This report describes a new magnetohydrodynamic numerical model based on a hexagonal spherical geodesic grid. The model is designed to simulate astrophysical flows of partially ionized plasmas around a central compact object, such as a star…
In this paper almost complex surfaces of the nearly K\"ahler $S^3\times S^3$ are studied in a systematic way. We show that on such a surface it is possible to define a global holomorphic differential, which is induced by an almost product…
Graphite is an example of a layered material that can be bent to form fullerenes which promise important applications in electronic nanodevices. The spheroidal geometry of a slightly elliptically deformed sphere was used as a possible…
We construct a template with two ribbons that describes the topology of all periodic orbits of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle to any sphere with three cone points with hyperbolic metric. The construction relies on the…
A complete treatment of the intersections of two geodesics on the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution is given. With a suitable metric for the distances between intersections, bounds are placed on their spacing. This leads to fast and…
In many singular metric spaces, the regularity of a shortest-length curve is unknown. Algebraic varieties, or more generally sets defined by finitely many polynomial or real analytic equalities or inequalities, all locally partition into…
Geodesic vortex detection is a tool in nonlinear dynamical systems to objectively identify transient vortices with flow-invariant boundaries that defy the typical deformation found in 2-d turbulence. Initially formulated for flows on the…
We define and study graphs associated to hexagon decompositions of surfaces by curves and arcs. One of the variants is shown to be quasi-isometric to the pants graph, whereas the other variant is quasi-isometric to (a Cayley graph of) the…
Given a geodesic line $\gamma$ the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$ we formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for a function along this geodesic which measure the mean curvature of totally umbilical leaves of a foliation orthogonal to…
This paper investigates the relationship between a system of differential equations and the underlying geometry associated with it. The geometry of a surface determines shortest paths, or geodesics connecting nearby points, which are…
Embedding diagrams prove to be quite useful when learning general relativity as they offer a way of visualizing spacetime curvature through warped two dimensional (2D) surfaces. In this manuscript we present a different 2D construct that…
We study properties of typical closed geodesics on expander surfaces of high genus, i.e. closed hyperbolic surfaces with a uniform spectral gap of the Laplacian. Under an additional systole lower bound assumption, we show almost every…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic, and let $h$ be a complete hyperbolic metric on $\Sigma$. A geodesic curve $\gamma$ in $\Sigma$ is filling, if it cuts the surface into topological disks and…
We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…
We construct closed embedded minimal surfaces in the round three-sphere, resembling two parallel copies of the equatorial two-sphere, joined by small catenoidal bridges symmetrically arranged either along two parallel circles of the…
We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…
Closed geodesic lines on an ellipsoid in d-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. Explicit algebro-geometric condition for closedness of such a geodesic is given. The obtained condition is discussed in light of theta-functions theory…
Spherical radial basis functions are used to define approximate solutions to strongly elliptic pseudodifferential equations on the unit sphere. These equations arise from geodesy. The approximate solutions are found by the Galerkin and…
The paper focuses on synthesizing optimal contact curves that can be used to ensure a rolling constraint between two bodies in relative motion. We show that geodesic based contact curves generated on both the contacting surfaces are…
Geodesics are the shortest curves between any two points on a given surface. Geodesics in the state space of quantum systems play an important role in the theory of geometric phases, as these are also the curves along which the acquired…
