  • The Floating Body in Real Space Forms
    THE FLOATING BODY IN REAL SPACE FORMS Florian Besau & Elisabeth M. Werner Abstract We carry out a systematic investigation on floating bodies in real space forms. A new unifying approach not only allows us to treat the important classical case of Euclidean space as well as the recent extension to the Euclidean unit sphere, but also the new extension of floating bodies to hyperbolic space. Our main result establishes a relation between the derivative of the volume of the floating body and a certain surface area measure, which we called the floating area. In the Euclidean setting the floating area coincides with the well known affine surface area, a powerful tool in the affine geometry of convex bodies. 1. Introduction Two important closely related notions in affine convex geometry are the floating body and the affine surface area of a convex body. The floating body of a convex body is obtained by cutting off caps of volume less or equal to a fixed positive constant δ. Taking the right-derivative of the volume of the floating body gives rise to the affine surface area. This was established for all convex bodies in all dimensions by Schütt and Werner in [62]. The affine surface area was introduced by Blaschke in 1923 [8]. Due to its important properties, which make it an effective and powerful tool, it is omnipresent in geometry. The affine surface area and its generalizations in the rapidly developing Lp and Orlicz Brunn–Minkowski theory are the focus of intensive investigations (see e.g. [14,18, 20,21, 45, 46,65, 67,68, 70,71]).

  • Matrices for Fenchel–Nielsen Coordinates
    Annales Academi½ Scientiarum Fennic½ Mathematica Volumen 26, 2001, 267{304 MATRICES FOR FENCHEL{NIELSEN COORDINATES Bernard Maskit The University at Stony Brook, Mathematics Department Stony Brook NY 11794-3651, U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract. We give an explicit construction of matrix generators for ¯nitely generated Fuch- sian groups, in terms of appropriately de¯ned Fenchel{Nielsen (F-N) coordinates. The F-N coordi- nates are de¯ned in terms of an F-N system on the underlying orbifold; this is an ordered maximal set of simple disjoint closed geodesics, together with an ordering of the set of complementary pairs of pants. The F-N coordinate point consists of the hyperbolic sines of both the lengths of these geodesics, and the lengths of arc de¯ning the twists about them. The mapping from these F-N coordinates to the appropriate representation space is smooth and algebraic. We also show that the matrix generators are canonically de¯ned, up to conjugation, by the F-N coordinates. As a corol- lary, we obtain that the TeichmullerÄ modular group acts as a group of algebraic di®eomorphisms on this Fenchel{Nielsen embedding of the TeichmullerÄ space. 1. Introduction There are several di®erent ways to describe a closed Riemann surface of genus at least 2; these include its representation as an algebraic curve; its representation as a period matrix; its representation as a Fuchsian group; its representation as a hyperbolic manifold, in particular, using Fenchel{Nielsen (F-N) coordinates; its representation as a Schottky group; etc. One of the major problems in the overall theory is that of connecting these di®erent visions.

One harmoriic oscillator system is fully regularized and hence valid for all orbits including the rectilinear class up to and including periapsis passage, The other system is fdly as general except that the solution becomes unbounded at periapsis pas- sage of rectilinear orbits. The natural frequencies of the oscillator systems are related to certain Keplerian orbit scalar constants, while the independent variables are related to well-known orbit angular measurements, or anomalies.

My topics of interest ranged over a fairly wide variety of subjects. I started with the study of automorphic forms from an analytic point of view by applying spectral methods to the Laplace operator on Riemann hyperbolic surfaces. I finished with a focus on modular knots and their linking numbers and how the latter are related to the theory of well-known analytic functions. My research took many more directions, and I would rather avoid stretching the extensive list of applications, papers and books that attracted my attention.

