In the recent development in a various disciplines of physics, it is noted the need for including the deformed versions of the exponential functions. In this paper, we consider the deformations which have two purposes: to have them like…
In this paper, we study the dual Minkowski problem under group symmetry. For $0<q\le n$, we give a complete existence characterization in the framework of $G$-invariant convex bodies when the group $G\subset O(n)$ has no nonzero fixed…
The genus statistics of isodensity contours has become a well-established tool in cosmology. In this Letter we place the genus in the wider framework of a complete family of morphological descriptors. These are known as the Minkowski…
The coordinate transformation between emission coordinates and inertial coordinates in Minkowski space-time is obtained for arbitrary configurations of the emitters. It appears that a positioning system always generates two different…
We obtain inequalities of H\"{o}lder and Minkowski type with weights generalizing both the case of weights with alternating signs and the classical case of non-negative weights.
Given a real number $q$ and a star body in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, the generalized dual curvature measure of a convex body was introduced by Lutwak-Yang-Zhang [43]. The corresponding generalized dual Minkowski problem is…
Two-forms in Minkowski space-time may be considered as generators of Lorentz transformations. Here, the covariant and general expression for the composition law (Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula) of two Lorentz transformations in terms of…

Recently, the duals of Federer's curvature measures, called dual curvature measures, were discovered by Huang, Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang (ACTA, 2016). In the same paper, they posed the dual Minkowski problem, the characterization problem for…
This is a brief overview of the index hypergeometric transform (other terms for this integral operator are: Olevskii transform, Jacobi transform, generalized Mehler--Fock transform). We discuss applications of this transform to special…
As early as 1972, Penrose - in a purely formal way - introduced a "discontinuous coordinate transformation", which relates a continuous representation of the metric of impulsive pp-waves to a discontinuous one. On the basis of the…
We present an introduction to the mathematical theory of the Lagrangian formalism for multiform fields on Minkowski spacetime based on the multiform and extensor calculus. Our formulation gives a unified mathematical description for the…
A longstanding question in the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory is what are the dual analogues of Federer's curvature measures for convex bodies. The answer to this is provided. This leads naturally to dual versions of Minkowski-type problems,…
In this paper, algorithms are developed for computing the Stirling transform and the inverse Stirling transform; specifically, we investigate a class of sequences satisfying a two-term recurrence. We derive a general identity which…
The dual conformal box integral in Minkowski space is not fully determined by the conformal invariants $z$ and $\bar{z}$. Depending on the kinematic region its value is on a 'branch' of the Bloch-Wigner function which occurs in the…
A free hermitian conformal field theory is considered in Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. The first part of the paper studies spacetime inversion and conformal inversion, wherein their role in the field quantization is…
The cone-beam transform consists of integrating a function defined on the three-dimensional space along every ray that starts on a certain scanning set. Based on Grangeat's formula, Louis [2016, Inverse Problems 32 115005] states…
