# Notes on Differential Geometry with special emphasis on surfaces in R 3

title={Notes on Differential Geometry with special emphasis on surfaces in R 3},
author={Markus May}
}
These notes are an attempt to summarize some of the key mathematical aspects of differential geometry, as they apply in particular to the geometry of surfaces in R. The focus is not on mathematical rigor but rather on collecting some bits and pieces of the very powerful machinery of manifolds and “post-Newtonian calculus”. Even though the ultimate goal of elegance is a complete coordinate free description, this goal is far from being achieved here—not because such a description does not exist…

Geometry of catenoidal soap film collapse induced by boundary deformation.
• Physics
Physical review. E
• 2021
The overall analysis provides the basis for the systematic study of more complex problems of surface instabilities triggered by deformations of the supporting boundaries, including a systematic analysis of the linear and weakly nonlinear dynamics in the neighborhood of the saddle node bifurcation leading to collapse.
Quantified ensemble 3D surface features modeled as a window on centric diatom valve morphogenesis
Differences in ensemble 3D surface features may be used to assess structural differences among selected diatom genera as indicators of different valve formation sequences in surface generation and morphogenesis.

In this paper, we formulate the problem of elastodynamic transformation cloaking for Kirchoff–Love plates and elastic plates with both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements. A cloaking

On the example of today’s existing buildings and cities the tendency of using thin construction in modern world can be clearly noticed. To create new ideas and images engineers have to study new
Substrate curvature governs texture orientation in thin films of smectic block copolymers.

• 2020
This paper develops an effective two-dimensional model of thin films of striped-phase diblock copolymers on general curved substrates and determines the minimum-energy textures on several curved surfaces and arrives at a general principle for using substrate curvature as an ordering field.

The study of the energy of infinitesimal deformations is finally extended to include the third variation and the critical value of spontaneous curvature is obtained, below which oblate ellipsoids of a deformed sphere are more stable than prolate ones.

According to a model introduced by Helfrich [Z. Naturforsch. 28c, 693 (1973)], the shape of a closed lipid vesicle is determined by minimization of the total bending energy at fixed surface area and

Vesicle shapes of low energy are studied for two variants of a continuum model for the bending energy of the bilayer, which lead to different predictions for typical trajectories, such as budding trajectories or oblate-stomatocyte transitions.
