Abstract:Locally convex (or nondegenerate) curves in the sphere S n (or the projective space) have been studied for several reasons, including the study of linear ordinary differential equations of order n + 1. Taking Frenet frames allows us to obtain corresponding curves Γ in the group Spin n+1 ; recall that Π : Spin n+1 → Flag n+1 is the universal cover of the space of flags. Let L n (z 0 ; z 1 ) be the space of such curves Γ with prescribed endpoints Γ(0) = z 0 , Γ(1) = z 1 . The aim of this paper is to determine th… Show more
