On the Rigid-Ruling Folding of Curved Creases: Conjugate-Net Preserving Isometric Deformations of Semi-Discrete Globally Developable Conjugate-Nets

This paper investigates rigid-ruling folding motions of curved creases by deriving conditions for the foldability of developable semi-discrete conjugate nets and applying these findings to enable the sequential construction of foldable patterns and characterize the compatibility of planar and constant fold-angle creases.

Metrical Distortion, Exterior Differential and Gauss's Lemma

This paper revises Gauss's Lemma by introducing the concept of "metrical distortion" as a non-identity isometry between double tangential and tangential spaces, and concretely defines the exterior differential via covariant gradient transport to incorporate a "differential slip" representing scalar gauge theory, ultimately distinguishing between geodesically radial volume preservation (metrical distortion) and length preservation (exponential mapping) through the example of the 2-sphere.

Brackets in multicontact geometry and multisymplectization

This paper introduces a graded bracket of forms on multicontact manifolds that satisfies a graded Jacobi identity and Leibniz rules, utilizes multisymplectization to connect these structures to multisymplectic geometry for deriving field equations, and applies these findings to analyze observable evolution, dissipation phenomena, and classical dissipative field theories.
