In particular, I would like to thank him for the opportunity to follow my own agenda and investigate what I found interesting. I would also like to thank Prof. Oleg Davydov and Prof. Armin Iske for agreeing to coreferee this thesis. My special thanks go to Prof. Karsten Große-Brauckmann for his support and his patience with my questions about Riemannian geometry. I would further like to thank my colleagues at TU Darmstadt for some very helpful ideas, for proofreading and their companionship, the team of the DFS section of Cenit AG for giving me a bit of distraction when my thoughts were stuck and — last but not least — my wife for her patience and understanding. v vi Abstract of the Thesis While many problems of approximation theory are already well-understood in Eu- clidean space and its subdomains, much less is known about problems on subman- ifolds of that space. And this knowledge is even more limited when the approxima- tion problem presents certain difficulties like sparsity of data samples or noise on function evaluations, both of which can be handled successfully in Euclidean space by minimisers of certain energies. On the other hand, such energies give rise to a considerable amount of techniques for handling various other approximation prob- lems, in particular certain partial differential equations. The present thesis provides a deep going analysis of approximation results on sub- manifolds and approximate representation of intrinsic functionals: It provides a method to approximate a given function on a submanifold by suitable extension of this function into the ambient space followed by approximation of this extension on the ambient space and restriction of the approximant to the manifold, and it investigates further properties of this approximant. Moreover, a differential cal- culus for submanifolds via standard calculus on the ambient space is deduced from Riemannian geometry, and various energy functionals are presented and approx- imately handled by an approximate application of this calculus. This approximate handling of functionals is then employed in several penalty-based methods to solve problems such as interpolation in sparse data sites, smoothing and denoising of function values and approximate solution of certain partial differential equations. vii viii German Summary — Deutsche Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Dissertationsschrift befasst sich mit Problemen der Approximation auf eingebetteten Untermannigfaltigkeiten des euklidischen Raumes. Nach einer kurzen Einführung über geeignete Untermannigfaltigkeiten und über Funktionenräume auf ebensolchen erweitert sie zunächst bekannte Konvergen- zresultate für die sogenannte ambient approximation method und deren bisher wichtigsten Spezialfall, die ambient B-spline method. Insbesondere generalisiert sie diese auf Untermannigfaltigkeiten mit höherer Codimension und ergänzt die betreffenden Resultate um Ergebnisse zu Approximation unter einer endlichen, festen Anzahl an Interpolationsbedingungen und um Approximationsaussagen zur Ableitung entlang des Normalenbündels der Untermannigfaltigkeit. Im Anschluss wird ein intrinsischer, tangentialer Calculus für solche Unterman- nigfaltigkeiten eingeführt, der auf bestehenden Konzepten der riemannschen Ge- ometrie basiert. Dabei wird insbesondere die Beziehung zwischen intrinsischer, tangentialer Ableitung und der korrespondierenden euklidischen Ableitung ent- lang von Elementen des Tangentialraums beleuchtet. Außerdem werden in diesem Zusammenhang eine Reihe von intrinsischen Funktionalen eingeführt, und es wird insbesondere das Konzept der polynomiellen Unisolvenz in die Situation des tan- gentialen Calculus übertragen. Als nächstes wird eine Methodik vorgestellt, die die Approximation der Optima be- sagter Funktionale mittels im Kern extrinsischer Methoden erlaubt, die sich auf die sogenannten penalty-Verfahren beziehen. Für die resultierende ambient penalty approximation werden Konvergenzresultate präsentiert, und es werden beispiel- haft verschiedene interessante Funktionale diskutiert, die unter anderem Extrap- olation aus wenigen verstreuten Datenpunkten auf der Untermannigfaltigkeit Ϻ, Glättung von Funktionswerten über Ϻ und die näherungsweise Lösung elliptischer partieller Differentialgleichungen auf Ϻ erlauben. ix x Chapter 1 Introduction and Related Work The problem of approximation of functions on manifolds, particularly surfaces, has gained both relevance and attraction over the last years. The relevance came with the increased capability and popularity of computer systems in representation, pro- cessing and simulation of problems in engineering, manufacturing and the natural and medical sciences. Computer graphics (CG), medical imaging, computer aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) or recently industry 4.0 are just some of the keywords that one frequently encounters in this area. And the problems that need to be solved are as diverse as • simulation of biological, physical or manufacturing processes on computer

