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…

We propose a possible answer to one of the most exciting open questions in physics and cosmology, that is the question why we seem to experience four- dimensional space-time with three ordinary and one time dimensions. We have known for…

The laws of gravitation devised by Newton, and by Hilbert and Einstein, have failed many experimental and observational tests, namely the bore hole g anomaly, flat rotation curves for spiral galaxies, supermassive black hole mass spectrum,…

We argue that de Sitter universes with a small cosmological constant are entropically favored to have three spatial dimensions. The conclusion relies on the causal-patch description of de Sitter space, where fiducial observers experience…

The time-periodic problem on the Boltzmann equation with a given time-periodic external force in the three-dimensional whole space has remained open since it was first studied in [15] for only spatial dimensions not less than five. The goal…

For some 100 years physics has modelled space and time via the spacetime concept, with space being merely an observer dependent perspective effect of that spacetime - space itself had no observer independent existence - it had no…

Why do we live in a (3+1) dimensional universe? In this paper, I review the "relaxation principle" first introduced by Karch and Randall (arXiv:hep-th/0506053v2) and generalize its ideas to an arbitrary (n+1) dimensions. This is done by…

We present the explicit solution to the geodesic equations in a warped de Sitter space-time proposed by Randall-Sundrum. We find that a test particle moves in the bulk and is not restricted on a 3-brane (to be taken as our universe). On the…

Despite the huge number of research into the three-body problem in physics and mathematics, the study of this problem still remains relevant both from the point of view of its broad application and taking into account its fundamental…

The possibility that spacetime is extended beyond the familiar 3+1-dimensions has intrigued physicists for a century. Indeed, the consequences of a dimensionally richer spacetime would be profound. Recently, new theories with higher…

A fundamental problem in the dimension theory of self-affine sets is the construction of high-dimensional measures which yield sharp lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the set. A natural strategy for the construction of such…

This paper jointly addresses the challenges of non-stationarity and high dimensionality in analysing multivariate time series. Building on the classical concept of cointegration, we introduce a more flexible notion, called stability space,…

The physical origin of spacetime discreteness remains a central open problem in quantum gravity, with most existing approaches relying on specific microscopic structures or model-dependent assumptions. In this letter, spacetime discreteness…

Einstein used 4-dimensional space time geometry to explain gravity. However, in 1962, Baierlein, Sharp and Wheeler proposed a Jacobi type timeless Lagrangian based on the 3-dimensional geometry of space to reproduce the same physics. In…
