This paper introduces and investigates a generalization of the notion of a pointed Riemannian manifold having its radial curvature bounded from above by that of a model surface of revolution.

The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…

We revisit the Schr\"{o}dinger equation of a quantum particle that is confined on a curved surface. Inspired by the novel work of R. C. T. da Costa [1] we find the field equation in a more convenient notation. The contribution of the…

Differential geometry may be generalized to allow infinitesimals to any order. The purpose of the present contribution is to show that the theory so developed expands received geometrical ideas in an interesting way, rich in potential for…

This paper describes a novel framework for computing geodesic paths in shape spaces of spherical surfaces under an elastic Riemannian metric. The novelty lies in defining this Riemannian metric directly on the quotient (shape) space, rather…

In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter-symmetric connections; even some of them are not introduced so far. We also…

Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…

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…

Given a compact manifold with boundary with unknown Riemannian metric. The problem is to reconstruct the metric in a class of conformal metrics from knowledge of lengths of all closed geodesics (kinematic data). An integral inequality is…

Let X be a manifold equipped with a complete Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature and finite volume. We demonstrate the finiteness of the collection of totally geodesic immersed hypersurfaces in X that lie in the zero-level set…

In this paper we prove that any Riemannian surface, with no restriction of curvature at all, can be decomposed into blocks belonging just to some of these types: generalized Y-pieces, generalized funnels and halfplanes.

The objective of this paper is to improve the customary definition of redundancy by providing quantitative measures in its place, which we coin upper and lower redundancies, that match better with an intuitive understanding of redundancy…

For a Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ and a compact domain $\Omega \subset M^{n+1}$ bounded by a hypersurface $\partial \Omega$ with normal curvature bounded below, estimates are obtained in terms of the distance from $O$ to $\partial \Omega$…

In this paper continuing our work started in our earlier papers we prove the corona theorem for the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on an unbranched covering of a Caratheodory hyperbolic Riemann surface of finite type.

We consider geometric triangulations of surfaces, i.e., triangulations whose edges can be realized by disjoint locally geodesic segments. We prove that the flip graph of geometric triangulations with fixed vertices of a flat torus or a…

This article is an attempt to generalize Riemann's bilinear relations on compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2, which may lead to new structures in the theory of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. No significant result is obtained, the…

In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property.…
