AbstractWe study/construct (proper and non-proper) Morse functions f on complete Riemannian manifolds X such that the hypersurfaces f(x) = t for all −∞ < t < +∞ have positive mean curvatures at all non-critical points x ∈ X of f. We show, for instance, that if X admits no such (not necessarily proper) function, then it contains a (possibly, singular) complete (possibly, compact) minimal hypersurface of finite volume.

In this chapter the metric space structure of shape is developed by studying the action of the infinite dimensional diffeomorphisms on the coordinate systems of shape. Riemannian manifolds allow us to developmetric distances between the groupelements. We examine the natural analog of the finite dimensional matrix groups corresponding to the infinite dimensional diffeomorphisms which are generated as flows of ordinary differential equations.We explore the construction of the metric structure of these diffeomorphisms and develop many of the properties which hold for the finite dimensional matrix groups in this infinite dimensional setting.

AbstractWe establish a second order smooth variational principle valid for functions defined on (possibly infinite-dimensional) Riemannian manifolds which are uniformly locally convex and have a strictly positive injectivity radius and bounded sectional curvature.

In this chapter the metric space structure of shape is developed. We do this by first studying the action of the matrix groups on the coordinate systems of shape. We begin by reviewing the well-known properties of the finite-dimensional matrix groups, including their properties as smooth Riemannian manifolds, allowing us to develop metric distances between the groupelements. We explore the construction of the metric structure of these diffeomorphisms and develop many of the properties which hold for the finite dimensional matrix groups and subsequently in the infinite dimensional setting as well.

The Universe

A framework is developed enabling the global analysis of the stability of cosmological models using the local geometric characteristics of the infinite-dimensional superspace, i.e. using the generalized Jacobi equation reformulated for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We give a direct formalism for dynamical analysis in the superspace, the requisite equation pertinent for stability analysis of the universe by means of generalized covariant and Fermi derivative is derived. Then, the relevant definitions and formulae are retrieved for cosmological models with a scalar field.

Quantitative Theory

For a given Riemannian manifold M and its submanifold N, one can find various types of geodesies on M starting from any point of N and ending in any point of N. For example, geodesies which start perpendicularly from N and end perpendicularly in N are treated by many mathematicians. K. Grove has stated a condition in a general case for the existence of such a geodesic ([4]), where he has used the method of the infinite dimensional critical point theory. This method is very useful for the study of geodesies and many geometricians have used it successfully. It has two aspects: one is an existence theory and the other is a quantitative theory, which one can find, for instance, in the excellent theory for closed geodesies of W. Klingenberg ([1], [7]) and so on.

We present a variational formulation for the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system based on a free energy Lagrangian. This formulation is a systematic infinite-dimensional extension of the variational approach to the thermodynamics of discrete systems using the free energy, which complements the Lagrangian variational formulation using the internal energy developed in [F. Gay-Balmaz and H. Yoshimura, A Lagrangian variational formulation for nonequilibrium thermodynamics, Part II: Continuum systems, J. Geom. Phys. 111 (2017) 194–212] as one employs temperature, rather than entropy, as an independent variable. The variational derivation is first expressed in the material (or Lagrangian) representation, from which the spatial (or Eulerian) representation is deduced. The variational framework is intrinsically written in a differential-geometric form that allows the treatment of the Navier–Stokes–Fourier system on Riemannian manifolds.
