Motivated by previous study on mean curvature flow and prescribed mean curvature flow on spatially compact space or asymptotically flat spacetime, in this work we will find sufficient conditions for the short time existence of prescribed…
This is an English translation of the following paper, published several years ago: Nikonorov Yu.G. On the geodesic diameter of surfaces with involutive isometry (Russian), Tr. Rubtsovsk. Ind. Inst., 2001, V. 9, 62-65, Zbl. 1015.53041. All…
We provide a reply to a comment by I. Goychuk arXiv:1708.04155, version v2 from 27 Aug 2017 (not under active consideration with Phys. Rev. Lett.), on our Letter E. Aghion, D. A. Kessler and E. Barkai, Phys. Rev. Lett., 118, 260601 (2017).
We describe the gauge-theoretic approach to transformations in integrable geometry through discussion of two classical examples: surfaces of constant negative Gauss curvature and isothermic surfaces. These are purely expository notes…
This paper, which is meant to be a tribute to Minkowski's geometrical insight, rests on the idea that the basic observed symmetries of spacetime homogeneity and of isotropy of space, which are displayed by the spacetime manifold in the…
In this paper we have introduced a new symmetry property of spacetime which is named as semiconformal curvature collineation, and its relationship with other known symmetry properties has been established. This new symmetry property of the…
In this note we comment on remarks about our recent effort to understand the specificities of the Boltzmann equation in the context of the alternative theories of gravity with non-minimal coupling between curvature and matter.
This is an introduction (in German) to projective geometry by the late Heinz Lueneburg. Projective spaces are treated as lattices with particular properties, and finite geometries receive special attention. The final chapters deal with…
These are course notes I wrote for my Fall 2013 graduate topics course on geometric structures, taught at ICERM. The notes rework many of proofs in William P. Thurston's beautiful but hard-to-understand paper, "Shapes of Polyhedra". A…
The notions of (metric) hypersurface data were introduced in [Mars,2013] as a tool to analyze, from an abstract viewpoint, hypersurfaces of arbitrary signature in pseudo-riemannian manifolds. In this paper, general geometric properties of…
We give a brief non-technical introduction to non-regular spacetime geometry. In particular, we discuss how curvature, and hence gravity, can be defined without a smooth (differential geometric) calculus.
This is a preliminary version of the paper for the Lecture Notes Series.
In relative locality theories the geometric properties of phase space depart from the standard ones given by the fact that spaces of momenta are linear fibers over a spacetime base manifold. In particular here it is assumed that the…
G\"ahler ([4],[5]) introduced and investigated the notion of 2-metric spaces and 2-normed spaces in sixties. These concepts are inspired by the notion of area in two dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we choose a fundamentally…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors as requested by the journal.
Inspired by the small sphere-limit for quasi-local energy we study local foliations of surfaces with prescribed mean curvature. Following the strategy used by Ye in 1991 to study local constant mean curvature foliations, we use a Lyapunov…
The recognition that physical space (or space-time) is curved is a product of the general theory of relativity, such as dramatically shown by the 1919 solar eclipse measurements. However, the mathematical possibility of non-Euclidean…
The problem of existence of spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in asymptotically flat spacetimes is considered for a class of asymptotically Schwarzschild spacetimes satisfying an interior condition. Using a barrier…
In this note, we discuss the mean curvature flow of graphs of maps between Riemannian manifolds. Special emphasis will be placed on estimates of the flow as a non-linear parabolic system of differential equations. Several global existence…
The present notes are based on a course on Cherednik algebras given by the first author at MIT in the Fall of 2009. Their goal is to give an introduction to Cherednik algebras, and to review the web of connections between them and other…
