We investigate connections between pairs of (pseudo-)Riemannian metrics whose sum is a (tensor) product of a covector field with itself. A bijective mapping between the classes of Euclidean and Lorentzian metrics is constructed as a special…

We prove a transverse diameter theorem in the context of Lorentzian foliations, which can be interpreted as a Hawking--Penrose-type singularity theorem for timelike geodesics transverse to the foliation. In order to develop the necessary…

We investigate the compatibility of Lorentzian amalgamation with various properties of Lorentzian pre-length spaces. In particular, we give conditions under which gluing of Lorentzian length spaces yields again a Lorentzian length space and…

In this paper, we analyze the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function using the multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm and computational visualization features. The nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function as well as the…

This paper is the first of three in which I study the moduli space of isometry classes of (compact) globally hyperbolic spacetimes (with boundary). I introduce a notion of Gromov-Hausdorff distance which makes this moduli space into a…

In a previous article [JHEP 1111 (2011) 072; arXiv:1108.4965] we have developed a Lorentzian version of the Quantum Regge Calculus in which the significant differences between simplices in Lorentzian signature and Euclidean signature are…

We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…

It is commonly known that in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian Geometry, the metric tensor on a manifold defines a distance function. In Lorentzian Geometry, instead of a distance function it provides causal relations and the Lorentzian…

We investigate geometric properties of a class of trace functions expressed in terms of the deformed logarithmic and exponential functions. These trace functions and their properties may be of independent interest. We use them in particular…

We study differentiability properties of functions defined in the euclidean space in terms of a conical square function which is analogue to the classical square function introduced by Stein and Zygmund in the sixties. Pointwise…

We review three examples of functors from Lorentzian categories and their applications in finiteness results, singularity theorems and boundary constructions. The third example is a novel functor from the category of ordered measure spaces…

Connes' functional formula of the Riemannian distance is generalized to the Lorentzian case using the so-called Lorentzian distance, the d'Alembert operator and the causal functions of a globally hyperbolic spacetime. As a step of the…

We introduce a notion of Lorentzian proper position in close analogy to proper position of stable polynomials. Using this notion, we give a new characterization of elementary quotients of M-convex function that parallels the Lorentzian…

In this paper, a survey of the recent results about the classification of the connected holonomy groups of the Lorentzian manifolds is given. A simplification of the construction of the Lorentzian metrics with all possible connected…

We analyze the convergence properties of operator product expansions (OPE) for Lorentzian CFT four-point functions of scalar operators. We give a complete classification of Lorentzian four-point configurations. All configurations in each…

Second-order symmetric Lorentzian spaces, that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative of the curvature tensor R, are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a…

We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection…

The mathematics of a 4-dimensional renormalizable generally covariant lagrangian model (with first order derivatives) is reviewed. The lorentzian CR manifolds are totally real submanifolds of 4(complex)-dimensional complex manifolds…

In this article we study minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms. First we prove that, for minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in a Lorentzian complex form, the equation of Ricci is a consequence of the equations of…

Slice-regular functions of a quaternionic variable have been studied extensively in the last 12 years, resulting, in many ways, quite close to classical holomorphic functions of a complex variable; indeed, there is a correspondence between…
