In this paper we discuss how to associate a suitable non-transitive version of a Cartan connection to sub-Riemannian manifolds of corank 1 (including contact and quasi-contact sub-Riemannian manifolds) with non-necessarily constant…

We consider a class of martingales on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds that includes Brownian motion on a minimal submanifold. We give sufficient conditions for such martingales to be transient, extending previous results on the transience of…

In this paper, we extend the classical de Rham decomposition theorem to the case of Riemannian manifolds with boundary by using the trick of development of curves.

We put in a general framework the situations in which a Riemannian manifold admits a family of compatible complex structures, including hyperkahler metrics and the Spin-rotations of arxiv:1302.2846. We determine the (polystable) holomorphic…

We construct smooth bundles with base and fiber products of two spheres whose total spaces have non-vanishing $\hat{A}$-genus. We then use these bundles to locate non-trivial rational homotopy groups of spaces of Riemannian metrics with…

Riemann normal coordinates (RNC) are unsuitable for \kahler manifolds since they are not holomorphic. Instead, \kahler normal coordinates (KNC) can be defined as holomorphic coordinates. We prove that KNC transform as a holomorphic tangent…

In the paper a Riemannian structure on the tangent bundle is defined by using a statistical structure $(g,\nabla)$ on the base manifold. Expressions for various curvatures of the structure are derived. Some rigidity results of the structure…

We use the notion of generalized connection over a bundle map in order to present an alternative approach to sub-Riemannian geometry. Known concepts, such as normal and abnormal extremals, will be studied in terms of this new formalism. In…

A geometric triangulation of a Riemannian manifold is a triangulation where the interior of each simplex is totally geodesic. Bistellar moves are local changes to the triangulation which are higher dimensional versions of the flip operation…

We propose an algebraic Riemann-Roch formula for moving flat bundles on contant families in characteristic zero with values in the ring of algebraic differential characters. This formula lifts Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formula in the Chow…

We present a scheme for simulating conditioned semimartingales taking values in Riemannian manifolds. Extending the guided bridge proposal approach used for simulating Euclidean bridges, the scheme replaces the drift of the conditioned…

Conjugate gradient (CG) methods are widely acknowledged as efficient for minimizing continuously differentiable functions in Euclidean spaces. In recent years, various CG methods have been extended to Riemannian manifold optimization, but…

A framed surface is a smooth surface in the Euclidean space with a moving frame. By using the moving frame, we can define Bertrand framed surfaces as the same idea as Bertrand framed curves. Then we find the caustics and involutes as…

A nonholonomic system consists of a configuration space Q, a Lagrangian L, and an nonintegrable constraint distribution H, with dynamics governed by Lagrange-d'Alembert's principle. We present two studies both using adapted moving frames.…

Sub-Riemannian cubics are a generalisation of Riemannian cubics to a sub-Riemannian manifold. Cubics are curves which minimise the integral of the norm squared of the covariant acceleration. Sub-Riemannian cubics are cubics which are…

Cartan's equivalence method is applied to explicitly construct invariant coframes for four branches, which are used to characterize all non-linearizable third-order ODEs with a four-dimensional Lie symmetry subalgebra under point…

We investigate the geometric properties of hyperbolic affine flat, affine minimal surfaces in the equiaffine space $\mathbb{A}^3$. We use Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces.…

We review some results concerning the deformations of calibrated minimal submanifolds which occur in Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. The calibrated submanifolds are assumed compact with a non-empty boundary which is constrained…

In this paper we demonstrate how sub-Riemannian geometry can be used for manifold learning and surface reconstruction by combining local linear approximations of a point cloud to obtain lower dimensional bundles. Local approximations…
