The gyrogroup is the closest algebraic structure to the group ever discovered. It has a binary operation $\star$ containing an identity element such that each element has an inverse. Furthermore, for each pair $(a,b)$ of elements of this…
The concept of gyrogroups, with a weaker algebraic structure without associative law, was introduced under the background of $c$-ball of relativistically admissible velocities with Einstein velocity addition. A topological gyrogroup is just…
Geometric number systems, obtained by extending the real number system to include new anticommuting square roots of +1 and -1, provide a royal road to higher mathematics by largely sidestepping the tedious languages of tensor analysis and…
We set up a framework for using algebraic geometry to study the generalised cohomology rings that occur in algebraic topology. This idea was probably first introduced by Quillen and it underlies much of our understanding of complex oriented…
By exploiting the arithmetic homotopy of the moduli spaces of curves, Galois-Teichm\"uller theory stands at the interface of braid-mapping class groups and of anabelian geometry. Starting from the classical braid-theoretic construction of…
This is an expository treatise on the development of the classical geometries, starting from the origins of Euclidean geometry a few centuries BC up to around 1870. At this time classical differential geometry came to an end, and the…
The geometry of elliptic fibrations translates to the physics of gauge theories in F-theory. We systematically develop the dictionary between arithmetic structures on elliptic curves as well as desingularized elliptic fibrations and…
Cycle polytopes of matroids have been introduced in combinatorial optimization as a generalization of important classes of polyhedral objects like cut polytopes and Eulerian subgraph polytopes associated to graphs. Here we start an…
The nature of gravitational singularities has been questioned by some recent research, challenging the notion that classical determinism breaks down at these points. By allowing for dynamic changes in the orientation of spatial…
In this paper we introduce distinct approaches to loop braid groups, a generalisation of braid groups, and unify all the definitions that have appeared so far in literature, with a complete proof of the equivalence of these definitions.…
The Heisenberg groups are examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to the Euclidean space. Their metric is derived from curves which are only allowed to move in so-called horizontal directions. We report on…
We study an isomorphism between the group of rigid body displacements and the group of dual quaternions modulo the dual number multiplicative group from the viewpoint of differential geometry in a projective space over the dual numbers.…
This is a systematic introduction for physicists to the theory of algebras and groups with braid statistics, as developed over the last three years by the author. There are braided lines, braided planes, braided matrices and braided groups…
The outlines of a "Galois theory" for bimeromorphic geometry is here developed, via the study of model-theoretic definable binding groups in the theory CCM of compact complex spaces. As an application, a structure theorem about principal…
: Algebraic properties of orbifold models on arbitrary Riemann surfaces are investigated. The action of mapping class group transformations and of standard geometric operations is given explicitly. An infinite dimensional extension of the…
We consider complex projective structures on Riemann surfaces and their groups of projective automorphisms. We show that the structures achieving the maximal possible number of projective automorphisms allowed by their genus are precisely…
A formalism describing the dynamics of classical and quantum systems from a group theoretical point of view is presented. We apply it to the simple example of the classical free particle. The Galileo group $G$ is the symmetry group of the…
We propose a generalisation of the notion of associated bundles to a principal bundle constructed via group action cocycles rather than via mere representations of the structure group. We devise a notion of connection generalising Ehresmann…
The aim of this article is to give a survey of combination theorems occurring in hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory and complex dynamics, with a particular focus on Thurston's contribution and influence in the field.
There is a family of vector bundles over the moduli space of stable curves that, while first appearing in theoretical physics, has been an active topic of study for algebraic geometers since the 1990s. By computing the rank of the…
