Geometric tomography is a mathematical field that focuses on problems of reconstructing homogeneous often convex objects from tomographic data this might be X rays, projections, sections, brightness functions, or covariograms . More precisely, according to R.J.

Geometric analysis is a mathematics mathematical discipline at the interface of differential geometry and differential equations . It includes both the use of geometrical methods in the study of partial differential equation s when it is also known as geometric PDE , and the application of the theory of partial differential equations to geometry. It incorporates problems involving curves and surfaces, or domains with curved boundaries, but also the study of Riemannian manifold s in arbitrary dimension. The calculus of variations is sometimes regarded as part of geometric analysis, because differential equations arising from variational principle s have a strong geometric content. Geometric analysis also includes global analysis , which concerns the study of differential equations on manifolds, and the relationship between differential equations and topology .

In mathematics , specifically differential geometry , a geometric flow is the gradient flow associated to a functional on a manifold which has a geometric interpretation, usually associated with some curvature extrinsic or intrinsic curvature . They can be interpreted as flows on a moduli space for intrinsic flows or a parameter space for extrinsic flows . These are of fundamental interest in the calculus of variations , and include several famous problems and theories. Particularly interesting are their critical point mathematics critical point s. A geometric flow is also called a geometric evolution equation . Examples Extrinsic Extrinsic geometric flows are flows on embedded submanifold s, or more generally immersed submanifold s. In general they change both the Riemannian metric and the immersion. Mean curvature flow , as in soap film s critical points are minimal surface s Willmore flow , as in minimax eversion s of spheres Inverse mean curvature flow Intrinsic Intrinsic geometric flows are flows on the Riemannian metric , independent of any embedding or immersion.

Sometimes the subroutine s that draw the corresponding objects are called geometric primitives as well. The most primitive primitives are point and straight line segment, which were all that early vector graphics systems had. In constructive solid geometry , primitives are simple geometry geometric shapes such as a Cube geometry cube , cylinder geometry cylinder , sphere , cone geometry cone , Pyramid geometry pyramid , torus . Modern 2D computer graphics systems may operate with primitives which are lines segments of straight lines, circles and more complicated curves , as well as shapes boxes, arbitrary polygons, circles . A common set of two dimensional primitives includes lines, points, and polygon s, although some people prefer to consider triangles primitives, because every polygon can be constructed from triangles. All other graphic elements are built up from these primitives. In three dimensions, triangles or polygons positioned in three dimensional space can be used as primitives to model more complex 3D forms. In some cases, curves such as B zier curve s, circle s, etc. may be considered primitives in other cases, curves are complex forms created from many straight, primitive shapes.

This topic emphasises systematic development of formulas for calculating expected values associated with the geometric objects derived from random points, and can in part be viewed as a sophisticated branch of multivariate calculus. Stochastic geometry emphasises the random geometrical objects themselves.

In algebraic geometry , the geometric genus is a basic birational invariant p sub g sub of algebraic varieties and complex manifold s. Definition The geometric genus can be defined for non singular complex projective varieties and more generally for complex manifold s as the Hodge number h sup n ,0 sup equal to h sup 0, n sup by Serre duality , that is, the dimension of the Canonical bundle General case canonical linear system . In other words for a variety V of complex dimension n it is the number of linearly independent holomorphic n differential form forms to be found on V . ref Danilov & Shokurov 1998 , Google books quote id mU6ciaFCC1IC page 53 text geometric genus p. 53 ref This definition, as the dimension of H sup 0 sup V ,&Omega sup n sup then carries over to any base field mathematics field , when &Omega is taken to be the sheaf of K hler differential s and the power is the top exterior power , the canonical bundle canonical line bundle . The geometric genus is the first invariant p sub g sub P sub 1 sub of a sequence of invariants P sub n sub called the plurigenera . The case of curves In the case of complex varieties, the complex loci of non singular curves are Riemann surfaces . The algebraic definition of genus agrees with the genus of a surface topological notion . On a nonsingular curve, the canonical line bundle has degree 2g 2 . The notion of genus features prominently in the statement of the Riemann Roch theorem see also Riemann Roch theorem for algebraic curves and of the Riemann Hurwitz formula . If C is an irreducible and smooth hypersurface in the Algebraic geometry of projective spaces projective plane cut out by a polynomial equation of degree d , then its normal line bundle is the Serre twisting sheaf math mathcal O d math , so by the adjunction ...

Genus of singular varieties The definition of geometric genus is carried over classically to singular curves C , by decreeing that p sub g sub C is the geometric genus of the normalization ... more details
