A complete and explicit classification of all independent local conservation laws of Maxwell's equations in four dimensional Minkowski space is given. Besides the elementary linear conservation laws, and the well-known quadratic…
The classical Minkowski inequality implies that the volume of a bounded convex domain is controlled from above by the integral of the mean curvature of its boundary. In this note, we establish an analogous inequality without the convexity…
We investigate the limitations of length measurements by accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime brought about via the hypothesis of locality, namely, the assumption that an accelerated observer at each instant is equivalent to an…
Tensorial curvature measures are tensor-valued generalizations of the curvature measures of convex bodies. We prove a complete set of kinematic formulae for such tensorial curvature measures on convex bodies and for their (nonsmooth)…
The four dimensional spacetime continuum, as first conceived by Minkowski, has become the dominant framework within which to describe physical laws. In this paper, we show how this four-dimensional structure is a natural property of…
A systematic approach has been developed to encompass the Minkowski-type extension of Euclidean geometry such that a one-vector anisotropy is permitted, retaining simultaneously the concept of angle. For the respective geometry, the…
General results on convex bodies are reviewed and used to derive an exact closed-form parametric formula for the Minkowski sum boundary of $m$ arbitrary ellipsoids in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. Expressions for the principal curvatures…
In this paper, we first establish an equivalence theorem of Minkowski spaces by using results in centro-affine differential geometry. As an application in Finsler geometry, we gives some new characterizations of Berwald spaces.
We investigate elementary properties of successive radii in generalized Minkowski spaces (that is, with respect to gauges), i.e., we measure the "size" of a given convex set in a finite-dimensional real vector space with respect to another…
In free completely symmetric tensor gauge field theories on Minkowski space-time, all gauge invariant functions and Killing tensor fields are computed, both on-shell and off-shell. These problems are addressed in the metric-like formalisms.
The famous Minkowski inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K,M[n-1])$ of two convex bodies $K,M\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of powers of the volumes of the individual bodies $K$ and $M$. The special case where $K$…
In this research article, we formulate and prove multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem and integrated form of multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem for functions with values in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. Established…
The $r$-parallel set to a set $A$ in Euclidean space consists of all points with distance at most $r$ from $A$. Recently, the asymptotic behaviour of volume and the surface area of parallel sets as $r$ tends to 0 has been studied and some…
A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used…
On a convex body in a Euclidean space, we introduce a new variational formulation for its Funk metric, a Finsler metric compatible with the tautological Finsler structure of the convex body. We generalize the metric on Teichmuller spaces…
The nonlocal theory of accelerated systems is extended to linear gravitational waves as measured by accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime. The implications of this approach are discussed. In particular, the nonlocal modifications of…
For a broad class of integral functionals defined on the space of $n$-dimensional convex bodies, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for monotonicity, and necessary conditions for the validity of a Brunn-Minkowski type…
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 discuss the notions of circumradius, inradius, diameter, and minimum width in generalized Minkowski spaces (that is, with respect to gauges), i.e., we measure the "size" of a given convex set in a finite-dimensional real vector space…
We present a tensor description of Euclidean spaces that emphasizes the use of geometric vectors. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach by proving of a number of integral identities with vector integrands.
