Within a framework of noncommutative geometry, we develop an analogue of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry on finite and discrete sets. On a finite set, there is a counterpart of the continuum metric tensor with a simple geometric…

During an operation of surgery on a Riemannian manifold and along a given embedded submanifold, one needs to replace the (old) metric induced by the exponential map on a tubular neighborhood of the submanifold by the Sasakian metric. So a…

We discuss the geometric aspects of a recently described unfolding procedure and show the form of objects relevant in the field of Quantum Information Geometry in the unfolding space. In particular, we show the form of the quantum monotone…

Geometric torsions are torsions of acyclic complexes of vector spaces which consist of differentials of geometric quantities assigned to the elements of a manifold triangulation. We use geometric torsions to construct invariants for a…

Space-time measurements, of gedanken experiments of special relativity need modification in curved spaces-times. It is found that in a space-time with metric $g$, the special relativistic factor $\gamma$, has to be replaced by…

We examine the hypothesis that space-time is a product of a continuous four-dimensional manifold times a finite space. A new tensorial notation is developed to present the various constructs of noncommutative geometry. In particular, this…

We give a spinorial characterization of isometrically immersed hypersurfaces into 4-dimensional space forms and product spaces $\M^3(\kappa)\times\R$, in terms of the existence of particular spinor fields, called generalized Killing spinors…

A geometric conception is a method of a geometry construction. The Riemannian geometric conception and a new T-geometric one are considered. T-geometry is built only on the basis of information included in the metric (distance between two…

The space-time geometry in any inertial frame is described by the line-element $ds^2= \eta_{\mu \nu} dx^\mu dx^\nu$. Now, not only the Minkowski metric $\eta_{\mu \nu} $ is invariant under proper Lorentz transformations, the totally…

The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…

A generalisation of Riemannian geometry is considered, based exclusively on the minimal assumptions that the line element $ds$ is a regular function of position and direction and that the distance of every point from itself is equal to…

This paper introduces the generalized quaternionic Stiefel manifold and studies its geometry for Riemannian optimization. We clarify its relationships with existing manifolds, especially the real generalized Stiefel manifold and the…

Two Measures Field Theory (TMT) uses both the Riemannian volume element \sqrt{-g}d^4x and a new one \Phi d^4x where the new measure of integration \Phi can be build of four scalar fields. Arguments in favor of TMT, both from the point of…

Recent work on state sum models of quantum gravity in 3 and 4 dimensions has led to interest in the `quantum tetrahedron'. Starting with a classical phase space whose points correspond to geometries of the tetrahedron in R^3, we use…

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a novel and prospecting approach motivated by the belief that our world is ultimately geometrical. At the heart of that is a quantity called Quantum Geometric Tensor (or Fubini-Study metric), which is a…
