In this paper we parallelly build up the theories of normed linear spaces and of linear spaces with indefinite metric, called also Minkowski spaces for finite dimensions in the literature. In the first part of this paper we collect the…
The tangent hyperplanes of the "manifolds" of this paper equipped a so-called Minkowski product. It is neither symmetric nor bilinear. We give a method to handing such an object as a locally hypersurface of a generalized space-time model…
In this paper, we generalize the defining equation for de Sitter space by replacing the de Sitter radius with a function $f$ satisfying certain conditions; each resulting hypersurface is diffeomorphic to de Sitter space, and has a geometry…
Starting from noncommutative generalization of Minkowski space we consider quantum deformed relativistic symmetries which lead to the modification of kinematics of special relativity. The noncommutative field theory framework described by…
The Minkowski question mark function is a rich object which can be explored from the perspective of dynamical systems, complex dynamics, metric number theory, multifractal analysis, transfer operators, integral transforms, and as a function…
We consider spacelike surfaces in the four-dimensional Minkowski space and introduce geometrically an invariant linear map of Weingarten-type in the tangent plane at any point of the surface under consideration. This allows us to introduce…
In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of a N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical…
The Minkowski functionals are a mathematical tool to quantify morphological features of patterns. Some applications to the matter distribution in galaxy catalogues and N-body simulations are reviewed, with an emphasis on the effects of…
A new characterization of conformal transformations is given. By use of this, the general form of conformal transformation on two-dimensional Minkowski space is given and its conformal structure is analyzed.
In this paper, we introduce the concept of N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical coodinates. This is the first…
We consider a fairly general class of natural non standard metric products and classify those amongst them, which yield a product of certain type (for instance an inner metric space) for all possible choices of factors of this type (inner…
We introduce a notion of the Euclidean- and the Minkowski rank for arbitrary metric spaces and we study their behaviour with respect to products. We show that the Minkowski rank is additive with respect to metric products, while additivity…
A Minkowski class is a closed subset of the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space Rn which is closed under Minkowski addition and non-negative dilatations. A convex body in Rn is universal if the expansion of its support function in…
We combine functional analytic and geometric viewpoints on approximate Birkhoff and isosceles orthogonality in generalized Minkowski spaces which are finite-dimensional vector spaces equipped with a gauge. This is the first approach to…
Generalized Functions play a central role in the understanding of differential equations containing singularities and nonlinearities. Introducing infinitesimals and infinities to deal with these obstructions leads to controversies…
We present a deformation of the Minkowski space as embedded into the conformal space (in the formalism of twistors) based in the quantum versions of the corresponding kinematic groups. We compute explicitly the star product, whose Poisson…
Manifestly covariant formalism for Bargmann-Wigner fields is developed. It is shown that there exists some freedom in the choice of the form of the Bargmann-Wigner scalar product: The general product depends implicitly on a family of…
We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…
We consider the noncommutative space-times with Lie-algebraic noncommutativity (e.g. $\kappa$-deformed Minkowski space). In the framework with classical fields we extend the $\star$-product in order to represent the noncommutative…
We extend the non-commutative coordinates relationship into other than the Minkowski space-time. We clarify the non-commutativity dependency to the geometrical structure. As well as, we find an inverse map between Riemann's normal and…
