Exotic Structures and the Limitations of Certain Analytic Methods in Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this survey we review some results concerning negatively curved exotic structures (DIFF and PL) and its (unexpected) implications on the limitations of some analytic methods in geometry. Among these methods are the harmonic map method and the Ricci flow method. First in section 1 we mention certain results about the rigidity of negatively curved manifolds. In section 2 and 3 we survey some results concerning the limitations of the harmonic map technique and the natural map technique for negatively curved manifolds. Finally, in section 4, we mention some limitations of the Ricci flow method for pinched negatively curved manifolds. We are grateful to J-F. Lafont and R. Spatzier for the useful information they provided to us and to E. Gasparim for suggesting some improvements in the text. We are also grateful to the referee for pointing out certain inaccuracies.

Influences of Railway Track Geometry Parameters on Ground-Borne Vibration
One of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. Although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. This is addressed in this resea...
متن کاملA Novel Drawing Method for Innovative Design of Karbandi Case Study: The Karbandis of Tabriz Historic Bazaar
Karbandi is a common structural and covering pattern for arched surfaces in Persian architecture, which is rooted in the precise methods of descriptive geometry. These methods, due to their strict geometry, do not have much flexibility and have been used only in specific fields in Iranian architecture. Therefore, the questions arise: what are the limitations and requirements of common drawing m...
متن کاملAnalysis of Radial Baffle Effects on Acoustic Characteristics of a Combustion Chamber
An efficient finite volume approach has been used to develop a three dimensional Helmholtz acoustic solver for complex geometries. This acoustic solver was utilized to obtain characteristic mode shapes and frequencies of a baffled combustion chamber. An experimental setup, including stationary and moving sensors, has also been used to measure these quantities for the same model combustion chamb...

متن کاملThree Different Methods for Approximate Analysis of Bar Structures
In this paper, modified solutions were compared through utilizing three different approximate methods for bar structures. The modifications considered various changes in the initial design. To authors' best of knowledge, the studies have carried out on this matter so far are not broad enough and have considerred the simeltaneous variations of size, geometry and topology on the bar structures. I...
