Non-immersion theorem for a class of hyperbolic manifolds
1998
Abstract It is proved that a non-simply-connected complete hyperbolic manifold cannot be isometrically immersed in a Euclidean space with a flat normal connection. In particular, the complete hyperbolic manifold M n with π 1 ( M ) ≠ 0 cannot be isometrically immersed in R 2 n − 1 .
Singularities of lightlike hypersurfaces in Minkowski four-space
2006
We classify singularities of lightlike hypersurfaces in Minkowski 4-space via the contact invariants for the corresponding spacelike surfaces and lightcones.
Tangent lines and Lipschitz differentiability spaces
2015
We study the existence of tangent lines, i.e. subsets of the tangent space isometric to the real line, in tangent spaces of metric spaces. We first revisit the almost everywhere metric differentiability of Lipschitz continuous curves. We then show that any blow-up done at a point of metric differentiability and of density one for the domain of the curve gives a tangent line. Metric differentiability enjoys a Borel measurability property and this will permit us to use it in the framework of Lipschitz differentiability spaces. We show that any tangent space of a Lipschitz differentiability space contains at least $n$ distinct tangent lines, obtained as the blow-up of $n$ Lipschitz curves, whe…
On stability of logarithmic tangent sheaves. Symmetric and generic determinants
2021
We prove stability of logarithmic tangent sheaves of singular hypersurfaces D of the projective space with constraints on the dimension and degree of the singularities of D. As main application, we prove that determinants and symmetric determinants have stable logarithmic tangent sheaves and we describe an open dense piece of the associated moduli space.
Feuilletages Riemanniens singuliers
2006
Abstract We prove that a singular foliation on a compact manifold admitting an adapted Riemannian metric for which all leaves are minimal must be regular. To cite this article: V. Miquel, R.A. Wolak, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 342 (2006).
The structure of Fedosov supermanifolds
2009
Abstract Given a supermanifold ( M , A ) which carries a supersymplectic form ω , we study the Fedosov structures that can be defined on it, through a set of tensor fields associated to any symplectic connection ∇ . We give explicit recursive expressions for the resulting curvature and study the particular case of a base manifold M with constant holomorphic sectional curvature.
Supermanifolds, Symplectic Geometry and Curvature
2016
We present a survey of some results and questions related to the notion of scalar curvature in the setting of symplectic supermanifolds.
La topologie à l'infini des variétés à géométrie bornée et croissance linéaire
1997
Abstract We study the topology at infinity of a non compact riemannian manifold with bounded geometry and linear growth-type.
Flat lightlike hypersurfaces in Lorentz–Minkowski 4-space
2009
Abstract The lightlike hypersurfaces in Lorentz–Minkowski space are of special interest in Relativity Theory. In particular, the singularities of these hypersurfaces provide good models for the study of different horizon types. We introduce the notion of flatness for these hypersurfaces and study their singularities. The classification result asserts that a generic classification of flat lightlike hypersurfaces is quite different from that of generic lightlike hypersurfaces.
The horospherical Gauss-Bonnet type theorem in hyperbolic space
2006
We introduce the notion horospherical curvatures of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and show that totally umbilic hypersurfaces with vanishing cur- vatures are only horospheres. We also show that the Gauss-Bonnet type theorem holds for the horospherical Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a closed orientable even dimensional hypersurface in hyperbolic space. + (i1) by using the model in Minkowski space. We introduced the notion of hyperbolic Gauss indicatrices slightly modified the definition of hyperbolic Gauss maps. The notion of hyperbolic indicatrices is independent of the choice of the model of hyperbolic space. Using the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix, we defined the principal hyperbolic curv…
