The purpose of this article is to give a proof of the Orbifold Theorem announced by Thurston in late 1981: If $O$ is a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible and topologically atoroidal 3-orbifold with non-empty ramification locus,…

This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…

Of the great theories of classical mathematics, projective geometry, with its powerful concepts of symmetry and duality, has been exceptional in continuing to intrigue investigators. The challenge put forth by Errett Bishop (1928-1983),…

Geometric algebra is the natural outgrowth of the concept of a vector and the addition of vectors. After reviewing the properties of the addition of vectors, a multiplication of vectors is introduced in such a way that it encodes the famous…

It is known that Plotkin's reduction theorem is very important for his theory of universal algebraic geometry [arXiv:math. GM/0210187], [arXiv:math. GM/0210194]. It turns out that this theorem can be generalized to arbitrary categories…

Poincar\'e held the view that geometry is a convention and cannot be tested experimentally. This position was apparently refuted by the general theory of relativity and the successful confirmation of its predictions; unfortunately,…

We introduce a novel formulation for geometry on discrete points. It is based on a universal differential calculus, which gives a geometric description of a discrete set by the algebra of functions. We expand this mathematical framework so…