  • Nonlinear Elasticity in a Deforming Ambient Space Contents 1
    Nonlinear Elasticity in a Deforming Ambient Space∗ Arash Yavari† Arkadas Ozakin‡ Souhayl Sadik§ 27 May 2016 Abstract In this paper we formulate a nonlinear elasticity theory in which the ambient space is evolving. For a continuum moving in an evolving ambient space, we model time dependency of the metric by a time- dependent embedding of the ambient space in a larger manifold with a fixed background metric. We derive both the tangential and the normal governing equations. We then reduce the standard energy balance written in the larger ambient space to that in the evolving ambient space. We consider quasi-static deformations of the ambient space and show that a quasi-static deformation of the ambient space results in stresses, in general. We linearize the nonlinear theory about a reference motion and show that variation of the spatial metric corresponds to an effective field of body forces. Keywords: Geometric mechanics, nonlinear elasticity, deforming ambient space.

  • Persistence Stability for Geometric Complexes Arxiv:1207.3885V3
    Persistence stability for geometric complexes Fr´ed´ericChazal∗, Vin de Silvay, Steve Oudotz November 11, 2013 Abstract In this paper we study the properties of the homology of different geometric filtered complexes (such as Vietoris{Rips, Cechˇ and witness complexes) built on top of totally bounded metric spaces. Using recent developments in the theory of topological persis- tence, we provide simple and natural proofs of the stability of the persistent homology of such complexes with respect to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance. We also exhibit a few noteworthy properties of the homology of the Rips and Cechˇ complexes built on top of compact spaces. 1 Introduction The inference of topological properties of metric spaces from approximations is a problem that has attracted special attention in computational topology in recent years. Given a metric space (Y; dY ) approximating an unknown metric space (X; dX ), the aim is to build a simplicial complex on the vertex set Y whose homology or homotopy type is the same as X. Note that, although Y is finite in many applications, finiteness is not a requirement a priori. Among the many geometric complexes available to us, the Vietoris{Rips complex (or simply `Rips complex') is particularly useful, being easy to compute and having good approximation arXiv:1207.3885v3 [math.AT] 15 Nov 2013 properties. We recall the definition. Let (X; dx) be a metric space and α a real parameter (the `scale'). Then Rips(X; α) is the simplical complex on X whose simplices are the finite subsets of X with diameter at most α: σ = [x0; x1; : : : ; xk] Rips(X; α) dX (xi; xj) α for all i; j 2 , ≤ ∗[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 1 When (X; dX ) is a closed Riemannian manifold, J.-C.

The cohomology algebra of FZ2 (S ,n), with integer coefficients, is here determined completely, and described in terms of generators, bases and relations.

  • Geometric Meaning of Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in a Real Space Form
    Canad. Math. Bull. Vol. 43 (1), 2000 pp. 74–78 Geometric Meaning of Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in a Real Space Form Makoto Kimura and Sadahiro Maeda Abstract. We shall provide a characterization of all isoparametric hypersurfaces M’s in a real space form M˜ (c) by observing the extrinsic shape of geodesics of M in the ambient manifold M˜ (c). 0 Introduction In differential geometry it is interesting to know the shape of a Riemannian submanifold by observing the extrinsic shape of geodesics of the submanifold. For example: A hypersurface Mn isometrically immersed into a real space form Mn+1(c)ofconstantcurvaturec (that is, Mn+1(c) = Rn+1, Sn+1(c)orHn+1(c) according as the curvature c is zero, positive, or negative) is totally umbilic in Mn+1(c) if and only if every geodesic of M,consideredasa curve in the ambient space Mn+1(c), is a circle. Here we recall the definition of circles in Riemannian geometry. A smooth curve γ : R −→ M in a complete Riemannian manifold M is called a circle of curvature κ( 0) if it is parametrized by its arclength s and it satisfies the following equation: 2 ∇γ˙ ∇γ˙ γ˙(s) = −κ γ˙(s), where κ is constant and ∇γ˙ denotes the covariant differentiation along γ with respect to the Riemannian connection ∇ of M.Since∇γ˙ γ˙ = κ,thisequationisequivalenttothe equation of geodesics, when κ = 0. So we treat a geodesic as a circle of null curvature. In general, a circle in a Riemannian manifold is not closed. Of course, any circles of positive curvature in Euclidean m-space Rm are closed.

