One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…

We consider a one-parametric series of left-invariant Lorentzian structures on the universal covering of the Lie group SL(2,R). These structures have SO(1,1)-symmetry and they are deformations of the anti-de Sitter Lorentzian manifold. We…

Quadrilateral layouts on surfaces are valuable in texture mapping, and essential in generation of quadrilateral meshes and in fitting splines. Previous work has characterized such layouts as a special metric on a surface or as a meromorphic…

We consider an inverse problem for a non-linear hyperbolic equation. We show that conformal structure of a Lorentzian manifold can be determined by the source-to-solution map evaluated along a single timelike curve. We use the microlocal…

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…

The definition of conservative-irreversible functions is extended to smooth manifolds. The local representation of these functions is studied and reveals that not each conservative-irreversible function is given by the weighted product of…

Lorentzian 4-metrics are expressed in spinorial coordinates. In these coordinates the metric components can be factorized into a product of complex conjugate quantities. The linearized theory and Einstein's vacuum field equations are…

Having developed a description of indefinite extrinsic symmetric spaces by corresponding infinitesimal objects in the preceding paper we now study the classification problem for these algebraic objects. In most cases the transvection group…

Euclidean distance geometry is the study of Euclidean geometry based on the concept of distance. This is useful in several applications where the input data consists of an incomplete set of distances, and the output is a set of points in…

We classify transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. The construction involves an iteration procedure on an infinite-dimensional…

In this note, the idea of finite dimensional $L^p$ spaces is transferred to Lorentzian length spaces to provide an example that is locally nowhere Minkowskian. Looking at the sectional curvature bounds of this example leads to the more…
