Lorentzian Worldlines and Schwarzian Derivative
The aim of this note is to relate the classical Schwarzian derivative and the geometry of Lorentz surfaces of constant curvature. 1. The starting point of our investigations lies in the following remark (joint work with L. Guieu). Consider a curve y = f(x) in the Lorentz plane with metric g = dxdy. If f (x) > 0, then its Lorentz curvature can be computed : ̺(x) = f (x) (f (x)) and enjoys the qui...
متن کاملSchwarzian derivative and Numata Finsler structures
The flag curvature of the Numata Finsler structures is shown to admit a nontrivial prolongation to the one-dimensional case, revealing an unexpected link with the Schwarzian derivative of the diffeomorphisms associated with these Finsler structures. Mathematics Subject Classification 2000: 58B20, 53A55 1 Finsler structures in a nutshell 1.1 Finsler metrics A Finsler structure is a pair (M,F ) w...
متن کاملThe Schwarzian Derivative and Schlicht Functions
It is customary to formulate the inequalities of the "Verzerrungssatz" type for analytic functions w—f(z), schlicht in the unit circle, with reference to a specific normalization. The two normalizations mainly used are: (a) f(z) is finite in \z\ < 1 , /(O) = 0 , /'(O) = 1; (b) ƒ(z) has a pole at 2 = 0 with the residue 1. If we want to obtain inequalities which are independent of any particular ...
متن کاملOn Zeroes of the Schwarzian Derivative
The main character of the present note is the Schwarzian derivative, and we start with a brief reminder of its definition and main properties. Let f : RP → RP be a projective line diffeomorphism. For every point x ∈ RP there exists a unique projective transformation gx : RP 1 → RP whose 2-jet at x coincides with that of f . The Schwarzian derivative S(f) measures the deviation of the 3-jet jf f...
متن کاملSturm theory, Ghys theorem on zeroes of the Schwarzian derivative and flattening of Legendrian curves
Etienne Ghys has recently discovered a beautiful theorem: given a diffeomorphism of the projective line, there exist at least four distinct points in which the diffeomorphism is unusually well approximated by projective transformations [8]. The points in question are the ones in which the 3-jet of the diffeomorphism is that of a projective transformation; in a generic point the order of approxi...
