Geodesics and Compression Bodies
We consider hyperbolic structures on the compression body C with genus 2 positive boundary and genus 1 negative boundary. Note that C deformation retracts to the union of the torus boundary and a single arc with its endpoints on the torus. We call this arc the core tunnel of C. We conjecture that, in any geometrically finite structure on C, the core tunnel is isotopic to a geodesic. By consider...
متن کاملShort Geodesics in Hyperbolic Compression Bodies Are Not Knotted
Let N̄ be a compact, orientable, irreducible and atoroidal 3-manifold with boundary ∂N̄ . A simple closed curve γ ⊂ N̄ is said to be unknotted with respect to ∂N̄ if it can be isotoped into ∂N̄ . Equivalently, γ is contained in an embedded surface which is isotopic to the boundary. More generally, a finite collection Γ = {γ1, . . . , γn} of simple curves is unlinked in N̄ if there is a collection of ...
متن کاملMotion Compression using Principal Geodesics Analysis
We present a novel, lossy compression method for human motion data that exploits both temporal and spatial coherence. We first build a compact skeleton pose model from a single motion using Principal Geodesic Analysis(PGA). The key idea is to perform compression by only storing the model parameters along with the end-joints and root joint trajectories in the output data. The input data are reco...
متن کاملMapping Class Groups of Compression Bodies and 3-Manifolds
We analyze the mapping class group Hx(W ) of automorphisms of the exterior boundary W of a compression body (Q,V ) of dimension 3 or 4 which extend over the compression body. Here V is the interior boundary of the compression body (Q,V ). Those automorphisms which extend as automorphisms of (Q,V ) rel V are called discrepant automorphisms, forming the mapping class group Hd(W ) of discrepant au...
متن کاملLiquid crystals and geodesics
2014 Since a unit vector n is a point on the unit sphere, any one-dimensional liquid crystal configuratior n(z), a ~ z ~ b, generates a path on the unit sphere. In order to see what configurations are stable, we map the unit sphere onto a surface G having the property that equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal map into geodesic lines on the surface (geodesics). The shape of the...
