In this study, we deal with the local structure of curves and surfaces immersed in a pseudo-isotropic space I_{p}^{3} that is a particular Cayley-Klein space. We provide the formulas of curvature, torsion and Frenet trihedron in order for…
The first author studied spacelike constant mean curvature one (CMC-1) surfaces in de Sitter 3-space when the surfaces have no singularities except within some compact subset and are of finite total curvature on the complement of this…
The geodesic total curvature of rectifiable spherical curves is analyzed. We extend to the case of high dimension spheres the explicit formula that holds true for curves supported into the 2-sphere. For this purpose, we take advantage of…
We investigate the space $X$ of unitary hermitian matrices over $\frp$-adic fields through spherical functions. First we consider Cartan decomposition of $X$, and give precise representatives for fields with odd residual characteristic,…
Let $M^n$ be either a simply connected space form or a rank-one symmetric space of noncompact type. We consider Weingarten hypersurfaces of $M\times\mathbb R$, which are those whose principal curvatures $k_1,\dots ,k_n$ and angle function…
Given a (genus 2) cube-with-holes M, i.e. the complement in S^3 of a handlebody H, we relate intrinsic properties of M (like its cut number) with extrinsic features depending on the way the handlebody H is knotted in S^3. Starting from a…
All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…
In this paper, we concern a generalized fully nonlinear curvature flow involving $k$-th elementary symmetric function for principal curvature radii in Eulidean space $\rnnn$, $k$ is an integer and $1\leq k\leq n-1$. For $1\leq k< n-1$,…
We exhibit the first example of a knot in the three-sphere with a pair of minimal genus Seifert surfaces that can be distinguished using the sutured Floer homology of their complementary manifolds together with the Spin^c-grading. This…
We review the extraordinary fertility and proliferation in mathematics and physics of the concept of a surface with constant and negative Gaussian curvature. In his outstanding 1868 paper Beltrami discussed how non-Euclidean geometry is…
Spline functions have long been used in numerical solution of differential equations. Recently it revives as isogeometric analysis, which offers integration of finite element analysis and NURBS based CAD into a single unified process.…
In this note, using some regular triangular tilings of the sphere, the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, we examine the potential relationship between their discrete Bakry - Emery curvatures and the smooth curvatures of their…
This is an elementary introduction to a method for studying harmonic maps into symmetric spaces, and in particular for studying constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces, that was developed by J. Dorfmeister, F. Pedit and H. Wu. There already…
In n-dimensional Euclidean space E^n, harmonic curvatures of a non-degenerate curve defined by \"Ozdamar and Hacisaliho\u{g}lu [4]. In this paper, We define a new type of curves called LC helix when the angle between tangent of this curve…
We present new examples of complete embedded self-similar surfaces under mean curvature by gluing a sphere and a plane. These surfaces have finite genus and are the first examples of self-shrinkers in $\mathbb R^3$ that are not rotationally…
In this paper, we study the discrete cubic nonlinear Schroedinger lattice under Hamiltonian perturbations. First we develop a complete isospectral theory relevant to the hyperbolic structures of the lattice without perturbations. In…
Weingarten surfaces are those whose principal curvatures satisfy a functional relation, whose set of solutions is called the curvature diagram or the W-diagram of the surface. Making use of the notion of geometric linear momentum of a plane…
The study of quadric surfaces of revolution is a cornerstone of classical Euclidean geometry, but its extension to the three-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ has not been sufficiently explored. This article addresses this important gap by…
In this paper, we study the spherical indicatrices of W-direction curves in three dimensional Euclidean space which were defined by using the unit Darboux vector field W of a Frenet curve, in [11]. We obtain the Frenet apparatus of these…
We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…
