We reinterpret special relativity, or more precisely its de Sitter deformation, in terms of 3d conformal geometry, as opposed to (3+1)d spacetime geometry. An inertial observer, usually described by a geodesic in spacetime, becomes instead…

We develop an inversive geometry for anisotropic quadradic spaces, in analogy with the classical inversive geometry of a Euclidean plane.
The purpose of this paper is to propose the implementation of some methods from algebraic geometry in the theory of gravitation, and more especially in the variational formalism. It has been assumed that the metric tensor depends on two…
The `classical' model for a massive spinning particle, which was recently proposed, is derived from the isotropic rotator model. Through this derivation, we note that the spin can be understood as the relativistic extension of the isotropic…
We consider the equations describing the dynamics of radial motions for isotropic elastic materials; these form a system of non-homogeneous conservation laws. We construct a variational approximation scheme that decreases the total…
One of the oldest methods for constructing integrable Hamiltonian systems, proposed by Jacobi, recently is being presented as a novel St\"{a}ckel lift construction related with Haantjes geometry. It may cause some confusion.
