The utility of the notion of generalized disclinations in materials science is discussed within the physical context of modeling interfacial and bulk line defects like defected grain and phase boundaries, dislocations and disclinations. The Burgers vector of a disclination dipole in linear elasticity is derived, clearly demonstrating the equivalence of its stress field to that of an edge disloc...

We study parabolic linear Weingarten surfaces in hyperbolic space H. In particular, we classify two family of parabolic surfaces: surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature and surfaces that satisfy the relation aκ1 + bκ2 = c, where κi are the principal curvatures, and a, b and c are constant.

A hypersurface of order (n+ 1)(ph − 1) in projective space of dimension n of prime characteristic p has an invariant monomial. This implies that a hypersurface of order (n+1)(ph−1)−1 determines an invariant point. A hypersurface of order d < n+ 1 in a projective space of dimension n of characteristic two has an invariant set of subspaces of dimension d− 1 determined by one linear condition on t...

We introduce a Lie algebra of initial terms of logarithmic vector fields along a hypersurface singularity. Extending the formal structure theorem in [GS06, Thm. 5.4], we show that the completely reducible part of its linear projection lifts formally to a linear Lie algebra of logarithmic vector fields. For quasihomogeneous singularities, we prove convergence of this linearization. We relate our...
