Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

Fréchet means in Wasserstein space

Yoav Zemel

This work studies the problem of statistical inference for Fréchet means in the Wasserstein space of measures on Euclidean spaces,

\mathcal W_2 ( \mathbb R^d )

. This question arises naturally from the problem of separating amplitude and phase variation i ...

Fracture of thin-ply composites

Guillaume Frossard

The demand for carbon/epoxy laminated composites is continuously increasing due to their high specific modulus and strength. Among them, laminates made of particularly thin layers (from t=0.015 to 0.150 mm) and called thin-ply composites are gaining in int ...

Hilbert Schemes as Moduli of Higgs Bundles and Local Systems

We construct five families of 2D moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles (respectively, local systems) by taking the equivariant Hilbert scheme of a certain finite group acting on the cotangent bundle of an elliptic curve (respectively, twisted cotangent ...

Exact geometric theory of dendronized polymer dynamics

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

Dendronized polymers consist of an elastic backbone with a set of iterated branch structures (dendrimers) attached at every base point of the backbone. The conformations of such molecules depend on the elastic deformation of the backbone and the branches, ...

Normal and conormal maps in homotopy theory

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of monoids and of con ...

The role of the tangent bundle for symmetry operations and modulated structures

Gervais Chapuis, Kurt Schenk, Philippe Kocian

An equivalence relation on the tangent bundle of a manifold is defined in order to extend a structure (modulated or not) onto it. This extension affords a representation of a structure in any tangent space and that in another tangent space can easily be de ...

On Singular Poisson Sternberg Spaces

We obtain a theory of stratified Sternberg spaces thereby extending the theory of cotangent bundle reduction for free actions to the singular case where the action on the base manifold consists of only one orbit type. We find that the symplectic reduced sp ...
