  • Morphogenesis of Curved Structural Envelopes Under Fabrication Constraints
    École doctorale Science, Ingénierie et Environnement Manuscrit préparé pour l’obtention du grade de docteur de l’Université Paris-Est Spécialité: Structures et Matériaux Morphogenesis of curved structural envelopes under fabrication constraints Xavier Tellier Soutenue le 26 mai 2020 Devant le jury composé de : Rapporteurs Helmut Pottmann TU Viennes / KAUST Christopher Williams Bath / Chalmers Universities Présidente du jury Florence Bertails-Descoubes INRIA Directeurs de thèse Olivier Baverel École des Ponts ParisTech Laurent Hauswirth UGE, LAMA laboratory Co-encadrant Cyril Douthe UGE, Navier laboratory 2 Abstract Curved structural envelopes combine mechanical efficiency, architectural potential and a wide design space to fulfill functional and environment goals. The main barrier to their use is that curvature complicates manufacturing, assembly and design, such that cost and construction time are usually significantly higher than for parallelepipedic structures. Significant progress has been made recently in the field of architectural geometry to tackle this issue, but many challenges remain. In particular, the following problem is recurrent in a designer’s perspective: Given a constructive system, what are the possible curved shapes, and how to create them in an intuitive fashion? This thesis presents a panorama of morphogenesis (namely, shape creation) methods for architectural envelopes. It then introduces four new methods to generate the geometry of curved surfaces for which the manufacturing can be simplified in multiple ways. Most common structural typologies are considered: gridshells, plated shells, membranes and funicular vaults. A particular attention is devoted to how the shape is controlled, such that the methods can be used intuitively by architects and engineers. Two of the proposed methods also allow to design novel structural systems, while the two others combine fabrication properties with inherent mechanical efficiency.

  • Surfaces of General Type with Geometric Genus Zero: a Survey 3
    Surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero: a survey Ingrid Bauer, Fabrizio Catanese and Roberto Pignatelli∗ Abstract In the last years there have been several new constructions of surfaces of general type with pg = 0, and important progress on their classification. The present paper presents the status of the art on surfaces of general type with pg = 0, and gives an updated list of the existing surfaces, in the case where K2 = 1,...,7. It also focuses on certain important aspects of this classification. Key words: Surfaces of general type with genus 0. Godeaux surfaces. Campedelli surfaces. Burniat surfaces. Bloch conjecture. Actions of finite groups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14J29, 14J10, 14H30, 14J80, 20F05. Introduction It is nowadays well known that minimal surfaces of general type with pg(S)= 0 2 have invariants pg(S)= q(S)= 0,1 ≤ KS ≤ 9, hence they yield a finite number of irreducible components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type.

  • On Projective Surfaces Arising from an Adjunction Process Us to Determine All the Pairs
    Japan. J. Math. Vol. 17, No.2, 1991 On projective surfaces arising from an adjunction process By M. ANDREATTA and A. LANTERI (Received May 21, 1990) Introduction We will consider the set S={(S, L)|S is a smooth projective surface and L E Pic(S) is very ample}. An adjunction process on the pair (S, L) in S is the construction of a new pair (S, H) in the following way: first contract all the -1 rational curves C on S with L•EC=1 in a new surface S, it: SS (this is called reduction); then consider on S the line bundle H=KS®L, where L=rr*L. The pair (S, L) is called the reduction of (S, L). If (S, L) is not in a particular subset E of S then (S, H) is again in S; this theorem, with a complete description of the pairs in E, is proved in [SV] and in [Se1] (see also [Io2]). Therefore there is a map RA: S-ES (where RA stands for reduction + adjunction) which associates to a pair (S, L) the pair (S, H)=(S, KS ® L). The map RA is not a surjection: since L is ample, by the Kodaira vanishing theorem, if (S, H) E ImRA, it must be that hi(H)=0, for i=1, 2. The natural question is then to characterize the pairs in S which are in the image of RA. In this paper we consider some particular subsets of S and we determine which pairs in these subsets are "adjunction pairs" in the above sense.

  • Vanishing Mean Curvature and Related Properties
    VANISHING MEAN CURVATURE AND RELATED PROPERTIES PAUL ANTONACCI 1. Introduction The project deals with surfaces that have vanishing mean curvature. A surface with vanishing mean curvature possesses interesting properties as well as an inter- esting relationship to the area of the surface. With the help of calculus, differential geometry, and the involvement of complex numbers, these relationships can be de- scribed accurately. Using these relationships, conditions can be found to generate surfaces with vanishing mean curvature. 2. Mean Curvature The surfaces in the project possess vanishing mean curvature. In order to discuss the mean curvature of a surface, some restrictions need to be made on the surfaces being used. Definition 2.1. [DoC76] A subset S ⊂ R3 is a regular surface if, for each p 2 S, there exists a neighborhood V in R3 and a map x : U ! V \S of an open set U ⊂ R2 onto V \ S ⊂ R3 such that (1) x is differentiable. (2) x is continuous, one-to-one, onto, and has a continuous inverse. 2 3 (3) For each q 2 U, the differential dxq : R ! R is one to one, where 0 @x @x 1 @u @v @y @y dxq = @ @u @v A : @z @z @u @v The restriction to regular surfaces allows the derivatives at a point on the surface to be taken. Since the differential is one to one at all points, the tangent plane spanned by the tangent vectors xu and xv at a point p, exists at every point on the surface. The tangent plane at a point is also written Tp(S).

