Through exploring the embedded transnormal systems of codimension 1, we show the existence of a transnormal function on a connected complete Riemannian manifold requires the underlying manifold to have a vector bundle structure or a linear…

We discover a fundamental exterior differential system of Riemannian geometry; indeed, an intrinsic and invariant global system of differential forms of degree $n$ associated to any given oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n+1$.…

Lorentz transformation equations provide us a set of relations between the spacetime coordinates as observed from two different inertial frames. In case, one of the frames is moving with a uniform rectilinear acceleration we have Rindler's…

We discuss the geometric foundation behind the use of stochastic processes in the frame bundle of a smooth manifold to build stochastic models with applications in statistical analysis of non-linear data. The transition densities for the…

We give a new normalization condition for connections on sub-Riemannian manifolds with constant symbols. The condition is formulated in terms of Cartan connections and depends only on the first degree of homogeneity of the curvature. The…

The realization of tractor bundles as associated bundles in conformal geometry is studied. It is shown that different natural choices of principal bundle with normal Cartan connection corresponding to a given conformal manifold can give…

Covariance matrices have attracted attention for machine learning applications due to their capacity to capture interesting structure in the data. The main challenge is that one needs to take into account the particular geometry of the…

The purpose of the paper is to study the relationship between differential equations, Pfaffian systems and geometric structures, via the method of moving frames of E.Cartan. We show a local structure theorem. The Lie algebra aspects…

Let G be a compact, connected Lie group, acting smoothly on a manifold M. Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson described a small Cartan model for the equivariant cohomology of M, quasi-isomorphic to the standard Cartan complex of equivariant…

The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The…

We give a differential geometric description of the Cartan (or tractor) bundle and its canonical connection in CR geometry, thus offering a direct, alternative, definition to the usual abstract approach.

The aim of this paper is the construction of spinor bundles of Cartan type over certain non-orientable manifolds.

We extend the framework of submanifolds in Riemannian geometry to Riemann-Cartan geometry, which addresses connections with torsion. This procedure naturally introduces a 2-form on submanifolds associated with the nontrivial ambient…

We investigate the motion of point vortices on the Mobius band and Klein bottle. Since these are non-orientable surfaces, the standard Hamiltonian approach does not apply. We therefore begin by establishing a modified Hamiltonian approach…

In this paper we give an explicit description of the bounded displacement isometries of a class of spaces that includes the Riemannian nilmanifolds. The class of spaces consists of metric spaces (and thus includes Finsler manifolds) on…

We consider the problem of robot motion planning in an oriented Riemannian manifold as a topological motion planning problem in its oriented frame bundle. For this purpose, we study the topological complexity of oriented frame bundles,…

We build compact moduli spaces of Grassmannian framed bundles over a Riemann surface, essentially replacing a group by its bi-invariant compactification. We do this both in the algebraic and symplectic settings, and prove a…

Geometric features, robust to noise, of curves in Euclidean space are of great interest for various applications such as machine learning and image analysis. We apply the Fels-Olver's moving frame method (for geometric features) paired with…

Canonical framings and stable framings for the tangent bundle of a spin 3-manifold are introduced, and illustrated by a number of familiar examples. Methods for constructing canonical framings, and for comparing them with other naturally…

The definitions and some basic properties of the linear transports along paths in vector bundles and the normal frames for them are recalled. The formalism is specified on line bundles and applied to a geometrical description of the…
