We generalize Milnor link invariants to all types of surface-links in $4$--space (possibly with boundary). This is achieved by using the notion of cut-diagram, which is a 2-dimensional generalization of Gauss diagrams, associated to…
In this paper, we establish the existence of an equidistributed sequence of nondegenerate closed geodesics for generic Finsler, symmetric Finsler and Riemannian metrics on every closed surface. The proof relies on the volume property of…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete local ring, and $G={\rm gr}_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$ be its associated graded ring. We introduce a homogenization technique which allows to relate $G$ to the special fiber and $R$ to the generic fiber of a…
We unearth the interconnection between various analytical methods which are widely used in the current literature to identify integrable nonlinear dynamical systems described by third-order nonlinear ordinary differentiable equations…
Just as gauge theory describes the parallel transport of point particles using connections on bundles, higher gauge theory describes the parallel transport of 1-dimensional objects (e.g. strings) using 2-connections on 2-bundles. A 2-bundle…
We present an introduction to the geometry of higher order vector and co-vector bundles (including higher order generalizations of the Finsler geometry and Kaluza--Klein gravity) and review the basic results on Clifford and spinor…
We first study the dynamics of the geodesic flow of a meromorphic connection on a Riemann surface, and prove a Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem describing recurrence properties and $\omega$-limit sets of geodesics for a meromorphic connection…
We develop an alternative view on the concept of connections over a vector bundle map, which consists of a horizontal lift procedure to a prolonged bundle. We further focus on prolongations to an affine bundle and introduce the concept of…
Variational and divergence symmetries are studied in this paper for the whole class of linear and nonlinear equations of maximal symmetry, and the associated first integrals are given in explicit form. All the main results obtained are…
Contact algebra is one of the main tools in region-based theory of space. In \cite{dmvw1, dmvw2,iv,i1} it is generalized by dropping the operation Boolean complement. Furthermore we can generalize contact algebra by dropping also the…
We introduce the homogeneous and piecewise multilinear extensions and the eigenvalue problem for locally Lipschitz function pairs, in order to develop a systematic framework for relating discrete and continuous min-max problems. This also…
We dualize previous work on generalized persistence diagrams for filtrations to cofiltrations. When the underlying space is a manifold, we express this duality as a Poincar\'e duality between their generalized persistence diagrams. A heavy…
The paper proved that every $C^2$-solution of a given first order PDEs system, regarded on the jet fibre bundle of order one $J^1(T,M)$, may be viewed as a "generalized harmonic map", via the least squares variational method. Our ideas are…
We find a covariant completion of the flat-space multi-galileon theory, preserving second-order field equations. We then generalise this to arrive at an enlarged class of second order theories describing multiple scalars and a single…
Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…
The communications and interrelations between different locations on the Earth's surface have far-reaching implications for both social and natural systems. Effective spatial analytics ideally require a spatial representation, where…
We introduce the calculus of neo-Peircean relations, a string diagrammatic extension of the calculus of binary relations that has the same expressivity as first order logic and comes with a complete axiomatisation. The axioms are obtained…
We develop a theory of graph algebras over general fields. This is modeled after the theory developed by Freedman, Lov\'asz and Schrijver in [22] for connection matrices, in the study of graph homomorphism functions over real edge weight…
In conventional gauge theory, a charged point particle is described by a representation of the gauge group. If we propagate the particle along some path, the parallel transport of the gauge connection acts on this representation. The…
This paper extends a recently introduced theory describing particle transport for random statistically homogeneous systems in which the distribution function p(s) for chord lengths between scattering centers is non-exponential. Here, we…
