Gray-Vanhecke conjectured that the volumes of small geodesic balls could determine if the manifold is a space form, and provided a proof for the compact 4-dimensional manifold, and some cases. In this paper, similar results for the…

A naturally parameterised curve in a Lie group with a left invariant metric is a geodesic, if its tangent vector left-translated to the identity satisfies the Euler equation $\dot{Y}=\operatorname{ad}^t_YY$ on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$…

The Buchdahl limit for static spherically symmetric isotropic stars is generalised to the case of five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Our result depends on the sign of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $\alpha$. When $\alpha>0$, we…

The metric dimension of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a subset $S$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $S$. In this paper we investigate the…

We study the problem of finding, for a given one-dimensional topological space $X$, a cover of $X$ of smallest size by geodesics with respect to some metric. The infimal size of such a set is called the metric geodesic cover number of $X$.…

Let S be a triangulated 2-sphere with fixed triangulation T. We apply the methods of thin position from knot theory to obtain a simple version of the three geodesics theorem for the 2-sphere [5]. In general these three geodesics may be…

In this paper we investigate possible extensions of the idea of geodesic completeness in complex manifolds, following two directions: metrics are somewhere allowed not to be of maximum rank, or to have 'poles' somewhere else. Geodesics are…

Within the framework of geodetic brane gravity, the Universe is described as a 4-dimensional extended object evolving geodetically in a higher dimensional flat background. In this paper, by introducing a new pair of canonical fields…

Fix a smooth closed manifold $M$. Let $R_M$ denote the space of all pairs $(g,L)$ such that $g$ is a $C^3$ Riemannian metric on $M$ and the real number $L$ is not the length of any closed $g$-geodesics. A locally constant geodesic count…

The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…

We establish the existence of static and spherically symmetric fermion-boson stars, in a low energy effective model of (beyond) Horndeski theories. These stars are in equilibrium, and are composed by a mixing of scalar and fermionic matters…

We review particle-like configurations of complex scalar field, localized by gravity, so-called boson stars. In the simplest case, these solutions posses spherical symmetry, they may arise in the massive Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory with…

On the sighting of the constellations and their stars, they seem to be near each other at first sight but some of thema are actually quite further from the others. Froma the geocentric point view can the Zodiac Costellations be perceived as…

The {\em metric dimension} of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least number of vertices in a set with the property that the list of distances from any vertex to those in the set uniquely identifies that vertex. We consider the Grassmann graph…

We consider the limiting fluctuations of the geodesic in the directed landscape, conditioning on its length going to infinity. It was shown in \cite{Liu22b,Ganguly-Hegde-Zhang23} that when the directed landscape $\mathcal{L}(0,0;0,1) = L$…

Circular and radial geodesics are studied in the spacetime described by the $\gamma$ metric. Their behaviour is compared with the spherically symmetric situation, bringing out the sensitivity of the trajectories to deviations from spherical…

Let $M$ be either the 2-sphere $\SS^2 \subset\RR^3$ or the hyperbolic plane $\HH^2 \subset \RR^3$. If $\Delta(abc)$ is a geodesic triangle on $M$ with corners at $a,b,c\in M$, we denote by $\alpha, \beta, \gamma\in M$ the midpoints of their…

We provide a detailed description of all possible Feller processes on infinite} star graphs with finite number of edges, processes that while away from the graph's center behave like a one-dimensional Brownian motion. The description can be…

We consider a geometric property of the closest-points projection to a geodesic in Teichm\"uller space: the projection is called contracting if arbitrarily large balls away from the geodesic project to sets of bounded diameter. (This…

In 2010, Koolen and Bang proposed the following conjecture: For a fixed integer $m \geq 2$, any geometric distance-regular graph with smallest eigenvalue $-m$, diameter $D \geq 3$ and $c_2 \geq 2$ is either a Johnson graph, a Grassmann…
