چکیده
Given a smooth compact Riemannian surface, we prove that if a suitable convexity assumption on the tangent focal cut loci is satisfied, then all injectivity domains are semiconvex.

On a Stratification of the Moduli of K3 Surfaces
In this paper we give a characterization of the height of K3 surfaces in characteristic p > 0. This enables us to calculate the cycle classes of the loci in families of K3 surfaces where the height is at least h. The formulas for such loci can be seen as generalizations of the famous formula of Deuring for the number of supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic p. In order to describe the...
متن کاملCharacterizations of Slant Ruled Surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space
In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...
متن کاملOn a remarkable class of rational surfaces in 4-space generalizing surfaces with linear normal vector fields
In the present paper we investigate a special class of two-dimensional rational surfaces Φ in R whose tangent planes satisfy the following property: For any threespace E in R there exists a unique tangent plane T (u, v) of Φ which is parallel to E. For all possible varieties of tangent planes T (u, v) the corresponding families of surfaces in R are constructed explicitly. Quadratic triangular B...
متن کاملTetrahedral Mesh Construction for Unit Tangent Bundle over Genus-Zero Surfaces
Unit tangent bundle of a surface carries various information of tangent vector fields on that surface. For 2-spheres (i.e. genus-zero closed surfaces), the unit tangent bundle is a closed 3-manifold that has non-trivial topology and cannot be embedded in R. Therefore it cannot be constructed by existing mesh generation algorithms directly. This work aims at the first discrete construction of un...
متن کاملVisualization of Tangent Developables on a Volumetric Display
A tangent developable is a developable surface constructed by the union of the tangent lines of a space curve. These surfaces have applications not only in mathematics but also in engineering, such as for designing cars, ships, and apparel. However, since tangent developables typically have complicated and twisted surfaces, it is difficult to understand their structures from their images on a 2...