    ORIENTED AREA IS A PERFECT MORSE FUNCTION GAIANE PANINA Abstract. We show that an appropriate generalization of the oriented area function is a perfect Morse function on the space of three-dimensional configurations of an equilateral polygonal linkage with odd number of edges. Therefore cyclic equilateral polygons (which appear as Morse points) are interpreted as independent generators of the homology groups of the (dec- orated) configuration space. 1. Introduction A Morse function on a smooth manifold is called perfect if the number of critical points equals the sum of Betti numbers. Not every manifold possesses a perfect Morse function. Homological spheres (that are not spheres) do not possess it; manifolds with torsions in homologies do not possess it, etc. On the other hand, the celebrated Millnor-Smale cancelation technique for critical points with neighbor indices (or, equivalently, cancelation of handles) provides a series of existence-type theorems [1, 5] which are the key tool in Smale’s proof of generalized Poincare conjecture [8]. In the paper we focus on one particular example of a perfect Morse function and discuss some related problems. Namely, we bound ourselves by the space of configuration of the equilateral polygonal linkage with odd number n =2k +1 of edges. As the ambient space it makes sense to take either R2 or R3, which gives us the spaces M2(n) and M3(n). In bigger dimension the configuration space is not a manifold. The number n is chosen to be odd by the same arXiv:1611.04265v1 [math.GT] 14 Nov 2016 reason: for even n, the configuration space of the equilateral polygonal linkage has singular points.

  • Thesis Persistence Stability for Metric Thickenings
    THESIS PERSISTENCE STABILITY FOR METRIC THICKENINGS Submitted by Michael Moy Department of Mathematics In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2021 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Henry Adams Emily King Asa Ben-Hur Copyright by Michael Moy 2021 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PERSISTENCE STABILITY FOR METRIC THICKENINGS Persistent homology often begins with a filtered simplicial complex, such as the Vietoris–Rips complex or the Cechˇ complex, the vertex set of which is a metric space. An important result, the stability of persistent homology, shows that for certain types of filtered simplicial complexes, two metric spaces that are close in the Gromov–Hausdorff distance result in persistence diagrams that are close in the bottleneck distance. The recent interest in persistent homology has motivated work to better understand the homotopy types and persistent homology of these commonly used simplicial complexes. This has led to the definition of metric thickenings, which agree with sim- plicial complexes for finite vertex sets but may have different topologies for infinite vertex sets. We prove Vietoris–Rips metric thickenings and Cechˇ metric thickenings have the same persistence diagrams as their corresponding simplicial complexes for all totally bounded metric spaces. This immediately implies the stability of persistent homology for these metric thickenings. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Henry Adams for his support and guidance. iii DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my family. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS . iii DEDICATION . iv Chapter 1 Introduction . 1 Chapter 2 Background . 5 2.1 Simplicial Complexes and Filtrations .

  • 21 TOPOLOGICAL METHODS in DISCRETE GEOMETRY Rade T
    21 TOPOLOGICAL METHODS IN DISCRETE GEOMETRY Rade T. Zivaljevi´cˇ INTRODUCTION A problem is solved or some other goal achieved by “topological methods” if in our arguments we appeal to the “form,” the “shape,” the “global” rather than “local” structure of the object or configuration space associated with the phenomenon we are interested in. This configuration space is typically a manifold or a simplicial complex. The global properties of the configuration space are usually expressed in terms of its homology and homotopy groups, which capture the idea of the higher (dis)connectivity of a geometric object and to some extent provide “an analysis properly geometric or linear that expresses location directly as algebra expresses magnitude.”1 Thesis: Any global effect that depends on the object as a whole and that cannot be localized is of homological nature, and should be amenable to topological methods. HOW IS TOPOLOGY APPLIED IN DISCRETE GEOMETRIC PROBLEMS? In this chapter we put some emphasis on the role of equivariant topological methods in solving combinatorial or discrete geometric problems that have proven to be of relevance for computational geometry and topological combinatorics and with some impact on computational mathematics in general. The versatile configuration space/test map scheme (CS/TM) was developed in numerous research papers over the years and formally codified in [Ziv98].ˇ Its essential features are summarized as follows: CS/TM-1: The problem is rephrased in topological terms. The problem should give us a clue how to define a “natural” configuration space X and how to rephrase the question in terms of zeros or coincidences of the associated test maps.

