Geodesic flow of the averaged controlled Kepler equation
A normal form of the Riemannian metric arising when averaging the coplanar controlled Kepler equation is given. This metric is parameterized by two scalar invariants which encode its main properties. The restriction of the metric to S is shown to be conformal to the flat metric on an oblate ellipsoid of revolution, and the associated conjugate locus is observed to be a deformation of the standa...
متن کاملOn the Convexity of Injectivity Domains on Nonfocal Manifolds
Given a smooth nonfocal compact Riemannian manifold, we show that the so-called Ma–Trudinger–Wang condition implies the convexity of injectivity domains. This improves a previous result by Loeper and Villani.
متن کاملContinuity of optimal transport maps and convexity of injectivity domains on small deformations of S
Given a compact Riemannian manifold, we study the regularity of the optimal transport map between two probability measures with cost given by the squared Riemannian distance. Our strategy is to define a new form of the so-called Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition and to show that this condition, together with the strict convexity on the nonfocal domains, implies the continuity of the optimal transport...
متن کاملTorque on a Rotating Ellipsoid in a Rarefied Gas
A particle, shaped as an ellipsoid of revolution and rotating about an arbitrary axis, experiences a torque in a rarefied monatomic gas because of the impact with the gas atoms. This torque is calculated for the case where the linear dimensions of the ellipsoid are small compared with the mean free path of the gas. The interaction of the gas atoms with the ellipsoidal surface is taken into acco...
متن کاملOn the local convexity of intersection bodies of revolution
One of the fundamental results regarding intersection bodies is Busemann’s theorem, which states that the intersection body of a symmetric convex body is convex. Thus, it is natural to ask how much of convexity is guaranteed under the intersection body operation. In this paper we provide several results about the (strict) improvement of convexity for intersection bodies of symmetric bodies of r...
