A class of variational functionals in conformal geometry
We derive a class of variational functionals which arise naturally in conformal geometry. In the special case when the Riemannian manifold is locally conformal flat, the functional coincides with the well studied functional which is the integration over the manifold of the k-symmetric function of the Schouten tensor of the metric on the manifold.
متن کاملOn conformal variational problems and free boundary continua
We develop a framework for deriving governing partial differential equations for variational problems on spaces of conformal mappings. The main motivation is to obtain differential equations for the conformal motion of free boundary continua, of interest in image and shape registration. A fundamental tool in the paper, the Hodge–Morrey–Friedrichs decompositions of differential forms on manifold...
متن کاملSome Local and Non-local Variational Problems in Riemannian Geometry
— In this article we will give a brief summary of some recent work on two variational problems in Riemannian geometry. Although both involve the study of elementary symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor, as far as technique and motivation are concerned the problems are actually quite different. Résumé (Problèmes variationnels locaux et non-locaux en géométrie riemannienne) ...
متن کاملSome Topical Variational Geometry Problems in Computer Graphics
o Smooth interpolation of arbitrary curves and surfaces is a major problem in computer graphics. There are very successful variational formulations of similar problems in smooth interpolation of arbitrary functions; these have given rise to the (linear) theory of splines. However, there appears to be as yet no equivalent useful formulation of the general problem, so present computer graphics al...
متن کاملConformal Geometry
Arrows in this diagram indicate input from one topic to another. Closely related topics are joined by lines. Conformal geometry is highly analogous to CR geometry, so their boxes are close together and arrows run in both directions. The left hand side of the diagram is largely algebraic. At the top of the diagram, Q-curvature and ambient metrics are specific aspects of conformal geometry, which...
