TOTAL SCALAR CURVATURE AND HARMONIC CURVATURE
Taiwanese Journal of Mathematics, 2014 On a compact n-dimensional manifold, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, will be Einstein. This conjecture was proposed in 1984 by Besse, but has yet to be proved.

Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction
eLife, 2016 Many eukaryotes assemble a ring-shaped actomyosin network that contracts to drive cytokinesis. Unlike actomyosin in sarcomeres, which cycles through contraction and relaxation, the cytokinetic ring disassembles during contraction through an unknown ...

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) exist in a form of helical winding bundles within the bronchial airway wall. Such tubular tissue provides cells with considerable curvature as a physical constraint, which is widely thought as an important determinant ...

Yang-Mills equations on conformally connected torsion-free 4-manifolds with different signatures
Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2017 In this paper we study spaces of conformal torsion-free connection of dimension 4 whose connection matrix satisfies the Yang-Mills equations. Here we generalize and strengthen the results obtained by us in previous articles, where the angular metric of ...

Hollow Core Bragg Fiber-Based Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Curvature and Temperature
Sensors, 2021 In this paper, the hollow core Bragg fiber (HCBF)-based sensor based on anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) model is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for simultaneous measurement of curvature and temperature by simply sandwiching a

Curvature-Adjustable Polymeric Nanolens Fabrication Using UV-Controlled Nanoimprint Lithography
Micromachines, 2022 Nanolenses are gaining importance in nanotechnology, but their challenging fabrication is thwarting their wider adoption. Of particular challenge is facile control of the lens’ curvature.

Nonnegative curvature and conullity of the curvature tensor [PDF]
Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2019 The conullity of a curvature tensor is the codimension of its kernel. We consider the cases of conullity two in any dimension and conullity three in dimension four. We show that these conditions are compatible with non-negative sectional curvature only if either the manifold is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$ or the universal cover is an isometric ...
