In this note we derive a new Minkowski-type inequality for closed convex surfaces in the hyperbolic 3-space. The inequality is obtained by explicitly computing the area of the family of surfaces obtained from the normal flow and then…

This paper is a sequel to arXiv:2511.01024 (Base 1), where an axiomatic framework for angles and the foundations of difference-angle geometry were introduced. In difference-angle geometry, where the difference of slopes of lines is treated…

Hyperbolic geometry is developed in a purely algebraic fashion from first principles, without a prior development of differential geometry. The natural connection with the geometry of Lorentz, Einstein and Minkowski comes from a projective…

The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike…

A sign error in an angle while drawing the original Minkowski plot has persisted for a century in text books and the pedagogical literature. When it is corrected, the `length contraction' effect derived from the geometry of the plot…

In this paper we provide an extension to the Jellett-Minkowski's formula for immersed submanifolds into ambient manifolds which possesses a pole and radial curvatures bounded from above or below by the radial sectional curvatures of a…

Conics in the Euclidean space have been known for their geometrical beauty and also for their power to model several phenomena in real life. It usually happens that when thinking about the conics in a semi-Riemannian manifold, the equations…

The Minkowski vacuum is often presented in textbooks and reviews as a thermofield double (TFD) state, an entangled state of field modes in the left and right Rindler wedges. This picture is widely used to explain the Unruh effect, motivate…

When considering geometry, one might think of working with lines and circles on a flat plane as in Euclidean geometry. However, doing geometry in other spaces is possible, as the existence of spherical and hyperbolic geometry demonstrates.…

Given two points A,B in the plane, the locus of all points P for which the angles at A and B in the triangle A,B,P have a constant sum is a circular arc, by Thales' theorem. We show that the difference of these angles is kept a constant by…
