Various extensions to Riemann geometry have been proposed since the inception of general relativity (GR). The aim has been and continues to be to construct a quantum and dynamic spacetime that incorporates the well-known classical (static)…
This document contains a description of physics entirely based on a geometric presentation: all of the theory is described giving only a pseudo-riemannian manifold (M, g) of dimension n > 5 for which the g tensor is, in studied domains,…
The Riemannian geometry is one of the main theoretical pieces in Modern Mathematics and Physics. The study of Riemann Geometry in the relevant literature is performed by using a well defined analytical path. Usually it starts from the…
A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M, equipped with an additional tensor structure S, whose fourth power is minus identity, is considered. The structure S has a skew-circulant matrix with respect to some basis of the tangent space at a…
The space of the associative commutative hyper complex numbers, H_4, is a 4-dimensional metric Finsler space with the Berwald-Moor metric. It provides the possibility to construct the tensor fields on the base of the analytical functions of…
In complex general relativity, Lorentzian space-time is replaced by a four-complex-dimensional complex-Riemannian manifold, with holomorphic connection and holomorphic curvature tensor. A multisymplectic analysis shows that the Hamiltonian…
The motion of a quantum particle constrained to a two-dimensional non-compact Riemannian manifold with non-trivial metric can be described by a flat-space Schroedinger-type equation at the cost of introducing local mass and metric and…
We argue for more widespread use of manifold-like polyfolds (M-polyfolds) as differential geometric objects. M-polyfolds possess a distinct advantage over differentiable manifolds, enabling a smooth and local change of dimension. To…
A four-dimensional differentiable manifold is given with an arbitrary linear connection $\Gamma_\alpha^\beta=\Gamma_{i\alpha}^\beta dx^i$. Megged has claimed that he can define a metric $G_{\alpha\beta}$ by means of a certain integral…
A distance function on the set of physical equivalence classes of Yang-Mills configurations considered by Feynman and by Atiyah, Hitchin and Singer is studied for both the $2+1$ and $3+1$-dimensional Hamiltonians. This set equipped with…
The geometrical description of a Hilbert space asociated with a quantum system considers a Hermitian tensor to describe the scalar inner product of vectors which are now described by vector fields. The real part of this tensor represents a…
This paper examines 8-dimensional Riemannian manifolds whose structure group reduces to ${SO(4)}_{ir}\subset GL(8,\mathbb R)$, the image of an irreducible representation of $SO(4)$ on $\mathbb R^8$. We demonstrate that such a reduction can…
The two-dimensional gauged linear sigma model has provided a physical model for the quantum cohomology of a K\"ahler manifold, $X$. A three-dimensional version of such construction has recently been shown to shed light on models of quantum…
Motivated by the geometrical structures of quantum mechanics, we introduce an almost-complex structure $J$ on the product $M\times M$ of any parallelizable statistical manifold $M$. Then, we use $J$ to extract a pre-symplectic form and a…
We show Riemannian geometry could be studied by identifying the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with a subbundle of the trivial bundle $\mathcal{M} \times \mathcal{E}$, obtained by embedding $\mathcal{M}$…
We study general relativity in the framework of non-commutative differential geometry. In particular, we introduce a gravity action for a space-time which is the product of a four dimensional manifold by a two-point space. In the simplest…
Quantum states defined over a parameter space form a Grassmann manifold. To capture the geometry of the associated gauge structure, gauge-invariant quantities are essential. We employ the projector of a multilevel system to quantify the…
We introduce in this paper a manifold optimization framework that utilizes semi-Riemannian structures on the underlying smooth manifolds. Unlike in Riemannian geometry, where each tangent space is equipped with a positive definite inner…
We study hyper-spheres, spheres and circles, with respect to an indefinite metric, in a tangent space on a 4-dimensional differentiable manifold. The manifold is equipped with a positive definite metric and an additional tensor structure of…
While general relativity provides a complete geometric theory of gravity, it fails to explain the other three forces of nature, i.e., electromagnetism and weak and strong interactions. We require the quantum field theory (QFT) to explain…
