Electronic Structure and Electron-transport Properties of Peanut-shaped C_(60) Polymers with a Negative Gauss Curvature

1 Results When a C60 film was irradiated with electron-beam (EB) with an incident energy of 3 kV, a peanut-shaped C60 polymer with metallic properties was formed[1], as shown in Fig.1. To elucidate the origin of the metallic properties of the peanut-shaped polymer, we examined the valence photoelectron spectra of the polymer using in situ high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and found that the electronic states of the polymer came across the Fermi level (EF)[2]. Interestingly, the spectral shape i...

Evolution Equation of the Gauss Curvature under Hypersurface Flows and Its Applications

In this paper, we derive evolution equation of the integral of the Gauss curvature on an evolving hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a monotone quantity on the level surface of the potential function on a 3-dimensional steady gradient Ricci soliton with positive sectional curvature, and prove that such a soliton is rotationally symmetric outside of a compact set under a curvature decaying assumption. Along the way we will also apply our evolution equation to some other cases.

Remark on Gauss curvature equations on punctured disk

We give a new argument on the classification of solutions of Gauss curvature equation on R2,which was first proved by W.Chen and C.Li[Duke Math.J.,1991,63(3):615-622].Our argument bases on the decomposition properties of the Gauss curvature equation on the punctured disk.

ON HOLOMORPHIC CURVES OF CONSTANT CURVATURE IN THE COMPLEX GRASSMANN MANIFOLD G(2,5)

In this article, it is proved that there doesn’t exist any nonsingular holomorphic sphere in complex Grassmann manifold G（2, 5） with constant curvature k = 4/7, 1/2, 4/9. Thus, from [7] it follows that if φ ： S2 → G（2, 5） is a nonsingular holomorphic curve with constant curvature K, then, K = 4, 2, 4/3, 1 or 4/5.

Totally Real Surfaces of the Cayley Projective Plane with Parallel Mean Curvature Vector

It has been shown, under certain conditions on the Gauss curvature, every totally real surface of the Cayley projective plane with parallel mean curvature vector is either flat or totally geodesic.

曲面上的曲率在理论物理中的一些应用

In this survey article,we present two applications of surface curvatures in theoretical physics.The first application arises from biophysics in the study of the shape of cell vesicles involving the minimization of a mean curvature type energy called the Helfrich bending energy.In this formalism,the equilibrium shape of a cell vesicle may present itself in a rich variety of geometric and topological characteristics.We first show that there is an obstruction,arising from the spontaneous curvature,to the existence of a minimizer of the Helfrich energy over the set of embedded ring tori.We then propose a scale-invariant anisotropic bending energy,which extends the Canham energy,and show that it possesses a unique toroidal energy minimizer,up to rescaling,in all parameter regime.Furthermore,we establish some genus-dependent topological lower and upper bounds,which are known to be lacking with the Helfrich energy,for the proposed energy.We also present the shape equation in our context,which extends the Helfrich shape equation.The second application arises from astrophysics in the search for a mechanism for matter accretion in the early universe in the context of cosmic strings.In this formalism,gravitation may simply be stored over a two-surface so that the Einstein tensor is given in terms of the Gauss curvature of the surface which relates itself directly to the Hamiltonian energy density of the matter sector.This setting provides a lucid exhibition of the interplay of the underlying geometry,matter energy,and topological characterization of the system.In both areas of applications,we encounter highly challenging nonlinear partial differential equation problems.We demonstrate that studies on these equations help us to gain understanding of the theoretical physics problems considered.

Generalized Solution of a Kind of Nonparametric Curvature Evolution with Boundary Condition

The existence and uniqueness of the generalized solution for a kind of nonparametric curvature flow problem are obtained. This kind of curvature flow problem describes the evolution of graphs with speed depending on the reciprocal of the Gauss curvature.

Retrieving Topological Information of Implicitly Represented Diffuse Interfaces with Adaptive Finite Element Discretization

We consider the finite element based computation of topological quantities of implicitly represented surfaces within a diffuse interface framework.Utilizing an adaptive finite element implementation with effective gradient recovery techniques,we discuss how the Euler number can be accurately computed directly from the numerically solved phase field functions or order parameters.Numerical examples and applications to the topological analysis of point clouds are also presented.
