In the case of homogeneous spaces, such invariants are the flux (associated to translations) and the torque (associated to rotations). Then we focus on homogeneous spaces with isometry groups of dimensions 3 or 4 and study the behavior of these invariants under the action of isometries. Finally, we give examples of actual computations and of interpretations of these invariants in different situations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-26T06:02:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature surfaces", "homogeneous spaces", "killing vector fields", "variational problem", "isometry groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.6391C" } } }
