Marcos Craizer obtained his Ph.D. at IMPA in 1989 and is a professor at the Math Department of PUC-Rio since 1988. His research area lies between Affine Differential Geometry and Singularity Theory. He is also interested in Discrete Geometry, considering its applications to Computer Vision.

Research Results

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

  • Improper affine spheres. There is a strong connection between Area Distance and non-convex Improper Affine Spheres that was explored in [1] and [2]. In [5], one can find a classification of stable singularities of convex Improper Affine Spheres.
  • Volume distance to hypersurfaces. Although the Area Distance in the plane is an Improper Affine Sphere, this property does not hold in higher dimensions. Nevertheless, the volume distance have some nice affine differential properties [4].
  • Affine evolutes and symmetry sets. In [7], several properties of the Area Evolute and Center Symmetry Set are described. A discrete version of these results can be found in [6]. In [3], one can find a discrete version of the Affine Evolute, Affine Distance Symmetry Set. In the same paper there are discrete versions of the the Six Vertex Theorem and an affine isoperimetric inequality.
