The different roles played by Lorentz connections in general relativity and in teleparallel gravity are reviewed. Some of the consequences of this difference are discussed.
Optimal transport and its related problems, including optimal partial transport, have proven to be valuable tools in machine learning for computing meaningful distances between probability or positive measures. This success has led to a…
We derive the most general homogeneous and isotropic teleparallel geometries, defined by a metric and a flat, affine connection. We find that there are five branches of connection solutions, which are connected via several limits, and can…
In this paper we provide a \emph{global} investigation of the geometry of parallelizable manifolds (or absolute parallelism geometry) frequently used for application. We discuss the different linear connections and curvature tensors from a…
We show that if a graph is k-edge-connected, and we adjoin to it another graph satisfying a "contracted diameter less or equal to 2" condition, with minimal degree greater or equal to k, and some natural hypothesis on the edges connecting…
We provide a general account of parallelism in discourse, and apply it to the special case of resolving possible readings for instances of VP ellipsis. We show how several problematic examples are accounted for in a natural and…
Since its recent introduction, the small-world effect has been identified in several important real-world systems. Frequently, it is a consequence of the existence of a few long-range connections, which dominate the original regular…
In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…
The problem of equivalency for linear differential operators of the first order is discussed.
We develop a semigroup-theoretic analogue of liaison for relative ideals of a numerical semigroup. Two parallel linkage notions are proposed: a theory based on translates of the semigroup and a theory based on translates of the canonical…
Many systems of interest to control engineering can be modeled by linear complementarity problems. We introduce a new notion of equivalence between linear complementarity problems that sets the basis to translate the powerful tools of…
In this paper we establish a one-to-one correspondence between $S^1$-gerbes with connections, on the one hand, and their holonomies, for simply connected manifolds, or their parallel transports, in the general case, on the other hand. This…
We introduce the notion of operadic torsors and operadic quasi-torsors. We show that if an operadic (quasi-)torsor between two operads exists, then these operads are (quasi-)isomorphic. As an application we present the (arguably) shortest…
We suggest that the canonical parallel operation of processes is composition in a well-supported compact closed category of spans of reflexive graphs. We present the parallel operations of classical process algebras as derived operations…
We develop a theory of \'etale parallel transport for vector bundles with numerically flat reduction on a $p$-adic variety. This construction is compatible with natural operations on vector bundles, Galois equivariant and functorial with…
Cirquent calculus is a proof system manipulating circuit-style constructs rather than formulas. Using it, this article constructs a sound and complete axiomatization CL16 of the propositional fragment of computability logic (the…
We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…
We show the equivalence of several notions in the theory of taut foliations and the theory of tight contact structures. We prove equivalence, in certain cases, of existence of tight contact structures and taut foliations.
Synonymy and translational equivalence are the relations of sameness of meaning within and across languages. As the principal relations in wordnets and multi-wordnets, they are vital to computational lexical semantics, yet the field suffers…
We provide a simple proof that conformally semi-symmetric spacetimes are actually semi-symmetric. We also present a complete refined classification of the semi-symmetric spacetimes.
