Is there an explicit formula for the hessian of "Determinant"?
Let $f: G= \mbox{GL}(n,\mathbb{R}) \to \mathbb{R}$ be the determinant function.
Then $\mbox{Hess} (f)$ is a two linear map on $M_{n}(\mathbb{R})\simeq T_{e}(G)$ where $e$ is the neutral element of $G$ …

Are there some intrinsic invariants of surfaces other than Gaussian curvature?
The principal curvatures of a surface is denoted by $\kappa_{1}, \kappa_{2}$.
Let $P(x,y)$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. Assume that $P(\kappa_{1}, \kappa_{2})$ is an intrinsically inv …

Finding a 1-form adapted to a smooth flow
If the vector field is geodesible then such $1$ - form exists.
A geodesible flow on a manifold $M$ is a one dimensional foliation associated with a non vanishing vector field such that …

The perturbation of non-Hamiltonian algebraic vector fields
In this question, we are interested in the number of limit cycles which appears in the following perturbational system:
\begin{equation}\cases{
x'=y -x^{2}+\epsilon P(x,y) \\
y'=-x+\epsilon Q(x,y) }

A very torsioned closed curve in space
Is there a simple smooth closed curve $\gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ such that for all $x,y\in \gamma$ with $x \neq y $, $l_{x}$ and $l_{y}$ are skew lines, where $l_{x} $ and $l_{y}$ are s …

Are there vector fields which are gradients with respect to one metric but not another?
Consider the vector field $$X=(y-10x)\partial_x-x\partial_y$$ it is not a gradient vector field with respect to the standard Riemannian metric of $\mathbb{R}^2$ but it is a gradient …

Lie subalgebras of $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ of codimension $n = \dim M$
For a connected $n$-manifold $M$, the Lie algebra of all smooth vector fields is denoted by $\chi^{\infty}(M)$. For a point $p\in M$ we define $L_{p}=\{X\in \chi^{\infty}(M)\mid X(p)=0\}$. Of course …
