In the shape analysis approach to computer vision problems, one treats shapes as points in an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, thereby facilitating algorithms for statistical calculations such as geodesic distance between shapes…

The torsion of every metric connection on a Riemannian manifold has three components: one totally skew-symmetric, one of vectorial type, and one of twistorial type. In this paper we classify complete simply connected Riemannian manifolds…

This paper presents an overview of recent developments in the analysis of shapes such as curves and surfaces through Riemannian metrics. We show that several constructions of metrics on spaces of submanifolds can be unified through the…

We develop a general deformation principle for families of Riemannian metrics on smooth manifolds with possibly non-compact boundary, preserving lower scalar curvature bounds. The principle is used in order to strengthen boundary…

In recent years, manifold learning has become increasingly popular as a tool for performing non-linear dimensionality reduction. This has led to the development of numerous algorithms of varying degrees of complexity that aim to recover man…

We explore to what extent one may hope to preserve geometric properties of three dimensional manifolds with lower scalar curvature bounds under Gromov-Hausdorff and Intrinsic Flat limits. We introduce a new construction, called sewing, of…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Assume all maximally extended geodesics intersect the boundary at both ends. Then to each maximal geodesic segment one can form a triple consisting of the initial and final vectors of…

In the recent past, nested structures in Riemannian manifolds has been studied in the context of dimensionality reduction as an alternative to the popular principal geodesic analysis (PGA) technique, for example, the principal nested…

For any maximal surface group representation into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,n+1)$, we introduce a non-degenerate scalar product on the the first cohomology group of the surface with values in the associated flat bundle. In particular, it gives rise…

A unit vector field on a Riemannian manifold $M$ is called geodesic if all of its integral curves are geodesics. We show, in the case of $M$ being a flat 3-manifold not equal to $\mathbb{E}^3$, that every such vector field is tangent to a…

We establish mean curvature estimate for immersed hypersurface with nonnegative extrinsic scalar curvature in Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1}, \bar g)$ through regularity study of a degenerate fully nonlinear curvature equation in general…

In this paper, we study and almost completely classify contact structures on closed 3--manifolds which are totally geodesic for some Riemannian metric. Due to previously known results, this amounts to classifying contact structures on…

This paper is concerned with the computation of an optimal matching between two manifold-valued curves. Curves are seen as elements of an infinite-dimensional manifold and compared using a Riemannian metric that is invariant under the…

We study a natural intrinsic definition of geometric simplices in Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary dimension $n$, and exploit these simplices to obtain criteria for triangulating compact Riemannian manifolds. These geometric simplices are…

A smooth foliation of a Riemannian manifold is metric when its leaves are locally equidistant and is homogenous when its leaves are locally orbits of a Lie group acting by isometries. Homogenous foliations are metric foliations, but metric…

We prove that some Riemannian manifolds with boundary under an explicit integral pinching are spherical space forms. Precisely, we show that 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, positive scalar curvature and an…

The following problem is addressed: A $3$-manifold $M$ is endowed with a triple $\Omega = \big(\Omega^1,\Omega^2,\Omega^3\big)$ of closed $2$-forms. One wants to construct a coframing $\omega = \big(\omega^1,\omega^2,\omega^3\big)$ of $M$…

These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It has more problems and omits the background material. It starts with the definition of Riemannian…

Here shape space is either the manifold of simple closed smooth unparameterized curves in $\mathbb R^2$ or is the orbifold of immersions from $S^1$ to $\mathbb R^2$ modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^1$. We investige several…

We show that a simply connected Riemannian homogeneous space M which admits a totally geodesic hypersurface F is isometric to either (a) the Riemannian product of a space of constant curvature and a homogeneous space, or (b) the warped…
