英文摘要：

In this paper we study 1/k-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length $L/k$, where $L$ is the length of the geodesic. We investigate the existence and behavior of these curves on doubled polygons and show that every doubled regular $n$-gon admits a $1/2n$-geodesic. For the doubled regular $p$-gons, with $p$ an odd prime, we conjecture that $k=2p$ is the minimum value for $k$ such that the space admits a $1/k$-geodesic.

Minimizing closed geodesics on polygons and disks

In this paper we study 1/k geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on all subintervals of length $L/k$, where $L$ is the length of the geodesic. We develop new techniques to study the minimizing properties of these curves on doubled polygons, and demonstrate a sequence of doubled polygons whose closed geodesics exhibit unbounded minimizing properties. We also compute the length of the shortest closed geodesic on doubled odd-gons and show that this length approaches 4 times the diameter.

On the corner contributions to the heat coefficients of geodesic polygons

Let $\mathcal O$ be a compact Riemannian orbisurface. We compute formulas for the contribution of cone points of~$\mathcal O$ to the coefficient at $t^2$ of the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace of $\mathcal O$, the contributions at $t^0$ and $t^1$ being known from the literature. As an application, we compute the coefficient at $t^2$ of the contribution of interior angles of the form $γ=π/k$ in geodesic polygons in surfaces to the asymptotic expansion of the Dirichlet heat kernel of the polygon, under a certain symmetry assumption locally near the corresponding corner. The main novelty h…

多边形的小变形

Small deformations of polygons

我们描述的一阶变化的角度的欧几里得，球形或双曲多边形下的无穷小变形，使长度的边缘不改变。利用这种描述，我们在等距变形空间上引入了一个向量值二次不变量$b$，它对凸多边形具有显著的正性。我们给出了两个几何应用。第一个是双曲多边形的等周性陈述：在给定边长的凸双曲多边形中，存在唯一的多边形，其顶点位于圆、水平圆或距离测地线恒定距离的点空间的一个连通分量上，并且它具有最大面积。第二个应用是对欧几里得空间中凸多面体的无穷小刚性的一个新的证明，以及对Minkowski空间中多面体曲面的一个新的刚性结果。最后，我们指出如何不变的$b$可以用来定义自然度量的凸球面（或双曲）多边形的空间与固定的边长。这些度量与平面中具有给定角度的凸多边形空间上的已知（和有趣的）度量有关。

对称空间上的凸函数、多边形的边长和无穷远处加权构形的稳定性不等式

Convex functions on symmetric spaces, side lengths of polygons and stability inequalities for weighted configurations at infinity

在非紧型对称空间X = G/K中，定向测地线线段对应于欧几里得外尔腔中的点。因此，我们可以将向量值边长分配给线段。我们的主要结果是一组描述闭多边形边长限制的齐次线性不等式。这些不等式是基于实Grassmannian群G/P中极大抛物子群P的模2 Schubert演算.

Convexity of asymptotic geodesics in Hilbert Geometry

If $Ω$ is the interior of a convex polygon in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $f,g$ two asymptotic geodesics, we show that the distance function $d\left(f\left(t\right),g\left(t\right)\right)$ is convex for $t$ sufficiently large. The same result is obtained in the case $\partial Ω$ is of class $C^{2}$ and the curvature of $\partial Ω$ at the point $f\left(\infty\right)=g\left(\infty\right) $ does not vanish. An example is provided for the necessity of the curvature assumption.

建筑物的多边形及其精化边长

Polygons in buildings and their refined side lengths

在非紧型对称空间中，人们可以将欧氏建筑中的定向测地线线段与欧氏外尔腔中的向量值长度联系起来;除了度量长度之外，它还包含关于线段方向的信息。本文研究了（厚）欧氏建筑物中多边形向量值边长的限制。主要的结果是，n-π的可能边长的集合只依赖于相关的球形考克斯特复形。我们还证明了它与半稳定加权组态在Tits边界上的向量值权空间一致。文献[KLM 1]研究了非紧型对称空间中多边形的边长。[KLM 3]给出了这两篇文章中几何结果在代数群理论中的应用。
