This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present work, a coordinate-free way is suggested to handle conformal maps of a Riemannian surface into a space of constant curvature of maximum dimension 4, modeled on the non-commutative field of quaternions. This setup for the target space and the idea to treat differential 2-forms on Riemannian surfaces as quadratic functions on the tangent space, are the starting points for the development of the theory of conformal maps and in particular of conformal immersions. As a first result, very nice conditions for the conformality of immersions into 3- and 4-dimensional space-forms are deduced and a simple way to write the second fundamental form is found. If the target space is euclidean 3-space, an alternative approach is proposed by fixing a spin structure on the Riemannian surface. The problem of finding a local immersion is then reduced to that of solving a linear Dirac equation with a potential whose square is the Willmore integrand. This allows to make statements about the structure of the moduli space of conformal immersions and to derive a very nice criterion for a conformal immersion to be constrained Willmore. As an application the Dirac equation with constant potential over spheres and tori is solved. This yields explicit immersion formulae out of which there were produced pictures, the Dirac-spheres and -tori. These immersions have the property that their Willmore integrand generates a metric of vanishing and constant curvature, respectively. As a next step an affine immersion theory is developped. This means, one starts with a given conformal immersion into euclidean 3-space and looks for new ones in the same conformal class. This is called a spin-transformation and it leads one to solve an affine Dirac equation. Also, it is shown how the coordinate-dependent generalized Weierstrass representation fits into the present framework. In particular, it is now natural to consider the class of conformal immersions that admit new conformal immersions having the same potential. It turns out, that all geometrically interesting immersions admit such an isopotential spin-transformation and that this property of an immersion is even a conformal invariant of the ambient space. It is shown that conformal isothermal immersions generate both via their dual and via Darboux transformations non-trivial families of new isopotential conformal immersions. Similarly to this, conformal (constrained) Willmore immersions produce non-trivial families of isopotential immersions of which subfamilies are (constrained) Willmore again having even the same Willmore integral. Another observation is, that the Euler-Lagrange equation for the Willmore problem is the integrability condition for a quaternionic 1-form, which generates a conformal minimal immersions into hyperbolic 4-space. Vice versa, any such immersion determines a conformal Willmore immersion. As a consequence, there is a one-to-one correspondence between conformal minimal immersions into Lorentzian space and those into hyperbolic space, which generalizes to any dimension. There is also induced an action on conformal minimal immersions into hyperbolic 4-space. Another fact is, that conformal constant mean curvature (cmc) immersions into some 3-dimensional space form unveil to be isothermal and constrained Willmore. The reverse statement is true at least for tori. Finally a very simple proof of a theorem by R.Bryant concerning Willmore spheres is given. In the last part, time-dependent conformal immersions are considered. Their deformation formulae are computed and it is investigated under what conditions the flow commutes with Moebius transformations. The modified Novikov-Veselov flow is written down in a conformal invariant way and explicit deformation formulae for the immersion function itself and all of its invariants are given. This flow commutes with Moebius transformations. Its definition is coupled with a delta-bar problem, for which a solution is presented under special conditions. These are fulfilled at least by cmc immersions and by surfaces of revolution and the general flow formulae reduce to very nice formulae in these cases.

Download or read book Constrained Willmore Surfaces written by Áurea Casinhas Quintino and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Bäcklund to Darboux, this monograph presents a comprehensive journey through the transformation theory of constrained Willmore surfaces, a topic of great importance in modern differential geometry and, in particular, in the field of integrable systems in Riemannian geometry. The first book on this topic, it discusses in detail a spectral deformation, Bäcklund transformations and Darboux transformations, and proves that all these transformations preserve the existence of a conserved quantity, defining, in particular, transformations within the class of constant mean curvature surfaces in 3-dimensional space-forms, with, furthermore, preservation of both the space-form and the mean curvature, and bridging the gap between different approaches to the subject, classical and modern. Clearly written with extensive references, chapter introductions and self-contained accounts of the core topics, it is suitable for newcomers to the theory of constrained Wilmore surfaces. Many detailed computations and new results unavailable elsewhere in the literature make it also an appealing reference for experts.

Book Synopsis Willmore Energy and Willmore Conjecture by : Magdalena D. Toda
Download or read book Willmore Energy and Willmore Conjecture written by Magdalena D. Toda and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first monograph dedicated entirely to Willmore energy and Willmore surfaces as contemporary topics in differential geometry. While it focuses on Willmore energy and related conjectures, it also sits at the intersection between integrable systems, harmonic maps, Lie groups, calculus of variations, geometric analysis and applied differential geometry. Rather than reproducing published results, it presents new directions, developments and open problems. It addresses questions like: What is new in Willmore theory? Are there any new Willmore conjectures and open problems? What are the contemporary applications of Willmore surfaces? As well as mathematicians and physicists, this book is a useful tool for postdoctoral researchers and advanced graduate students working in this area.

Book Synopsis Differential Geometry and Integrable Systems by : Martin A. Guest
Download or read book Differential Geometry and Integrable Systems written by Martin A. Guest and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas and techniques from the theory of integrable systems are playing an increasingly important role in geometry. Thanks to the development of tools from Lie theory, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, and topology, classical problems are investigated more systematically. New problems are also arising in mathematical physics. A major international conference was held at the University of Tokyo in July 2000. It brought together scientists in all of the areas influenced byintegrable systems. This book is the first of three collections of expository and research articles. This volume focuses on differential geometry. It is remarkable that many classical objects in surface theory and submanifold theory are described as integrable systems. Having such a description generallyreveals previously unnoticed symmetries and can lead to surprisingly explicit solutions. Surfaces of constant curvature in Euclidean space, harmonic maps from surfaces to symmetric spaces, and analogous structures on higher-dimensional manifolds are some of the examples that have broadened the horizons of differential geometry, bringing a rich supply of concrete examples into the theory of integrable systems. Many of the articles in this volume are written by prominent researchers and willserve as introductions to the topics. It is intended for graduate students and researchers interested in integrable systems and their relations to differential geometry, topology, algebraic geometry, and physics. The second volume from this conference also available from the AMS is Integrable Systems,Topology, and Physics, Volume 309 CONM/309in the Contemporary Mathematics series. The forthcoming third volume will be published by the Mathematical Society of Japan and will be available outside of Japan from the AMS in the Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics series.
