Wolf 257 Preface Geometric analysis on Euclidean and homogeneous spaces encompasses parts of representation theory, integral geometry, harmonic analysis, microlocal analysis, and partial differential equations. It is used in a wide array of applications in fields as diverse as inverse problems, tomography, and signal and data analysis. This volume provides articles giving historical perspectives, overviews of current research in these interrelated areas, and new results. We hope this motivates beginning researchers in these fields, and we wish that readers will be left with a good sense of important past work as well as current research in these exciting and active fields of mathematics. One theme of the volume is the geometric analysis motivated by the work of Sigurdur Helgason. An historical perspective is provided in the first article by Prof. Helgason himself and in the second article by Profs. Olafsson´ and Stanton. This emphasis is natural, since the volume is based, in part, on the AMS Special Session on Radon Transforms and Geometric Analysis in honor of Sigurdur Helgason’s 85th birthday held in Boston during the 2012 AMS Annual Meeting. Research papers related to this viewpoint, in particular, on Radon transforms and related mathematics are presented by Bernstein & Pesenson, Kakehi, Madych, Olafsson,´ Pasquale & Rubin, Rouvi`ere, Rubin, and others. The workshop on Geometric analysis on Euclidean and homogeneous spaces, held at Tufts University immediately following the AMS annual meeting, sought to expand on the topics presented at the special session. It was broader in scope, as evidenced by the contributions to this volume. Among contributions in pure mathematics are articles on representation the- ory and equivariant differential operators (Kobayashi and Oda & Oshima), Pen- rose transforms (Eastwood and Sekiguchi), wavelets related to symmetric cones (Christensen), representation theory and inductive limits of Lie groups (Wolf), and noncommutative harmonic analysis (Andersen & Flensted-Jensen). The interplay between integral geometry and applications is explored in the more applied articles. These include developing an elliptical Radon transform for ultrasound (Ambartsoumian, Boman, Krishnan & Quinto), using Schiffer’s conjec- ture to understand partial cloaking (Liu), and Radon transforms in crystallography (Bernstein & Pesenson) and thermoacoustic tomography (Madych). We thank the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Tufts University Dean’s Discretionary Fund for their support of the Tufts workshop. We are grateful to Tufts University Staff Assistant Megan Monaghan for the work she did behind the scenes to make the workshop successful. ix xPREFACE We thank the American Mathematical Society for its support of the Special Session honoring Sigurdur Helgason, and finally, we are indebted to Christine M. Thivierge, Associate Editor for Proceedings, for her indispensable role in making these proceedings a success.

  • Geometric Analysis of Shapes and Its Application to Medical Image Analysis
    Geometric Analysis of Shapes and Its application to Medical Image Analysis by Anirban Mukhopadhyay (Under the DIRECTION of Suchendra M. Bhandarkar) Abstract Geometric analysis of shapes plays an important role in the way the visual world is per- ceived by modern computers. To this end, low-level geometric features provide most obvious and important cues towards understanding the visual scene. A novel intrinsic geometric sur- face descriptor, termed as the Geodesic Field Estimate (GFE) is proposed. Also proposed is a parallel algorithm, well suited for implementation on Graphics Processing Units, for efficient computation of the shortest geodesic paths. Another low level geometric descriptor, termed as the Biharmonic Density Estimate, is proposed to provide an intrinsic geometric scale space signature for multiscale surface feature-based representation of deformable 3D shapes. The computer vision and graphics communities rely on mid-level geometric understanding as well to analyze a scene. Symmetry detection and partial shape matching play an important role as mid-level cues. A comprehensive framework for detection and characterization of partial intrinsic symmetry over 3D shapes is proposed. To identify prominent overlapping symmetric regions, the proposed framework is decoupled into Correspondence Space Voting followed by Transformation Space Mapping procedure. Moreover, a novel multi-criteria optimization framework for matching of partially visible shapes in multiple images using joint geometric embedding is also proposed. The ultimate goal of geometric shape analysis is to resolve high level applications of modern world. This dissertation has focused on three different application scenarios. In the first scenario, a novel approach for the analysis of the non-rigid Left Ventricular (LV) endocardial surface from Multi-Detector CT images, using a generalized isometry-invariant Bag-of-Features (BoF) descriptor, is proposed and implemented.

