Attention is focused on quantum spaces of particular importance in physics, i.e. two-dimensional quantum plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions, and q-deformed Minkowski space. Each of these quantum spaces can be…
It is shown how one can apply the classification of the holonomy algebras of Lorentzian manifolds to solve some problems. In particular, a new proof to the classification of Lorentzian manifolds with recurrent curvature tensor is given; the…
The geometry of rotations in dimensions 3, 4, and 5 is discussed using the matrix exponential map. Explicit closed formulas for the exponential of an antisymmetric matrix, as well as the logarithm of a rotation, are given for these…
The form and application of the Lanczos potential for Bianchi spacetime are studied. The Lanczos potential is found in some specific cases then the general case studied. It leads to two coupled first order partial differential equations…
It is shown that performing simultaneously two transformations on functions of space and time (for instance a Fourier transform on the space variable and a Laplace transform on the time variable) can be easier than performing them one after…
Starting with two light clocks to derive time dilation expression, as many textbooks do, and then adding a third one, we work on relativistic spacetime coordinates relations for some simple events as emission, reflection and return of light…
We improve a specific method to obtain the dimension of the eigenspaces of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on lens spaces and establish some applications related to the explicit description of the dimension of the smallest positive eigenvalue…
In Part 1 of this study we showed, for a wide range of geometries, that the relationships between their concept-sets are fully determined by those between their (affine) automorphism groups. In this (self-contained) part, we show how this…
The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, we look at the fractional Laplacian and the conformal fractional Laplacian from the general framework of representation theory on symmetric spaces and, second, we construct new boundary operators…
As a difference with the positive-definite Riemannian case, in the Lorentzian case there exists proper second-order symmetric spacetimes, i.e., those with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemannian tensor…
We provide a rigorous study on dimensions of fractal interpolation function defined on a closed and bounded interval of $\mathbb{R}$ which is associated to a continuous function with respect to a base function, scaling functions and a…
In this article some explicit estimates on the decay of the convolutive inverse of a sequence are proved. They are derived from the functional calculus for Sobolev algebras. Applications include localization in spline-type spaces and…
In this talk I shall try to give an elementary introduction to certain areas of mathematical physics where the idea of moduli space is used to help solve problems or to further our understanding. In the wide area of gauge theory, I shall…
We study the conformal bootstrap in fractional space-time dimensions, obtaining rigorous bounds on operator dimensions. Our results show strong evidence that there is a family of unitary CFTs connecting the 2D Ising model, the 3D Ising…
A double covering of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group is understood as a complexification of the special unimodular group of second order (a double covering of the 3-dimensional rotation group). In virtue of such an interpretation the…
We provide a computational definition of the notions of vector space and bilinear functions. We use this result to introduce a minimal language combining higher-order computation and linear algebra. This language extends the Lambda-calculus…
We discuss non-Lorentzian Lagrangian field theories in $2n-1$ dimensions that admit an $SU(1,n)$ spacetime symmetry which includes a scaling transformation. These can be obtained by a conformal compactification of a $2n$-dimensional…
In a conformal field theory, two and three-point functions of scalar operators and conserved currents are completely determined, up to constants, by conformal invariance. The expressions for these correlators in Euclidean signature are long…
Inverse Laplace transform on the lattice spacing is introduced as a computational framework of the extrapolation of the strong coupling expansion to the scaling region. We apply the transform to the two-dimensional non-linear O(N) model at…
Starting from a suggestion of Einstein on the construction of the concept of space, we elaborate an intrinsic method to obtain space and time transformations between two inertial spaces of reference, mathematically modeled as affine…
