This talk discusses various aspects of the structure of space-time presenting mechanisms leading to the explanation of the "rigidity" of the manifold and to the emergence of time, i.e. of the Lorentzian signature. The proposed ingredient is…
The concept of typed topological space is introduced, for which open sets in a topology on a finite set will be assigned types (from lattice). The neighborhood system of a point, the closure and the connectedness can be defined according to…
We survey foundational principles of Grothendieck's generalized spaces, including a critical glossary of the various, and often conflicting, terminological usages. Known results using generalized points support a fully pointwise notation…
This work studies circle-geometry methods through their application to a main theorem about circles tangent twice to a conic. The authors investigate the Sharygin point -- a point lying in the pencil of two non-intersecting circles -- and…
This paper is devoted to the study the $m$-point homogeneity property and the point homogeneity degree for finite metric spaces. Since the vertex sets of regular polytopes, as well as of some their generalizations, are homogeneous, we pay…
The initial techniques developed in Euclid's Elements, well before the use of the parallel postulate, are reexamined in order to clarify even the most obscure details, particularly those related to equality, superposition and angle…
The highly influential framework of conceptual spaces provides a geometric way of representing knowledge. Instances are represented by points in a high-dimensional space and concepts are represented by regions in this space. Our recent…
I discuss black hole evaporation in two different coordinate systems and argue that the results of the two are compatible once one takes the holographic principle into account. de Sitter space is then discussed along similar lines. Finally…
S-metric space was introduced by Sedghi et al. in 2012. We derive some common fixed point results for self-mappings on vector valued complete S-metric space. In support of our results, we also give some examples.
In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.
We are interested in investigating some definitions and assumptions stated in [4], in particular the notions of measurability and atomicity that the two authors used in order to give a representation for multiplicative linear functionals…
This paper forms part of a wider campaign: to deny pointillisme. That is the doctrine that a physical theory's fundamental quantities are defined at points of space or of spacetime, and represent intrinsic properties of such points or…
This paper presents some startpoint (endpoint, fixed point) theorems for mutli-valued maps that generalize recent results proved by Y. U. Gaba \cite{rico, ricoo}.
In this two-part essay, we distinguish several senses in which general relativity has been regarded as "locally special relativistic". Here, in Part 1, we focus on senses in which a relativistic spacetime has been said to be "locally…
Classical objects in computational geometry are defined by explicit relations. Several years ago the pioneering works of T. Asano, J. Matousek and T. Tokuyama introduced "implicit computational geometry", in which the geometric objects are…
This work is a continuation of [1]. As in the previous article, here we will describe some interesting ideas and a lot of new theorems in plane geometry related to them.
We define the ``volume'' contained by pointed $k$-surfaces, first studied by the author in [9], and we show that this volume is always finite. Likewise, we show that the surface area of a pointed $k$-surface is always finite.
The set of all metrics that can be placed on a given manifold defines an infinite-dimensional `superspace' that can itself be imbued with the structure of a Riemannian manifold. Geodesic distances between points on Met$(M)$ measure how…
We give a new axiomatization of the N-pseudospace, studied in [2] (Tent(2014)) and [1] (Baudisch,Martin-Pizarro,Ziegler(2014)) based on the zigzags introduced in [2]. We also present a more detailed account of the characterization of…
Fixed points represent equilibrium states, stability, and solutions to a range of problems. It has been an active field of research. In this paper, we provide an overview of the main branches of fixed point theory. We discuss the key…
