I compare the matrix representation of the basic statements of Special Relativity with the conventional vector space representation. It is shown, that the matrix form reproduces all equations in a very concise and elegant form, namely:…
We present a simple and efficient method to simulate three-dimensional, complex-shaped, interacting bodies. The particle shape is represented by Minkowski operators. A time-continuous interaction between these bodies is derived using simple…

The three-manifold topological invariants $\hat Z$ capture the half-index of the three-dimensional theory with ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ supersymmetry obtained by compactifying the M5 brane theory on the closed three-manifold. In 2019, surprising…
Every measurable function f on the circle can be represented as a sum of harmonics with positive spectrum, converging in measure. For convergence almost everywhere this is not true. We discuss several other subsets of Z for which one might…
As appropriate generalizations of convex combinations with uncountably many terms, we introduce the so-called Choquet combinations, Choquet decompositions and Choquet convex decompositions, as well as their corresponding hull operators…

We propose a randomized algorithm for enumerating the vertices of a zonotope, which is a low-dimensional linear projection of a hypercube. The algorithm produces a pair of the zonotope's vertices by sampling a random linear combination of…
The Birkhoff polytope is defined to be the convex hull of permutation matrices, $P_{\sigma}\ \forall \sigma\in S_n$. We define a second-order permutation matrix $P^{[2]}_{\sigma}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n^2\times n^2}$ corresponding to a…

Let $2<n<m\leq \omega$. Let $\CA_n$ denote the class of cylindric algebras of dimension $n$ and $\RCA_n$ denote the class of representable $\CA_n$s. We say that $\A\in \RCA_n$ is representable up to $m$ if $\Cm\At\A$ has an $m$-square…
