Physical geometry studies mutual disposition of geometrical objects and points in space, or space-time, which is described by the distance function $ d$, or by the world function $\sigma =d^{2}/2$. One suggests a new general method of the…

Projection factors describe the contraction of Lebesgue measures in orthogonal projections between subspaces of a real or complex inner product space. They are connected to Grassmann's exterior algebra and the Grassmann angle between…

A particle which lives in a d-dimensional ordinary and a d-dimensional Grassmann space manifests itself in an ordinary four-dimensional subspace as a spinor, a scalar or a vector with charges. Operators of the Lorentz transformations and…

We consider a noncommutative field theory with space-time $\star$-commutators based on an angular noncommutativity, namely a solvable Lie algebra: the Euclidean in two dimension. The $\star$-product can be derived from a twist operator and…

The conical singularity in flat spacetime is mostly known as a model of the cosmic string or the wedge disclination in solids. Its another, equally important, function is to be a representative of quasiregular singularities. From all these…

Since the early days of the theory of electromagnetism and of gravity the idea of space, then space-time, as a sort of physical continuum hovered the scientific community. Actually general relativity shows the strong similarity that exists…

In split or Kleinian signature, twistor constructions parametrize solutions to both gauge and gravity self-duality (SD) equation from twistor data that can be expressed in terms of free smooth data without gauge freedom. Here the…
