In this paper, we study the problem of finding the affine factorable surfaces in a 3-dimensional isotropic space with prescribed Gaussian (K) and mean (H) curvature. Because the absolute figure two different types of these surfaces appear…

In this paper, a Fourier series in fractional dimensional space is introduced for an arbitrarily periodic function $f(t;\alpha)$. We call it fractional Fourier series of the order $\alpha$. Extending the basis functions of the linear space…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…

We study solutions of the Klein-Gordon, Maxwell, and linearized Einstein equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1,d+1}$ that transform as $d$-dimensional conformal primaries under the Lorentz group $SO(1,d+1)$. Such solutions, called conformal primary…

Many algorithms in numerical analysis are affine equivariant: they are immune to changes of affine coordinates. This is because those algorithms are defined using affine invariant constructions. There is, however, a crucial ingredient…

It has been conjectured that a complete set of mutually unbiased bases in a space of dimension d exists if and only if there is an affine plane of order d. We introduce affine constellations and compare their existence properties with those…

We analyze the pattern of fields in d+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space in terms of those in d dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The procedure, which is neither dimensional reduction nor dimensional compactification, is called dimensional…

Let $R$ be a smooth affine domain of dimension $d\geq 2$ over an infinite perfect field $k$. We establish a morphism from the Euler class group $E^d(R)$ to $Um_{d+1}(R)/E_{d+1}(R)$, the group of elementary orbits of unimodular rows.

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and $n \geq p \geq r>0$ be integers. In a recent article, Rubei has determined, when $\mathbb{F}$ is the field of real numbers, the greatest possible dimension for an affine subspace of $n$--by--$p$ matrices…

Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…

We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…
