This paper, we define the Mus-Gradient metric on tangent bundle $TM$ by a deformation non-conform of Sasaki metric over an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$. First we investigate the geometry of the Mus-Gradient metric and we…

By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…

We introduce fractional flat space, described by a continuous geometry with constant non-integer Hausdorff and spectral dimensions. This is the analogue of Euclidean space, but with anomalous scaling and diffusion properties. The basic tool…

This paper demonstrates that parallel vector curves are piecewise cubic rational curves in 3D piecewise linear vector fields. Parallel vector curves -- loci of points where two vector fields are parallel -- have been widely used to extract…

In this part of the series five-dimensional tangent vectors are introduced first as equivalence classes of parametrized curves and then as differential-algebraic operators that act on scalar functions. I then examine their basic algebraic…

We review part of the classical theory of curves and surfaces in $3$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. We focus in spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature pointing the differences and similarities with the Euclidean space.

We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular,…

The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…

In this paper, in Euclidean n -space, we investigate the relation between slant helices and spherical helices. Moreover, in E n, we show that a slant helix and the tangent indicatrix of the slant helix have the same axis (or direction).…

In a previous paper, we provided some update in the treatment of the finiteness theorem for rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type. In the present paper we present another improvement, introducing…

We outline a new approach to the characterization as well as to the classification of positive maps. This approach is based on the facial structures of the set of states and of the cone of positive maps. In particular, the equivalence…

In this paper we consider planar polygons with parallel opposite sides. This type of polygons can be regarded as discretizations of closed convex planar curves by taking tangent lines at samples with pairwise parallel tangents. For this…

In this paper, we give definitions and characterizations of normal and spherical curves in the dual space. We show that normal curves are also spherical curves in D^3.

In Euclidean geometry, all metric notions (arc length for curves, the first fundamental form for surfaces, etc.) are derived from the Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, and this inner product is preserved by the full symmetry group…

Given a smooth curve $\gamma$ in some $m$-dimensional surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, we study existence and uniqueness of a flat surface $H$ having the same field of normal vectors as $M$ along $\gamma$, which we call a flat…

In differential topology two smooth submanifolds $S_1$ and $S_2$ of euclidean space are said to be transverse if the tangent spaces at each common point together form a spanning set. The purpose of this article is to explore a much more…

An analog of the classical Doppler effect is investigated in spaces (manifolds) whose tangent bundle is endowed with a transport along paths, which, in particular, can be parallel one. The obtained results are valid irrespectively to the…
