Configurations of curves and geodesics on surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study configurations of immersed curves in surfaces and surfaces in 3-manifolds. Among other results, we show that primitive curves have only finitely many configurations which minimize the number of double points. We give examples of minimal configurations not realized by geodesics in any hyperbolic metric.

متن کاملAlgebraic Closed Geodesics on a Triaxial Ellipsoid *
We propose a simple method of explicit description of families of closed geodesics on a triaxial ellipsoid Q that are cut out by algebraic surfaces in R. Such geodesics are either connected components of spatial elliptic curves or of rational curves. Our approach is based on elements of the Weierstrass–Poncaré reduction theory for hyperelliptic tangential covers of elliptic curves, the addition...

متن کاملIRWIN AND JOAN JACOBS CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Normal Approximations of Geodesics on Smooth Triangulated Surfaces
We introduce a novel method for the approximation of shortest geodesics on smooth triangulated surfaces. The method relies on the theory of normal curves on triangulated surfaces and their relations with geodesics. We also relate in this work to normal surfaces and comment on the possible extension of the method for finding minimal surfaces inside 3-manifolds.
