Loewner curvature

open access: yesMathematische Annalen, 2015
The purpose of this paper is to interpret the phase transition in the Loewner theory as an analog of the hyperbolic variant of the Schur theorem about curves of bounded curvature. We define a family of curves that have a certain conformal self-similarity property. They are characterized by a deterministic version of the domain Markov property, and have

Ricci curvature on polyhedral surfaces via optimal transportation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The problem of defining correctly geometric objects such as the curvature is a hard one in discrete geometry. In 2009, Ollivier defined a notion of curvature applicable to a wide category of measured metric spaces, in particular to graphs.

Strongly positive curvature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We begin a systematic study of a curvature condition (strongly positive curvature) which lies strictly between positive curvature operator and positive sectional curvature, and stems from the work of Thorpe in the 1970s.

Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Emergent Differential Organization of Airway Smooth Muscle Cells on Concave and Convex Tubular Surface

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Spatial curvature endgame: Reaching the limit of curvature determination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Current constraints on spatial curvature show that it is dynamically negligible: $|\Omega_{\rm K}| \lesssim 5 \times 10^{-3}$ (95% CL). Neglecting it as a cosmological parameter would be premature however, as more stringent constraints on $\Omega_{\rm K}$

Yang-Mills equations on conformally connected torsion-free 4-manifolds with different signatures

open access: yesVestnik 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 ...

Geometric Characteristics of the Wasserstein Metric on SPD(n) and Its Applications on Data Processing

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
The Wasserstein distance, especially among symmetric positive-definite matrices, has broad and deep influences on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other branches of computer science.

Scalar Curvature and Q-Curvature of Random Metrics [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2010
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in dimension $n>2$, and for the $Q$-curvature of random Riemannian metrics.

Hollow Core Bragg Fiber-Based Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Curvature and Temperature

open access: yesSensors, 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
