Conformal Geometry for Viewpoint Change Representation

Conformal Geometry

Arrows in this diagram indicate input from one topic to another. Closely related topics are joined by lines. Conformal geometry is highly analogous to CR geometry, so their boxes are close together and arrows run in both directions. The left hand side of the diagram is largely algebraic. At the top of the diagram, Q-curvature and ambient metrics are specific aspects of conformal geometry, which...

Jet Isomorphism for Conformal Geometry

Local invariants of a metric in Riemannian geometry are quantities expressible in local coordinates in terms of the metric and its derivatives and which have an invariance property under changes of coordinates. It is a fundamental fact that such invariants may be written in terms of the curvature tensor of the metric and its covariant derivatives. In this form, they can be identified with invar...

The Conformal Geometry of Billiards

This article provides an introduction to some recent results in billiard dynamics. We present results that follow from a study of compact Riemann surfaces (equipped with a holomorphic 1-form) and an SL2R action on the moduli spaces of these surfaces. We concentrate on the progress toward classification of “optimal” billiard tables, those with the simplest trajectory structure.

Fractional Laplacian in conformal geometry

In this note, we study the connection between the fractional Laplacian operator that appeared in the recent work of Caffarelli and Silvestre and a class of conformally covariant operators in conformal geometry. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