  • On Embedding Polyhedra and Manifolds
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 157, June 1971 ON EMBEDDING POLYHEDRA AND MANIFOLDS BY KRESO HORVATIC Abstract. It is well known that every «-polyhedron PL embeds in a Euclidean (2« + l)-space, and that for PL manifolds the result can be improved upon by one dimension. In the paper are given some sufficient conditions under which the dimen- sion of the ambient space can be decreased. The main theorem asserts that, for there to exist an embedding of the //-polyhedron A-into 2/z-space, it suffices that the integral cohomology group Hn(X— Int A) = 0 for some /¡-simplex A of a triangulation of X. A number of interesting corollaries follow from this theorem. Along the line of manifolds the known embedding results for PL manifolds are extended over a larger class containing various kinds of generalized manifolds, such as triangulated mani- folds, polyhedral homology manifolds, pseudomanifolds and manifolds with singular boundary. Finally, a notion of strong embeddability is introduced which allows us to prove that some class of //-manifolds can be embedded into a (2«—l)-dimensional ambient space. 1. Introduction. It was known early [14] that every «-dimensional polyhedron can be piecewise linearly embedded into a Euclidean space of dimension 2«+l, and that for piecewise linear manifolds this result can be improved upon by one dimension. On the other hand, there are counterexamples showing that these results are, in general, the best possible ([5], [6], [19]). So the natural problem arises as to characterizing those polyhedra and manifolds for which the dimension of the ambient space can be decreased.

    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 56, Number 2, April 2019, Pages 367–372 https://doi.org/10.1090/bull/1660 Article electronically published on December 12, 2018 Topics in hyperplane arrangements, by Marcelo Aguiar and Swapneel Mahajan, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, Vol. 226, American Mathematical So- ciety, Providence, RI, 2017, xxiv+611 pp., US$159.00, ISBN 978-1-4704-3711-4 1. Introduction Hyperplane arrangements provide a classic example of the deep interactions be- tween space and complexity. Like knots or convex polytopes, they are combinatorial objects that arise from geometry. Also they are quite enjoyable. In just a few mo- ments I can describe to a middle-schooler some of the open questions, and challenge her to try, with pencil and paper, to brute-force an answer to easy cases. A little later, I’d recommend the recent monograph from Aguiar and Mahajan. A hyperplane arrangement is exactly what it sounds like. Take a collection of distinct codimension-1 linear subspaces, or affine subspaces, of a real, complex, or projective ambient vector space, and arrange them in that ambient space in any way you like. In any of these six options, the hyperplanes will subdivide both the ambient space and, potentially, each other. We often label all the intersections and subdivisions; these are called the faces of the arrangement. Top-dimensional faces are the chambers, the regions of the subdivided ambient space. If there is a face C that is the intersection of all the hyperplanes, we call the arrangement central ;if that center face is a point, then the central arrangement is also essential.

  • Spacelike Hypersurfaces of Constant Mean Curvature in Spacetimes with Symmetries
    Spacelike Hypersurfaces of Constant Mean Curvature in Spacetimes with Symmetries Luis J. Al¶³as1, Alfonso Romero2 and Miguel Sanchez¶ 2 1 Departamento de Matem¶aticas, Universidad de Murcia, 30100-Espinardo, Murcia, Spain 2 Departamento de Geometr¶³ay Topolog¶³a,Universidad de Granada, 18071-Granada, Spain. Abstract The role of some symmetries in General Relativity is discussed, espe- cially those involving a timelike conformal vector ¯eld. The importance of spacelike hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in the study of the Einstein equation is explained. Uniqueness results of compact spacelike hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in spacetimes which admits a timelike conformal vector ¯eld are given by means of several integral formulas. As an application, several uniqueness consequences for the spacelike constant mean curvature di®erential equation are obtained. 1 Introduction Our purpose is to explain some uniqueness results of spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in certain ambient spacetimes; these hypersurfaces become relevant for the study of the Einstein equation. Our ambient space- times are not so restrictive as, for example, Lorentzian space forms, which have been widely studied from a purely mathematical point of view. Nevertheless, many of them contain some general symmetries such that the hypersurfaces can be seen as solutions to a partial di®erential equation. In the remainder of this section we explain the role of symmetries in General Relativity and de¯ne our ambient spacetimes; in Section 2 we see how spacelike hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature are useful to simplify Einstein equation; in Section 3 the associated di®erential equation and variational problem is introduced; in Section 4 we write some integral formulas which are our basic tool; in Section 5 the main results, essentially contained in [2], [3], [4], are explained.
