Manifold submetries of the round sphere are a class of partitions of the round sphere that generalizes both singular Riemannian foliations, and the orbit decompositions by the orthogonal representations of compact groups. We exhibit a one-to-one correspondence between such manifold submetries and maximal Laplacian algebras, thus solving the Inverse Invariant Theory problem for this class of partitions. Moreover, a solution to the analogous problem is provided for two smaller classes, namely orthogonal representations of finite groups, and transnormal systems with closed leaves.
In this work we consider a question in the calculus of variations motivated by riemannian geometry, the isoperimetric problem. We show that solutions to the isoperimetric problem, close in the flat norm to a smooth submanifold, are themselves smooth and $C^{2,alpha}$-close to the given sub manifold. We show also a version with variable metric on the manifold. The techniques used are, among other, the standards outils of linear elliptic analysis and comparison theorems of riemannian geometry, Allards regularity theorem for minimizing varifolds, the isometric immersion theorem of Nash and a parametric version due to Gromov.
We show that the travel time difference functions, measured on the boundary, determine a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary up to Riemannian isometry, if boundary satisfies a certain visibility condition. This corresponds with the inverse microseismicity problem. The novelty of our paper is a new type of a proof and a weaker assumption for the boundary than it has been presented in the literature before. We also construct an explicit smooth atlas from the travel time difference functions.
We investigate the geometric and topological structure of equidistant decompositions of Riemannian manifolds.
We relate finite generation of cones, monoids, and ideals in increasing chains (the local situation) to equivariant finite generation of the corresponding limit objects (the global situation). For cones and monoids there is no analogue of Noetherianity as in the case of ideals and we demonstrate this in examples. As a remedy we find local-global correspondences for finite generation. These results are derived from a more general framework that relates finite generation under closure operations to equivariant finite generation under general families of maps. We also give a new proof that non-saturated Inc-invariant chains stabilize, closing a gap in the literature.
We prove that the boundary distance map of a smooth compact Finsler manifold with smooth boundary determines its topological and differentiable structures. We construct the optimal fiberwise open subset of its tangent bundle and show that the boundary distance map determines the Finsler function in this set but not in its exterior. If the Finsler function is fiberwise real analytic, it is determined uniquely. We also discuss the smoothness of the distance function between interior and boundary points. We recall how the fastest $qP$-polarized waves in anisotropic elastic medium are a given as solutions of the second order hyperbolic pseudodifferential equation $(frac{p^2}{p t^2}-lambda^1(x,D))u(t,x)=h(t,x)$ on $R^{1+3}$, where $sqrt{lambda^1}$ is the Legendre transform of a fiberwise real analytic Finsler function $F$ on $R^3$. If $M subset R^3$ is a $F$-convex smooth bounded domain we say that a travel time of $u$ to $z in p M$ is the first time $t>0$ when the wavefront set of $u$ arrives in $(t,z)$. The aforementioned geometric result can then be utilized to determine the isometry class of $(overline M,F)$ if we have measured a large amount of travel times of $qP$-polarized waves, issued from a dense set of unknown interior point sources on $M$.