  • Perspectives on Geometric Analysis
    Surveys in Differential Geometry X Perspectives on geometric analysis Shing-Tung Yau This essay grew from a talk I gave on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the Chinese Mathematical Society. I dedicate the lecture to the memory of my teacher S.S. Chern who had passed away half a year before (December 2004). During my graduate studies, I was rather free in picking research topics. I[731] worked on fundamental groups of manifolds with non-positive curva- ture. But in the second year of my studies, I started to look into differential equations on manifolds. However, at that time, Chern was very much inter- ested in the work of Bott on holomorphic vector fields. Also he told me that I should work on Riemann hypothesis. (Weil had told him that it was time for the hypothesis to be settled.) While Chern did not express his opinions about my research on geometric analysis, he started to appreciate it a few years later. In fact, after Chern gave a course on Calabi’s works on affine geometry in 1972 at Berkeley, S.Y. Cheng told me about these inspiring lec- tures. By 1973, Cheng and I started to work on some problems mentioned in Chern’s lectures. We did not realize that the great geometers Pogorelov, Calabi and Nirenberg were also working on them. We were excited that we solved some of the conjectures of Calabi on improper affine spheres. But soon after we found out that Pogorelov [563] published his results right be- fore us by different arguments. Nevertheless our ideas are useful in handling other problems in affine geometry, and my knowledge about Monge-Amp`ere equations started to broaden in these years.

Nc ! ¥, and explore the statistical nature of the topological susceptibility by analyzing its critical behavior at a non-zero-vacuum parameter q and temperature T. We find that the system undergoes a vacuum phase transition at the chiral symmetry restoration temperature as well as at an absolute value of q. On the other hand, the long-range correlation length solely depends on q for the theories with critical exponent e = 2 or T = Td + 1, where Td is the decoherence temperature. Furthermore, it is worth noticing that the unit-critical exponent vacuum configuration corresponds to a non-interacting statistical basis pertaining to a constant mass of h0. Keywords: thermodynamic geometry; fluctuation theory; phase transitions; topological susceptibility; QCD; large N gauge theory 1. Introduction Quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD) as a Yang–Mills (YM) gauge theory has opened interesting avenues in understanding strong nuclear processes and decay reactions [1–3]. Therefore, the stability of nuclear particles, viz. the determination of the lifetime of a particle or decay rate of a given nuclear reaction is one of the most interesting research issues since the proposition of modern gauge field theory [4].

  • GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS of the DYNAMICS of a DOUBLE PENDULUM Jan Awrejcewicz and Dariusz Sendkowski
    Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF A DOUBLE PENDULUM Jan Awrejcewicz and Dariusz Sendkowski Volume 2, Nº 8 October 2007 mathematical sciences publishers JOURNAL OF MECHANICS OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES Vol. 2, No. 8, 2007 GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF A DOUBLE PENDULUM JAN AWREJCEWICZ AND DARIUSZ SENDKOWSKI In this paper we make use of Riemannian geometry to analyze the dynamics of a simple low dimensional system with constraints, namely a double physical pendulum. The dynamics are analyzed by means of the Jacobi–Levi–Civita equation and its solutions. We show that this geometrical approach is in qualitative agreement with the classical techniques devoted to the study of dynamical systems. 1. Introduction The classical approach to analysis of Hamiltonian systems has been widely applied, providing a classical explanation of the onset of chaos in these systems. In addition to the classical techniques for analyz- ing Hamiltonian systems, the geometric approach plays an important role. The geometric approach is based on the relation between Riemannian geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics, but is distinct from the geometric formulation of Hamiltonian mechanics in terms of symplectic geometry. This technique has been successfully applied [Cerruti-Sola and Pettini 1995; 1996, Casetti et al. 1996; Di Bari and Cipriani 1998; Casetti et al. 2000], especially to systems with many degrees of freedom. It has also been widely applied in general relativity [Szydłowski 2000] and to low dynamical systems with a nondiagonal metric tensor [Awrejcewicz et al. 2006]. It is believed that the geometric approach can provide an alternative to the classical explanation for the onset of chaos in Hamiltonian systems, which involves the homoclinic intersections [Lichtenberg and Lieberman 1992].
