This is a survey paper of author's results on cobordism groups and semigroups of fold maps and simple fold maps. The results include: establishing a relation between fold maps and immersions through geometrical invariants of cobordism…
Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…
We are interested in the geometry of the group $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$ of diffeomorphisms preserving a contact form $\theta$ on a manifold $M$. We define a Riemannian metric on $\mathcal{D}_q(M)$, compute the corresponding geodesic equation, and…
Topological phenomena are commonly studied in phases of matter which are separated from a trivial phase by an unavoidable quantum phase transition. This can be overly restrictive, leaving out scenarios of practical relevance -- similar to…
4-manifolds have special topological properties which can be used to get a different view on quantum mechanics. One important property (connected with exotic smoothness) is the natural appearance of 3-manifold wild embeddings (Alexanders…
One of pressing problems in mathematical physics is to find a generalized Poincar\'e symmetry that could be applied to nonflat space-times. As a step in this direction we define the semidirect product of groupoids $\Gamma_0 \rtimes…
Symmetries and Casimirs are studied for the Hamiltonian equations of radial compressible fluid flow in n>1 dimensions. An explicit determination of all Lie point symmetries is carried out, from which a complete classification of all maximal…
We generalize the notion of Gromov boundary to a larger class of metric spaces beyond Gromov hyperbolic spaces. Points in this boundary are classes of quasi-geodesic rays and the space is equipped with a topology that is naturally invariant…
A new model of relativistic massive particle with arbitrary spin (($m,s$)-particle) is suggested. Configuration space of the model is a product of Minkowski space and two-dimensional sphere, ${\cal M}^6 = {\Bbb R}^{3,1} \times S^2$. The…
Some of the most outstanding questions in the field of gravitation and geometry remain unsolved as a result of our limited understanding of the global structure of the spacetime geometry and the role played by global spacetime…
We construct information geometry for hydrodynamics with global gauge and gravitational anomalies in $1+1$ and $3+1$ dimensions. We introduce the metric on a parameter space and show that turning on non-zero rotations leads to a curvature…
An enlarged group G of nonlinear transformations, modeled on the general linear group GL(2,R), leads to a beautiful, apparently unremarked symmetry between the wave function's phase and the logarithm of its amplitude. Equations Doebner and…
Cobordism groups of cooriented fold maps of codimension 1 are computed completely. Namely their odd torsion part coincides with that of the stable homotopy group of spheres in the same dimension, while the 2-primary part is the kernel of…
Symmetry invariants of a group specify the classes of quasiparticles, namely the classes of projective irreducible co-representations in systems having that symmetry. More symmetry invariants exist in discrete point groups than the full…
We give an interpretation of the global shallow water quasi-geostrophic equations on the sphere $\Sph^2$ as a geodesic equation on the central extension of the quantomorphism group on $\Sph^3$. The study includes deriving the model as a…
The Coleman-Mandula (CM) theorem states that the Poincar\'e and internal symmetries of a Minkowski spacetime quantum field theory cannot combine nontrivially in an extended symmetry group. We establish an analogous result for quantum field…
We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions…
The Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity (GR) is considered in finite space-time and a specific frame of reference given by the diffeo-invariant components of the Fock simplex in terms of the Dirac -- ADM variables. The evolution…
This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…
Isolated horizons model equilibrium states of classical black holes. A detailed quantization, starting from a classical phase space restricted to spherically symmetric horizons, exists in the literature and has since been extended to…
