We propose a novel Riemannian geometric framework for variational inference in Bayesian models based on the nonparametric Fisher-Rao metric on the manifold of probability density functions. Under the square-root density representation, the…
In this paper we study the general affine geometry of curves in affine space $A^2$. For a regular plane curves we define two kinds of moving frames. The first is of minimal order in all moving frames.The second is the Frenet moving frame.…
The main drawback of the Frenet frame is that it is undefined at those points where the curvature is zero. Further- more, in the case of planar curves, the Frenet frame does not agree with the standard framing of curves in the plane. The…
We derive Frenet-type results and invariants of spatial curves immersed in $3$-dimensional generalized Minkowski spaces, i.e., in linear spaces which satisfy all axioms of finite dimensional real Banach spaces except for the symmetry axiom.…
We consider curves $\gamma : [0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}^3$ endowed with an adapted orthonormal frame $r : [0, 1]\to SO(3)$. We are interested in the cases where the frame is constrained, in the sense that one of its `curvatures' (i.e.,…
This thesis is devoted to the Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces along with applications in Quantum Mechanics. In the 1st part we introduce the well known Frenet frame. Later, we show that the curvature function is a lower bound…
We illustrate connections between differential geometry on finite simple graphs G=(V,E) and Riemannian manifolds (M,g). The link is that curvature can be defined integral geometrically as an expectation in a probability space of…
The analysis of curves has been routinely dealt with using tools from functional data analysis. However its extension to multi-dimensional curves poses a new challenge due to its inherent geometric features that are difficult to capture…
We introduce a new approach for computing curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Curvature is here meant as symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves of geodesics, as introduced by Zelenko and Li. We describe how they can be expressed using a…
In this paper, we investigate the geometric invariant properties of a normal curve on a smooth immersed surface under conformal transformation. We obtain an invariant-sufficient condition for the conformal image of a normal curve. We also…
We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups ${\rm GA}(2)={\rm GL}(2,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^2$ and ${\rm GA}(3)={\rm GL}(3,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^3$,…
The equivalence problem of curves with values in a Riemannian manifold, is solved. The domain of validity of Frenet's theorem is shown to be the spaces of constant curvature. For a general Riemannian manifold new invariants must thus be…
We study the geometry of fanning curves in the Grassmann manifold of n-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{kn}$; we construct a complete system of invariants which solve the congruence problem. The geometry of the invariants themselves…
Invariants withstand transformations and, therefore, represent the essence of objects or phenomena. In mathematics, transformations often constitute a group action. Since the 19th century, studying the structure of various types of…
We present the general theory of curves in conformal geometry using tractor calculus. This primarily involves a tractorial determination of distinguished parametrizations and relative and absolute conformal invariants of generic curves. The…
Any two equivalent discrete curves must have the same invariants at the corresponding points under an affine transformation. In this paper, we construct the moving frame and invariants for the discrete centroaffine curves, which could be…
Conformal invariance plays a significant role in many areas of Physics, such as conformal field theory, renormalization theory, turbulence, general relativity. Naturally, it also plays an important role in geometry: theory of Riemannian…
