Generalized Cheeger-Gromoll metrics and the Hopf map

We show that there exists a family of Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, which induces metrics of constant curvature on its unit tangent bundle. In other words, given such a metric on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, the Hopf map is identified with a Riemannian submersion from the universal covering space of the unit tangent bundle, equipped with the induced metric, onto the two-sphere. A hyperbolic counterpart dealing with the tangent bundle of a hyperbolic plane is also presented.     

Singularities of the Minkowski set and affine equidistants for a curve and a surface

Generic singularities of envelopes of families of chords and bifurcations of affine equidistants defined by a pair of a curve and a surface in R³ are classified. The chords join pairs of points of the curve and the surface such that the tangent line to the curve is parallel to the tangent plane to the surface. The classification contains singularities of stable Lagrange and Legendre projections, boundary singularities and some less known classes appearing at the points of the surface and the curve themselves.

Über ebene,regulär faktorisierbare und einfache holomorphe Abbildungen

In geometric mapping theory, mappings between complex manifolds whose fibres (as analytic sets) are non-singular, are of some interest. Under the further assumption that the tangent spaces to the fibres induce a subbundle of the tangent bundle, the mapping can be locally factored as a regular composed with a finite map. Further only assuming that the fibres are non-singular curves, we prove a topological regularity criterion.     

Optimal trajectories which are tangent to an affine distribution

In this work we study the trajectories which are tangent to an affine sub-bundle in the tangent bundle of a manifold and which minimize the “total energy”.We give some characterizations of such “regular” trajectories in terms of control theory and geometrical theory. We also build some sufficient conditions of existence for such curves. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On the Number of Points of Elliptic Curves over a Finite Field and a Problem of B. Segre

Several theorems are studied concerning the number of points of an elliptic curve with a Legendre form on a finite field, in order to analyse the distribution of regular and pseudoregular points in relation to a hyperbola in a finite affine plane.     

On the Geometry of the 7-Sphere

A sphere of dimension 4n+3 admits three Sasakian structures and it is natural to ask if a submanifold can be an integral submanifold for more than one of the contact structures. In the 7-sphere it is possible to have curves which are Legendre curves for all three contact structures and there are 2 and 3-dimensional submanifolds which are integral submanifolds of two of the contact structures. One of the results here is that if a 3-dimensional submanifold is an integral submanifold of one of the Sasakian structures and invariant with respect to another, it is an integral submanifold of the remaining structure and is a principal circle bundle over a holmophic Legendre curve in complex projective 3-space.     

Unit Tangent Sphere Bundles with Constant Scalar Curvature

As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.     

Singularities of a geodesic flow on surfaces with a cuspidal edge

This paper is a study of singularities of geodesic flows on surfaces with nonisolated singular points that form a smooth curve (like a cuspidal edge). The main results of the paper are normal forms of the corresponding direction field on the tangent bundle of the plane of local coordinates and the projection of its trajectories to the surface.     

Commuting dual billiard maps

To a closed convex smooth curve in the plane the dual billiard transformation of its exterior corresponds: given a point outside of the curve, draw a tangent line to it through the point, and reflect the point in the point of tangency. We prove that if two curves are given, such that the corresponding dual billiard transformations commute, then the curves are concentric homothetic ellipses.     

Some Invariants of Admissible Homotopies of Space Curves

A regular homotopy of a generic curve in a three-dimensional projective space is called admissible if it defines a generic one-parameter family of curves in which every curve has neither self-intersections nor inflection points, is not tangent to a smooth part of its evolvent, and has no tangent planes osculating with the curve at two different points. We indicate some invariants of admissible homotopies of space curves and prove, in particular, that the curve cannot be deformed in the class of admissible homotopies into a curve without flattening points.     

On the Pesin set of expansive geodesic flows in manifolds with no conjugate points

In this paper, we show that the Pesin set of an expansive geodesic flow in compact manifold with no conjugate points and bounded asymptote coincides a.e with an open and dense set of the unit tangent bundle. We also show that the set of hyperbolic periodic orbits is dense in the unit tangent bundle.     

Plane curves whose tangent lines at collinear points are concurrent

We are interested in a particular geometry of plane curves in characteristicp>0, which was inspired by Thas's article [13]. We will prove that any plane curve of degree > 2 whose tangent lines at collinear points are concurrent is either a strange curve or projectively equivalent to the Fermat curve of degreeq + 1, whereq is a power ofp.     

Differential geometry of curves in Lagrange Grassmannians with given Young diagram

Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians appear naturally in the intrinsic study of geometric structures on manifolds. By a smooth geometric structure on a manifold we mean any submanifold of its tangent bundle, transversal to the fibers. One can consider the time-optimal problem naturally associated with a geometric structure. The Pontryagin extremals of this optimal problem are integral curves of certain Hamiltonian system in the cotangent bundle. The dynamics of the fibers of the cotangent bundle w.r.t. this system along an extremal is described by certain curve in a Lagrange Grassmannian, called Jacobi curve of the extremal. Any symplectic invariant of the Jacobi curves produces the invariant of the original geometric structure. The basic characteristic of a curve in a Lagrange Grassmannian is its Young diagram. The number of boxes in its kth column is equal to the rank of the kth derivative of the curve (which is an appropriately defined linear mapping) at a generic point. We will describe the construction of the complete system of symplectic invariants for parameterized curves in a Lagrange Grassmannian with given Young diagram. It allows to develop in a unified way local differential geometry of very wide classes of geometric structures on manifolds, including both classical geometric structures such as Riemannian and Finslerian structures and less classical ones such as sub-Riemannian and sub-Finslerian structures, defined on nonholonomic distributions.     

Unit Tangent Sphere Bundles and Two-Point Homogeneous Spaces

We characterize two-point homogeneous spaces, locally symmetric spaces, C and B-spaces via properties of the standard contact metric structure of their unit tangent sphere bundle. Further, under various conditions on a Riemannian manifold, we show that its unit tangent sphere bundle is a (locally) homogeneous contact metric space if and only if the manifold itself is (locally) isometric to a two-point homogeneous space.     

There is no Bogomolov type restriction theorem for strong semistability in positive characteristic

We give an example of a strongly semistable vector bundle of rank two on the projective plane such that there exist smooth curves of arbitrary high degree with the property that the restriction of the bundle to the curve is not strongly semistable anymore. This shows that a Bogomolov type restriction theorem does not hold for strong semistability in positive characteristic.

     

Hörmander index in finite-dimensional case

We calculate the Hörmander index in the finite-dimensional case. Then we use the result to give some iteration inequalities, and prove almost existence of mean indices for given complete autonomous Hamiltonian system on compact symplectic manifold with symplectic trivial tangent bundle and given autonomous Hamiltonian system on regular compact energy hypersurface of symplectic manifold with symplectic trivial tangent bundle.     

二阶曲线间的射影映射

平面上的射影变换,将二阶曲线变为另一二阶曲线,这个射影变换也可以称为这两个二阶曲线间的射影映射.若两个二阶曲线相切,则存在以切点为射影中心的两个二阶曲线间的射影映射;若两个二阶曲线相离,则存在以两个二阶曲线公切线交点为射影中心的射影映射;若两个二阶曲线相交,则存在以其中一交点为射影中心的两个二阶曲线间的射影映射.
