Segmentation under geometrical conditions using geodesic active contours and interpolation using level set methods

Let I: be a given bounded image function, where is an open and bounded domain which belongs to ⁿ. Let us consider n=2 for the purpose of illustration. Also, let S={x_i}_i be a finite set of given points. We would like to find a contour , such that is an object boundary interpolating the points from S. We combine the ideas of the geodesic active contour (cf. Caselles et al. [7,8]) and of interpolation of points (cf. Zhao et al. [40]) in a level set approach developed by Osher and Sethian [33]. We present modelling of the proposed method, both theoretical results (viscosity solution) and numerical results are given. AMS subject classification 49L25, 74G65, 68U10     

Some Remarks on the Geodesic Completeness of Compact Nonpositively Curved Spaces

We study the following question: does a compact nonpositively curved space have a totally geodesic core?     

The Geodesics of Metric Connections with Vectorial Torsion

The present note deals with the dynamics of metric connections with vectorial torsion, as already described by E. Cartan in 1925. We show that the geodesics of metric connections with vectorial torsion defined by gradient vector fields coincide with the Levi-Civita geodesics of a conformally equivalent metric. By pullback, this yields a systematic way of constructing invariants of motion for such connections from isometries of the conformally equivalent metric, and we explain in as much this result generalizes the Mercator projection which maps sphere loxodromes to straight lines in the plane. An example shows that Beltrami's theorem fails for this class of connections. We then study the system of differential equations describing geodesics in the plane for vector fields which are not gradients, and show among others that the Hopf–Rinow theorem does also not hold in general.     

Trace formula on the p-adic upper half-plane

This article aims at showing a p-adic analogue of Selberg's trace formula, which describes a duality between the spectrum of a Hilbert-Schmidt operator and the length of prime geodesics appearing in the p-adic upper half-plane associated with a hyperbolic discontinuous subgroup of . Then we construct Markov processes on the fundamental domain relative to such subgroups, to whose transition operators the trace formula applied and a p-adic analogue of prime geodesic theorem is proved.

An isometrical CPn-theorem

Let M^n(n\ge \mathrm{3}) be a complete Riemannian manifold with {{\displaystyle \sec ?}}_M\ge \mathrm{1}, and let {{\displaystyle M}}_i^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i}(i=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}) be two complete totally geodesic submanifolds in M. We prove that if n₁ + n₂ = n − 2 and if the distance \left|{{\displaystyle M}}_{\mathrm{1}}{{\displaystyle M}}_{\mathrm{2}}\right|\ge \pi /\mathrm{2}, then M_i is isometric to {\mathbb{S}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h,{\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}}, or {\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{{{\displaystyle n}}_i/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}} with the canonical metric when n_i>0, and thus, M is isometric to {\mathbb{S}}^n/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h,{\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{n/\mathrm{2}}, or {\mathrm{?}\mathrm{P}}^{n/\mathrm{2}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_{\mathrm{2}} except possibly when n = 3 and M₁ (or M₂) \stackrel{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{o}}{{\displaystyle \cong }}{\mathbb{S}}^{\mathrm{1}}/{{\displaystyle \mathrm{?}}}_h with h\ge \mathrm{2} or n = 4 and M₁ (or M₂) \stackrel{\mathrm{i}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{o}}{{\displaystyle \cong }}\mathrm{?}{\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{2}}.

Structure of Lorentzian tori with a killing vector field

All Lorentzian tori with a non-discrete group of isometries are characterized and explicitly obtained. They can lie into three cases: (a) flat, (b) conformally flat but non-flat, and (c) geodesically incomplete. A detailed study of many of their properties (including results on the logical dependence of the three kinds of causal completeness, on geodesic connectedness and on prescribed curvature) is carried out. The incomplete case is specially analyzed, and several known examples and results in the literature are generalized from a unified point of view.
