Submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space are investigated from various mathematical viewpoints and are of interest also in relativity theory. We define the hyperbolic surface and the de Sitter surface of a curve in the spacelike hypersurface…
In the Minkowski space, we consider a compact, spacelike hypersurface with boundary, which can be written as a graph on a spacelike hyperplane. We prove that, if its $k$-th mean curvature is constant, and its boundary is on the hyperplane…
A two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime diagram is neatly represented on a Euclidean ordinary plane. However the Euclidean lengths of the lines on the diagram do not correspond to the true values of physical quantities in spacetime, except…
A new theory is considered according to which extended objects in $n$-dimensional space are described in terms of multivector coordinates which are interpreted as generalizing the concept of centre of mass coordinates. While the usual…
The geometry of 2D Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ (or Minkowski plane) is similar but fundamentally different from the more familiar Euclidean plane geometry. This note gives an elementary discussion on some basic properties of a…
The classical Minkowski inequality in the Euclidean space provides a lower bound on the total mean curvature of a hypersurface in terms of the surface area, which is optimal on round spheres. In this paper we employ a locally constrained…
We highlight the fact that in undergraduate calculus, the number pi is defined via the length of the circle, the length of the circle is defined as a certain value of an inverse trigonometric function, and this value is defined via pi, thus…
We apply a new and mathematically rigorous method for the quantization of constrained systems to two-dimensional gauge theories. In this method, which quantizes Marsden-Weinstein symplectic reduction, the inner product on the physical state…
This paper concerns the \textbf{abstract geometry of numbers}: namely the pursuit of certain aspects of geometry of numbers over a suitable class of normed domains. (The standard geometry of numbers is then viewed as geometry of numbers…
This contribution reports on the continued formalisation of an axiomatic system for Minkowski spacetime (as used in the study of Special Relativity) which is closer in spirit to Hilbert's axiomatic approach to Euclidean geometry than to the…
A hypersurface in a Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{n+1}$ is said to be a generalized constant ratio (GCR) hypersurface if the tangential part of its position vector is one of its principle directions. In this work, we move the study of…
The embedding of a given point set with non-crystallographic symmetry into higher-dimensional space is reviewed, with special emphasis on the Minkowski embedding known from number theory. This is a natural choice that does not require an a…
We introduce surface Minkowski tensors to characterize rotational symmetries of shapes embedded in curved surfaces. The definition is based on a modified vector transport of the shapes boundary co-normal into a reference point which…
A constant angle surface in Minkowski space is a spacelike surface whose unit normal vector field makes a constant hyperbolic angle with a fixed timelike vector. In this work we study and classify these surfaces. In particular, we show that…
A clear understanding of topology of higher-dimensional objects is important in many branches of both pure and applied mathematics. In this survey we attempt to present some results of higher-dimensional topology in a way which makes clear…
In this paper we study the curvature flow of a curve in a plane endowed with a minkowskian norm whose unit ball is smooth. We show that many of the properties known in the euclidean case can be extended (with due adaptations) to this new…
This work introduces two new notions of dimension, namely the unimodular Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions, which are inspired from the classical analogous notions. These dimensions are defined for unimodular discrete spaces, introduced in…
In machine learning, data is usually represented in a (flat) Euclidean space where distances between points are along straight lines. Researchers have recently considered more exotic (non-Euclidean) Riemannian manifolds such as hyperbolic…
We present a new proof of the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a triangle that is simultaneously inscribed in a circle and circumscribed about a central conic (an ellipse or a hyperbola). In the limiting case where…
In 1968, Simons introduced the concept of index for hypersurfaces immersed into the Euclidean sphere S^{n+1}. Intuitively, the index measures the number of independent directions in which a given hypersurface fails to minimize area. The…
