Contact algebra is one of the main tools in the region-based theory of space. It is an extension of Boolean algebra with a relation called contact. The elements of the Boolean algebra are considered as formal representations of physical…
Contact Boolean algebras are one of the main algebraic tools in region-based theory of space. T. Ivanova provided strong motivations for the study of merely semilattices with a contact relation. Another significant motivation for…
We devise exact conditions under which a join semilattice with a weak contact relation can be semilattice embedded into a Boolean algebra with an overlap contact relation, equivalently, into a distributive lattice with additive contact…
The notions of a {\em 2-precontact space}\/ and a {\em 2-contact space}\/ are introduced. Using them, new representation theorems for precontact and contact algebras are proved. It is shown that there are bijective correspondences between…
The paper is in the field of Region Based Theory of Space (RBTS), sometimes called mereotopology. RBTS is a kind of point-free theory of space based on the notion of region. Its origin goes back to some ideas of Whitehead, De Laguna and…
The set theory relations \in, \backslash, \Delta, \cap, and \cup have corollaries in subspace relations. Geometric Algebra is introduced as the ideal framework to explore these subspace operations. The relations \in, \backslash, and \Delta…
Generalised contact structures are studied from the point of view of reduced generalised complex structures, naturally incorporating non-coorientable structures as non-trivial fibering. The infinitesimal symmetries are described in detail,…
This paper deals with join-semilattices whose sections, i.e. principal filters, are pseudocomplemented lattices. The pseudocomplement of a\vee b in the section [b,1] is denoted by a\rightarrow b and can be considered as the connective…
One of the standard axioms for Boolean Contact Algebras says that if a region x is in contact with the join of y and z, then x is in contact with at least one of the two regions. Our intention is to examine a stronger version of this axiom…
Generalized contact bundles are odd dimensional analogues of generalized complex manifolds. They have been introduced recently and very little is known about them. In this paper we study their local structure. Specifically, we prove a local…
After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds with an effective action of a torus whose Reeb vector field corresponds to an element of the Lie algebra of the torus, we…
We propose a new contact relation between polytopes. Intuitively, we say that two polytopes are in strong contact if a small enough object can pass from one of them to the other while remaining in their union. In the first half of the paper…
We consider the Lie algebra of all vector fields on a contact manifold as a module over the Lie subalgebra of contact vector fields. This module is split into a direct sum of two submodules: the contact algebra itself and the space of…
Classical contact Lie algebras are the fundamental algebraic structures on the manifolds of contact elements of configuration spaces in classical mechanics. In this paper, we determine the structure of the currently largest known category…
Our understanding of quantum correlators in cosmological spacetimes, including those that we can observe in cosmological surveys, has improved qualitatively in the past few years. Now we know many constraints that these objects must satisfy…
The paper is devoted to the complete classification of all real Lie algebras of contact vector fields on the first jet space of one-dimensional submanifolds in the plane. This completes Sophus Lie's classification of all possible Lie…
We define the contact homology algebra for any contact manifold and show that it is an invariant of the contact manifold. More precisely, given a contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ and some auxiliary data $\mathcal{D}$, we define an algebra…
We study contact posets and show that every contact poset can be embedded into a Boolean poset with overlap contact relation. Contact posets and (nonadditive) contact semilattices have the superamalgamation property, Fra\"\i ss\'e limits…
We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show…
Lattice theoretical generalizations of some classical linear algebra results are formulated. A vector space is replaced by its subspace lattice and a linear map is replaced by the induced lattice map. This map is a complete join…
