In this paper we study the general affine differential geometry of surfaces in affine space $A^3$. For a regular elliptical surface we define a moving frame of minimal order and get the complete system of differential invariants. As an…
These are some informal notes concerning topological vector spaces, with a brief overview of background material and basic notions, and emphasis on examples related to classical analysis.
The main aim of this thesis is to reveal some interesting aspects of the purely affine theory of gravity and its cosmological implication. A particular attention will be devoted to its consequences when applied to cosmological inflation.…
The cosine transforms of functions on the unit sphere play an important role in convex geometry, the Banach space theory, stochastic geometry and other areas. Their higher-rank generalization to Grassmann manifolds represents an interesting…
We introduce a simple property, affine invariance, which characterizes within the class of fuzzy topological spaces those which are induced from an underlying topology on the space. We illustrate it by considering the simple notions of…
This paper provides an introduction to Kundt spaces, clarifying several important properties, many of which are typically scattered across the mathematical literature or presented without explicit reference to Kundt terminology. While not…
The concept of illumination bodies studied in convex geometry is used to amend the halfspace depth for multivariate data. The proposed notion of illumination enables finer resolution of the sample points, naturally breaks ties in the…
The Grassmannian is an important object in Algebraic Geometry. One of the many techniques used to study the Grassmannian is to build a vector space from its points in the projective embedding and study the properties of the resulting linear…
These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…
We introduce floating bodies for convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This allows us to define floating functions for convex and log concave functions and log concave measures. We establish the asymptotic behavior of…
An introduction to the physics and mathematics of the expanding universe, using no more than high-school level / undergraduate mathematics. Covered are the basics of scale factor expansion, the dynamics of the expanding universe, various…
The theory of abstract convexity, also known as convexity without linearity, is an extension of the classical convex analysis. There are a number of remarkable results, mostly concerning duality, and some numerical methods, however, this…
We extend the notion of illumination bodies to Riemannian spaces of constant curvature and to projective Finsler geometries. We prove that the derivative of their volume defines a notion of surface area for convex bodies in these settings,…
This is a semipopular introduction to the Special and General Theory of Relativity, with special emphasis on the geometrical aspects of both theories and their physical implications.
Deleting a hyperplane from a polar space associated with a symplectic polarity we get a specific, symplectic, affine polar space. Similar geometry, called an \afsempol\ arises as a result of generalization of the notion of an alternating…
This lecture note covers Relativistic Kinematics, which is very useful for the beginners in the field of high-energy physics. A very practical approach has been taken, which answers "why and how" of the kinematics useful for students…
Finite fields form an important chapter in abstract algebra, and mathematics in general. We aim to provide a geometric and intuitive model for finite fields, involving algebraic numbers, in order to make them accessible and interesting to a…
Recent links between Finsler Geometry and the geometry of spacetimes are briefly revisited, and prospective ideas and results are explained. Special attention is paid to geometric problems with a direct motivation in Relativity and other…
Little known relations of the renown concept of the halfspace depth for multivariate data with notions from convex and affine geometry are discussed. Halfspace depth may be regarded as a measure of symmetry for random vectors. As such, the…
In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…