  • Hilbert Geometry of the Siegel Disk: the Siegel-Klein Disk Model
    Hilbert geometry of the Siegel disk: The Siegel-Klein disk model Frank Nielsen Sony Computer Science Laboratories Inc, Tokyo, Japan Abstract We study the Hilbert geometry induced by the Siegel disk domain, an open bounded convex set of complex square matrices of operator norm strictly less than one. This Hilbert geometry yields a generalization of the Klein disk model of hyperbolic geometry, henceforth called the Siegel-Klein disk model to differentiate it with the classical Siegel upper plane and disk domains. In the Siegel-Klein disk, geodesics are by construction always unique and Euclidean straight, allowing one to design efficient geometric algorithms and data-structures from computational geometry. For example, we show how to approximate the smallest enclosing ball of a set of complex square matrices in the Siegel disk domains: We compare two generalizations of the iterative core-set algorithm of Badoiu and Clarkson (BC) in the Siegel-Poincar´edisk and in the Siegel-Klein disk: We demonstrate that geometric computing in the Siegel-Klein disk allows one (i) to bypass the time-costly recentering operations to the disk origin required at each iteration of the BC algorithm in the Siegel-Poincar´edisk model, and (ii) to approximate fast and numerically the Siegel-Klein distance with guaranteed lower and upper bounds derived from nested Hilbert geometries. Keywords: Hyperbolic geometry; symmetric positive-definite matrix manifold; symplectic group; Siegel upper space domain; Siegel disk domain; Hilbert geometry; Bruhat-Tits space; smallest enclosing ball. 1 Introduction German mathematician Carl Ludwig Siegel [106] (1896-1981) and Chinese mathematician Loo-Keng Hua [52] (1910-1985) have introduced independently the symplectic geometry in the 1940's (with a preliminary work of Siegel [105] released in German in 1939).

  • Travelling Randomly on the Poincar\'E Half-Plane with a Pythagorean Compass
    Travelling Randomly on the Poincar´e Half-Plane with a Pythagorean Compass July 29, 2021 V. Cammarota E. Orsingher 1 Dipartimento di Statistica, Probabilit`ae Statistiche applicate University of Rome `La Sapienza' P.le Aldo Moro 5, 00185 Rome, Italy Abstract A random motion on the Poincar´ehalf-plane is studied. A particle runs on the geodesic lines changing direction at Poisson-paced times. The hyperbolic distance is analyzed, also in the case where returns to the starting point are admitted. The main results concern the mean hyper- bolic distance (and also the conditional mean distance) in all versions of the motion envisaged. Also an analogous motion on orthogonal circles of the sphere is examined and the evolution of the mean distance from the starting point is investigated. Keywords: Random motions, Poisson process, telegraph process, hyperbolic and spherical trigonometry, Carnot and Pythagorean hyperbolic formulas, Cardano for- mula, hyperbolic functions. AMS Classification 60K99 1 Introduction Motions on hyperbolic spaces have been studied since the end of the Fifties and most of the papers devoted to them deal with the so-called hyperbolic Brownian motion (see, e.g., Gertsenshtein and Vasiliev [4], Gruet [5], Monthus arXiv:1107.4914v1 [math.PR] 25 Jul 2011 and Texier [9], Lao and Orsingher [7]). More recently also works concerning two-dimensional random motions at finite velocity on planar hyperbolic spaces have been introduced and analyzed (Orsingher and De Gregorio [11]). While in [11] the components of motion are supposed to be independent, we present here a planar random motion with interacting components. Its coun- terpart on the unit sphere is also examined and discussed.

