The $\rho$-Minkowski space-time, a Lie-algebraic deformation of the usual Minkowski space-time is considered. A star-product realization of this quantum space-time together with the characterization of the deformed Poincar\'e symmetry…

The Smoluchowski equation with a time dependent sink term is solved exactly. In this method by knowing the probability distribution at the origin P(0,s), one may derive the probability distribution at all positions i.e., P(x,s). Further the…

The purpose of this article is to introduce and motivate the notion of Minkowski (or box) dimension for measures. The definition is simple and fills a gap in the existing literature on the dimension theory of measures. As the terminology…

In this paper, the $L_{p}$ chord Minkowski problem is concerned. Based on the results showed in \cite{HJ23}, we obtain a new existence result of solutions to this problem in terms of smooth measures by using a nonlocal Gauss curvature flow…

General relativity differs from other forces in nature in that it can be made to disappear locally. This is the essence of the equivalence principle. In general relativity the equivalence principle is implemented using differential…

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for a class of prescribed curvature equations in Minkowski space. We prove the existence of smooth spacelike hypersurfaces with a class of prescribed curvature and general boundary data based on…

The state-of-the-art physics consists of two irreconcilable branches, i.e., the quantum theory and the general relativity, which work well in their own territories, independently. However, what are quantum and spacetime after all? The key…

Let $m\in\mathbb{N},$ $m\geq 2,$ and let $\{p_j\}_{j=1}^m$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{S}^2$ such that $0\in\mathbb{R}^3$ lies in its positive convex hull. In this paper we make use of the classical Minkowski problem, to show the…

The classical Minkowski inequality implies that the volume of a bounded convex domain is controlled from above by the integral of the mean curvature of its boundary. In this note, we establish an analogous inequality without the convexity…

In many applications of the probabilistic method, one looks to study phenomena that occur ``with high probability''. More recently however, in an attempt to understand some of the most fundamental problems in combinatorics, researchers have…

We prove, for the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the homogeneous case, on the Minkowski space-time, a global in time existence and uniqueness theorem. The method we develop extends to the cases of some curved space-times such as the…

Minkowski's question mark function is the distribution function of a singular continuous measure: we study this measure from the point of view of logarithmic potential theory and orthogonal polynomials. We conjecture that it is regular, in…

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.…

In this two-part essay, we distinguish several senses in which general relativity has been regarded as "locally special relativistic". Here, in Part 1, we focus on senses in which a relativistic spacetime has been said to be "locally…
