Despite the large amount of work done in quantum field theory in curved space-times, there are not great many results available for perturbative calculations of particle processes in these systems. Such processes are expected to be…

These notes give an elementary approach to parts of the theory of standard Borel and analytic spaces.
We prove the following result on the timelike spherical Hilbert geometry of simplices: Let $\Delta_2$ be a simplex on the 2-sphere and $\tilde{\Delta}_2$ the antipodal simplex. We show that the timelike spherical Hilbert geometry associated…
The spherical centroid body of a centrally-symmetric convex body in the Euclidean unit sphere is introduced. Two alternative definitions - one geometric, the other probabilistic in nature - are given and shown to lead to the same objects.…
The Kepler Mission offers two options for observations -- either Long Cadence (LC) used for the bulk of core mission science, or Short Cadence (SC) which is used for applications such as asteroseismology of solar-like stars and transit…
An interpretation of selected parts of Newton's Principia, with modern notation and methods. Keplers Laws are derived from an inverse square law using Newton's methods.
This work addresses the Hamiltonian dynamics of the Kepler problem in a deformed phase space, by considering the equatorial orbit. The recursion operators are constructed and used to compute the integrals of motion. The same investigation…
The accelerated Kepler problem is obtained by adding a constant acceleration to the classical two-body Kepler problem. This setting models the dynamics of a jet-sustaining accretion disk and its content of forming planets as the disk loses…
We discuss how the classical notions of time and causal structure may emerge together with quantum-mechanical probabilities from a universal quantum state. For this, the process of decoherence between semiclassical branches is important.…
We extend the treatment of the problem of the gravitational waves produced by a particle of negligible mass orbiting a Kerr black hole using black hole perturbation theory in the time domain, to elliptic and inclined orbits. We model the…
A fundamental relation in celestial mechanics is Kepler's equation, linking an orbit's mean anomaly to its eccentric anomaly and eccentricity. Being transcendental, the equation cannot be directly solved for eccentric anomaly by…
Self-similar spacetimes are of importance to cosmology and to gravitational collapse problems. We show that self-similarity or the existence of a homothetic Killing vector field for spherically symmetric spacetimes implies the separability…
We survey the salient features and problems of conformal and superconformal mechanics and portray some of its developments over the past decade. Both classical and quantum issues of single- and multiparticle systems are covered.
We consider an inverse variational problem for the lines of constant curvature in (pseudo-)Euclidean two-, three-, and four-dimensional spaces. The accumulated results are physically meaningful in the case of relativistic mechanics of…
We produce precise estimates for the Kogbetliantz kernel for the approximation of functions on the sphere. Furthermore, we propose and study a new approximation kernel, which has slightly better properties.
We develop a framework for studying quasi-periodic maps and diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, we prove that the Euler equation is locally well posed in a space of quasi-periodic vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In…
An idealised experiment estimating the spacetime topology is considered in both classical and quantum frameworks. The latter is described in terms of histories approach to quantum theory. A procedure creating combinatorial models of…
A deformation of special relativistic kinematics (possible signal of a theory of quantum gravity at low energies) leads to a modification of the notion of spacetime. At the classical level, this modification is required when one considers a…
The spatial Kepler problem with a perturbation satisfying the rotational symmetry w.r.t. the $z$-axis and the reflection symmetry w.r.t. the $(x, y)$-plane, can be reduced to an Hamiltonian system with 2 degrees of freedom after fixing the…
