The main point of this paper is to present a class of equations over integers that one can check if they have a solution by checking a set of inequalities. The prototype of such equations is the equations appearing in the well-known…
For a general set transformation ${\cal R}$ between two measure spaces, we define the rearrangement of a measurable function by means of the Layer's cake formula. We study some functional properties of the Lorentz spaces defined in terms of…
The theory of measurement is employed to elucidate the physical basis of general relativity. For measurements involving phenomena with intrinsic length or time scales, such scales must in general be negligible compared to the (translational…
A crucial step in the history of General Relativity was Einstein's adoption of the principle of general covariance which demands a coordinate independent formulation for our spacetime theories. General covariance helps us to disentangle a…
Uniform fields are one of the simplest and most pedagogically useful examples in introductory courses on electrostatics or Newtonian gravity. In general relativity there have been several proposals as to what constitutes a uniform field. In…
In this paper we prove two general results related to Marstrand's projection theorem in a quite general formulation over separable metric spaces under a suitable transversality hypothesis (the "projections" are in principle only measurable)…
One goal of geometric measure theory is to understand how measures in the plane or higher dimensional Euclidean space interact with families of lower dimensional sets. An important dichotomy arises between the class of rectifiable measures,…
We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of…
A geometric theory for spacetimes whose world lines associated with physical particles have an upper bound for the proper acceleration is developed. After some fundamental remarks on the requirements that the classical dynamics for point…
Let g be a random element of a finite classical group G, and let \lambda_{z-1}(g) denote the partition corresponding to the polynomial z-1 in the rational canonical form of g. As the rank of G tends to infinity, \lambda_{z-1}(g) tends to a…
Every spacetime is defined by its metric, the mathematical object which further defines the spacetime curvature. From the relativity principle, we have the freedom to choose which coordinate system to write our metric in. Some coordinate…
We establish imbedding properties between Grand Lebesgue Spaces and (generalized) Lorentz-Zygmund ones. We extend some known previous results concerning imbedding theorems between Grand Lebesgue and classical Lebesgue-Riesz spaces and we…
Extending the notion of $r$-(class) regular partitions, we define $(r_{1},...,r_{m})$-class regular partitions. A partition identity is presented and described by making use of the Glaisher correspondence.
We introduce a concept of causality in the framework of generalized pseudo-Riemannian Geometry in the sense of J.F. Colombeau and establish the inverse Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in this context. As an application, we prove a dominant energy…
In 1945 Einstein concluded that [1]: 'The present theory of relativity is based on a division of physical reality into a metric field (gravitation) on the one hand, and into an electromagnetic field and matter on the other hand. In reality…
We prove the equivalence of two seemingly very different ways of generalising Rademacher's theorem to metric measure spaces. One such generalisation is based upon the notion of forming partial derivatives along a very rich structure of…
The construction of conformally invariant gauge conditions for Maxwell and Einstein theories on a manifold M is found to involve two basic ingredients. First, covariant derivatives of a linear gauge (e.g. Lorenz or de Donder), completely…
In this short note we argue that, even if, as sometimes remarked, a Lorentzian manifold does not model correctly the structure of the spatio-temporal continuum as it is, yet a Lorentzian manifold should describe its macroscopic structure as…
Inspired by some Lorentzian versions of the notion of metric and length space introduced by Kunzinger and S\"amman, and more recently, by M\"uller, and Minguzzi and S\"uhr, we revisit the notion of Lorentzian metric space in order to later…
The equivalence principle postulates a frame. This implies globally special and locally general relativity. It is proposed here that spacetime emerges from the gauge potential of translations, whilst the Lorenz symmetry is gauged into the…
