Singularities of lightcone Gauss images of spacelike hypersurfaces in de Sitter space

We define the notions of lightcone Gauss images of spacelike hypersurfaces in de Sitter space. We investigate the relationships between singularities of these maps and geometric properties of spacelike hypersurfaces as an application of the theory of Legendrian singularities. We classify the singularities and give some examples in the generic case in de Sitter 3-space.

Pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss maps of Lorentzian surfaces in anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we determine the type numbers of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss maps of all oriented Lorentzian surfaces of constant mean and Gaussian curvatures and non-diagonalizable shape operator in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Also, we investigate the behavior of type numbers of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss map along the parallel family of such oriented Lorentzian surfaces in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Furthermore, we investigate the type number of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss map of one of Lorentzian hypersurfaces of B-scroll type in a general dimensional anti-de Sitter space.     

Anti de Sitter horospherical flat timelike surfaces

We investigate a special timelike surfaces in Anti de Sitter 3-space.We call such a timelike surface an Anti de Sitter horospherical flat surface which belongs to a class of surfaces given by one parameter families of Anti de Sitter horocycle.We give a generic classification of singularities and study the geometric properties of such surfaces from the viewpoint of Legendrian singularity theory.     

Singularities of Hyperbolic Gauss Maps

In this paper we adopt the hyperboloid in Minkowski space asthe model of hyperbolic space. We define the hyperbolic Gaussmap and the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix of a hypersurface inhyperbolic space. The hyperbolic Gauss map has been introducedby Ch. Epstein [J. Reine Angew. Math. 372 (1986) 96–135]in the Poincaré ball model, which is very useful forthe study of constant mean curvature surfaces. However, it isvery hard to perform the calculation because it has an intrinsicform. Here, we give an extrinsic definition and we study thesingularities. In the study of the singularities of the hyperbolicGauss map (indicatrix), we find that the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrixis much easier to calculate. We introduce the notion of hyperbolicGauss–Kronecker curvature whose zero sets correspond tothe singular set of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix). Wealso develop a local differential geometry of hypersurfacesconcerning their contact with hyperhorospheres. 2000 MathematicalSubject Classification: 53A25, 53A05, 58C27.     

The singularities of null surfaces in Anti de Sitter 3-space

We study the geometric properties of degenerate surfaces, which are called AdS null surfaces, in Anti de Sitter 3-space from a contact viewpoint. These surfaces are associated to spacelike curves in Anti de Sitter 3-space. We define a map which is called the torus Gauss image. We also define two families of functions and use them to investigate the singularities of AdS null surfaces and torus Gauss images as applications of singularity theory of functions.     

On the volume and the Gauss map image of spacelike hypersurfaces in de Sitter space

In this paper we prove that a complete spacelike hypersurface in de Sitter space such that its image under the Gauss map is contained in a hyperbolic geodesic ball of radius is necessarily compact and its -dimensional volume satisfies , where denotes the volume of a unitary round -sphere. We also characterize the case where these inequalities become equalities. As an application of our result, we also conclude that Goddard's conjecture is true under the assumption that the hyperbolic image of the hypersurface is bounded.

     

Bisingular maps on the torus

A map is bisingular if each edge is either a loop or an isthmus (i.e., on the boundary of the same face). In this paper we study the number of rooted bisingular maps on the sphere and the torus, and we also present formula for such maps with four parameters: the root-valency,the number of isthmus, the number of planar loops and the number of essential loops.     

Equivelar maps on the torus

We give a classification of all equivelar polyhedral maps on the torus. In particular, we classify all triangulations and quadrangulations of the torus admitting a vertex transitive automorphism group. These are precisely the ones which are quotients of the regular tessellations {3,6}, {6,3} or {4,4} by a pure translation group. An explicit formula for the number of combinatorial types of equivelar maps (polyhedral and non-polyhedral) with n vertices is obtained in terms of arithmetic functions in elementary number theory, such as the number of integer divisors of n. The asymptotic behaviour for n→∞ is also discussed, and an example is given for n such that the number of distinct equivelar triangulations of the torus with n vertices is larger than n itself. The numbers of regular and chiral maps are determined separately, as well as the ones for all other kinds of symmetry. Furthermore, arithmetic properties of the integers of type p²+pq+q² (or p²+q², resp.) can be interpreted and visualized by the hierarchy of covering maps between regular and chiral equivelar maps or type {3,6} (or {4,4}, resp.).     

Singularities of convex improper affine maps

In this paper we consider convex improper affine maps of the three-dimensional affine space and classify their singularities. The main tool developed is a generating family with properties that closely resembles the area function for non-convex improper affine maps.     

Singularities of secant maps of immersed surfaces

The secant map of an immersion sends a pair of points to the direction of the line joining the images of the points under the immersion. The germ of the secant map of a generic codimension-c immersion $X\!\!:{\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^{n+c}The secant map of an immersion sends a pair of points to the direction of the line joining the images of the points under the immersion. The germ of the secant map of a generic codimension-c immersion X:\mathbb Rⁿ ? \mathbb R^n+cX\!\!:{\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^{n+c} at the diagonal in the source is a \mathbb Z₂{\mathbb Z}_2 stable map-germ \mathbb R²ⁿ ? \mathbb R^n+c-1{\mathbb R}^{2n} \to {\mathbb R}^{n+c-1} in the following cases: (i) c≥ 2 and (2n,n + c − 1) is a pair of dimensions for which the \mathbb Z₂{\mathbb Z}_2 stable germs of rank at least n are dense, and (ii) for generically immersed surfaces (i.e., n = 2 and any c≥ 1). In the latter surface case the A^{\mathbb Z₂}{\mathcal A}^{{\mathbb Z}_2}-classification of germs of secant maps at the diagonal is described and it is related to the A{\mathcal A}-classification of certain singular projections of the surfaces.     

Matter-coupled de Sitter supergravity

The de Sitter supergravity describes the interaction of supergravity with general chiral and vector multiplets and also one nilpotent chiral multiplet. The extra universal positive term in the potential, generated by the nilpotent multiplet and corresponding to the anti-D3 brane in string theory, is responsible for the de Sitter vacuum stability in these supergravity models. In the flat-space limit, these supergravity models include the Volkov–Akulov model with a nonlinearly realized supersymmetry. We generalize the rules for constructing the pure de Sitter supergravity action to the case of models containing other matter multiplets. We describe a method for deriving the closed-form general supergravity action with a given potential K, superpotential W, and vectormatrix fAB interacting with a nilpotent chiral multiplet. It has the potential V = e^K(|F²|+|DW|²-3|W|²), where F is the auxiliary field of the nilpotent multiplet and is necessarily nonzero. The de Sitter vacuums are present under the simple condition that |F²|-3|W|² > 0. We present an explicit form of the complete action in the unitary gauge.     

Enumeration of platonic maps on the torus

Certain maps (graph embeddings) on the torus are counted, namely those with all faces triangles, respectively quadrilaterals, resp. hexagons, and all vertices having the same degree (which then must be 6, 4 or 3, resp.). These are the toroidal analogues of the spherical maps corresponding to the five Platonic solids. Techniques from combinatorics and number theory are applied to obtain the results.
