We investigate the level surfaces of geometric measure of quantum discord, and provide a pictorial interpretation of geometric discord for Bell-diagonal states. We have observed its nonanalytic behavior under decoherence employing this…
In this talk I will introduces two spaces: the first space is the usual n-dimensional vector space with the unusual feature that n is non-integer, the second space is composed by the linear matrices acting on the previous space (physicists…
In this paper we discuss about properties of lattices and its application in theoretical and algorithmic number theory. This result of Minkowski regarding the lattices initiated the subject of Geometry of Numbers, which uses geometry to…
While geometry with transcendental curves, like the Quadratrix of Hippias and the Spiral of Archimedes, played a significant role in our modern developments of geometry and algebra. The investigation has fallen off in the modern era despite…
Geometry is essentially a global language, which is fully understood in different times, countries and cultures. The proof of a geometric theorem (e.g. the Pythagorean Theorem) or a geometric construction (e.g. the construction of an…
An enquiry into the physical nature of time and space and into the ontology of quantum mechanics from a metageometric perspective, resulting from the belief that geometric thought and language are powerless to farther understanding of these…
Why is it that after so many years matrices continue to play such an important roll in Physics and mathematics? Is there a geometric way of looking at matrices, and linear transformations in general, that lies at the roots of their success?…
The paper consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to logic for universal algebraic geometry. The second one deals with problems and some results. It may be regarded as a brief exposition of some ideas from the book in progress:…
Plato envisioned Earth's building blocks as cubes, a shape rarely found in nature. The solar system is littered, however, with distorted polyhedra -- shards of rock and ice produced by ubiquitous fragmentation. We apply the theory of convex…
The initial techniques developed in Euclid's Elements, well before the use of the parallel postulate, are reexamined in order to clarify even the most obscure details, particularly those related to equality, superposition and angle…
There are two problems Analytical Geometry with facing anyone who studies this discipline: define the nature of the locus represented by the general equation 2do degree in two or three variables: That curve represents the plane? What…
While the contents of Euclid's Elements are well-known these days, some characters of the original text have been overlooked due to interpretation by modern mathematical languages. The lens of modern mathematics once anachronistically…
In this note we give a detailed proof of certain results on geometry of numbers in the $S$-adic case. These results are well-known to experts, so the aim here is to provide a convenient reference for the people who need to use them.
The concept of number and its generalization has played a central role in the development of mathematics over many centuries and many civilizations. Noteworthy milestones in this long and arduous process were the developments of the real…
This paper describes the theory of Minkowski problems for geometric measures in convex geometric analysis. The theory goes back to Minkowski and Aleksandrov and has been developed extensively in recent years. The paper surveys classical and…
The main purpose of this article is to try to understand the connection between the physical universe and the mathematical principles that underlies the cosmological account of the Timaeus. Aristotle's common criticism of Plato's cosmology…
We study rectangles inscribed in lines in the plane by parametrizing these rectangles in two ways, one involving slope and the other aspect ratio. This produces two paths, one that finds rectangles with specified slope and the other…
We collect together various facts about G_2 and Spin(7) geometry which are likely well known but which do not seem to have appeared explicitly in the literature before. These notes should be useful to graduate students and new researchers…
In this paper the claim that Zeno's paradoxes have been solved is contested. Although no one has ever touched Zeno without refuting him (Whitehead), it will be our aim to show that, whatever it was that was refuted, it was certainly not…
Much of Mathematics, and therefore Physics as well, have been limited by four rather consequential restrictions. Two of them are ancient taboos, one is an ancient and no longer felt as such bondage, and the fourth is a surprising omission…
