Fundamentals of Restricted-Orientation Convexity
1996
Information Sciences
O-convexity, also called restricted-orientation convexity, was defined in terms of the intersection of a geometric object with lines parallel to the elements of a fixed orientation set O (see Section 2 ...
Rawlins applied restricted orientations in his definition of two new types of generalized convexity, which he called O-convexity and strong O-convexity [16] . ...
In two dimensions, if the orientation set contains n lines, the boundary of every O-convex polygon can be partitioned into at most n O-convex polygonal lines [16] . ...

Fundamentals of Restricted-Orientation Convexity
2018
A restricted-orientation convex set, also called an O-convex set, is a set of points whose intersection with lines from some fixed set is empty or connected. ...
We introduce and investigate restricted-orientation analogs of lines, flats, and hyperplanes, and characterize O-convex and O-connected sets in terms of their intersections with hyperplanes. ...

Closed convex hypersurfaces with second fundamental form of constant curvature
1972
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
An oriented hypersurface (always assumed to be sufficiently smooth) in (/i+l)-dimensional Euclidean space (n^2) will be called closed if it is compact and without boundary, and convex if its second fundamental ...

The Equilateral Pentagon at Zero Angular Momentum: Maximal Rotation through Optimal Deformation
2012
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems
We also show that restricting allowed shapes to convex pentagons the optimal loop is the boundary of the convex region and gives \Delta \theta \approx 19\degree. ...
We show that the shape space of the equilateral pentagon has genus 4 and find a fundamental region by discrete symmetry reduction with respect to symmetry group D_5. ...

Grothendieck's Reconstruction Principle and 2-dimensional Topology and Geometry
[article]
1999
arXiv
pre-print
This paper attempts to relate some ideas of Grothendieck in his Esquisse d'un programme and some of the recent results on 2-dimensional topology and geometry. ...
Especially, we shall discuss the Teichmüller theory, the mapping class groups, SL(2, C) representation variety of surface groups, and Thurston's theory of measured laminations. ...
Namely, suppose f is a complex valued function defined on the fundamental group of the surface so that the restriction of f to the fundamental group of each essential level-1 subsurface is a GL(n, C)-character ...

Affine Conormal of Convex Hypersurfaces
1989
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
The geometry of convex hypersurfaces in real affine space is analyzed using the affine conormal. A weak version of Chern's conjecture, characterizing paraboloids among convex graphs, is proved. ...
In addition, it is shown that a closed convex affine hypersurface with constant affine total curvature is an ellipsoid. ...
It removes the superfluous assumption on positive definiteness of the affine third fundamental form when the Theorem was first formulated. Thanks are also due to Profs. ...

Some Uses of the Second Conformal Structure on Strictly Convex Surfaces

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
But if S is strictly convex (and oriented so that mean curvature 77 >0) then the second fundamental form is positive definite and determines still another conformai structure on S. ...
We imitate Hopfs procedures in this paper, restricting our attention to strictly convex surfaces and using R2 in place of Pi structure. ...

Immersions of Positively Curved Manifolds Into Manifolds with Curvature Bounded Above
1990
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
Then the radius of the smallest A'-ball containing x(M) is less than ^nc and x is in fact an imbedding of M into A', whose image bounds a convex body. ...
Let M be a compact, connected, orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension n-1 > 2 , and let x be an isometric immersion of M into an ndimensional Riemannian manifold N . ...
The conditions on M in Theorem 1 are less restrictive than those of Theorem 2, where M is both orientable and of codimension 1. In Theorem 1, M need not be orientable and can be of any codimension. ...
