In Riemannian geometry, the Gauss–Codazzi–Mainardi equations are fundamental equations in the theory of embedded hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space, and more generally submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds. They also have applications for embedded hypersurfaces of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. In the classical differential geometry of surfaces, the Gauss–Codazzi–Mainardi equations consist of a pair of related equations. The first equation, sometimes called the Gauss equation, relates the ''intrinsic curvature'' (or Gauss curvature) of the surface to the derivatives of the Gauss map, via the second fundamental form. This equation is the basis for Gauss's theorema egregium.〔.〕 The second equation, sometimes called the Codazzi–Mainardi equation, is a structural condition on the second derivatives of the Gauss map. It was named for Gaspare Mainardi (1856) and Delfino Codazzi (1868–1869), who independently derived the result,〔.〕 although it was discovered earlier by .〔.〕 It incorporates the ''extrinsic curvature'' (or mean curvature) of the surface. The equations show that the components of the second fundamental form and its derivatives along the surface completely classify the surface up to a Euclidean transformation, a theorem of Ossian Bonnet.〔.〕 ==Formal statement== Let i : ''M'' ⊂ ''P'' be an ''n''-dimensional embedded submanifold of a Riemannian manifold ''P'' of dimension ''n''+''p''. There is a natural inclusion of the tangent bundle of ''M'' into that of ''P'' by the pushforward, and the cokernel is the normal bundle of ''M'': : The metric splits this short exact sequence, and so : Relative to this splitting, the Levi-Civita connection ∇′ of ''P'' decomposes into tangential and normal components. For each ''X'' ∈ T''M'' and vector field ''Y'' on ''M'', : Let : Gauss' formula〔Terminology from Spivak, Volume III.〕 now asserts that ∇X is the Levi-Civita connection for ''M'', and α is a ''symmetric'' vector-valued form with values in the normal bundle. It is often referred to as the second fundamental form. An immediate corollary is the Gauss equation. For ''X'', ''Y'', ''Z'', ''W'' ∈ T''M'', : where ''R''′ is the Riemann curvature tensor of ''P'' and ''R'' is that of ''M''. The Weingarten equation is an analog of the Gauss formula for a connection in the normal bundle. Let ''X'' ∈ T''M'' and ξ a normal vector field. Then decompose the ambient covariant derivative of ξ along ''X'' into tangential and normal components: : Then # ''Weingarten's equation'': # ''D''X is a metric connection in the normal bundle. There are thus a pair of connections: ∇, defined on the tangent bundle of ''M''; and ''D'', defined on the normal bundle of ''M''. These combine to form a connection on any tensor product of copies of T''M'' and T⊥''M''. In particular, they defined the covariant derivative of α: : The Codazzi–Mainardi equation is : Since every immersion is, in particular, a local embedding, the above formulas also hold for immersions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gauss–Codazzi equations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
