On convex projective manifolds and cusps

This study of properly or strictly convex real projective manifolds introduces notions of parabolic, horosphere and cusp. Results include a Margulis lemma and in the strictly convex case a thick-thin decomposition. Finite volume cusps are shown to be projectively equivalent to cusps of hyperbolic manifolds. This is proved using a characterization of ellipsoids in projective space. Except in dim...

Frobenius Manifolds, Projective Special Geometry and Hitchin Systems

We consider the construction of Frobenius manifolds associated to projective special geometry and analyse the dependence on choices involved. In particular, we prove that the underlying F-manifold is canonical. We then apply this construction to integrable systems of Hitchin type.

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...

Configurations of Flats, I: Manifolds of Points in the Projective Line

The topological manifolds arising from configurations of points in the real and complex projective lines are classified. Their topology and combinatorics are described for the real case. A general setting for the study of the spaces of configurations of flats is established and a projective duality among them is proved in its full generality.

Proper Affine Hyperspheres which fiber over Projective Special Kähler Manifolds

We show that the natural S-bundle over a projective special Kähler manifold carries the geometry of a proper affine hypersphere endowed with a Sasakian structure. The construction generalizes the geometry of the Hopf-fibration S −→ CPn in the context of projective special Kähler manifolds. As an application we have that a natural circle bundle over the Kuranishi moduli space of a Calabi-Yau thr...
