Smooth homomorphisms admit noetherian reductions
Nitin Nitsure
We give a short proof that any smooth (means formally smooth and finitely presented) homomorphism of rings can be obtained by base change from a smooth homomorphism of noetherian r…
On flat pullbacks for Chow groups
Nitin Nitsure
It is a fundamental property of the Chow groups of algebraic schemes that they are contra-functorial with respect to flat morphisms between schemes. While the pullback homomorphism…
My encounter with Seshadri and with the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem
Nitin Nitsure
C.S. Seshadri passed away in July 2020. The first part of this article contains some reminiscences from the early 1980s, when as a graduate student in the Tata Institute of Fundame…
Curvature, torsion and the quadrilateral gaps
Nitin Nitsure
For a manifold with an affine connection, we prove formulas which infinitesimally quantify the gap in a certain naturally defined open geodesic quadrilateral associated to a pair o…
Molding 3D curved structures by selective heating
Harsh Jain, Shankar Ghosh, Nitin Nitsure
It is of interest to fabricate curved surfaces in three dimensions from easily available homogeneous material in the form of flat sheets. The aim is not just to obtain a surface $M…
On the geometric phenomenology of static friction
Shankar Ghosh, A. P. Merin, Nitin Nitsure
In this note we introduce a hierarchy of phase spaces for static friction, which give a graphical way to systematically quantify the directional dependence in static friction via s…
