Hans Hagen, Differential Geometry as a ” tool box” and Killing Vector Fields — a concept for simulation and scientific visualization?

There will be two short presentations:

Title: Differential Geometry as a ” tool box”

Abstract:

Geometric Modelling Algorithms need a strong mathematical basis.
One is Differential Geometry. We present in this talk some basic concepts
in an “intuitive way”. Geometry has a lot to do with intuition and imagination.
Same “tools” work in geometric modelling, some do not.
After this introductionary talk we will and should have a constructive and critical discussion.

Title: Killing Vector Fields — a concept for simulation and scientific visualization?

Abstract:

Killing Vector Fields ( named after Wolfgang Killing) are infinitesimal generators of isometries.
The flow generated by these fields are continuous isometries of the surface.
There is no distortion moving long these directions.
We present in this talk the basic ideas and the PDE system, which has to be solved.
