Curvature measures may be regarded as \"localised`` versions of valuations which yield local information about the geometry of a body's boundary. A complete classification of continuous translation-invariant $SO(n)$-invariant valuations and curvature measures with values in $\\mathbb{R}$ were obtained by Hadwiger and Schneider, respectively. More recently, characterisation results have been achieved for curvature measures with values in $\\operatorname{Sym}^p \\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\\operatorname{Sym}^2\\!\\Lambda^{q} \\mathbb{R}^n$ for $p,q \\geq 1$ with varying assumptions as for their invariance properties. In the present work, we classify all smooth translation-invariant $SO(n)$-covariant curvature measures with values in any $SO(n)$-representation in terms of certain differential forms on the sphere bundle $S\\mathbb{R}^n$ and describe their behaviour under the globalisation map. The latter result also yields a similar classification of all continuous $SO(n)$-covariant valuations with values in any $SO(n)$-representation. Furthermore, a decomposition of the space of smooth translation-invariant $\\mathbb{R}$-valued curvature measures as an $SO(n)$-representation is obtained. As a corollary, we construct an explicit basis of continuous translation-invariant $\\mathbb{R}$-valued valuations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-07T18:53:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C65", "53A45", "58A10" ], "keywords": [ "euclidean spaces", "smooth translation-invariant", "yield local information", "continuous translation-invariant", "covariant curvature measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
