We look at the covariant techniques and the ideas on constraints and gauge-invariance, which were recently employed in [gr-qc/0702104] to support earlier work by the same authors. That work was criticised in [gr-qc/0503042]. Using very…
We formulate several conjectures on mean convex domains in the Euclidean spaces, as well as in more general spaces with lower bonds on their scalar curvatures, and prove a few theorems motivating these conjectures.
We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An…
In this paper after recalling some essential tools concerning the theory of differential forms in the Cartan, Hodge and Clifford bundles over a Riemannian or Riemann-Cartan space or a Lorentzian or Riemann-Cartan spacetime we solve with…
The aim of this review is to discuss the ways to obtain results based on gravity with higher derivatives in D-dimensional world. We considered the following ways: (1) reduction to scalar tensor gravity, (2) direct solution of the equations…
Convergence results are stated for the variational iteration method applied to solve an initial value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations.
This is an overview on derived nonhomogeneous Koszul duality over a field, mostly based on the author's memoir arXiv:0905.2621. The paper is intended to serve as a pedagogical introduction and a summary of the covariant duality between…
A covariant quantization method for physical systems with reducible constraints is presented.
We give an overview of invariants of algebraic singularities over perfect fields. We then show how they lead to a synthetic proof of embedded resolution of singularities of 2-dimensional schemes.
In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…
This article establishes several remarkably simple identities relating certain metric invariants of level curves of real and complex functions. In particular, we relate lengths of level curves to their curvature and to the gradient field of…
In this survey, I suggest to approach the problem of functorial properties of quantum cohomology by drawing lessons from several versions of Mirror duality involving deformation spaces.
In this short note a differential version of the classical Weil descent is established in all characteristics. This yields a ready-to-deploy tool of differential restriction of scalars for differential varieties over finite differential…
We introduce two valuation-based deviations on convex bodies. Using a construction that allows us to associate to these deviations "intrinsic" pseudometrics, we establish various results which capture information about the underlying…
The aim of this paper is the derivation of structure preserving schemes for the solution of the EPDiff equation, with particular emphasis on the two dimensional case. We develop three different schemes based on the Discrete Variational…
A typical geometry extracted from the path integral of a quantum theory of gravity might be quite complicated in the UV region. Even if such a configuration is not physical, it may be of interest to understand the details of its nature,…
A general semi-tetrad covariant approach is adopted to analyse the structure scalars of a Type II fluid in generalized Vaidya spacetime. The relationship between the $1+1+2$ covariant quantities and the structure scalars are obtained. We…
The main result of this paper gives a plenary proof on the curvature estimates for $k$ curvature equations with general right hand sides with $n<2k$ based on a concavity inequality. We further give a explicit lower bound of the inequality.
Mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces have been extensively studied and there are various different approaches and many beautiful results. However, relatively little is known about mean curvature flows of submanifolds of higher…
The first part of this paper discusses general procedures for finding numerical approximations to distinguished Kahler metrics, such as Calabi-Yau metrics, on complex projective manifolds. These procedures are closely related to ideas from…
