Departing from Levi non-degenerate hypersurfaces, treated in the classical Chern–Moser theory, we explore three important classes of manifolds, which naturally extend the classical case. We start with quadratic models for real submanifolds of higher codimension and review some recent striking results, which demonstrate that such higher codimension models may possess symmetries of arbitrarily high jet degree. This disproves the long held belief that the fundamental 2-jet determination results from Chern–Moser theory extend to this case. As a second case, we consider hypersurfaces with singular Levi form at a point, which are of finite multitype. This leads to the study of holomorphically nondegenerate polynomial models. We outline several results on their symmetry algebras including a characterization of models admitting nonlinear symmetries. In the third part we consider the class of structures with everywhere singular Levi forms that has received the most attention recently, namely everywhere 2-nondegenerate structures.

Serving as the cornerstone for various related graphics algorithms and operations, researchers have put forth numerous algorithms for discerning the concavity and convexity of such objects. The majority of existing methods primarily rely on Euclidean geometry, determining concavity and convexity by calculating the vertices of these objects. However, within the realm of Euclidean geometric space, there exists a lack of uniformity in the expression and calculation rules for geometric objects of differing dimensions. Consequently, distinct concavity and convexity detection algorithms must be tailored for geometric objects with varying dimensions. This approach inevitably results in heightened complexity and instability within the algorithmic structure. To address these aforementioned issues, this paper introduces geometric algebra theory into the domain of concavity and convexity detection within 3D spatial objects. With the algorithms devised in this study, it becomes feasible to detect concavity and convexity for geometric objects of varying dimensions, all based on a uniform set of criteria. In comparison to concavity-convexity detection algorithms grounded in Euclidean geometry, this research effectively streamlines the algorithmic structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7330,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141489601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
