A common approach to metric-affine, local Poincar\'e, special-relativistic and Galilei spacetime geometry is developed. Starting from an affine composite bundle, we introduce local reference frames and their evolution along worldlines and…
We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…
We survey the progress on the study of symplectic geometry past five decades. The survey focuses on the convexity properties of a moment map, the classification of symplectic actions, the symplectic embedding problems, and the theory of…
The work consists of solutions of metric problems for convex and finite subsets of geodesic spaces.
The notion of G-structure is defined and various geometrical and topological aspects of such structures are discussed. A particular chain of subgroups in the affine group for Minkowski space is chosen and the canonical geometrical and…
In this paper we review the known facts on isometries of Minkowski geometries and prove some new results on them. We give the normal forms of two special classes of operators and also characterize the isometry group of Minkowski $3$-spaces…
In this article we carry out a detailed investigation of the geometric nature of the points at infinity of Minkowski superspace. It turns out that there are several sets of points forming the superconformal boundary of Minkowski superspace:…
Parametric geometry of numbers is a new theory, recently created by Schmidt and Summerer, which unifies and simplifies many aspects of classical Diophantine approximations, providing a handle on problems which previously seemed out of…
The paper has a form of a talk on the given topic. It consists of three parts. The first part of the paper contains main notions, the second one is devoted to logical geometry, the third part describes types and isotypeness. The problems…
We revisit the early work of Minkowski and Sommerfeld concerning hyperbolic motion, and we describe some geometrical aspects of the electrodynamic interaction. We discuss the advantages of a time symmetric formulation in which the material…
An algebraic formulation of Riemannian geometry on quantum spaces is presented, where Riemannian metric, distance, Laplacian, connection, and curvature have their counterparts. This description is also extended to complex manifolds.…
We present an introduction to the theory of algebraic geometry codes. Starting from evaluation codes and codes from order and weight functions, special attention is given to one-point codes and, in particular, to the family of Castle codes.
Hilbert's Foundations of Geometry was perhaps one of the most influential works of geometry in the 20th century and its axiomatics was the first systematic attempt to clear up the logical gaps of the Elements. But does it have gaps of its…
Whereas for a substantial part, Finite Geometry during the past 50 years has focussed on geometries over finite fields, geometries over finite rings that are not division rings have got less attention. Nevertheless, several important…
This paper concerns the number of lattice points in a circle.
We present a comprehensive introduction to the kinematics of special relativity based on Minkowski diagrams and provide a graphical alternative to each and every topic covered in a standard introductory sequence. Compared to existing…
A world sheet in Lorentz-Minkowski space is a timelike submanifold consisting of a one-parameter family of spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space. In this paper we investigate differential geometry of world sheets in…
Metric spaces are a fundamental component of mathematics and have a paramount importance as a framework for measuring distance. They can be found in many different branches of mathematics, such as analysis and topology. This paper offers an…
The physical consistency of the match of piecewise-$C^0$ metrics is discussed. The mathematical theory of gravitational discontinuity hypersurfaces is generalized to cover the match of regularly discontinuous metrics. The mean-value…
A panoramic view, preceded by a short background of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwellian electrodynamics, is offered on the extent of how Einstein's space-time geometry, believed to be central to an understanding of the structure of the…
