A semi-global isometric embedding of abstract surfaces with Gaussian curvature changing signs of any finite order is obtained through solving the Darboux equation.

The question whether a Riemannian manifold is geodesically connected can be studied from geometrical as well as variational methods, and accurate results can be obtained by using the associated distance and related properties of the…

We extend the generalised hodograph method to regular non- diagonalisable integrable systems of hydrodynamic type, in light of the relation between such systems and F-manifolds with compatible connection. The method allows the construction…

Geodesics, which play an important role in spray-Finsler geometry, are integral curves of a spray vector field on a manifold. Some comparison theorems and rigidity issues are established on the completeness of geodesics of a spray or a…

We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection…

We construct standard resolutions for analytic local modules on complex hypersurfaces using standard basis methods, with extensions to complete intersections. The algebraic version over arbitrary infinite fields is also suggested.…

For an odd-dimensional oriented hyperbolic manifold with cusps and strongly acyclic coefficient systems we define the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel-Serre compactification of the manifold using bases of cohomology classes defined via…

We give a new description of classical Besov spaces in terms of a new modulus of continuity. Then a similar approach is used to introduce Besov classes on an infinite-dimensional space endowed with a Gaussian measure.

We study completeness properties of reparametrization invariant Sobolev metrics of order $n\ge 2$ on the space of manifold valued open and closed immersed curves. In particular, for several important cases of metrics, we show that Sobolev…

Solving the so-called geodesic endpoint problem, i.e., finding a geodesic that connects two given points on a manifold, is at the basis of virtually all data processing operations, including averaging, clustering, interpolation and…

Since their introduction by Thurston, measured geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces occur in many contexts. In [Mor], we have introduced a notion of flat laminations on surfaces endowed with a half-translation structure (that is a…

As observed by Auderset et al. (2005) and Wiesel (2012), viewing covariance matrices as elements of a Riemannian manifold and using the concept of geodesic convexity provide useful tools for studying M-estimators of multivariate scatter. In…

It is a collection of problems and exercises of geodesy and the theory of errors.

We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…

We provide a significant extension of the twisted connected sum construction of G_2-manifolds, i.e. Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy group G_2, first developed by Kovalev; along the way we address some foundational questions at the…

We describe all metrics geodesically compatible with a gl-regular Nijenhuis operator $L$. The set of such metrics is large enough so that a generic local curve $\gamma$ is a geodesic for a suitable metric $g$ from this set. Next, we show…

The computation of the index of the Hessian of the action functional in semi-Riemannian geometry at geodesics with two variable endpoints is reduced to the case of a fixed final endpoint. Using this observation, we give an elementary proof…

Implicitly described domains are a well established tool in the simulation of time dependent problems, e.g. using level-set methods. In order to solve partial differential equations on such domains, a range of numerical methods was…

The closed form solution for the geodesics of classical particles in SdS space are obtained in terms of hyperelliptic modular functions and multiple hypergeometric functions. The closed form solution for the five roots of the fifth degree…

In this paper, we try to generalize to the case of compact Riemannian orbifolds $Q$ some classical results about the existence of closed geodesics of positive length on compact Riemannian manifolds $M$. We shall also consider the problem of…
