We show that a conformal connection on a closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ of negative Euler characteristic preserves precisely one conformal structure and is furthermore uniquely determined by its unparametrised geodesics. As a corollary it…
Let $M_c$ be a $2$-dimensional space form of constant curvature $c=-1,0,1$ and $\gamma$ a smooth, closed, convex curve in $M_c$. We explicitly parametrize the \textit{$\alpha$-evolutoid} of $\gamma$, i.e.\ the closed curve $\gamma_\alpha$…
It is well-known that sigma-models with symmetric target spaces are classically integrable. At the example of the model with target space the flag manifold U(3)/U(1)^3 -- a non-symmetric space -- we show that the introduction of torsion…
