In this paper we introduce the systematic study of invariant functions and equivariant mappings defined on Minkowski space under the action of the Lorentz group. We adapt some known results from the orthogonal group acting on the Euclidean…
Classical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics are often depicted as separate realms of physics, each with its own formalism and notion. This remains unsatisfactory with respect to the unity of nature and to the…
In analogy with the classical Minkowski problem, necessary and sufficient conditions are given to assure that a given measure on the unit sphere is the cone-volume measure of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space.
In this paper, we develop topological modules over the ring of bicomplex numbers. We discuss bicomplex convexivity, hyperbolic-valued seminorms and hyperbolic-valued Minkowski functionals in bicomplex modules. We also study the conditions…
Spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions of Shape Dynamics were previously studied assuming standard falloff conditions for the metric and the momenta. These ensure that the spacetime is asymptotically Minkowski, and that the…
The classical Minkowski problem in Minkowski space asks, for a positive function $\phi$ on $\mathbb{H}^d$, for a convex set $K$ in Minkowski space with $C^2$ space-like boundary $S$, such that $\phi(\eta)^{-1}$ is the Gauss--Kronecker…
Minkowski functionals have recently been introduced into cosmology as novel tools for studying the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe. We present a brief overview of the method, including its mathematical foundations as well…
Our object of study is extremal functions which are defined by distance functions of convex bodies. These functions take values in the moduli spaces of algebraic and geometric objects associated with these ${\mathbb Z}$-modules (geometric…
A conformally invariant model of two interacting massless particles in Minkowski space was proposed by Casalbuoni and Gomis [1]. We generalize this model to the case of de Sitter space from the perspective of geodesic distance, in such a…
We propose to derive deviation measures through the Minkowski gauge of a given set of acceptable positions. We show that, given a suitable acceptance set, any positive homogeneous deviation measure can be accommodated in our framework. In…
We give a geometrically intrinsic construction of a global time function for relatively compact diamond-shaped regions in arbitrary spacetimes. In the case of Minkowski spacetime, the flow of diffeomorphisms associated to a suitably…
This paper continues the study of a class of compact convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}, ~n \geq 1$, which are boundaries of compact convex bodies obtained by taking the intersection of (solid) confocal paraboloids of…
The Minkowski product of unit quaternion sets is introduced and analyzed, motivated by the desire to characterize the overall variation of compounded spatial rotations that result from individual rotations subject to known uncertainties in…
Minkowski functionals provide a novel tool to characterize the large-scale galaxy distribution in the Universe. Here we give a brief tutorial on the basic features of these morphological measures and indicate their practical application for…
The multiplicative and the functional renormalization group methods are applied for the four dimensional scalar theory in Minkowski space-time. It is argued that the appropriate choice of the subtraction point is more important in Minkowski…
When developing a quantum theory for a physical system, one determines the system's symmetry group and its irreducible unitary representations. For Minkowski space, the symmetry group is the Poincar\'e group, $\mathbb{R}^4 \rtimes…
The Minkowski's theory is regarded as the classical approach for describing the electromagnetism of uniformly moving objects by elegantly utilizing the format-invariance of the Maxwell's equations in inertia reference frames under Lorentz…
Functional integrals are defined in terms of locally compact topological groups and their associated Banach-valued Haar integrals. This approach generalizes the functional integral scheme of Cartier and DeWitt-Morette. The definition allows…
A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used…
Based on collection of bijections, variable and function are extended into ``isomorphic variable'' and ``dual-variable-isomorphic function'', then mean values such as arithmetic mean and mean of a function are extended to ``isomorphic…
