We present a new method for embedding a causal set into an interval of Minkowski spacetime. The method uses spacetime volumes for causally related elements to define causal set analogs of Minkowski inner products. These are used to…
An alternate definition of the box-counting dimension is proposed, to provide a better approximation for fractals involving rotation such as the 'Bradley Spiral' structure. A curve fitting comparison of this definition with the box-counting…
We introduce the notion of dynamical metric order of a continuous map on a compact metric space, study its basic properties, and compute it for several classes of maps. This concept which is a counterpart of the metric mean dimension with…
The primary objective of the present paper is to develop the theory of quantization dimension of an invariant measure associated with an iterated function system consisting of finite number of contractive infinitesimal similitudes in a…
In the first part of the paper, we define an approximated Brunn-Minkowski inequality which generalizes the classical one for length spaces. Our new definition based only on distance properties allows us also to deal with discrete spaces.…
A rigorous mathematical theory of dimensional analysis, systematically accounting for the use of physical quantities in science and engineering, perhaps surprisingly, was not developed until relatively recently. We claim that this has…
The problem of estimating, from a random sample of points, the dimension of a compact subset $S$ of the Euclidean space is considered. The emphasis is put on consistency results in the statistical sense. That is, statements of convergence…
We discuss a number of techniques for determining the Minkowski dimension of bounded subsets of some Euclidean space of any dimension, including: the box-counting dimension and equivalent definitions based on various box-counting functions;…
The Minkowski question mark function is a rich object which can be explored from the perspective of dynamical systems, complex dynamics, metric number theory, multifractal analysis, transfer operators, integral transforms, and as a function…
Pairs of metrics in a three-dimensional linear vector space are considered, one of which is a Minkowski type metric with the signature (+,-,-). Such metric pairs are classified and canonical presentations for them in each class are…
The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain features of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is…
We present an approach to the study of stationary measures placing Tarski's foundational work in this area within a modern category theoretic context. Guiding this work is the notion that measurable spaces equipped with symmetries carry an…
In this exposition of the equality and inequality of Minkowski for multiplicity of ideals, we provide simple algebraic and geometric proofs. Connections with mixed multiplicities of ideals are explained.
In this article, we introduce the concept of lexicographic metric space and, after discussing some basic properties of these metric spaces, such as completeness, boundedness, compactness and separability, we obtain a formula for the metric…
A new characterization of conformal transformations is given. By use of this, the general form of conformal transformation on two-dimensional Minkowski space is given and its conformal structure is analyzed.
Minkowski functionals have recently been introduced into cosmology as novel tools for studying the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe. We present a brief overview of the method, including its mathematical foundations as well…
A pair of subsets of Euclidean space which nearly achieves equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality must nearly coincide with a pair of homothetic convex sets. The two-dimensional case was treated in a previous paper in this series by an…
Gromov introduced two distance functions, the box distance and the observable distance, on the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces and developed the convergence theory of metric measure spaces. We investigate several…
After calculating the Dushnik-Miller dimension of Minkowski spaces to be countable infinity, we define a novel notion of dimension for ordered spaces recovering the correct manifold dimension and obtain a corresponding obstruction for the…
Diakonov theory of quantum gravity, in which tetrads emerge as the bilinear combinations of the fermionis fields,\cite{Diakonov2011} suggests that in general relativity the metric may have dimension 2, i.e. $[g_{\mu\nu}]=1/[L]^2$. Several…
