Theorems on the existence of vector fields with given sets of Indexes of isolated Singular points are proved for the cases of closed manifolds, pairs of manifolds, manifolds with boundary, and gradient fields. It is proved that, on a…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a prescribed angle curve in a Riemannian manifold associated with a pair $(\mathcal{V},\theta)$, where $\mathcal{V}$ is a unit vector field along the curve and $\theta$ denotes the angle between…
Gradient vector fields are fundamental objects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, since various phenomena can be modeled within this framework. The ``moduli space'' of such vector fields provides the foundation for describing…
We describe the morphology of the universal function for the critical (cubic) circle map at the golden mean, paying particular attention to the birth of inflection points and their reproduction. In this way one can fully understand its…
The present paper deals with a study of curves on a smooth surface whose position vector always lies in the tangent plane of the surface and it is proved that such curves remain invariant under isometry of surfaces. It is also shown that…
The $\pi$-exterior derivative ${\o}d$, which is the Finslerian generalization of the (usual) exterior derivative $d$ of Riemannian geometry, is defined. The notion of a ${\o}d$-closed vector field is introduced and investigated. Various…
This note presents a procedure of constructing a higher dimensional sphere map from a lower dimensional one and gives an explicit formula for smooth sphere map with a given degree. As an application a new proof of a generalized…
A field $k$ is called large if every irreducible $k$-curve with a $k$-rational smooth point has infinitely many $k$-points. Let $k$ be a perfect large field and let $f \in k[x]$. Consider the evaluation map $f_k: k \to k$. Assume that $f_k$…
A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and…
Whitney type examples of maps $f\in C^k(\real^m,\real^n)$ for a maximal possible real $k$, and multidimensional space-filling curves with special properties are constructed.
We calculate the one-loop divergences for different vector field models in curved spacetime. We introduce a classification scheme based on their degeneracy structure, which encompasses the well-known models of the non-degenerate vector…
Earlier, there were defined two generalized (``motivic'') versions of the Poincar\'e series of a collection of plane valuations on the algebra ${\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb C}^2,0}$ of germs of holomorphic functions in two variables. One of them…
We study continuous groups of generalized Kerr-Schild transformations and the vector fields that generate them in any n-dimensional manifold with a Lorentzian metric. We prove that all these vector fields can be intrinsically characterized…
We show that the Poincar\'e series counting orthogeodesics of a negatively curved surface with totally geodesic boundary extends meromorphically to the whole complex plane, as well as the series counting geodesic arcs linking two points; we…
We provide sharp lower bounds for the multiplicity of a local holomorphic foliation defined in a complex surface in terms of data associated to a germ of invariant curve. Then we apply our methods to invariant curves whose branches are…
Consider the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ endowed with a canonical semi-symmetric non-metric connection determined by a vector field $\mathsf{C}\in\mathfrak{X}(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We study surfaces when the sectional curvature with respect to…
We consider a generalized angle in complex normed vector spaces. Its definition corresponds to the definition of the well known Euclidean angle in real inner product spaces. Not surprisingly it yields complex values as `angles'. This…
The exponential map that characterises the flows of vector fields is the key in understanding the basic structural attributes of control systems in geometric control theory. However, this map does not exists due to the lack of completeness…
We initiate the study of the norm-squared of the momentum map as a rigorous tool in infinite dimensions. In particular, we calculate the Hessian at a critical point, show that it is positive semi-definite along the complexified orbit, and…
We study a functional, whose critical points couple Dirac-harmonic maps from surfaces with a two form. The critical points can be interpreted as coupling the prescribed mean curvature equation to spinor fields. On the other hand, this…
