The Gauss - Bonnet - Grotemeyer Theorem in spaces of constant curvature ∗

چکیده
In 1963, K.P. Grotemeyer proved an interesting variant of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem. Let M be an oriented closed surface in the Euclidean space R 3 with Euler characteristic χ(M), Gauss curvature G and unit normal vector field n. Grote-meyer's identity replaces the Gauss-Bonnet integrand G by the normal moment (a · n) 2 G, where a is a fixed unit vector: M (a · n) 2 Gdv = 2π 3 χ(M). We generalize Grotemeyer's result to oriented closed even-dimesional hypersurfaces of dimension n in an (n + 1)-dimensional space form N n+1 (k).

We give an integral-geometric proof of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for hypersurfaces in constant curvature spaces. As a tool, we obtain variation formulas in integral geometry with interest in its own.
متن کاملEvolutes and Isoperimetric Deficit in Two-dimensional Spaces of Constant Curvature
We relate the total curvature and the isoperimetric deficit of a curve γ in a two-dimensional space of constant curvature with the area enclosed by the evolute of γ. We provide also a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a special class of evolutes.
متن کاملNUT-Charged Black Holes in Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
We investigate the existence of Taub-NUT/bolt solutions in Gauss-Bonnet gravity and obtain the general form of these solutions in d dimensions. We find that for all nonextremal NUT solutions of Einstein gravity having no curvature singularity at r = N , there exist NUT solutions in Gauss-Bonnet gravity that contain these solutions in the limit that the Gauss-Bonnet parameter α goes to zero. Fur...
متن کاملGauss-Bonnet Black Holes in AdS Spaces
We study thermodynamic properties and phase structures of topological black holes in Einstein theory with a Gauss-Bonnet term and a negative cosmological constant. The event horizon of these topological black holes can be a hypersurface with positive, zero or negative constant curvature. When the horizon is a zero curvature hypersurface, the thermodynamic properties of black holes are completel...
متن کاملA Renormalized Index Theorem for Some Complete Asymptotically Regular Metrics: the Gauss-bonnet Theorem
The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is studied for edge metrics as a renormalized index theorem. These metrics include the Poincaré-Einstein metrics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Renormalization is used to make sense of the curvature integral and the dimensions of the L-cohomology spaces as well as to carry out the heat equation proof of the index theorem. For conformally compact metrics even mod x, the ...
