SPECTRAL GEOMETRY OF SPACETIME

2000

Spacetime, understood as a globally hyperbolic manifold, may be characterized by spectral data using a 3+1 splitting into space and time, a description of space by spectral triples and by employing causal relationships, as proposed earlier. Here, it is proposed to use the Hadamard condition of quantum field theory as a smoothness principle.

Total curvatures of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space

1999

We give sharp upper estimates for the difference circumradius minus inradius and for the angle between the radial vector (respect to the center of an inball) and the normal to the boundary of a compact $h$-convex domain in the hyperpolic space. We apply these estimates to get the limit at the infinity for the quotients Volume/Area and (Total $k$-mean curvature)/Area of a family of $h$-convex domains which expand over the whole space. The theorem for the first quotient gives an extension to arbitrary dimension of a result of Santalo and Yanez for the hyperbolic plane.

Appendix: Diophantine Approximation on Hyperbolic Surfaces

2002

In this (independent) appendix, we study the Diophantine approximation properties for the particular case of the cusped hyperbolic surfaces, in the spirit of Sect. 2 (or [11]), and the many still open questions that arise for them. We refer to [9], [10]for fundamental results and further developments. We study in particular the distance to a cusp of closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface.

On bounds for total absolute curvature of surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space

2003

Abstract We construct examples of surfaces in hyperbolic space which do not satisfy the Chern–Lashof inequality (which holds for immersed surfaces in Euclidean space). To cite this article: R. Langevin, G. Solanes, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 336 (2003).

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 .

Nonlinear hyperbolic equations in surface theory: integrable discretizations and approximation results

2006

A numerical scheme is developed for solution of the Goursat problem for a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems with an arbitrary number of independent variables. Convergence results are proved for this difference scheme. These results are applied to hyperbolic systems of differential-geometric origin, like the sine-Gordon equation describing the surfaces of the constant negative Gaussian curvature (K-surfaces). In particular, we prove the convergence of discrete K--surfaces and their Backlund transformations to their continuous counterparts. This puts on a firm basis the generally accepted belief (which however remained unproved untill this work) that the classical differential geometry of…

Hyperbolic isometries versus symmetries of links

2009

We prove that every finite group is the orientation-preserving isometry group of the complement of a hyperbolic link in the 3-sphere.

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…

2005

Some geometrical properties associated to the contact of submanifolds with hyperhorospheres in hyperbolic -space are studied as an application of the theory of Legendrian singularities.
