Another approach to the fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry in R3, by way of rotation fields

open access: greenJournal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2007
AbstractIn 1992, C. Vallée showed that the metric tensor field C=∇ΘT∇Θ associated with a smooth enough immersion Θ:Ω→R3 defined over an open set Ω⊂R3 necessarily satisfies the compatibility relationCURLΛ+COFΛ=0in Ω, where the matrix field Λ is defined in terms of the field U=C1/2 byΛ=1detU{U(CURLU)TU−12(tr[U(CURLU)T])U}.The main objective of this paper

Rotation fields and the fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry inR3

open access: closedComptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2006
Let Ω be a simply-connected open subset of R^3. We show that, if a smooth enough field U of symmetric and positive-definite matrices of order three satisfies the compatibility relation (due to C. Vallee) CURL Λ+COF Λ=0 in Ω, where the matrix field Λ is defined in terms of the field U by Λ=(1/detU){U(CURL U)^T U−(1/2)(tr[U(CURL U)T])U ...

Riemannian Structures on Z 2 n -Manifolds [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Very loosely, Z2n-manifolds are ‘manifolds’ with Z2n-graded coordinates and their sign rule is determined by the scalar product of their Z2n-degrees. A little more carefully, such objects can be understood within a sheaf-theoretical framework, just as ...

Riemannian Geometry and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

open access: green, 2011
If a (non-constant) polynomial has no zero, then a certain Riemannian metric is constructed on the two dimensional sphere. Several geometric arguments are then shown to contradict this fact.

The Reciprocal of the Fundamental Theorem of Riemannian Geometry

open access: green, 2009
The fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry is inverted for analytic Christoffel symbols. The inversion formula, henceforth dubbed Ricardo's formula, is obtained without ancillary assumptions. Even though Ricardo's formula can mathematically give the full answer, it is argued that the solution should be taken only up to a constant conformal factor ...

Nonlinear elasticity complex and a finite element diagram chase [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv.org, 2023
In this paper, we present a nonlinear version of the linear elasticity (Calabi, Kr\"oner, Riemannian deformation) complex which encodes isometric embedding, metric, curvature and the Bianchi identity. We reformulate the rigidity theorem and a fundamental

Riemannian curvature measures [PDF]

open access: yesGeometric and Functional Analysis, 2017
A famous theorem of Weyl states that if M is a compact submanifold of euclidean space, then the volumes of small tubes about M are given by a polynomial in the radius r, with coefficients that are expressible as integrals of certain scalar invariants of ...

On the Non Metrizability of Berwald Finsler Spacetimes

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
We investigate whether Szabo’s metrizability theorem can be extended to Finsler spaces of indefinite signature. For smooth, positive definite Finsler metrics, this important theorem states that, if the metric is of Berwald type (i.e., its Chern–Rund ...

Warped Riemannian Metrics for Location-Scale Models [PDF]

open access: yesGeometric Structures of Information, 2017
The present contribution shows that warped Riemannian metrics, a class of Riemannian metrics which play a prominent role in Riemannian geometry, are also of fundamental importance in information geometry.
