To any compact Riemann surface of genus g one may assign a principally polarized abelian variety (PPAV) of dimension g, the Jacobian of the Riemann surface. The Jacobian is a complex torus and we call a Gram matrix of the lattice of a Jacobian a period Gra ...
Wave maps are the simplest wave equations taking their values in a Riemannian manifold (M,g). Their Lagrangian is the same as for the scalar equation, the only difference being that lengths are measured with respect to the metric g. By Noether's theorem, s ...
We prove the following version of Poincaré, duality for reduced L (q,p) -cohomology: For any 1 < q, p < a, the Lqp -cohomology of a Riemannian manifold is in duality with the interior Lp'q'-cohomology for 1/p + 1/p' = 1/q + 1/q' = 1. ...
We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal invariant. ...
The Lq,p-cohomology of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is defined to be the quotient of closed Lp-forms, modulo the exact forms which are derivatives of Lq-forms, where the measure considered comes from the Riemannian structure. The Lq,p-cohomology of a simpl ...
We first explore the notion of G-manifold, cobordism and then discuss the generalized Pontrjagin-Thom Theorem. We then compute the cobordism rings Ω (...) using stable homotopy theory. Secondly, we investigate the relations between cohomology theories and ...
We study the possibility of achieving metastable de Sitter vacua in general N=2 to N=1 truncated supergravities without vector multiplets, and compare with the situations arising in N=2 theories with only hypermultiplets and N=1 theories with only chiral m ...
In this work we do a theoretical analysis of the local sampling conditions for points lying on a quadratic embedding of a Riemannian manifold in a Euclidean space. The embedding is assumed to be quadratic at a reference point P. Our analysis is based on ...
In this paper we present a novel framework called geodesic active fields for general image registration on Riemannian manifolds. In image registration, one looks for the underlying deformation field that best maps one image onto another. This is a classic ...
We propose a segmentation method based on the geometric representation of images as surfaces embedded in a higher dimensional space, handling naturally multichannel images. The segmentation is based on an active contour embedded in the image manifold, alon ...
