Trajectories of light rays in a static spacetime are described by unparametrised geodesics of the Riemannian optical metric associated with the Lorentzian spacetime metric. We investigate the uniqueness of this structure and demonstrate…

We analyze the properties of foliations in presence of non-metricity, deriving the generalized Gauss-Codazzi relations in full generality. These results are employed to study the teleparallel framework of non-metric geometry, obtaining…

The article generalizes the description of tidal forces to the case of geodesics with non-zero angular momentum in the metric of static spherically symmetric black holes. We show that the geodesic deviation equation can be diagonalized even…

Motivated by geometrically capturing generic directions in Teichm\"uller space -- that is, tracking rays for random walks of the mapping class group -- we use work of Chaika--Masur--Wolf and Durham--Zalloum to construct the first examples…

The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…

Electromagnetism in an inhomogeneous dielectric medium at rest is described using the methods of differential geometry. In contrast to a general relativistic approach the electromagnetic fields are discussed in three-dimensional space only.…

We consider any Finsler metric on a closed, orientable surface of genus greater than one. H. M. Morse proved that we can associate an asymptotic direction to minimal rays in the universal cover (in the Poincar\'e disc: a point on the unit…

Let X be an infinite Riemann surface with an upper-bounded geodesic pants decomposition. The vertices of the corresponding dual graph G are pairs of pants and edges are cuffs with conductances equal to their lengths. We prove that the…

A meromorphic quadratic differential with poles of order two, on a compact Riemann surface, induces a measured foliation on the surface, with a spiralling structure at any pole that is determined by the complex residue of the differential…

We describe a method for constructing Teichm\"uller geodesics where the vertical measured foliation $\nu$ is minimal but is not uniquely ergodic and where we have a good understanding of the behavior of the Teichm\"uller geodesic. The…
