The appearance of two geometries in one and the same gravitational theory is familiar. Usually, as in the Brans-Dicke theory or in string theory, these are conformally related Riemannian geometries. Is this the most general relation between…
We define the notion of dextral symmetric algebras (not necessarily associative), motivated by the idea of symmetric rings. We derive a complete classification of dextral symmetric algebras of Leavitt path algebras, and right Leibniz…
We construct 9-parameter and 13-parameter dynamical systems of the plane which map bi-quadratic curves to other bi-quadratic curves and return to the original curve after two iterations. These generalize the QRT maps which map each such…
Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…
A frame approach to determining the most general solution admitting a desired symmetry group has been examined previously in Riemannian and teleparallel geometries with some success. In teleparallel geometries, one must determine the…
We construct the non-linear realisation of E11 and its first fundamental representation in eleven dimensions at low levels. The fields depend on the usual coordinates of space-time as well as two form and five form coordinates. We derive…
In this paper we present the distinguished (d-) Riemannian geometry (in the sense of nonlinear connection, Cartan canonical linear connection, together with its d-torsions and d-curvatures) for a possible Lagrangian inspired by optics in…
A complete classifications, up to isomorphism, of two-dimensional associative and diassociative algebras over any basic field are given.
A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…
Framework materials and their deformations provide a compelling relation between materials science and algebraic geometry. Physical distance constraints within the material transform into polynomial constraints, making algebraic geometry…
We give examples of pairs of isotopic algebras with non-isomorphic congruence lattices. This answers the question of whether all isotopic algebras have isomorphic congruence lattices.
In the conventional formulation of general relativity, gravity is represented by the metric curvature of Riemannian geometry. There are also alternative formulations in flat affine geometries, wherein the gravitational dynamics is instead…
Geometric modeling by constraints, whose applications are of interest to communities from various fields such as mechanical engineering, computer aided design, symbolic computation or molecular chemistry, is now integrated into standard…
Many problems in Euclidean geometry, arising in computational design and fabrication, amount to a system of constraints, which is challenging to solve. We suggest a new general approach to the solution, which is to start with analogous…
Leibniz algebras ${\mathcal E}_n$ were introduced as algebraic structure underlying U-duality. Algebras ${\mathcal E}_3$ derived from Bianchi three-dimensional Lie algebras are classified here. Two types of algebras are obtained:…
We extend a classification of irreducible, almost-commutative geometries whose spectral action is dynamically non-degenerate, to internal algebras that have six simple summands. We find essentially four particle models: An extension of the…
It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a geometric triangulation, i.e. it is decomposed into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. Here, we show that sufficiently highly twisted knots admit a geometric…
The orthogonality graph of an Okubo algebra with isotropic norm over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ is considered. Its connected components are described, and their diameters are computed. It is shown that there exist at most two shortest…
Enumerative algebraic geometry counts the solutions to certain geometric constraints. Numerical algebraic geometry determines these solutions for any given instance. This article illustrates how these two fields complement each other. Our…
The geometry of rotations in dimensions 3, 4, and 5 is discussed using the matrix exponential map. Explicit closed formulas for the exponential of an antisymmetric matrix, as well as the logarithm of a rotation, are given for these…
