In this paper, we study natural paracontact magnetic trajectories in the unit tangent bundle, i.e., those that are associated to g-natural paracontact metric structures. We characterize slant natural paracontact magnetic trajectories as those satisfying a certain conservation law. Restricting to two-dimensional base manifolds of constant Gaussian curvature and to Kaluza–Klein type metrics on their unit tangent bundles, we give a full classification of natural paracontact slant magnetic trajectories (and geodesics).

We study the equation for improper (parabolic) affine spheres from the view point of contact geometry and provide the generic classification of singularities appearing in geometric solutions to the equation as well as their duals. We also show the results for surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature and for developable surfaces. In particular we confirm that generic singularities appearing in such a surface are just cuspidal edges and swallowtails.

AbstractIn the paper [1], the author formulates in Theorem 2 necessary conditions for integrability of a certain class of Hamiltonian systems with non-constant Gaussian curvature, which depends on local coordinates. We give a counterexample to show that this theorem is not correct in general. This contradiction is explained in some extent. However, the main result of this note is our theorem that gives new simple and easy to check necessary conditions to integrability of the system considered in [1]. We present several examples, which show that the obtained conditions are effective. Moreover, we justify that our criterion can be extended to wider class of systems, which are given by non-meromorphic Hamiltonian functions.

Abstract Inextensional shells that have no thickness are idealized representations of real shells that have small bending stresses and small deformations. With certain restrictions, the stresses in these shells are derivable from a generalized Airy function. For shells of constant Gaussian curvature, the stress function is unrestricted, but, for other shells, it is expressed as a function of the Gaussian curvature. Although, in this respect, it is less general than Pucher’s stress function, it has the advantage that it may be used with any surface co-ordinates.

This note is about the geometry of holomorphic foliations. Let X be a polynomial vector field with isolated singularities on C². We announce some results regarding two problems: 1. Given a finitely curved orbit L of X, under which conditions is L algebraic? 2. If X has some non-algebraic finitely curved orbit L what is the classification of X? Problem 1 is related to the following question: Let C <FONT FACE=Symbol>Ì</FONT> C² be a holomorphic curve which has finite total Gaussian curvature. IsC contained in an algebraic curve?

We describe shape transitions of thin, solid nematic sheets with smooth, preprogrammed, in-plane director fields patterned across the surface causing spatially inhomogeneous local deformations. A metric description of the local deformations is used to study the intrinsic geometry of the resulting surfaces upon exposure to stimuli such as light and heat. We highlight specific patterns that encode constant Gaussian curvature of prescribed sign and magnitude. We present the first experimental results for such programmed solids, and they qualitatively support theory for both positive and negative Gaussian curvature morphing from flat sheets on stimulation by light or heat. We review logarithmic spiral patterns that generate cone/anti-cone surfaces, and introduce spiral director fields that encode non-localized positive and negative Gaussian curvature on punctured discs, including spherical caps and spherical spindles. Conditions are derived where these cap-like, photomechanically responsive regions can be anchored in inert substrates by designing solutions that ensure compatibility with the geometric constraints imposed by the surrounding media. This integration of such materials is a precondition for their exploitation in new devices. Finally, we consider the radial extension of such director fields to larger sheets using nematic textures defined on annular domains.
