since the deformation of the coproduct…

In hep-th/9910245, Witten and Yau consider the AdS/CFT correspondence in the context of a Riemannian Einstein manifold $M^{n+1}$ of negative Ricci curvature which admits a conformal compactification with conformal boundary $N^n$. They prove…

In the elastic shape analysis approach to shape matching and object classification, plane curves are represented as points in an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, wherein shape dissimilarity is measured by geodesic distance. A…

With a small suitable modification, dropping the projectivity condition, we extend the notion of a Frobenius algebra to grant that a Frobenius algebra over a Frobenius commutative ring is itself a Frobenius ring. The modification introduced…

Gendo-Frobenius algebras are a common generalisation of Frobenius algebras and of gendo-symmetric algebras. A comultiplication is constructed for gendo-Frobenius algebras, which specialises to the known comultiplications on Frobenius and on…

We consider a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold with additional structure q. We find a condition that the affine structure q is parallel with respect to the Riamannian connection.We prove the sectional curvatures of three 2-sections formed…

Using the notion of Levi form of a smooth distribution, we discuss the local and the global problem of existence of one horizontal section of a smooth vector bundle endowed with a horizontal distribution. The analysis will lead to the…

In this paper, we construct a pair of solutions to the open WDVV equations associated with the infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds that underlie the genus-zero universal Whitham hierarchy, and for the resulting flat F-manifolds, we…

We describe some recent development on the theory of formal Frobenius manifolds via a construction from differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisk (DGBV) algebras and formulate a version of mirror symmetry conjecture: the extended…

We use Drinfeld style generators and relations to define an algebra $\mathfrak{U}_n$ which is a ``$q=0$'' version of the affine quantum group of $\mathfrak{gl}_n.$ We then use the convolution product on the equivariant $K$-theory of…

We initiate a study of projections and modules over a noncommutative cylinder, a simple example of a noncompact noncommutative manifold. Since its algebraic structure turns out to have many similarities with the noncommutative torus, one…

In the first part of this paper, we introduce the notion of "cyclic stratum" of a Frobenius manifold $M$. This is the set of points of the extended manifold $\mathbb C^*\times M$ at which the unit vector field is a cyclic vector for the…

We classify compact simply-connected 5-dimensional manifolds which admit a metric of nonnegative curvature with a connected non-abelian group acting by isometries. We show that they are diffeomorphic to either S^5, S^3 x S^2, the nontrivial…

A parametric manifold can be viewed as the manifold of orbits of a (regular) foliation of a manifold by means of a family of curves. If the foliation is hypersurface orthogonal, the parametric manifold is equivalent to the 1-parameter…
