A Limit Cycle in Plane Hyperbolic Curve Theory

We prove a hyperbolic analogon of the euclidean theorem of Abramescu. The proof makes use of the basic concepts of plane hyperbolic differential geometry of G. W. M. Kallenberg.     

Discrete subgroups of <Emphasis Type="Italic">PU</Emphasis> (2, 1) acting on P<Stack><Subscript>ℂ</Subscript><Superscript>2</Superscript></Stack> and the Kobayashi metric

In this paper, we prove following: If G ⊂ PU (2, 1) is an infinite, discrete group, acting on P_ℂ² without complex invariant lines, then the component containing ℍP_ℂ² of the domain of discontinuity Ω(G) = PP_ℂ²∖ Λ (G), according to Kulkarni, is G-invariant complete Kobayashi hyperbolic.

A classification and construction of entirely circular cubics in the hyperbolic plane

If each intersection point of a third order curve with the absolute conic of the hyperbolic plane is a tangential point, this curve will be called an entirely circular cubic. According to this definition a rough classification of such curves is given into four main types and nine sub-types. Some of them are constructed by a (1,2) or (1,1) mapping and the others are constructed by the generalized quadratic hyperbolic inversion. Thus we extend and complete Palman's paper [5] in a synthetic way. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On the Limit Set of Discrete Subgroups of PU(2,1)

Let G be a discrete subgroup of PU(2,1); G acts on preserving the unit ball , equipped with the Bergman metric. Let be the limit set of G in the sense of Chen–Greenberg, and let be the limit set of the G-action on in the sense of Kulkarni. We prove that L(G) = Λ(G) ∩ S ³ and Λ(G) is the union of all complex projective lines in which are tangent to S ³ at a point in L(G).     

A generalization of the Discrete Isoperimetric Inequality for Piecewise Smooth Curves of Constant Geodesic Curvature

Summary The discrete isoperimetric problem is to determine the maximal area polygon with at most <InlineEquation ID=IE"1"><EquationSource Format="TEX"><![CDATA[<InlineEquation ID=IE"2"><EquationSource Format="TEX"><![CDATA[$]]></EquationSource></InlineEquation>]]></EquationSource></InlineEquation>k$ vertices and of a given perimeter. It is a classical fact that the unique optimal polygon on the Euclidean plane is the regular one. The same statement for the hyperbolic plane was proved by K\'aroly Bezdek [1] and on the sphere by L\'aszl\'o Fejes T\'oth [3]. In the present paper we extend the discrete isoperimetric inequality for ``polygons' on the three planes of constant curvature bounded by arcs of a given constant geodesic curvature.     

“Minimal Surfaces in ℍ<Superscript>2</Superscript> × ℝ”

In ² × ℝ one has catenoids, helicoids and Scherk-type surfaces. A Jenkins-Serrin type theorem holds here. Moreover there exist complete minimal graphs in ² with arbitrary continuous asymptotic values. Finally, a graph on a domain of ² cannot have an isolated singularity. Received: 20 June 2002     

HYPERBOLIC MEAN CURVATURE FLOW：EVOLUTION OF PLANE CURVES

In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional hyperbolic mean curvatureflow for closed plane curves. More precisely, we consider a family of closed curves F ： S1 × [0, T ） → R^2 which satisfies the following evolution equation δ^2F /δt^2 （u, t） = k（u, t）N（u, t）-▽ρ（u, t）, ∨（u, t） ∈ S^1 × [0, T ） with the initial data F （u, 0） = F0（u） and δF/δt （u, 0） = f（u）N0, where k is the mean curvature and N is the unit inner normal vector of the plane curve F （u, t）, f（u） and N0 are the initial velocity and the unit inner normal vector of the initial convex closed curve F0, respectively, and ▽ρ is given by
▽ρ Δ=（δ^2F /δsδt ,δF/δt） T , in which T stands for the unit tangent vector. The above problem is an initial value problem for a system of partial differential equations for F , it can be completely reduced to an initial value problem for a single partial differential equation for its support function. The latter equation is a hyperbolic Monge-Ampere equation. Based on this, we show that there exists a class of initial velocities such that the solution of the above initial value problem exists only at a finite time interval [0, Tmax） and when t goes to Tmax, either the solution convergesto a point or shocks and other propagating discontinuities are generated. Furthermore, we also consider the hyperbolic mean curvature flow with the dissipative terms and obtain the similar equations about the support functions and the curvature of the curve. In the end, we discuss the close relationship between the hyperbolic mean curvature flow and the equations for the evolving relativistic string in the Minkowski space-time R^1,1.     

Minimum Area of a Set of Constant Width in the Hyperbolic Plane

We prove that, in the hyperbolic plane, the Reuleaux triangle has smaller area than any other set of the same constant width.     

Non-Euclidean visibility problems

We consider the analog of visibility problems in hyperbolic plane (represented by Poincaré half-plane model ℍ), replacing the standard lattice ℤ × ℤ by the orbitz = i under the full modular group SL₂(ℤ). We prove a visibility criterion and study orchard problem and the cardinality of visible points in large circles.

The Bonnesen isoperimetric inequality in a surface of constant curvature

We first estimate the containment measure of a convex domain to contain in another in a surface X of constant curvature.Then we obtain the analogue of the known Bonnesen isoperimetric inequality for convex domain in X.Finally we strengthen the known Bonnesen isoperimetric inequality.     

On Differentiable Compactifications of the Hyperbolic Plane and Algebraic Actions of SL2(\mathbb R) on Surfaces

Real-analytic actions of SL(2;R) on surfaces have been classified, up to analytic change of coordinates. In particular it is known that there exists countably many analytic equivariant compactification of the isometric action on the hyperbolic plane. In this paper we study the algebraicity of these actions. We get a classification of the algebraic actions of SL(2,R) on surfaces. In particular, we classify the algebraic equivariant compactifications of the hyperbolic plane. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Distributional properties of the typical cell of stationary iterated tessellations

Distributional properties are considered of the typical cell of stationary iterated tessellations (SIT), which are generated by stationary Poisson-Voronoi tessellations (SPVT) and stationary Poisson line tessellations (SPLT), respectively. Using Neveus exchange formula, the typical cell of SIT can be represented by those cells of its component tessellation hitting the typical cell of its initial tessellation. This provides a simulation algorithm without consideration of limits in space. It has been applied in order to estimate the probability densities of geometric characteristics of the typical cell of SIT generated by SPVT and SPLT. In particular, the probability densities of the number of vertices, the perimeter, and the area of the typical cell of such SIT have been determined.Acknowledgement.
