Standard practice attempts to remove coordinate influence in physics through the use of invariant equations. Trans-coordinate physics proceeds differently by not introducing space-time coordinates in the first place. Differentials taken…

In the present work the problem of distinguishing between essential and spurious (i.e., absorbable) constants contained in a metric tensor field in a Riemannian geometry is considered. The contribution of the study is the presentation of a…

The scalar invariant, I, constructed from the "square" of the first covariant derivative of the curvature tensor is used to probe the local geometry of static spacetimes which are also Einstein spaces. We obtain an explicit form of this…

We find a one-parameter family of Lagrangian descriptions for classical general relativity in terms of tetrads which are not c-numbers. Rather, they obey exotic commutation relations. These noncommutative properties drop out in the metric…

We analytically derive the covariant form of the Riemann (curvature) tensor for homogeneous Metric-Affine Cosmologies. That is, we present, in a Cosmological setting, the most general covariant form of the full Riemann tensor including also…

Riemannian geometry provides the fundamental framework for optimization on nonlinear spaces such as matrix manifolds, which arise in machine learning, signal processing, and robotics. While the underlying theory is classical, existing…

Sparsity-based representations have recently led to notable results in various visual recognition tasks. In a separate line of research, Riemannian manifolds have been shown useful for dealing with features and models that do not lie in…

A covariant functor from the category of generic complex algebraic curves to a category of the AF-algebras is constructed. The construction is based on a representation of the Teichmueller space of a curve by the measured foliations due to…

This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…

Non-Euclidean constraints are inherent in many kinds of data in computer vision and machine learning, typically as a result of specific invariance requirements that need to be respected during high-level inference. Often, these geometric…

Using Gauss's square-roots of the metric components, the diagonal Riemann tensor components for diagonal metrics are calculated. The result is a form which makes their source in the metric directly intuitive and displays an intriguing…

It is shown that the differential geometry of space-time, can be expressed in terms of the algebra of operators on a bundle of Hilbert spaces. The price for this is that the algebra of smooth functions on space-time has to be made…

Differential geomtrical methods for deriving the Dirac equation in Curved Spacetime are presented. Einstein's field equation is applied in a novel manner; in the most current standard reference, Birrell and Davies, 1994 [1], the suggestions…

There are many functions which are continuous everywhere but not differentiable at some points, like in physical systems of ECG, EEG plots, and cracks pattern and for several other phenomena. Using classical calculus those functions cannot…

A geometric representation is found for the previously obtained path integral reduction Jacobian in Wiener-type path integral when quantizing a model mechanical system, which is used to describe the motion of two interacting scalar…

We present a Riemannian framework for linear and quadratic discriminant classification on the tangent plane of the shape space of curves. The shape space is infinite dimensional and is constructed out of square root velocity functions of…

In the context of mathematical cosmology, the study of necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-Riemannian manifold to be a (generalised) Robertson-Walker space-time is important. In particular, it is a requirement for the development…

We seek for an alternative to the metric tensor $g_{\mu\nu}$ as a fundamental geometrical object in four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We suggest that the metric tensor $g_{\mu\nu}(P)$ at a given point $P$ of a manifold may be replaced…

We propose a covariant definition of an inertia tensor on spatial hypersurfaces in general relativity, constructed via integrals of geodesic distance functions using the exponential map. In the ADM 3+1 decomposition, we consider a spacelike…

In this paper, we propose a generalization of the Riemann curvature tensor on manifolds (of dimension two or higher) endowed with a Regge metric. Specifically, while all components of the metric tensor are assumed to be smooth within…
