Duality for Immersed Manifolds Daniel Dreibelbis University of North Florida USA
Outline • Define duals and dual generalizations. • Describe the singularities of duals of hypersurfaces. • Define dual sphere bundles, and connect their singularities. • Specific examples: asymptotic and binormal vectors for immersed manifolds • Explicit examples for surfaces in 4-D and 3-manifolds in 6-D
Examples: Surfaces in R4 Asymptotic Directions vs. Binormal Directions at a point
Examples: Surfaces in R4 Asymptotics Binormals
Examples: 3-manifolds in R6 Asymptotic Directions vs. Binormal Directions at a point Away from inflection points, asymptotic vectors and binormal vectors are projectively equivalent.
Examples: 3-manifolds in R6 At inflections, the curves may or may not be projectively equivalent.
