Here, it is introduced a concept of convolution metric in Finslerian Geometry. This convolution metric is a kind of function obtained by a given mathematical operation between two Finslerian metrics. Some basic properties of the Finslerian…

This paper considers metrics whose curvature tensor makes sense as a distribution. A class of such metrics, the regular metrics, was defined and studied by Geroch and Traschen. Here, we generalize their definition to form a wider class:…

A generalization of metric space is presented which is shown to admit a theory strongly related to that of ordinary metric spaces. To avoid the topological effects related to dropping any of the axioms of metric space, first a new, and…

Extending the `metric spaces' of Lawvere, we study `real metrics', with values in the extended real line. Formally, this ordered set is a symmetric monoidal closed category, and our structures are enriched categories on the latter.…

In this note, we consider two Riemannian metrics on a moduli space of metric graphs. Each of them could be thought of as an analogue of the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of metric graphs. We discuss and compare geometric…

It is a classical fact, that given an arbitrary n-dimensional convex body, there exists an appropriate sequence of Minkowski symmetrizations (or Steiner symmetrizations), that converges in Hausdorff metric to a Euclidean ball. Here we…

In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of a N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical…

We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…

The lightlike geometry of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space has been developed in [Izumiya, S. and Romero Fuster, M. C. Selecta Mathematica (NS), 13 23--55 (2007)] which is a natural Lorentzian analogue of…

We give conditions characterizing equality in the Minkowski inequality for big divisors on a projective variety. Our results draw on the extensive history of research on Minkowski inequalities in algebraic geometry.

Datasets consisting of objects such as shapes, networks, images, or signals overlaid on such geometric objects permeate data science. Such datasets are often equipped with metrics that quantify the similarity or divergence between any pair…

The local Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space with values in a space of tensor measures. They generalize at the same time the intrinsic volumes, the curvature measures and the isometry covariant…

We explore models with emergent gravity and metric by means of numerical simulations. A particular type of two-dimensional non-linear sigma-model is regularized and discretized on a quadratic lattice. It is characterized by lattice…

We study maps of bounded variation defined on a metric measure space and valued into a metric space. Assuming the source space to satisfy a doubling and Poincar\'e property, we produce a well-behaved relaxation theory via approximation by…

The study of symmetries in the realm of manifolds can be approached in two different ways. On one hand, Killing vector fields on a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold correspond to the directions of local isometries within it. On the other hand,…

Bilinear estimates for the wave equation in Minkowski space are normally proven using the Fourier transform and Plancherel's theorem. However, such methods are difficult to carry over to non-flat situations (such as wave equations with…
