曲线空间上黎曼度量的Hamilton方法综述

An overview of the Riemannian metrics on spaces of curves using the Hamiltonian approach

Peter W. Michor, David Mumford

摘要:

这里的形空间是$\mathbb R^2$中的简单闭光滑非参数曲线的流形,或者是从$S^1$到$\mathbb R^2$模$S^1$的自同构群的浸入的轨道。本文研究了形状空间上的几种黎曼度量:$L^2$ -度量,它们分别由长度和曲率的表达式加权.这些度量包括尺度不变度量和夹在两个长度加权度量之间的Wasserstein型度量。描述了曲线上$n$阶的Sobolev度量.这里切场的水平投影由一个伪微分算子给出。最后讨论了由Sobolev度量在$\mathbb R^2$上的同构群上导出的度量.虽然商度量都是由伪微分算子给出的,但它们的逆是由光滑核的卷积给出的。我们能够证明这两种Sobolev度量的测地线方程解的局部存在唯一性。我们感兴趣的是所有的守恒量,所以本文从哈密顿设置和计算守恒动量和测地线一般的浸入空间。对于每个度量,我们计算形状空间上的测地线方程。最后,我们在一些例子中概述了这些指标之间的差异。

英文摘要:

Here shape space is either the manifold of simple closed smooth unparameterized curves in $\mathbb R^2$ or is the orbifold of immersions from $S^1$ to $\mathbb R^2$ modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^1$. We investige several Riemannian metrics on shape space: $L^2$-metrics weighted by expressions in length and curvature. These include a scale invariant metric and a Wasserstein type metric which is sandwiched between two length-weighted metrics. Sobolev metrics of order $n$ on curves are described. Here the horizontal projection of a tangent field is given by a pseudo-differential operator. Finally the metric induced from the Sobolev metric on the group of diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb R^2$is treated. Although the quotient metrics are all given by pseudo-differential operators, their inverses are given by convolution with smooth kernels. We are able to prove local existence and uniqueness of solution to the geodesic equation for both kinds of Sobolev metrics. We are interested in all conserved quantities, so the paper starts with the Hamiltonian setting and computes conserved momenta and geodesics in general on the space of immersions. For each metric we compute the geodesic equation on shape space. In the end we sketch in some examples the differences between these metrics.
