This is a survey article on the recent development of "stringy geometry and topology of orbifolds", a new subject of mathematics motivated by orbifold string theory.
We show that deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection emerging in parabosonic constructions is also related to parafermions. This universality is discussed in different algebraic aspects and is employed for the description of spin-j…
Theory of Riemann Extensions of the spaces with constant affine connection for the studying of the properties of nonlinear the first order systems of differential equations is proposed. Quadratic planar system of equations and the Lorenz…
Curvature and torsion are the two tensors characterizing a general Riemannian spacetime. In Einstein's general theory of gravitation, with torsion postulated to vanish and the affine connection identified to the Christoffel symbol, only the…
The reconstruction theorem deals with dynamical systems that are given by a map $T:X\to X$ of a compact metric space $X$ together with an observable $f:X \to \R$ from $X$ to the real line $\R$. In 1981, by use of Whitney's embedding…
These lecture notes are a personal introduction to signed graphs, concentrating on the aspects that have been most persistently interesting to me. They are just a few corners of signed graph theory; I am leaving out a great deal. The…
We prove some results on the border of Ramsey theory (finite partition calculus) and model theory. Also a beginning of classification theory of finite models in undertaken.
Given a finite simplicial complex, a unimodular representation of its fundamental group and a closed twisted cochain of odd degree, we define a twisted version of the Reidemeister torsion, extending a previous definition of V. Mathai and S.…
We show that all extended functorial field theories, both topological and nontopological, are local. We define the smooth (infinity,d)-category of bordisms with geometric data, such as Riemannian metrics or geometric string structures, and…
In this work, we study generalized entropies and information geometry in a group-theoretical framework. We explore the conditions that ensure the existence of some natural properties and at the same time of a group-theoretical structure for…
We provide two alternative ways to determine the number of (bi-)twisted conjugacy classes in a finite group: one by counting certain irreducible characters and one by counting certain twisted conjugacy classes of other endomorphisms. In…
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it provides a review of the links between random tensor models, seen as quantum gravity theories, and the PL-manifolds representation by means of edge-colored graphs (crystallization…
This is the introduction and bibliography for lecture notes of a course given at the Summer School on Noncommutative Geometry and Applications, sponsored by the European Mathematical Society, at Monsaraz and Lisboa, Portugal, September…
We obtain in this paper, as a consequence of the Riemann hypothesis, certain class of topological deformations of the graph of the function $|\zf|$. These are used to construct an infinite set of microscopic universes (on the Planck's…
Using ideas from algebraic topology and statistical mechanics, we generalize Kirchhoff's network and matrix-tree theorems to finite CW complexes of arbitrary dimension. As an application, we give a formula expressing Reidemeister torsion as…
The concept of torsion in geometry, although known for a long time, has not gained considerable attention by the physics community until relatively recently, due to its diverse and potentially important applications to a plethora of…
Ramsey theory looks for regularities in large objects. Model theory studies algebraic structures as models of theories. The structural Ramsey theory combines these two fields and is concerned with Ramsey-type questions about certain…
What is the shape of the Universe? Is it curved or flat, finite or infinite ? Is space "wrapped around" to create ghost images of faraway cosmic sources? We review how tessellations allow to build multiply-connected 3D Riemannian spaces…
For seven-dimensional Riemannian manifolds equipped with a $G_2$-structure, we show in a full detailed way that all integral formulas and divergence equations, given by diverse authors, are agree with the ones displayed here in terms of the…
