In any attempt to build a quantum theory of gravity, a central issue is to unravel the structure of space-time at the smallest scale. Of particular relevance is the possible definition of coordinate functions within the theory and the study…
Smooth Kahler-Einstein metrics have been studied for the past 80 years. More recently, singular Kahler-Einstein metrics have emerged as objects of intrinsic interest, both in differential and algebraic geometry, as well as a powerful tool…
We consider some general aspects of the new noncommutative or quantum geometry coming out of the theory of quantum groups, in connection with Planck scale physics. A generalisation of Fourier or wave-particle duality on curved spaces…
In this paper we study surfaces in Euclidean 3-space foliated by pieces of circles and that satisfy a Weingarten condition of type $a H+b K=c$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are constant and $H$ and $K$ denote the mean curvature and the Gauss…
It is supposed the existence of a curved graphene sheet with the geometry of a Bour surface $B_{n}$, such as the catenoid (or helicoid), $B_{0}$, and the classical Enneper surface, $B_{2}$, among others. In particular, in this work, the…
Felix Klein's so-called Erlangen Program was published in 1872 as professoral dissertation. It proposed a new solution to the problem how to classify and characterize geometries on the basis of projective geometry and group theory. The…
On the Kummer surface, we have obtained two different Gauss metrices by parametrizing it in two ways. We have found that these Gauss metrices are not Ricci flat. The double sphere, which is the special case of the Kummer surface, has the…
In this paper, we derive the exact formula of Klein's fundamental 2-form of second kind for the so-called $C_{ab}$ curves. The problem was initially solved by Klein in the 19th century for the hyper-elliptic curves, but little progress had…
This review describes a link between Lax operators, embedded surfaces and Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations for integrable quantum field theories. This surprising connection between classical and quantum models is undoubtedly one of the…
Going back to the early days in the history of quantum mechanics, the interaction of quantum and classical systems stands among the most intriguing open questions in science and makes its appearance in several fields, from physics to…
This introduction to Lifshitz-type field theories reviews some of its aspects in Particle Physics. Attractive features of these models are described with different examples, as the improvement of graphs convergence, the introduction of new…
We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…
These are notes for the CIME school on Complex non-K\"ahler geometry from July 9th to July 13th of 2018 in Cetraro, Italy. It is an overview of different properties of a class of non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds called LVMB manifolds,…
We consider Lie minimal surfaces, the critical points of the simplest Lie sphere invariant energy, in Riemannian space forms. These surfaces can be characterized via their Euler-Lagrange equations, which take the form of differential…

The investigation of the relation among the distances of an arbitrary point in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the vertices of a regular $n$-simplex in that space has led us to the study of simplices having a regular facet. Calling an…
There are two basic angles associated with a pair of linear subspaces: the Diximier angle and the Friedrichs angle. The Dixmier angle of the pair of orthogonal complements is the same as the Dixmier angle of the original pair provided that…
The development of quantum theory on a torus has a long history, and can be traced back to the 1920s, with the attempts by Nordstr\"om, Kaluza and Klein to define a fourth spatial dimension with a finite size, being curved in the form of a…
A Riemannian geometry of noncommutative n-dimensional surfaces is developed as a first step towards the construction of a consistent noncommutative gravitational theory. Historically, as well, Riemannian geometry was recognized to be the…
In this study, we define some new types of ruled surfaces called slant ruled surfaces. We give some characterizations for a regular ruled surface to be a slant ruled surface in Euclidean 3- space. We show that if the slant ruled surface is…
