Schur's lemma (Riemannian geometry)

In Riemannian geometry, Schur's lemma is a result that says, heuristically, whenever certain curvatures are pointwise constant then they are forced to be globally constant. The proof is essentially a one-step calculation, which has only one input: the second Bianchi identity. (Wikipedia).

Riemann Roch: structure of genus 1 curves

This talk is about the Riemann Roch theorem in the spacial case of genus 1 curves or Riemann surface. We show that a compact Riemann surface satisfying the Riemann Roch theorem for g=1 is isomorphic to a nonsingular plane cubic. We show that this is topologically a torus, and use this to s

Riemann Roch: plane curves

This talk is about some properties of plane curves used in the Riemann-Roch theorem. We first show that every nonsingular curve is isomorphic to a resolution of a plane curve with no singularities worse than ordinary double points (nodes). We then calculate the genus of plane curves with o

Riemann Roch: Proof, part 1

This talk is the first of two talks that give a proof of the Riemann Roch theorem, in the spacial case of nonsingular complex plane curves. We divide the Riemann-Roch theorem into 3 pieces: Riemann's theorem, a topological theorem identifying the three definitions of the genus, and Roch'

Riemann Roch: genus 3 curves

This talk is about the Riemann-Roch theorem for genus 3 curves. We show that any such curve is either hyperelliptic or a nonsingular plane quartic. We find the Weierstrass points and the holomorphic 1-forms and the canonical divisors of these curves. Finally we give a brief description of

Riemann Roch: genus 2 curves

This talk is about the Riemann-Roch theorem for genus 2 curves. We show that all genus 2 complex curves are hyperelliptic (meaning they are branched double covers of the projective line). We also describe the Weierstrass points and the holomorphic 1-forms explicitly. Finally we briefly su

How to find the position function given the acceleration function

👉 Learn how to approximate the integral of a function using the Reimann sum approximation. Reimann sum is an approximation of the area under a curve or between two curves by dividing it into multiple simple shapes like rectangles and trapezoids. In using the Reimann sum to approximate the

Riemannian Exponential Map on the Group of Volume-Preserving Diffeomorphisms - Gerard Misiolek

Gerard Misiolek University of Notre Dame; Institute for Advanced Study October 19, 2011 In 1966 V. Arnold showed how solutions of the Euler equations of hydrodynamics can be viewed as geodesics in the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. This provided a motivation to study the geome

Riemann Sum Defined w/ 2 Limit of Sums Examples Calculus 1

I show how the Definition of Area of a Plane is a special case of the Riemann Sum. When finding the area of a plane bound by a function and an axis on a closed interval, the width of the partitions (probably rectangles) does not have to be equal. I work through two examples that are rela

Yoshihiro Ohnita: Minimal Maslov number of R-spaces canonically embedded in Einstein-Kähler C-spaces

An R-space is a compact homogeneous space obtained as an orbit of the isotropy representation of a Riemannian symmetric space. It is known that each R-space has the canonical embedding into a Kähler C-space as a real form which is a compact embedded totally geodesic Lagrangian submanifold.
