We present a new method for embedding a causal set into an interval of Minkowski spacetime. The method uses spacetime volumes for causally related elements to define causal set analogs of Minkowski inner products. These are used to…

Diversities are an extension of the concept of a metric space which assign a non-negative value to every finite set of points, rather than just pairs. A general theory of diversities has been developed which exhibits many deep analogies to…

We adopt a vierbein formalism to study pseudo-Finsler spaces modeled on a pseudo-Minkowski space. We show that it is possible to obtain closed expressions for most of the geometric objects of the theory, including Berwald's curvature,…

The purpose of this article is to introduce and motivate the notion of Minkowski (or box) dimension for measures. The definition is simple and fills a gap in the existing literature on the dimension theory of measures. As the terminology…

A new refinement of the triangle inequality is presented in normed linear spaces. Moreover, a simple characterization of inner product spaces is obtained by using the skew-angular distance.

We investigate elementary properties of successive radii in generalized Minkowski spaces (that is, with respect to gauges), i.e., we measure the "size" of a given convex set in a finite-dimensional real vector space with respect to another…

In this paper, we first establish an equivalence theorem of Minkowski spaces by using results in centro-affine differential geometry. As an application in Finsler geometry, we gives some new characterizations of Berwald spaces.

In Minkowski geometry the metric features are based on a compact convex body containing the origin in its interior. This body works as a unit ball with its boundary formed by the unit vectors. Using one-homogeneous extension we have a…

Given one metric measure space $X$ satisfying a linear Brunn-Minkowski inequality, and a second one $Y$ satisfying a Brunn-Minkowski inequality with exponent $p\ge -1$, we prove that the product $X\times Y$ with the standard product…

In this paper, we investigate the similarity transformations in the Minkowski-n space. We study the geometric invariants of non-null curves under the similarity transformations. Besides, we extend the fundamental theorem for a non-null…

We show that D=4 Minkowski space is an emergent concept related to a class of operators in extended Hilbert space with no positive-definite scalar product. We start with the idea of position-like and momentum-like operators (Plewa 2019 J.…

A finite-dimensional normed space is an inner product space if and only if the set of norming vectors of any endomorphism is a linear subspace. This theorem was proved by Sain and Paul for real scalars. In this paper, we give a different…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

This paper explores the stability of Minkowski-type inequalities for hypersurfaces in warped product spaces. We establish a stability estimate that bounds the norm of the traceless second fundamental form of the hypersurface in terms of the…

We present natural (invariant) definite and indefinite scalar products on the N=1 superspace which turns out to carry an inherent Hilbert-Krein structure. We are motivated by supersymmetry in physics but prefer a general mathematical…

Minkowski's second theorem can be stated as an inequality for $n$-dimensional flat Finsler tori relating the volume and the minimal product of the lengths of closed geodesics which form a homology basis. In this paper we show how this…

\emph{Minkowski rings} are certain rings of simple functions on the Euclidean space $W = {\mathbb{R}}^d$ with multiplicative structure derived from Minkowski addition of convex polytopes. When the ring is (finitely) generated by a set…

We prove that, in Minkowski space, if a spacelike, $(n-1)$-convex hypersurface $M$ with constant $\sigma_{n-1}$ curvature has bounded principal curvatures, then $M$ is convex. Moreover, if $M$ is not strictly convex, after an…
