The Light Ray transform in Stationary and Static Lorentzian geometries
2019
Given a Lorentzian manifold, the light ray transform of a function is its integrals along null geodesics. This paper is concerned with the injectivity of the light ray transform on functions and tensors, up to the natural gauge for the problem. First, we study the injectivity of the light ray transform of a scalar function on a globally hyperbolic stationary Lorentzian manifold and prove injectivity holds if either a convex foliation condition is satisfied on a Cauchy surface on the manifold or the manifold is real analytic and null geodesics do not have cut points. Next, we consider the light ray transform on tensor fields of arbitrary rank in the more restrictive class of static Lorentzia…
Geodesic X-ray tomography for piecewise constant functions on nontrapping manifolds
2017
We show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function is determined by its integrals over geodesics. In higher dimensions, we obtain a similar result if the manifold satisfies a foliation condition. These theorems are based on iterating a local uniqueness result. Our proofs are elementary.
Feuilletages deCP(n) : de l’holonomie hyperbolique pour les minimaux exceptionnels
1992
Let ℱ be a holomorphic foliation ofCP(n). If ℱ has a leaf L, the closure L of which is disjoint from the singular set of the foliation, we prove that there exists a loop in a leaf contained in L with contracting hyperbolic holonomy.
Partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with a compact center foliation with finite holonomy
2011
The thesis classifies partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with a compact center foliation with finite holonomy. Under the further assumption of a one-dimensional unstable bundle we show the following: If the unstable bundle is oriented then the system fibers over a hyperbolic toral automorphism. We further establish that the system has a dense orbit of center leaves. During the proof we show a Shadowing Lemma and the dynamical coherence without restrictions of the dimensions.
Temperature influence on the synthesis of pristine graphene oxide and graphite oxide
2015
Abstract Derivative oxide carbon materials, such as graphene or graphite oxides, have been recently considered to be a promising material in a wide scenarios of emerging technologies due to their physical and chemical properties, as well as, for their low production costs. Even if apparently similar, these materials exhibit different physical and chemical properties. One of the critical issue is associated with the exfoliation process and contributes to the formation of graphene oxide and graphite oxide material. Here, we show a single synthetic wet method to produce graphene or graphite oxide by applying a control of the operational temperature during the reaction. The process was optimise…
Umbilicity of surfaces with orthogonal asymptotic lines in R4
2002
We study some properties of surfaces in 4-space all whose points are umbilic with respect to some normal field. In particular, we show that this condition is equivalent to the orthogonality of the (globally defined) fields of asymptotic directions. We also analyze necessary and sufficient conditions for the hypersphericity of surfaces in 4-space. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Normalizability, Synchronicity, and Relative Exactness for Vector Fields in C2
2004
In this paper, we study the necessary and su.cient condition under which an orbitally normalizable vector field of saddle or saddle-node type in C2 is analytically conjugate to its formal normal form (i.e., normalizable) by a transformation fixing the leaves of the foliation locally. First, we express this condition in terms of the relative exactness of a certain 1-form derived from comparing the time-form of the vector field with the time-form of the normal form. Then we show that this condition is equivalent to a synchronicity condition: the vanishing of the integral of this 1-form along certain asymptotic cycles de.ned by the vector field. This can be seen as a generalization of the clas…
Key-ring structure gradients and sheath folds in the Goantagab Domain of NW Namibia
2011
Abstract The concept of deformation phases is one of the corner stones of structural geology but, despite its simplicity, there are situations where the concept breaks down. In the Goantagab Domain of NW Namibia, structures in an area of complex deformation can be subdivided into at least four sets, attributed to four deformation phases on the basis of overprinting relations. Three of these sets of structures, however, formed during the same tectonic event under similar metamorphic circumstances but slightly different flow conditions. These sets of structures show gradational transitions in space that can be understood by a concept of “key-ring structure gradients”, where older D A structur…
Nilpotence of orbits under monodromy and the length of Melnikov functions
2021
Abstract Let F ∈ ℂ [ x , y ] be a polynomial, γ ( z ) ∈ π 1 ( F − 1 ( z ) ) a non-trivial cycle in a generic fiber of F and let ω be a polynomial 1-form, thus defining a polynomial deformation d F + e ω = 0 of the integrable foliation given by F . We study different invariants: the orbit depth k , the nilpotence class n , the derivative length d associated with the couple ( F , γ ) . These invariants bind the length l of the first nonzero Melnikov function of the deformation d F + e ω along γ . We analyze the variation of the aforementioned invariants in a simple but informative example, in which the polynomial F is defined by a product of four lines. We study as well the relation of this b…
Plane foliations with a saddle singularity
2012
Abstract We study the set of planar vector fields with a unique singularity of hyperbolic saddle type. We found conditions to assure that a such vector field is topologically equivalent to a linear saddle. Furthermore, we describe the plane foliations associated to these vector fields. Such a foliation can be split in two subfoliations. One without restriction and another one that is topologically characterized by means of trees.
