In this paper universality limits are studied in connection with measures which exhibit power-type singular behavior somewhere in their support. We extend the results of Lubinsky for Jacobi measures supported on $ [-1,1] $ to generalized…
The remarkable properties of the recently proposed geodesic light-cone (GLC) gauge allow to explicitly solve the geodetic-deviation equation, and thus to derive an exact expression for the Jacobi map J^A_B(s,o) connecting a generic source s…
An analytical solution to the nonlinear differential equation describing the equation of motion of a particle moving in an unforced physical system with linear damping, governed by a cubic potential well, is presented in terms of the Jacobi…
Methods based on "(Jacobian) matrix measure" to show the convergence of a dynamical system to a limit cycle (LC), generally assume that the measure is negative everywhere on the LC. We relax this assumption by assuming that the matrix…
It is proposed how to impose a general type of ''noncommutativity'' within classical mechanics from first principles. Formulation is performed in completely alternative way, i.e. without any resort to fuzzy and/or star product philosophy,…
We construct a unified covariant derivative that contains the sum of an affine connection and a Yang-Mills field. With it we construct a lagrangian that is invariant both under diffeomorphisms and Yang-Mills gauge transformations. We assume…
The Newtonian limit of the most general fourth order gravity is performed with metric approach in the Jordan frame with no gauge condition. The most general theory with fourth order differential equations is obtained by generalizing the…
The geometric formulation of Hamilton--Jacobi theory for systems with nonholonomic constraints is developed, following the ideas of the authors in previous papers. The relation between the solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi problem with the…
We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…
We propose a minimal description of single field dark energy/modified gravity within the effective field theory formalism for cosmological perturbations, which encompasses most existing models. We start from a generic Lagrangian given as an…
Asymptotic approximations of Jacobi polynomials are given in terms of elementary functions for large degree $n$ and parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$. From these new results, asymptotic expansions of the zeros are derived and methods are…
The requirement that both the matter and the geometry of a spacetime canonically evolve together, starting and ending on shared Cauchy surfaces and independently of the intermediate foliation, leaves one with little choice for…
We consider a single Abelian Higgs vortex on a surface {\Sigma} whose Gaussian curvature K is small relative to the size of the vortex, and analyse vortex motion by using geodesics on the moduli space of static solutions. The moduli space…
We present a construction of the Jacobi-Maupertuis (JM) principle for an equation of the Lienard type, viz \ddot{x} + f(x)x^2 + g(x) = 0 using Jacobi's last multiplier. The JM metric allows us to reformulate the Newtonian equation of motion…
A general affine connection has enough degrees of freedom to describe the classical gravitational and electromagnetic fields in the metric-affine formulation of gravity. The gravitational field is represented in the Lagrangian by the…
Invariants at arbitrary and fixed energy (strongly and weakly conserved quantities) for 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems are treated in a unified way. This is achieved by utilizing the Jacobi metric geometrization of the dynamics. Using…
This is a consecutive paper on the timelike geodesic structure of static spherically symmetric spacetimes. First we show that for a stable circular orbit (if it exists) in any of these spacetimes all the infinitesimally close to it timelike…

We consider geometries on the space of Riemannian metrics conformally equivalent to the widely studied Ebin L^2 metric. Among these we characterize a distinguished metric that can be regarded as a generalization of Calabi's metric on the…
