To every $n$-dimensional lens space $L$, we associate a congruence lattice $\mathcal L$ in $\mathbb Z^m$, with $n=2m-1$ and we prove a formula relating the multiplicities of Hodge-Laplace eigenvalues on $L$ with the number of lattice…
Riemannian geometry in four dimensions naturally leads to an SL(3) connection that annihilates a basis for self-dual two-forms. Einstein's equations may be written in terms of an SO(3) connection, with SO(3) chosen as an appropriate…
We consider 4-dimensional spacetime manifolds that are piecewise Lorentzian, where the Lorentzian components of the manifold are separated by codimension-one planes (spacelike or timelike) on which the metric is degenerate. Such manifolds…
We prove that each measure $\mu$ in $R^4$ admits an equipartition by 4 hyperplanes, provided that it is symmetric with respect to a 2-dimensional, affine subspace $L$ of $R^4$. Moreover we show, by computing the complete obstruction in the…
The relationship between associative composition algebras of dimensions 2 and 4 within the context of homogeneous spaces, with a particular focus on Hamiltonian quaternions, is explored. In the special case of Hamiltonian quaternions, the…
Given $mp$ different $p$-planes in general position in $(m+p)$-dimensional space, a classical problem is to ask how many $p$-planes intersect all of them. For example when $m = p = 2$, this is precisely the question of "lines meeting four…
A geometric construction of Getzler's cohomological relation in the moduli space of 4 pointed elliptic curves is given by a push-forward of a natural rational equivalence in a space of admissible covers. In particular, Getzler's relation is…
For each pair $(Q_i,Q_j)$ of reference points and each real number $r$ there is a unique hyperplane $h \perp Q_iQ_j$ such that $d(P,Q_i)^2 - d(P,Q_j)^2 = r$ for points $P$ in $h$. Take $n$ reference points in $d$-space and for each pair…
A lattice L is spatial if every element of L is a join of completely join-irreducible elements of L (points), and strongly spatial if it is spatial and the minimal coverings of completely join-irreducible elements are well-behaved.…
4-dimensional optics is here introduced axiomatically as the space that supports a Universal wave equation which is applied to the postulated Higgs field. Self-guiding of this field is shown to produce all the modes necessary to provide…
Planes are familiar mathematical objects which lie at the subtle boundary between continuous geometry and discrete combinatorics. A plane is geometrical, certainly, but the ways that two planes can interact break cleanly into discrete sets:…
Let $S$ be a finite set of geometric objects partitioned into classes or \emph{colors}. A subset $S'\subseteq S$ is said to be \emph{balanced} if $S'$ contains the same amount of elements of $S$ from each of the colors. We study several…
The coincidence site lattices (CSLs) of prominent 4-dimensional lattices are considered. CSLs in 3 dimensions have been used for decades to describe grain boundaries in crystals. Quasicrystals suggest to also look at CSLs in dimensions…
It is shown uniquely that quantized spaces are realised on four-dimensional compact manifolds. In the case of O(1,5) quantized space this are four independent parameters of O(5) unit vector; in the case of O(2,4) these are parameters of one…
It is shown how the theory of the fields can be constructed in a consistent way in quantized spaces. All constructions are connected with unitary irreducible representations of real forms of six dimensional rotation algebras O(1,5), O(2,4),…
This paper considers *-graphs in which all vertices have degree 4 or 6, and studies the question of calculating the genus of orientable 2-surfaces into which such graphs may be embedded. A *-graph is a graph endowed with a formal adjacency…
An ordinary plane of a finite set of points in real 3-space with no three collinear is a plane intersecting the set in exactly three points. We prove a structure theorem for sets of points spanning few ordinary planes. Our proof relies on…
We investigate the interplay and connections between symmetry properties of equations, the interpretation of coordinates, the construction of observables, and the existence of physical relativity principles in spacetime theories. Using the…
It is shown that coassociative cones in R^7 that are r-oriented and ruled by 2-planes are equivalent to CR-holomorphic curves in the oriented Grassmanian of 2-planes in R^7. The geometry of these CR-holomorphic curves is studied and related…
Let $N$ be a Riemannian, neutral or Lorentzian $4$-dimensional space form. In this paper, the expressions of the equations of Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci of a space-like or time-like surface in $N$ given in [7] are naturally understood in…