  • Life in the Rindler Reference Frame: Does an Uniformly Accelerated Charge Radiates? Is There a Bell ‘Paradox’? Is Unruh Effect Real?
    Life in the Rindler Reference Frame: Does an Uniformly Accelerated Charge Radiates? Is there a Bell `Paradox'? Is Unruh Effect Real? Waldyr A. Rodrigues Jr.1 and Jayme Vaz Jr.2 Departamento de Matem´aticaAplicada - IMECC Universidade Estadual de Campinas 13083-859 Campinas, SP, Brazil Abstract The determination of the electromagnetic field generated by a charge in hyperbolic motion is a classical problem for which the majority view is that the Li´enard-Wiechert solution which implies that the charge radi- ates) is the correct one. However we analyze in this paper a less known solution due to Turakulov that differs from the Li´enard-Wiechert one and which according to him does not radiate. We prove his conclusion to be wrong. We analyze the implications of both solutions concerning the validity of the Equivalence Principle. We analyze also two other is- sues related to hyperbolic motion, the so-called Bell's \paradox" which is as yet source of misunderstandings and the Unruh effect, which accord- ing to its standard derivation in the majority of the texts, is a correct prediction of quantum field theory. We recall that the standard deriva- tion of the Unruh effect does not resist any tentative of any rigorous mathematical investigation, in particular the one based in the algebraic approach to field theory which we also recall. These results make us to align with some researchers that also conclude that the Unruh effect does not exist. Contents 1. Introduction 2 2. Rindler Reference Frame 4 2.1.

  • Observations of Disintegrating Long-Period Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) – a Sibling of C/1844 Y1 (Great Comet)
    Draft version June 17, 2020 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Observations of Disintegrating Long-Period Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) { A Sibling of C/1844 Y1 (Great Comet) Man-To Hui (1文韜)1 and Quan-Zhi Ye (I泉志)2 1Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawai`i, 2680 Woodlawn Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA 2Department of Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA (Received 2020; Revised June 17, 2020; Accepted 2020) ABSTRACT We present a study of C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) using Sloan gri observations from mid-January to early April 2020. During this timespan, the comet brightened with a growth in the effective cross-section of (2:0 ± 0:1) × 102 m2 s−1 from the beginning to ∼70 d preperihelion in late March 2020, followed by a brightness fade and the comet gradually losing the central condensation. Meanwhile, the comet became progressively bluer, and was even bluer than the Sun (g − r ≈ 0:2) when the brightness peaked, likely due to activation of subterranean fresh volatiles exposed to sunlight. With the tailward-bias corrected −7 astrometry we found an enormous radial nongravitational parameter, A1 = (+2:25 ± 0:13) × 10 au d−2 in the heliocentric motion of the comet. Taking all of these finds into consideration, we conclude that the comet has disintegrated since mid-March 2020. By no means was the split new to the comet, as we quantified that the comet had undergone another split event around last perihelion ∼5 kyr ago, during which its sibling C/1844 Y1 (Great Comet) was produced, with the in-plane component of the −1 separation velocity &1 m s .

  • 8 Surfaces Invariant by One-Parameter Group of Hyperbolic Isometries Having Constant Mean Curvature in ˜ PSL2(R,Τ)
    8 Surfaces invariant by one-parameter group of hyperbolic isometries having constant mean curvature in PSL2(R,τ) g On (3) Ricardo Sa Earp gave explicit formulas for parabolic and hyper- bolic screw motions surfaces immersed in H2 R. There, they gave several × examples. In this chapter we only consider surfaces invariant by one-parameter group of hyperbolic isometries having constant mean curvature immersed in P] SL (R, τ). Since for τ 0 we are in H2 R then we have generalized the result 2 ≡ × obtained by Ricardo Sa Earp when the surface is invariant by one-parameter group of hyperbolic isometries having constant mean curvature. In this chapter we focus our attention on surfaces invariant by one- parameter group of hyperbolic isometries. To study this kind of surfaces, we take M 2 = H2 that is the half plane model for the hyperbolic space. Thus, the metric of M 2 is given by: 1 dσ2 = λ2(dx2 + dy2), λ = . y From Proposition 5.1.1, we know that to obtain a hyperbolic motion on ] P SL2(R, τ), it is necessary consider a hyperbolic motion (hyperbolic isometry) on H2. 8.1 Surfaces invariant by one-parameter group of hyperbolic isometries main lemma The idea to obtain a surface invariant by one-parameter group of hyper- bolic isometries is simple, we will take a curve in the xt plane and we will apply ] one-parameter group Γ of hyperbolic isometries on P SL2(R, τ). We denote by α(x)=(x, 1,u(x)) the curve in the xt plane and by S = Γ(α), the surface invariant by one-parameter group of hyperbolic isometries generate by α.