Our starting point are results contained in Fujimoto (Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 38(1):33–92, 2005) and Nakayama (Kyushu J. Math. 56(2):433–446, 2002), they provide a list of surfaces that admit at least one nontrivial self-map. By a case by case analysis that blends geometrical and arithmetical arguments, we then exclude that certain prime numbers appear as degrees of nontrivial self-maps of certain surfaces.

  • Topology and Geometry of Surfaces
    CHAPTER 5 TOPOLOGY AND GEOMETRY OF SURFACES Compact (and some noncompact) surfaces are a favorite showcase for various branches of topology and geometry. They are two-dimensional topological mani- folds, which can be supplied with a variety of naturally defined differentiable and Riemannian structures. Their complete topological classification, which coincides with their smooth (differentiable) classification, is obtained via certain simple in- variants. These invariants allow a variety of interpretations: combinatorial, analyt- ical and geometrical. Surfaces are also one-dimensional complex manifolds; but, surprisingly, the complex stuctures are not all equivalent (except for the case of the sphere), although they can be classified. This classification if the first result in a rather deep area at the junction of analysis, geometry, and algebraic geometry known as Teichmuller¨ theory, which recently has led to spectacular applications in theoretical physics. In this chapter we study the classification of compact surfaces (two-dimen- sional manifolds) from various points of view. We start with a fundamental prepara- tory result, which we will prove by using a beautiful argument based on combina- torial considerations. 5.1. Two big separation theorems: Jordan and Schoenflies The goal of this section is to prove the famous Jordan Curve Theorem, which we will need in the next section, and which is constantly used in many areas of analysis and topology. Note that although the statement of the theorem seems absolutely obvious, it does not have a simple proof. 5.1.1. Statement of the theorem and strategy of proof. Here we state the theorem and outline the main steps of the proof.

  • Dynamics of Automorphisms of Compact Complex Surfaces
    DYNAMICS OF AUTOMORPHISMS OF COMPACT COMPLEX SURFACES SERGE CANTAT ABSTRACT. Recent results concerning the dynamics of holomorphic dif- feomorphisms of compact complex surfaces are described, that require a nice interplay between algebraic geometry, complex analysis, and dynami- cal systems. RÉSUMÉ. Nous décrivons quelques résultats récents concernant la dynamique des difféomorphismes holomorphes des surfaces complexes compactes. Ceci nécessite des outils de géométrie algébrique, d’analyse complexe et de sys- tèmes dynamiques. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Automorphisms. 1.1.1. Automorphisms. Let M be a compact complex manifold. By defini- tion, holomorphic diffeomorphisms f : M ! M are called automorphisms; they form a group, the group Aut(M) of automorphisms of M. Endowed with the topology of uniform convergence, Aut(M) is a topological group and a theorem due to Bochner and Montgomery shows that this topological group is a complex Lie group, whose Lie algebra is the algebra of holomorphic vector fields on M (see [21]). The connected component of the identity in Aut(M) is denoted by Aut(M)0, and the group of connected components of Aut(M) is Aut(M)] = Aut(M)=Aut(M)0: 1.1.2. Curves. If M = P1(C) then Aut(M) is the group of linear projective transformations PGL 2(C). In particular, Aut(M) is connected, and the dy- namics of all elements f 2 Aut(M) is easily described. (However, the the- ory of Kleinian groups shows the richness of the dynamics of subgroups of Aut(P1(C))). If M = C=L is an elliptic curve, the connected component of the identity Aut(M)0 coincides with the abelian group C=L, acting by translations.

  • The Poincaré Conjecture and the Shape of the Universe
    The Poincar´econjecture and the shape of the universe Pascal Lambrechts U.C.L. (Belgium) [email protected] Wellesley College March 2009 Poincar´econjecture: A century in two minutes Henri Poincar´e(1854-1912). He invented algebraic topology. It is a theory for distinguishing “shapes” of geometric objects through algebraic computations. 1904: Poincar´easks whether algebraic topology is powefull enough to characterize the shape of the 3-dimensional “hypersphere”. 2002: Grigori Perelman (1966- ) proves that the answer to Poincar´e’s question is YES (⇒ Fields medal.) Theorem (Perelman, 2002) Any closed manifold of dimension 3 whose fundamental group is trivial is homeomorphic to the hypersphere S3. What is the shape of the universe ? Poincar´econjecture is related to the following problem: What ”shape” can a three-dimensional “space” have ? For example: what is the “shape” of the universe in which we live ? The earth is locally flat but it is not an infinite plane. The earth has no boundary, so it is not a flat disk. The earth is a sphere: A finite surface which has no boundary. There is no reason why our universe should have the shape of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The universe could be finite without boundary. 1 equation with 2 unknowns =⇒ a curve y = x − 1 y = x2 + x − 2 S is a line S is a parabola x2 + y 2 = 1 xy = 1 S is a circle S is a hyperbola 1 equation with 3 unkowns =⇒ a surface z = 0 x2 + y 2 + z2 = 1 S is an infinite plane S is a sphere x2 + z2 = 1 (8+x2 +y 2 +z2)2 = 36(x2 +y 2) S is an infinite cylinder S is a torus 2 equations with 3 unknowns =⇒ a curve x2 + y 2 + z2 = 1 z = 0 The set of solutions S is a circle.
