Skew Loops in Flat Tori
نویسنده
چکیده
We produce skew loops—loops having no pair of parallel tangent lines—homotopic to any loop in a flat torus or other quotient of Rn . The interesting case here is n = 3 . More subtly for any n , we characterize the homotopy classes that will contain a skew loop having a specified loop τ ⊂ S as tangent indicatrix.

We produce skew loops—loops that lack any pair of parallel tangent lines—homotopic to any loop in a flat torus, or any other quotient of Rn by a discrete subgroup. The interesting case here is n = 3 . More subtly for any n , we then characterize the homotopy classes that will contain a skew loop having a specified loop τ ⊂ S as tangent indicatrix.
متن کاملDynamic Stability of Moderately Thick Composite Laminated Skew Plates using Finite Strip Method
The dynamic instability regions of composite laminated skew flat plates subjected to uniform in-plane axial end-loading are investigated. The in-plane loading is assumed as a combination of a time-invariant component and a harmonic time-varying component uniformly distributed along two opposite panel ends’ width. In case of some loading frequency-amplitude pair-conditions, the model is subjecte...
متن کاملSkew Loops and Quadric Surfaces
A skew loop is a closed curve without parallel tangent lines. We prove: The only complete surfaces in R with a point of positive curvature and no skew loops are the quadrics. In particular: Ellipsoids are the only closed surfaces without skew loops. Our efforts also yield results about skew loops on cylinders and positively curved surfaces.
متن کاملThe Repetition Property for Sequences on Tori Generated by Polynomials or Skew-shifts
The repetition property of a sequence in a metric space, a notion introduced by us in an earlier paper, is of importance in the spectral analysis of ergodic Schrödinger operators. It may be used to exclude eigenvalues for such operators. In this paper we study the question of when a sequence on a torus that is generated by a polynomial or a skew-shift has the repetition property. This provides ...
