Topology of Negatively Curved Real Affine Algebraic Surfaces

چکیده
We find a quartic example of a smooth embedded negatively curved surface in R homeomorphic to a doubly punctured torus. This constitutes an explicit solution to Hadamard’s problem on constructing complete surfaces with negative curvature and Euler characteristic in R. Further we show that our solution has the optimal degree of algebraic complexity via a topological classification for smooth cubic surfaces with a negatively curved component in R: any such component must either be topologically a plane or an annulus. In particular we prove that there exists no cubic solutions to Hadamard’s problem.

Smooth surfaces from bilinear patches: Discrete affine minimal surfaces☆
Motivated by applications in freeform architecture, we study surfaces which are composed of smoothly joined bilinear patches. These surfaces turn out to be discrete versions of negatively curved affine minimal surfaces and share many properties with their classical smooth counterparts. We present computational design approaches and study special cases which should be interesting for the archite...
متن کاملNegatively Curved Groups
The notion of a negatively curved group is at first highly non-intuitive because it links two areas of mathematics that are not usually associated with one another. Curvature is generally a property that we associate with geometric objects like curves or surfaces in R, while a group is an algebraic structure that we associate with objects like integers or matrices. However, there is a way to de...

متن کاملRational Parametrizations of Real Cubic Surfaces
Real cubic algebraic surfaces may be described by either implicit or parametric equations. Each of these representations has strengths and weaknesses and have been used extensively in computer graphics. Applications involving both representations include the efficient computation of surface intersections, and triangulation of curved surfaces. One particularly useful representation is the ration...
متن کاملCalcul effectif de la topologie de courbes et surfaces algébriques réelles. (On the Computation of The Topology of Real Algebraic Curves and Surfaces)
In this thesis, we got interested into the Effective Computation of the Topology of Real Algebraic Curves and Surfaces. One can distinguish three main new algorithms in the field of shape representation. Our first algorithm is a certified symbolic-numerical based on sub-resultants properties and computes the topology of a plane algebraic curve with the best known complexity. The second algorith...
