Aim of this paper is to provide new characterizations of the curvature dimension condition in the context of metric measure spaces (X,d,m). On the geometric side, our new approach takes into account suitable weighted action functionals…

This article provides an attempt to extend concepts from the theory of Riemannian manifolds to piecewise linear spaces. In particular we propose an analogue of the Ricci tensor, which we give the name of an Einstein vector field. On a given…

In this paper, we give global expressions of geodesics and isoparametric functions on a Randers sphere by navigation. We obtain isoparametric families and focal submanifolds in (S^{n}; F; d\mu_{BH}) by Cartan-M\"unzner polynomials. Further…

We investigate the gravitational field of a kinetic gas beyond its usual derivation from the second moment of the one-particle distribution function (1PDF), that serves as energy-momentum tensor in the Einstein equations. This standard…

We explore the possibility that Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is a manifestation of the modification of inertia at small accelerations. Consistent with the Tully-Fisher relation, dynamics in the small acceleration domain may…

We explore a connection between the Finslerian area functional and well-investigated Cartan functionals to prove new Bernstein theorems, uniqueness and removability results for Finsler-minimal graphs, as well as enclosure theorems and…

We generalize the $f(R)$ type gravity models by assuming that the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and of the matter Lagrangian $L_m$. We obtain the gravitational field equations in the…

For nice functions, invariant means over integral currents (certain generalized surfaces), can be uniquely defined.

Let $\| \cdot \|$ be the euclidean norm on ${\bf R}^n$ and $\gamma_n$ the (standard) Gaussian measure on ${\bf R}^n$ with density $(2 \pi )^{-n/2} e^{- \| x\|^2 /2}$. Let $\vartheta$ ($ \simeq 1.3489795$) be defined by $\gamma_1 ([ -…

Forty-five years after the point de d\'epart [1] of density functional theory, its applications in chemistry and the study of electronic structures keep steadily growing. However, the precise form of the energy functional in terms of the…

We introduce a new class of $(\alpha,\beta)$-type exact solutions in Finsler gravity closely related to the well-known pp-waves in general relativity. Our class contains most of the exact solutions currently known in the literature as…

We study a special class of Finsler metrics which we refer to as Almost Rational Finsler metrics (shortly, AR-Finsler metrics). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an AR-Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ to be Riemannian. The rationality…

An overview of several recent developments in density functional theory for classical inhomogeneous liquids is given. We show how Levy's constrained search method can be used to derive the variational principle that underlies density…

Upon straightforward four--directional extension of the special--relativistic two--dimensional transformations to the four--dimensional case we lead to convenient totally anisotropic kinematic transformations, which prove to reveal many…

We compare the regularity of the boundary of a convex set with the value of its Finslerian volume entropy. The main result states that the volume entropy of a two-dimensional domain whose associated curvature measure is Ahlfors…

We establish the Bonnet-Myers theorem, Laplacian comparison theorem, and Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem for weighted Finsler manifolds as well as weighted Finsler spacetimes, of weighted Ricci curvature bounded below by using the…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$. We give conditions on the Fourier transform of its density for functionals of the form $H(a)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(\langle a,x\rangle)\mu^n(dx)$ to be Schur monotone. As applications, we…

A variational theory of a continuous medium is developed the elements of which carry momentum and hypermomentum (hyperfluid). It is shown that the structure of the sources in metric-affine gravity is predetermined by the conservation…
