We survey some basic geometric properties of the Funk metric of a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we study its geodesics, its topology, its metric balls, its convexity properties, its perpendicularity theory and its isometries.…
Fundamental rules and definitions of Fractional Differintegrals are outlined. Factorizing 1-D and 2-D Helmholtz equations four fractional eigenfunctions are determined. The functions exhibit incident and reflected plane waves as well as…
Since the 5D canonical metric embeds all 4D vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations, I review its application to the cosmological 'constant', quantized particles, deBroglie waves, scalar fields and wave-particle duality. There are several…
We investigate the travel time in a navigation problem from a geometric perspective. The setting involves an open subset of the Euclidean plane, representing a lake perturbed by a symmetric wind flow proportional to the distance from the…
We discuss general notions of metrics and of Finsler structures which we call weak metrics and weak Finsler structures. Any convex domain carries a canonical weak Finsler structure, which we call its tautological weak Finsler structure. We…
In this note we explicitly compute the resonances on hyperbolic cones. These are hyperbolic manifolds with a conic singularity equipped with a warped product metric. The calculation is based on separation of variables and Kummer's…
In this paper we investigate three unsolved conjectures in geometric combinatorics, namely Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdos's ring conjecture. We formulate natural $\delta$-discretized…
We prove the existence of uncountably many positive harmonic functions for random walks on the euclidean lattice with non-zero drift, killed when leaving two dimensional convex cones with vertex in 0. Our proof is an adaption of the proof…
We construct entire functions with hyperbolic and simply parabolic Baker domains on which the functions are not univalent. The Riemann maps from the unit disk to these Baker domains extend continuously to certain arcs on the unit circle.…
In this note we classify two-dimensional continued fractions for cubic irrationalities constructed by matrices with not large norm ($|*| \le 6$). The classification is based on the following new result: the class of matrices with an…
In this article, we find three isometric models of the Funk disc: Finsler upper half of the hyperboloid of two sheets model, the Finsler band model and the Finsler upper hemi sphere model; and we also find two new models of the…
A systematic study of (smooth, strong) cone structures $\C$ and Lorentz-Finsler metrics $L$ is carried out. As a link between both notions, cone triples $(\Omega,T, F)$, where $\Omega$ (resp. $T$) is a 1-form (resp. vector field) with…
Integrable two-dimensional models which possess an integral of motion cubic or quartic in velocities are governed by a single prepotential, which obeys a nonlinear partial differential equation. Taking into account the latter's invariance…
We extend the $L^4$-square function estimates for the parabola and the half-cone to quadratic manifolds in higher dimensions and their conical extensions. To this end, we require transversality for the tangent spaces of the quadratic…
The separability and Runge-Lenz-type dynamical symmetry of the internal dynamics of certain two-electron Quantum Dots, found by Simonovi\'c et al. [1], is traced back to that of the perturbed Kepler problem. A large class of axially…
We explore connections furnished by the Funk metric, a relative of the Hilbert metric, between projective geometry, billiards, convex geometry and affine inequalities. We first show that many metric invariants of the Funk metric are…
In this paper, we construct the Funk-Finsler structure in various models of the hyperbolic plane. In particular, in the unit disc of the Klein model, it turns out to be a Randers metric, which is a non-Berwald Douglas metric. Further, using…
The Funk, cosine, and sine transforms on the unit sphere are indispensable tools in integral geometry. They are also known to be interesting objects in harmonic analysis. The aim of the paper is to extend basic facts about these transforms…
Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…
We obtain asymptotic formulae with optimal error terms for the number of lattice points under and near a dilation of the standard parabola, the former improving upon an old result of Popov. These results can be regarded as achieving the…
