Iterated Differential Forms II: Riemannian Geometry Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A natural extension of Riemannian geometry to a much wider context is presented on the basis of the iterated differential form formalism developed in math.DG/0605113 and an application to general relativity is given.Comment: 12 pages, extended version of

DisMech: A Discrete Differential Geometry-Based Physical Simulator for Soft Robots and Structures [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2023
Fast, accurate, and generalizable simulations are a key enabler of modern advances in robot design and control. However, existing simulation frameworks in robotics either model rigid environments and mechanisms only, or if they include flexible or soft ...

Exploring differential geometry in neural implicits [PDF]

open access: yesComputers & graphics, 2022
We introduce a neural implicit framework that exploits the differentiable properties of neural networks and the discrete geometry of point-sampled surfaces to approximate them as the level sets of neural implicit functions.

DG‐GL: Differential geometry‐based geometric learning of molecular datasets [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2018
Motivation: Despite its great success in various physical modeling, differential geometry (DG) has rarely been devised as a versatile tool for analyzing large, diverse, and complex molecular and biomolecular datasets because of the limited understanding ...

From Second-Order Differential Geometry to Stochastic Geometric Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of nonlinear science, 2022
Classical geometric mechanics, including the study of symmetries, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, and the Hamilton–Jacobi theory, are founded on geometric structures such as jets, symplectic and contact ones.

On variational approach to differential invariants of rank two distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We construct differential invariants for generic rank 2 vector distributions on n-dimensional manifolds, where n ⩾ 5 . Our method for the construction of invariants is completely different from the Cartan reduction-prolongation procedure.

Centro-affine differential geometry and the log-Minkowski problem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the European Mathematical Society (Print), 2021
We interpret the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture of B\"or\"oczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang as a spectral problem in centro-affine differential geometry. In particular, we show that the Hilbert-Brunn-Minkowski operator coincides with the centro-affine Laplacian ...

Differential Geometry of 1-type Submanifolds and Submanifolds with 1-type Gauss Map

open access: yesInternational Electronic Journal of Geometry, 2023
The theory of finite type submanifolds was introduced by the first author in late 1970s and it has become a useful tool for investigation of submanifolds. Later, the first author and P.

Mem3DG: Modeling membrane mechanochemical dynamics in 3D using discrete differential geometry [PDF]

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Biomembranes adopt varying morphologies that are vital to cellular functions. Many studies use computational modeling to understand how various mechanochemical factors contribute to membrane shape transformations. Compared to approximation-based methods (

A quantum complexity lower bound from differential geometry [PDF]

open access: yesNature Physics, 2021
Quantum operations can be considered as points in a high-dimensional space in which distance reflects the similarity of two operations. Applying differential-geometric methods in this picture gives insights into the complexity of quantum systems ...
