Solving Local Equivalence Problems with the Equivariant Moving Frame Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a Lie pseudo-group action, an equivariant moving frame exists in the neighborhood of a submanifold jet provided the action is free and regular. For local equivalence problems the freeness requirement cannot always be satisfied and in this paper we show that, with the appropriate modifications and assumptions, the equivariant moving frame constructions extend to submanifold jets where the pseudo-group does not act freely at any order. Once this is done, we review the solution to the local equivalence problem of submanifolds within the equivariant moving frame framework. This offers an alternative approach to Cartan’s equivalence method based on the theory of G-structures.

Signature submanifolds for some equivalence problems
This article concerned on the study of signature submanifolds for curves under Lie group actions SE(2), SA(2) and for surfaces under SE(3). Signature submanifold is a regular submanifold which its coordinate components are differential invariants of an associated manifold under Lie group action, and therefore signature submanifold is a key for solving equivalence problems.
متن کاملMoving frames
Although the ideas date back to the early nineteenth century (see [1; Chapter 5] for detailed historical remarks), the theory of moving frames (“repères mobiles”) is most closely associated with the name of Élie Cartan, [12], who molded it into a powerful and algorithmic tool for studying the geometric properties of submanifolds and their invariants under the action of a transformation group. I...
متن کاملDifferential Invariants of Equi–Affine Surfaces
We show that the algebra of equi-affine differential invariants of a suitably generic surface S ⊂ R is entirely generated by the third order Pick invariant via invariant differentiation. The proof is based on the new, equivariant approach to the method of moving frames. The goal of this paper is to prove that, in three-dimensional equi-affine geometry, all higher order differential invariants o...
متن کاملEquivariant Moving Frames for Euclidean Surfaces
The purpose of this note is to explain how to use the equivariant method of moving frames, [1, 10], to derive the differential invariants, invariant differential operators and invariant differential forms for surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This is, of course, a very classical problem and the results are not new; for the classical moving frame derivation, see, for instance, [2, 3...
متن کاملOptimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method
Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...
