We study linear cosmological perturbations in the most general teleparallel gravity setting, where gravity is mediated by the torsion and nonmetricity of a flat connection alongside the metric. For a general linear perturbation of this…
Consider a smooth closed surface $M$ of fixed genus $\geqslant 2$ with a hyperbolic metric $\sigma$ of total area $A$. In this article, we study the behavior of geometric and dynamical characteristics (e.g., diameter, Laplace spectrum,…
The appealing connection between non-Euclidean geometries and defects in solids is brought forth in this article. Drawing a correspondence between the nature of a defect and a specific geometric property of the material space not only…
An embedded curve in a symplectic surface $\Sigma\subset X$ defines a smooth deformation space $\mathcal{B}$ of nearby embedded curves. A key idea of Kontsevich and Soibelman arXiv:1701.09137 [math.AG], is to equip the symplectic surface…
As a contribution to the ongoing discussion of trajectories of spinless particles in spaces with torsion we show that the geometry of such spaces can be induced by embedding their curves in a euclidean space without torsion. Technically…
While the notion of isometric deformations of surfaces is straightforward for surfaces with Euclidean metric, a corresponding notion in isotropic space has been missing. By making Gauss' Theorema Egregium a necessary condition we develop a…
For submanifolds tangent to the structure vector field in cosymplectic space forms, we establish a basic inequality between the main intrinsic invariants of the submanifold, namely its sectional curvature and scalar curvature on one side;…
We establish geometric relationships between the average scale-invariant Cassinian metric and other hyperbolic type metrics. In addition, we study the local convexity properties of the scale-invariant metric balls in Euclidean once…
We present a thorough analysis on the invariance of the most widely used metrics in the Geometrothermodynamics (GTD) programme. We centre our attention in the invariance of the curvature of the space of equilibrium states under a change of…
We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…
The total space of the tangent bundle of a K\"ahler manifold admits a canonical K\"ahler structure. Parallel translation identifies the space ${\Bbb{T}}$ of oriented affine lines in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ with the tangent bundle of $S^2$. Thus, the…
We study the varieties of invariant totally geodesic submanifolds of isometries of the spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces in each finite dimension. We show that the dimensions of the connected components of these varieties determine…
We obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie group $\SU(N)$ which are not naturally reductive. This is achieved by using the generalized flag manifold $G/K=\SU(k_1+\cdots +k_p)/\s(\U(k_1)\times\cdots\times\U(k_p))$ and by…
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…
We prove that any non-Sasakian contact metric (\kappa,\mu)-space admits a canonical \eta-Einstein Sasakian or \eta-Einstein paraSasakian metric. An explicit expression for the curvature tensor fields of those metrics is given and we find…
This chapter reviews some past and recent developments in shape comparison and analysis of curves based on the computation of intrinsic Riemannian metrics on the space of curves modulo shape-preserving transformations. We summarize the…
A variant of a gauge theory is formulated to describe disclinations on Riemannian surfaces that may change both the Gaussian (intrinsic) and mean (extrinsic) curvatures, which implies that both internal strains and a location of the surface…
A 3-dimensional graph-manifold is composed from simple blocks which are products of compact surfaces with boundary by the circle. Its global structure may be as complicated as one likes and is described by a graph which might be an…
A flag area measure on an $n$-dimensional euclidean vector space is a continuous translation-invariant valuation with values in the space of signed measures on the flag manifold consisting of a unit vector $v$ and a $(p+1)$-dimensional…
The topological properties of a material depend on its symmetries, parameters, and spatial dimension. Changes in these properties due to parameter and symmetry variations can be understood by computing the corresponding topological…
