Moving frames and differential invariants on fully affine planar curves (Q2186290)

By the affine analogue of the fundamental theorem for Euclidean planar curves, the authors classify the affine curves with constant affine curvatures. Note that they use the fully affine group and not the equi-affine subgroup consisting of area-preserving affine transformations. According to the equivariant method of moving frames, explicit formulas for the generating affine differential invariants and invariant differential operators are constructed. At the same time, by using the fact that the affine transformation group \(\mathrm{GA}(2,\mathbb R)\) can factor as a product of two subgroups \(B\cdot\mathrm{SE}(2,\mathbb R)\) and the moving frame of the subgroup \(\mathrm{SE}(2,\mathbb R)\), they build the moving frame of \(\mathrm{GA}(2,\mathbb R)\) and obtain the relations among invariants of the group \(\mathrm{GA}(2,\mathbb R)\) and its subgroup \(\mathrm{SE}(2,\mathbb R)\). In the last part of the paper, applying the affine curvature to recognize affine equivalent objects is considered.
