Let M be a compact connected oriented (n - 1)-dimensional manifold without boundary. In this work, shape space is the orbifold of unparametrized immersions from M to R ''. The results of M. Bauer, P. Harms, P.W. Michor (2001) [1] where mean curvature weighted metrics were studied, suggest incorporating Gauss curvature weights in the definition of the metric. This leads us to study metrics on shape space that are induced by metrics on the space of immersions of the formG(f)(h, k) = integral(M) Phi.(g) over bar (h, k) vol (f*(g) over bar).Here f is an element of Imm(M, R '') is an immersion of M into R '' and h, k is an element of C-infinity(M, R '') are tangent vectors at f. (g) over bar is the standard metric on R-n, j*(g) over bar is the induced metric on M, vol(f*(g) over bar) is the induced volume density and Phi is a suitable smooth function depending on the mean curvature and Gauss curvature. For these metrics we compute the geodesic equations both on the space of immersions and on shape space and the conserved momenta arising from the obvious symmetries. Numerical experiments illustrate the behavior of these metrics. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
