This paper concerns the \textbf{abstract geometry of numbers}: namely the pursuit of certain aspects of geometry of numbers over a suitable class of normed domains. (The standard geometry of numbers is then viewed as geometry of numbers…
This is an overview of merging the techniques of Riesz space theory and convex geometry.
We discuss fun problems, vaguely related to notions and theorems of a course in differential geometry. This paper can be regarded as a weekend "treasure chest" supplementing the course weekday lecture notes. The problems and solutions are…
The objective of this paper is to explain the principles of the design of a coarse space in a simplified way and by pictures. The focus is on ideas rather than on a more historically complete presentation. Also, space limitation does not…
Here we briefly describe some topics along the lines of projective spaces and related geometric constructions connected to linear algebra, which provide fundamental examples in classical geometry and analysis.
Over the past few years there has been considerable progress in the structural understanding of special Colombeau algebras. We present some of the main trends in this development: non-smooth differential geometry, locally convex theory of…
We introduce an axiomatic theory of spherical diagrams as a tool to study certain combinatorial properties of polyhedra in $\mathbb R^3$, which are of central interest in the context of Art Gallery problems for polyhedra and other…
Linear Geometry describes geometric properties that depend on the fundamental notion of a line. In this paper we survey basic notions and results of Linear Geomery that depend on the flat hulls: flats, exchange, rank, regularity,…
Our goal is to provide a survey of some topics in quasiconformal analysis of current interest. We try to emphasize ideas and leave proofs and technicalities aside. Several easily stated open problems are given. Most of the results are joint…
This paper provides a survey of spherical designs and their applications, with a particular emphasis on the perspective of ``numerical analysis''. A set \(X_N\) of \(N\) points on the unit sphere \(\mathbb{S}^d\) is called a…
The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…
In the paper "Is there a Jordan geometry underlying quantum physics?" (Int. J. Theor. Phys., to appear; arXiv:0801.3069 [math-ph]), generalized projective geometries have been proposed as a framework for a geometric formulation of Quantum…
We review, from a didactic point of view, the definition of a toric section and the different shapes it can take. We'll then discuss some properties of this curve, investigate its analogies and differences with the most renowned conic…
These notes, based on a graduate course I gave at Hamburg University in 2003, are intended to students having basic knowledges of differential geometry. Their main purpose is to provide a quick and accessible introduction to different…
In this paper we give a brief overview of the geometry of involute gears, from a mathematical more than an engineering perspective. We also list some of the many variant geared mechanisms and discuss some of our 3D printed mechanisms.
The works of R. Descartes, I. M. Gelfand and A. Grothendieck have convinced us that commutative rings should be thought of as rings of functions on some appropriate (commutative) spaces. If we try to push this notion forward we reach the…
Many systems of interest in science and engineering are made up of interacting subsystems. These subsystems, in turn, could be made up of collections of smaller interacting subsystems and so on. In a series of papers David Spivak with…
The basic methods of constructing the sets of mutually unbiased bases in the Hilbert space of an arbitrary finite dimension are discussed and an emerging link between them is outlined. It is shown that these methods employ a wide range of…
We aim at studying collections of algebraic structures defined over a commutative ring and investigating the complexity of significant constructions carried out on these objects. The assignment of measures of size, via a multiplicity…
This is an introduction (in German) to projective geometry by the late Heinz Lueneburg. Projective spaces are treated as lattices with particular properties, and finite geometries receive special attention. The final chapters deal with…
