Euler Characteristics of Moduli Spaces of Curves

2005

Let ${mathcal M}_g^n$ be the moduli space of n-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g. Denote by ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of ${mathcal M}_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ for any g and n such that n>2-2g.

Espace de Minkowski-Lorentz et des sphères : un état de l'art

2016

International audience; Dans cet article, nous faisons une présentation de l'espace de Minkowski-Lorentz généralisant, à Ê 5 l'espace utilisé dans la théorie de la relativité. Cet espace de dimension 5 contient un paraboloïde de dimension 3 et isométrique à l'espace affine euclidien usuel E 3 , l'ensembles des sphères et plans orientés de E 3 regroupés sur une pseudo-sphère unité de dimension 4. Une premier avantage de cet espace est l'écriture intuitive d'une sphère qui est caractérisée par un point, un vecteur normal en ce point et une courbure. Un deuxième avantage est la manipulation de surfaces canal qui sont représentées par des courbes. Un troisième avantage concernant la simplificat…

Toward the Development of Load Transfer Efficiency Evaluation of Rigid Pavements by a Rolling Wheel Deflectometer

2020

The jointed rigid pavement is currently evaluated by the Falling weight deflectometer which is rather slow for the testing of the jointed pavements. Continuous nondestructive evaluation of rigid pavements with a rolling wheel deflectometer can be used to measure the load transfer and is investigated. Load transfer is an important indicator of the rigid pavement&rsquo

A Curvature Based Method for Blind Mesh Visual Quality Assessment Using a General Regression Neural Network

2016

International audience; No-reference quality assessment is a challenging issue due to the non-existence of any information related to the reference and the unknown distortion type. The main goal is to design a computational method to objectively predict the human perceived quality of a distorted mesh and deal with the practical situation when the reference is not available. In this work, we design a no reference method that relies on the general regression neural network (GRNN). Our network is trained using the mean curvature which is an important perceptual feature representing the visual aspect of a 3D mesh. Relatively to the human subjective scores, the trained network successfully asses…

Canal foliations of S 3

2012

The goal of the article is to classify foliations of S3 by regular canal surfaces, that is envelopes of one-parameter families of spheres which are immersed surfaces. We will add some extra information when the leaves are “surfaces of revolution” in a conformal sense.

Quasiconformal geometry and removable sets for conformal mappings

2020

We study metric spaces defined via a conformal weight, or more generally a measurable Finsler structure, on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ that vanishes on a compact set $E \subset \Omega$ and satisfies mild assumptions. Our main question is to determine when such a space is quasiconformally equivalent to a planar domain. We give a characterization in terms of the notion of planar sets that are removable for conformal mappings. We also study the question of when a quasiconformal mapping can be factored as a 1-quasiconformal mapping precomposed with a bi-Lipschitz map.

Quasisymmetric extension on the real line

2015

We give a geometric characterization of the sets $E\subset \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the following property: every quasisymmetric embedding $f: E \to \mathbb{R}^n$ extends to a quasisymmetric embedding $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N\geq n$.

A note on some fundamental results in complete gauge spaces and application

2015

We discuss the extension of some fundamental results in nonlinear analysis to the setting of gauge spaces. In particular, we establish Ekeland type and Caristi type results under suitable hypotheses for mappings and cyclic mappings. Our theorems generalize and complement some analogous results in the literature, also in the sense of ordered sets and oriented graphs. We apply our results to establishing the existence of solution to a second order nonlinear initial value problem.
