Since the end of the 19th century, and after the works of F. Klein and H. Poincar\'e, it is well known that models of elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry can be given using projective geometry, and that Euclidean geometry can be seen…

A two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime diagram is neatly represented on a Euclidean ordinary plane. However the Euclidean lengths of the lines on the diagram do not correspond to the true values of physical quantities in spacetime, except…

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…

There are many problems and configurations in Euclidean geometry that were never extended to the framework of (normed or) finite dimensional real Banach spaces, although their original versions are inspiring for this type of generalization,…

Embedding of the brane metric into Euclidean (2+4)-space is found. Brane geometry can be visualized as the surface of the hyper-sphere in six dimensions which 'radius' is governed by the cosmological constant. Minkowski space in this…

I present a way to visualize the concept of curved spacetime. The result is a curved surface with local coordinate systems (Minkowski Systems) living on it, giving the local directions of space and time. Relative to these systems, special…

By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…

We study the generalized analogues of conics for normed planes by using the following natural approach: It is well known that there are different metrical definitions of conics in the Euclidean plane. We investigate how these definitions…

The usual notion of set-convexity, valid in the classical Euclidean context, metamorphoses into several distinct convexity types in the more general Riemannian setting. By studying this phenomenon in reverse, we characterize complete…

This article is devoted to the study of classical and new results concerning equidistant sets, both from the topological and metric point of view. We start with a review of the most interesting known facts about these sets in the euclidean…

This paper is concerned with a covering problem of Euclidean space by a particular arrangement of cones that are not necessarily full and are allowed to overlap. The problem provides an equivalent geometric reformulation of the solvability…

We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…

Certain semi-Riemannian metrics may be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. We use this idea and an idea of Kasner to construct a manifold in 6+1 Minkowski space with a well known metric. The full embedding we display…

One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…

Usually a Riemannian geometry is considered to be the most general geometry, which could be used as a space-time geometry. In fact, any Riemannian geometry is a result of some deformation of the Euclidean geometry. Class of these Riemannian…

This article explores the overall geometric manner in which human beings make sense of the world around them by means of their physical theories; in particular, in what are nowadays called pregeometric pictures of Nature. In these, the…

This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…

Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…

A simple visual representation of Minkowski spacetime appropriate for a student with a background in geometry and algebra is presented. Minkowski spacetime can be modeled with a Euclidean 4-space to yield accurate visualizations as…

Starting with assumptions both simple and natural from "physical" point of view we present a direct construction of transformations preserving wide class of (anti)commutation relations which describe Euclidean/Minkowski superspace…
