    On Rigidity of Generalized Conformal Structures

    Full text link
    The classical Liouville Theorem on conformal transformations determines local conformal transformations on the Euclidean space of dimension ≥3\geq 3. Its natural adaptation to the general framework of Riemannian structures is the 2-rigidity of conformal transformations, that is such a transformation is fully determined by its 2-jet at any point. We prove here a similar rigidity for generalized conformal structures defined by giving a one parameter family of metrics (instead of scalar multiples of a given one) on each tangent space

    Real and discrete holomorphy : Introduction to an algebraic approach

    We consider spaces for which there is a notion of harmonicity for complex valued functions defined on them. For instance, this is the case of Riemannian manifolds on one hand, and (metric) graphs on the other hand. We observe that it is then possible to define an "amazing" notion of holomorphic functions on them, and show how rigid it is in some cases
