چکیده
Closed Legendrian (d− 1)-dimensional locally rectifiable currents on the sphere bundle in R are considered and the associated index functions are studied. A topological condition assuring the validity of a local version of the Gauss-Bonnet formula is established. The case of lower-dimensional Lipschitz submanifolds in R and their associated normal cycles is examined in detail.

Quantitative Bi-Lipschitz embeddings of bounded curvature manifolds and orbifolds
We construct bi-Lipschitz embeddings into Euclidean space for bounded diameter subsets of manifolds and orbifolds of bounded curvature. The distortion and dimension of such embeddings is bounded by diameter, curvature and dimension alone. We also construct global bi-Lipschitz embeddings for spaces of the form Rn/Γ , where Γ is a discrete group acting properly discontinuously and by isometries o...
متن کاملPolyhedral approximations of Riemannian manifolds
I’m trying to understand which Riemannian manifolds can be Lipschitz approximated by polyhedral spaces of the same dimension with curvature bounded below. The necessary conditions I found consist of some special inequality for curvature at each point (the geometric curvature bound). This inequality is also sufficient condition for local approximation. I conjecture that it is also a sufficient c...
متن کاملNormal cycles of Lipschitz manifolds by approximation with parallel sets
It is shown that sufficiently close outer and inner parallel sets to a ddimensional Lipschitz manifold in R with boundary have locally positive reach and the normal cycle of the Lipschitz manifold can be defined as limit of normal cycles of the parallel sets in the flat seminorms for currents, provided that the normal cycles of the parallel set have locally bounded mass. The Gauss-Bonnet formul...
متن کاملBounded Curvature Closure of the Set of Compact Riemannian Manifolds
In this note we consider the set of metric spaces which are the limits with respect to Lipschitz distance dL of compact connected C°°-Riemannian manifolds of curvature uniformly bounded above and below. We call this set "bounded curvature closure" (BCC). It is well known that the limit spaces need not be C-Riemannian manifolds [P, Example 1.8]. Hence, the problem arising is to give a geometrica...
متن کاملUniqueness and Pseudolocality Theorems of the Mean Curvature Flow
Mean curvature flow evolves isometrically immersed base Riemannian manifolds M in the direction of their mean curvature in an ambient manifold M̄ . We consider the classical solutions to the mean curvature flow. If the base manifold M is compact, the short time existence and uniqueness of the mean curvature flow are well-known. For complete noncompact isometrically immersed hypersurfaces M (unif...
