In this paper, we use the convexity of distance function between geodesics in a singular Hadamard space to generalize Hadamard-Cartan theorem for 2-dimensional metric spaces. We also determine a neighborhood of a closed geodesic where no other closed geodesic exists in a complete space of nonpositive curvature.

We establish a sufficient condition for a simple closed curve in the Euclidean plain $\mathbb{R}^2$, the unit sphere $S^2$ or the hyperbolic plane $H^2$ to be the boundary of a metric ball.

In this paper, two procedures of enumerating the axial rotation are proposed using the unit sphere of the spherical rotation coordinate system specifying 3D rotation. If the trajectory of the movement is known, the integration of the axial component of the angular velocity plus the geometric effect equal to the enclosed area subtended by the geodesic path on the surface of the unit sphere. If the postures of the initial and final positions are known, the axial rotation is determined by the angular difference from the parallel transport along the geodesic path. The path dependency of the axial rotation of the three dimensional rigid body motion is due to the geometric effect corresponding to the closed loop discontinuity. Firstly, the closed loop discontinuity is examined for the infinitesimal region. The general closed loop discontinuity can be evaluated by the summation of those discontinuities of the infinitesimal regions forming the whole loop. This general loop discontinuity is equal to the surface area enclosed by the closed loop on the surface of the unit sphere. Using this quantification of the closed loop discontinuity of the axial rotation, the geometric effect is determined in enumerating the axial rotation. As an example, the axial rotation of the arm by the Codman's movement is evaluated, which other methods of enumerating the axial rotations failed.

In the recent papers, S'anchez-Reyes [Appl. Math. Model. 40 (2016), 1676-1682] described the method for finding a minimal surface through a geodesic, and Li et al. [Appl. Math. Model. 37 (2013), 6415-6424] studied the approximation of minimal surfaces with a geodesic from Dirichlet function. In the present article, we consider an isoparametric surface generated by Frenet frame of a curve introduced by Wang et al. [Comput. Aided Des. 36 (2004), 447-459], and give the necessary and sufficient condition to satisfy both geodesic of the curve and minimality of the surface. From this, we construct minimal surfaces in terms of constant curvature and torsion of the curve. As a result, we present a new approach for constructions of the minimal surfaces from a prescribed closed geodesic and unclosed geodesic, and show some new examples of minimal surfaces with a circle and a helix as a geodesic. Our approach can be used in design of minimal surfaces from geodesics.

In this paper, we show that a short simple closed geodesic in quaternionic hyperbolic 2-manifold has an embedded tubular neighborhood whose width only depends on the length of the geodesic.

Let C be a closed convex set in ${\mathbb{S}}^m$ or ${\mathbb{H}}^m$. Assume that ${\Sigma}$ is an n-dimensional compact minimal submanifold outside C such that ${\Sigma}$ is orthogonal to ${\partial}C$ along ${\partial}{\Sigma}{\cap}{\partial}C$ and ${\partial}{\Sigma}$ lies on a geodesic sphere centered at a fixed point $p{\in}{\partial}{\Sigma}{\cap}{\partial}C$ and that r is the distance in ${\mathbb{S}}^m$ or ${\mathbb{H}}^m$ from p. We make use of a modified volume $M_p({\Sigma})$ of ${\Sigma}$ and obtain a sharp relative isoperimetric inequality $$\frac{1}{2}n^n{\omega}_nM_p({\Sigma})^{n-1}{\leq}Vol({\partial}{\Sigma}{\sim}{\partial}C)^n$$, where ${\omega}_n$ is the volume of a unit ball in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ Equality holds if and only if ${\Sigma}$ is a totally geodesic half ball centered at p.

CAT(0) cubical complexes are a key to formulate geodesic spaces with nonpositive curvatures. The paper discusses the median structure of CAT90) cubical complexes. Especially, the underlying graph of a CAT(0) cubical complex is a median graph. Using the idea of median structure, this paper shows that groups acting on median complexes L(${\delta}$) groups and, in addition, work L(0) groups are closed under free product.

In the present paper, we discuss the rigidity phenomenon of closed minimal submanifolds in a locally symmetric Riemannian manifold with pinched sectional curvature. We show that if the sectional curvature of the submanifold is no less than an explicitly given constant, then either the submanifold is totally geodesic, or the ambient space is a sphere and the submanifold is isometric to a product of two spheres or the Veronese surface in $S^4$.

We study the Ihara zeta function of the dumbbell graph $D_{1,1,n}$ of type (1, 1, n) and $D_{1,2,n}$ of type (1, 2, n). Explicit formulas of the zeta functions of the graphs, their radius of convergence, and the connection with the number of closed cycles are given.

This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension $n{\geq}2$ in the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ of constant sectional curvature evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power ${\beta}{\geq}1$ of the mean curvature. The main result is that if the initial closed, weakly h-convex hypersurface satisfies that the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvature at everywhere is close enough to 1, depending only on n and ${\beta}$, then under the flow this is maintained, there exists a unique, smooth solution of the flow which converges to a single point in ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ in a maximal finite time, and when rescaling appropriately, the evolving hypersurfaces exponential convergence to a unit geodesic sphere of ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$.
