چکیده

This paper introduces logarithmic curvature and torsion graphs for analyzing planar and space curves. We present a method for drawing these graphs from any differentiable parametric curves and clarify the characteristics of these graphs. We show several examples of theses graphs drawn from planar and 3D Bézier curves. From the graphs, we can see some interesting properties of curves that cannot be derived from the curvature or torsion plots.

Compound-rhythm Log-aesthetic Space Curve Segements

This paper extends the previous work of generating monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments so that compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments are interactively generated. A compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segment is composed of two monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments whose logarithmic curvature and torsion graphs are represented by two connected lin...

The Natural 3D Spiral

Logarithmic spirals are ubiquitous in nature. This paper presents a novel mathematical definition of a 3D logarithmic spiral, which provides a proper description of objects found in nature. To motivate our work, we scanned spiral-shaped objects and studied their geometric properties. We consider the extent to which the existing 3D definitions capture these properties. We identify a property tha...

Linear Transports along Paths in Vector Bundles v. Properties of Curvature and Torsion

A geometric interpretation of curvature and torsion of linear transports along paths is presented. A number of (Bianchi type) identities satisfied by these quantities are derived. The obtained results contain as special cases the corresponding classical ones concerning curvature and torsion of linear connections.

Swan Conductors and Torsion in the Logarithmic de Rham Complex

We prove, for an arithmetic scheme X/S over a discrete valuation ring whose special fiber is a strict normal crossings divisor in X, that the Swan conductor of X/S is equal to the Euler characteristic of the torsion in the logarithmic de Rham complex of X/S. This is a precise logarithmic analog of a theorem by Bloch [1].

Ricci curvature of metric spaces

We define a notion of Ricci curvature in metric spaces equipped with a measure or a random walk. For this we use a local contraction coefficient of the random walk acting on the space of probability measures equipped with a transportation distance. This notions allows to generalize several classical theorems associated with positive Ricci curvature, such as a spectral gap bound (Lichnerowicz th...
