Classical integral geometry takes place in Euclidean space, but one can attempt to imitate it in any other metric space. In particular, one can attempt this in R^n equipped with the metric derived from the p-norm. This has, in effect, been…
Non-Euclidean method of the generalized geometry construction is considered. According to this approach any generalized geometry is obtained as a result of deformation of the proper Euclidean geometry. The method may be applied for…
This paper presents a unified metric-based framework for triangle geometric inequalities using barycentric coordinates. By interpreting classical inequalities as squared distances between points(a process termed metricization)we derive and…
The Penrose inequality in Minkowski is a geometric inequality relating the total outer null expansion and the area of closed, connected and spacelike codimension-two surfaces S in the Minkowski spacetime, subject to an additional convexity…
We prove that the Brouwer degree $\mathrm{deg}(u,U,\cdot)$ for a function $u\in C^{0,\alpha}( U;\mathbb{R}^n)$ is in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if $1\leq p<\frac{n\alpha}d$, where $U\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is open and bounded and $d$ is the box…
These informal notes, not intended for publication, provide an approach to the Borsuk--Ulam theorem via Stokes' theorem, in a similar spirit to Lima's proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. They are intended to be accessible to anyone…
This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…
Inspired by a didactic experience in an academic environment, and following the idea given by M. Villa in \cite{Villa}, we illustrate two different proofs of an important result in Euclidean geometry studied in the first two years of…
Inspired by the prospect of having discretized spaces emerge from random graphs, we construct a collection of simple and explicit exponential random graph models that enjoy, in an appropriate parameter regime, a roughly constant vertex…
The purpose of this essay is to trace the historical development of geometry while focusing on how we acquired mathematical tools for describing the "shape of the universe." More specifically, our aim is to consider, without a claim to…
Noticing that all of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries treatments of trigonometry surveyed in this article are conceptually or logically defective, it is required to seek a conceptually sound and logically correct foundations of the…
Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…
It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…
Inspired by the concept of evolutoids of planar curves, we present the concept of evolutoids for regular surfaces as an envelope of a two-parameter family of lines in Euclidean 3-space. We give an explicit parametrization for such…
The paper is essentially a continuation of B.Plotkin, G.Zhitomirski, "Some logical invariants of algebras and logical relations between algebras", St.Peterburg Math. J., {19:5}, (2008) 859 -- 879, whose main notion is that of…
The inscribed angle theorem, a famous result about the angle subtended by a chord within a circle, is well known and commonly taught in school curricula. In this paper, we present a generalisation of this result (and other related circle…
The goal of this paper is to give a purely geometric proof of a theorem by Branko Gr\"unbaum concerning configuration of triangles coming from the classical Napoleon's theorem in planar Euclidean geometry.
It is a ubiquitous opinion among mathematicians that a real number is just a point in the line. If this rough definition is not enough, then a mathematician may provide a formal definition of the real numbers in the set theoretic and…
In the seminal work of Balogh-Buckley [Invent. Math. 2003], the authors asked the following fundamental open problem: for proper subdomains in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, does the ball separation condition alone imply the…
Given a finite group $G$ and two unitary $G$-representations $V$ and $W$, possible restrictions on Brouwer degrees of equivariant maps between representation spheres $S(V)$ and $S(W)$ are usually expressed in a form of congruences modulo…
