Harmonic symmetrization of convex sets and of Finsler structures, with applications to Hilbert geometry

Marc Troyanov

David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to any convex domain

\Omega

in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof assumes a certain degree of smoothness of t ...

Differential geometry: a natural tool for describing symmetry operations

Gervais Chapuis, Kurt Schenk

Differential geometry provides a useful mathematical framework for describing the fundamental concepts in crystallography. The notions of point and associated vector spaces correspond to those of manifold and tangent space at a given point. A space-group o ...

Differential geometry applied to crystallography

The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...
