Explores geodesic convexity and its extension to optimization on manifolds, emphasizing the preservation of the key fact that local minima imply global minima.
Explores defining tangent vectors without an embedding space, focusing on creating tangent spaces at every point of a manifold through equivalence classes of curves.
Explores the dynamics of steady Euler flows on Riemannian manifolds, covering ideal fluids, Euler equations, Eulerisable flows, and obstructions to exhibiting plugs.
Explores the importance of differentiating vector fields and the correct methodology to achieve it, emphasizing the significance of going beyond the first order.
