New affine measures of symmetry for convex bodies
Grünbaum introduced measures of symmetry for convex bodies that measure how far a given convex body is from a centrally symmetric one. Here, we introduce new measures of symmetry that measure how far a given convex body is from one with “enough symmetries”. To define these new measures of symmetry, we use affine covariant points. We give examples of convex bodies whose affine covariant points a...
متن کاملAffine Diameters of Convex Bodies
We prove sharp inequalities for the average number of affine diameters through the points of a convex body K in Rn. These inequalities hold if K is a polytope or of dimension two. An example shows that the proof given in the latter case does not extend to higher dimensions. The example also demonstrates that for n ≥ 3 there exist norms and convex bodies K ⊂ Rn such that the metric projection on...
متن کاملTensor Generalizations of Affine Symmetry Vectors
A definition is suggested for affine symmetry tensors, which generalize the notion of affine vectors in the same way that (conformal) Killing tensors generalize (conformal) Killing vectors. An identity for these tensors is proved, which gives the second derivative of the tensor in terms of the curvature tensor, generalizing a well-known identity for affine vectors. Additionally, the definition ...
متن کاملThe Affine symmetry of self-dual gravity
Self-dual gravity may be reformulated as the two dimensional principal chiral model with the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms as its gauge group. Using this formulation, it is shown that self-dual gravity contains an infinite dimensional hidden symmetry whose generators form the Affine (Kac-Moody) algebra associated with the Lie algebra of area preserving diffeomorphisms. This result pr...
متن کاملW-symmetry, topological vertex and affine Yangian
We discuss the representation theory of the non-linear chiral algebra W1+∞ of Gaberdiel and Gopakumar and its connection to the Yangian of û(1) whose presentation was given by Tsymbaliuk. The characters of completely degenerate representations of W1+∞ are given by the topological vertex. The Yangian picture provides an infinite number of commuting charges which can be explicitly diagonalized in...
