There is a growing interest in developing covariance functions for processes on the surface of a sphere due to wide availability of data on the globe. Utilizing the one-to-one mapping between the Euclidean distance and the great circle…
We give a brief non-technical introduction to non-regular spacetime geometry. In particular, we discuss how curvature, and hence gravity, can be defined without a smooth (differential geometric) calculus.
In this work we define the surfaces spherical type via support function (in short, SS-surfaces). We present a Weierstrass type representation for SS-surfaces with prescribed Gauss map which depends on two holomorphic functions. Also, we use…
We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group.…

Many compliant shell mechanisms are periodically corrugated or creased. Being thin, their preferred deformation modes are inextensional, i.e., isometric. Here, we report on a recent characterization of the isometric deformations of periodic…
The fidelity per site between two ground states of a quantum lattice system corresponding to different values of the control parameter defines a surface embedded in a Euclidean space. The Gaussian curvature naturally quantifies quantum…

Wave maps (or Lorentzian-harmonic maps) from a $1+1$-dimensional Lorentz space into the $2$-sphere are associated to constant negative Gaussian curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space via the Gauss map, which is harmonic with respect to the…
It is known that a surface with parallel mean curvature vector field in a Riemannian product of two surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature carries a holomorphic quadratic differential. In this paper we consider the Riemannian product of a…
A nonrelativistic scalar particle that is constrained to move on an asymptotically flat curved surface undergoes a geometric scattering that is sensitive to the mean and Gaussian curvatures of the surface. A careful study of possible…
