For immersed curves in Euclidean space of any codimension we establish a Li--Yau type inequality that gives a lower bound of the (normalized) bending energy in terms of multiplicity. The obtained inequality is optimal for any codimension…
We study positivity-preserving properties for the elastic flow of non-compact, complete curves in Euclidean space. Despite the fact that the canonical elastic energy is infinite in this context, we extend our recent work based on the…
We propose a notion of discrete elastic and area-constrained elastic curves in 2-dimensional space forms. Our definition extends the well-known discrete Euclidean curvature equation to space forms and reflects various geometric properties…
We collect and present in a unified way several results in recent years about the elastic flow of curves and networks, trying to draw the state of the art of the subject. In particular, we give a complete proof of global existence and…
This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain…
This note contains an elementary discussion of the Arakelov intersection theory of elliptic curves. The main new results are a projection formula for elliptic arithmetic surfaces and a formula for the "energy" of an isogeny between Riemann…
In this note, we study an obstacle problem for the elastic flow. We prove the local-in-time existence of weak solutions and discuss their relation to classical solutions when additional regularity is obtained. Related results concerning…
In arXiv:2205.02920 a variant of the classical elastic flow for closed curves in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ was introduced, that is more suitable for numerical purposes. Here we investigate the long-time properties of such evolution demonstrating…
A short historical account of the curves related to the two-dimensional floating bodies of equilibrium and the bicycle problem is given. Bor, Levi, Perline and Tabachnikov found, quite a number had already been described as Elastica by…
This note is about invariants of moduli spaces of curves. It includes their intersection theory and cohomology. Our main focus in on the distinguished piece containing the so called tautological classes. These are the most natural classes…
In this work, we give some new characterizations for inclined curves and slant helices in n-dimensional Euclidean space E^{n}. Morever, we consider the pre-characterizations about inclined curves and slant helices and reconfigure them.
By the classical Li-Yau inequality, an immersion of a closed surface in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Willmore energy below $8\pi$ has to be embedded. We discuss analogous results for curves in $\mathbb{R}^2$, involving Euler's elastic energy and…
Almost all available results in elasticity on curved topographies are obtained within either a small curvature expansion or an empirical covariant generalization that accounts for screening between Gaussian curvature and disclinations. In…
These notes contain a brief introduction to the construction of toric Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections with a focus on issues relevant for string duality calculations. The last two sections can be read independently and…
We study effective versions of unlikely intersections of images of torsion points of elliptic curves on the projective line.
This paper explores the relationship between closed curves on surfaces and their intersections. Like Dehn-Thurston coordinates for simple curves, we explore how to determine closed curves using the number of times they intersect other…
We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…
In this paper, we apply classical energy principles to Euler elasticae, i.e., closed C^2 curves in the plane supplied with the Euler functional U (the integral of the square of the curvature along the curve). We study the critical points of…
This is an expanded version of my plenary lecture at the 8th European Congress of Mathematics in Portoro\v{z} on 23 June 2021. The main part of the paper is a survey of recent applications of complex-analytic techniques to the theory of…
In this study, we consider curves of generalized AW(k)-type of Euclidean n-space. We give curvature conditions of these kind of curves.
