The local kinematic formulas on complex space forms induce the structure of a commutative algebra on the space CurvU(n)∗ of dual unitarily invariant curvature measures. Building on the recent results from integral geometry in complex space forms, we describe this algebra structure explicitly as a polynomial algebra. This is a short way to encode all local kinematic formulas. We then characterize the invariant valuations on complex space forms leaving the space of invariant angular curvature measures fixed.

We prove Gaus-Bonnet-type and Chern-Lashof-type formulas for immersions in hyperbolic space. Moreover we investigate the notion of tightness with respect to horospheres introduced by T.E. Cecil and P.J. Ryan. We introduce the notions of top-set and drop-set, and we prove fundamental properties of horo-tightness in hyperbolic spaces.

In this article we introduce and investigate linear combinations of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. For this purpose we use some linear structure in the space of horospheres.

We consider the measure of points, the measure of lines and the measure of planes intersecting a given convex body K in a space form. We obtain some integral formulas involving the width of K and the curvature of its boundary ∂K. Also we study the special case of constant width. Moreover we obtain a generalisation of the Heintze–Karcher inequality to space forms.

We revisit the contact measures introduced by Firey, and further developed by Schneider and Teufel, from the perspective of the theory of valuations on manifolds. This reveals a link between the kinematic formulas for area measures studied by Wannerer and the integral geometry of curved isotropic spaces. As an application we find explicitly the kinematic formula for the surface area measure in hermitian space., Comment: 15 pages

We extend classical Cauchy formulas and Crofton formulas to the Lorentz-Minkowski space, and to constant curvature Lorentz spaces.

Using results from integral geometry, we find inequalities involving mean curvature integrals of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. Such inequalities generalize the Minkowski formulas for euclidean convex sets.

We give an integral-geometric proof of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for hypersurfaces in constant curvature spaces. As a tool, we obtain variation formulas in integral geometry with interest in its own.

In n-dimensional Euclidean space, the measure of hyperplanes intersecting a convex domain is proportional to the (n−2)-mean curvature integral of its boundary. This question was considered by Santalo in hyperbolic space. In non-Euclidean geometry the totally geodesic hypersurfaces are not always the best analogue to linear hyperplanes. In some situations horospheres play the role of Euclidean hyperplanes.

We construct examples of surfaces in hyperbolic space which do not satisfy the Chern–Lashof inequality (which holds for immersed surfaces in Euclidean space). To cite this article: R. Langevin, G. Solanes, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 336 (2003).

We generalize the classical formulas of integral geometry, by getting integral geometric formulas for the intersection of a fixed compact hypersurface of hyperbolic space and a moving totally umbilical hypersurface. In particular we compute the mean value of the volume, the total mean curvatures and the Euler characteristic of these intersections when the totally umbilical hypersurface moves over all the intersecting positions. Analogous formulas are given for totally umbilical hypersurfaces contained in totally geodesic planes of ℍn.
