We introduce a notion of quadratic duality for chiral algebras. This can be viewed as a chiral version of the usual quadratic duality for quadratic associative algebras. We study the relationship between this duality notion and the…
The Dirac equation with chiral symmetry is derived using the irreducible representations of the Poincar\'{e} group, the Lagrangian formalism, and a novel method of projection operators that takes as its starting point the minimal assumption…
We introduce fractional flat space, described by a continuous geometry with constant non-integer Hausdorff and spectral dimensions. This is the analogue of Euclidean space, but with anomalous scaling and diffusion properties. The basic tool…
We classify orthogonal actions of finite groups on Euclidean vector spaces for which the corresponding quotient space is a topological, homological or Lipschitz manifold, possibly with boundary. In particular, our results answer the…
Special relativity turns out to be more than coordinate transformations in which the constancy of the speed of light plays the central role between two inertial reference frames. Special relativity, in essence, is a theory of…
The paper surveys highlights of the ongoing program to classify discrete polyhedral structures in Euclidean 3-space by distinguished transitivity properties of their symmetry groups, focussing in particular on various aspects of the…
We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain ``stringy regions'' that from a classical point of view…
Atoms are usually thought of as achiral objects. However, one can construct superpositions of atomic states that are chiral [1]. Here we show how to excite such superpositions with tailored light fields both in the weak-field and…
Crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$ are defined as simple tilings whose group of isometric automorphisms is crystallographic. To classify crystallographic tilings by their automorphism groups it is necessary to…
We show that for a given exact category, there exists a bijection between semibricks (pairwise Hom-orthogonal set of bricks) and length wide subcategories (exact extension-closed length abelian subcategories). In particular, we show that a…
We identify a class of linearly ordered topological spaces $X$ that may satisfy the property that $X\times X$ is homeomorphic to $X\times_l X$ or can be embedded into a linearly ordered space with the stated property. We justify the…
The generalization of Cohen and Glashow's Very Special Relativity to curved space-times is considered. Gauging the SIM(2) symmetry does not, in general, provide the coupling to the gravitational background. However, locally SIM(2) invariant…
Geometrical chirality is a universal property encountered on very different length scales ranging from geometrical shapes of living organisms to protein and DNA molecules. Interaction of chiral matter with chiral light - that is,…
A singular configuration of external static magnetic field in the form of a pointlike vortex polarizes the vacuum of quantized massless spinor field in 2+1-dimensional space-time. This results in an analogue of the Bohm-Aharonov effect: the…
We prove that a compact, intrinsically symmetric submanifold of a Euclidean space is extrinsically symmetric if and only if its maximal tori are Clifford tori in the ambient space. Moreover, we show that this result can be used to give a…
In this note we study the problem of characterizing the complex affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$ via its automorphism group. We prove the following. Let $X$ be an irreducible quasi-projective $n$-dimensional variety such that $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$…
It is shown that properties of a discrete space-time geometry distinguish from properties of the Riemannian space-time geometry. The discrete geometry is a physical geometry, which is described completely by the world function. The discrete…
We give a Petrov classification for five-dimensional metrics. We classify Ricci-flat metrics that are static, have an SO(3) isometry group and have Petrov type 22. We use this classification to look for the metric of a black hole on a…
We constract various subgroups of the group of isometries of universal Urysohn spaces (unique complete separable metric space which is iniversal and homogeneous) including abelian groups which act transitively, and free groups which are…
A discrete set in the Euclidian space is almost periodic, if the measure with the unite masses at points of the set is almost periodic in the weak sense. We prove the following result: if A is a discrete almost periodic set and the set A-A…
