The Willmore Functional and Mobius Strips
Given a Mobius strip M isometric to a xed rectangle R, characterize the f lat (Gauss curvature K = 0) immersion :M ! R which minimizes W. The physical analog for this problem is to characterize the half-twisted coil of paper (Mobius strip) which has least bending energy. This problem di ers from the classical Willmore problem in three respects: (i) M has a boundary, (ii) M is non-orientable, ...
متن کاملAcute Triangulations of Pentagons
An acute triangulation is a triangulation whose triangles have all their angles less than π 2 . In this paper we prove that i) every planar pentagon can be triangulated into at most 54 acute triangles, and ii) every double pentagon can be triangulated into at most 76 acute triangles.
متن کاملThe Mobius Band and the Mobius Foliation
Some years ago we introduced a new topological invariant for foliated manifolds using techniques from noncommutative geometry, in particular the pairing between K-Theory and cyclic cohomology. The motivation came from flat principal G-bundles where the base space is a non simply connected manifold. The computation of this invariant is quite complicated. In this article we try to perform certain...
متن کاملAcute triangulations of double planar convex bodies
A (2-dimensional) double convex body 2K is a surface homeomorphic to the sphere consisting of two planar isometric compact convex bodies, K and K′, with boundaries glued in the obvious way. In this note we prove that, if K admits two perpendicular axes of symmetry and bdK satisfies a certain curvature condition, then 2K admits an acute triangulation of size 72. In particular, each double ellips...
متن کاملAcute Triangulations of Polyhedra and R
We study the problem of acute triangulations of convex polyhedra and the space R. Here an acute triangulation is a triangulation into simplices whose dihedral angles are acute. We prove that acute triangulations of the n-cube do not exist for n≥4. Further, we prove that acute triangulations of the space R do not exist for n≥5. In the opposite direction, in R, we present a construction of an acu...
