Regions-based theories of space aim -- among others -- to define points in a geometrically appealing way. The most famous definition of this kind is probably due to Whitehead. However, to conclude that the objects defined are points indeed,…
In the beginning of the 20th century, A. N. Whitehead and T. de Laguna proposed a new theory of space, known as {\em region-based theory of space}. They did not present their ideas in a detailed mathematical form. In 1997, P. Roeper has…
In this paper we investigate the evolution of the concept of area in Peano's works, taking into account the main role played by Grassmann's geometric-vector calculus and Peano's theory on derivative of measures. Geometric (1887) and…
G\"ahler ([4],[5]) introduced and investigated the notion of 2-metric spaces and 2-normed spaces in sixties. These concepts are inspired by the notion of area in two dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we choose a fundamentally…
The concept of cone metric spaces with $w-$distance was introduced by H. Lakzian and F. Arabyani [16] in $2009.$ In $2020,$ Branga and Olaru [4] put forth the idea of cone metric spaces over topological module. In this paper, we compose…
In A. Poltorak's concept, the reference frame in General Relativity is a certain manifold equipped with a connection. The question under consideration here is whether it is possible to join two events in the space-time by a time-like…
Topos theory occupies a singular place in contemporary mathematics: born from Grothendieck's algebraic geometry, it has emerged as a unifying language for geometry, topology, algebra, and logic. This book offers a progressive introduction…
In this essay we give a general picture about the evolution of Grohendieck's ideas regarding the notion of space. Starting with his fundamental work in algebraic geometry, where he introduces schemes and toposes as generalizations of…
Starting from classical algebraic geometry over the complex numbers (as it can be found for example in Griffiths and Harris it was the goal of these lectures to introduce some concepts of the modern point of view in algebraic geometry. Of…
Understanding the nature of time remains a key unsolved problem in science. Newton in the Principia asserted an absolute universal time that {\it `flows equably'}. Hamilton then proposed a mathematical unification of space and time within…
We develop the theory of CW(A)-complexes, which generalizes the classical theory of CW-complexes, keeping the geometric intuition of J.H.C. Whitehead's original theory. We obtain this way generalizations of classical results, such as…
The edge-of-the-wedge theorem in several complex variables gives the analytic continuation of functions defined on the poly upper half plane and the poly lower half plane, the set of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with all coordinates in the…
In the present paper, we extend the Zamfirescu results ([9]) to A-metric spaces. Firstly, we define the notion of Zamfirescu mapping in A-metric spaces. After, we also obtain a fixed point theorem for such mappings. The established results…
The paper is in the field of Region Based Theory of Space (RBTS), sometimes called mereotopology. RBTS is a kind of point-free theory of space based on the notion of region. Its origin goes back to some ideas of Whitehead, De Laguna and…
Some models of set theory are given which contain sets that have some of the important characteristics of being geometric, or spatial, yet do not have any points, in various ways. What's geometrical is that there are functions to these…
Since their inception perfectoid spaces have catalyzed a revolution in p-adic geometry. We redevelop the foundations of perfectoid spaces from the point of view of Berkovich Spaces, where the underlying topological space of an affinoid…
In this article we establish some fixed point (known also as critical point, invariant point) theorems in quasi-metric spaces. Our results unify and further extend in some regards the fixed point theorem proposed by Dancs et al. (1983), the…
In a recent work Malkiewich and Merling proposed a definition of the equivariant $K$-theory of spaces for spaces equipped with an action of a finite group. We show that the fixed points of this spectrum admit a tom Dieck-type splitting. We…
In this paper, we first study the local rings of a Berkovich analytic space from the point of view of commutative algebra. We show that those rings are excellent ; we introduce the notion of a an analytically separable extension of…
A theory in which points, lines, areas and volumes are on on the same footing is investigated. All those geometric objects form a 16-dimensional manifold, called C-space, which generalizes spacetime. In such higher dimensional space…
