We study spaces of essentially bounded functions on compact subsets of the real line, equipped with the Alexiewicz norm given by the supremum norm of the primitive. Using the associated measure projection, we classify their surjective…
Using the Plucker map between grassmannians, we study basic aspects of classic grassmannian geometries. For `hyperbolic' grassmannian geometries, we prove some facts (for instance, that the Plucker map is a minimal isometric embedding) that…
These notes deal with metric spaces, Hausdorff measures and dimensions, Lipschitz mappings, and related topics. The reader is assumed to have some familiarity with basic analysis, which is also reviewed.
The purpose of the present article is to examine the essence of what has commonlybeen described as a "projective line", but which is here named a "meridian". This shall be done in several papers: this first paper devoted to the meridian…
In Gromov's treatise Partial Differential Relations (volume 9 of Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete (3), 1986), a continuous map between Riemannian manifolds is called isometric if it preserves the length of rectifiable…
Using linear projections one gets new inequalities for the successive minima of the lattice of sections of an hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic surface.
The article presents a new approach to euclidean plane geometry based on projective geometric algebra (PGA). It is designed for anyone with an interest in plane geometry, or who wishes to familiarize themselves with PGA. After a brief…
This paper is devoted to presenting a new approach to determine the intersection of two quadrics based on the detailed analysis of its projection in the plane (the so called cutcurve) allowing to perform the corresponding lifting correctly.…
Recent links between Finsler Geometry and the geometry of spacetimes are briefly revisited, and prospective ideas and results are explained. Special attention is paid to geometric problems with a direct motivation in Relativity and other…
In the present paper we show that the geodesic flows of a sub-Riemannian metric and that of a Riemannian extension commute if and only if the extended metric is parallel with respect to a certain connection. This helps us to describe the…
A general definition has been proposed recently of a linear connection and a metric in noncommutative geometry. It is shown that to within normalization there is a unique linear connection on the quantum plane and there is no metric.
In this paper, we first establish the Schwarz-Pick lemma of higher-order and apply it to obtain a univalency criteria for planar harmonic mappings. Then we discuss distortion theorems, Lipschitz continuity and univalency of planar harmonic…
This paper focuses on a new approach to plane geometry and develops important concepts that can allow researchers to unite and observe plane geometry from a new, meaningful perspective.
This work revisits, from a geometric perspective, the notion of discrete connection on a principal bundle, introduced by M. Leok, J. Marsden and A. Weinstein. It provides precise definitions of discrete connection, discrete connection form…
This work originates from part of a final year undergraduate research project on the Eisenhart lift for Hamiltonian systems. The Eisenhart lift is a procedure to describe trajectories of a classical natural Hamiltonian system as geodesics…
This paper explores the geometry of putting in the limiting case of a planar putting surface. Putts equidistant from the hole originating on an arc spanning \pm30 degrees are shown to share a common target point. Moving around the circle of…
As true as it is that a bricklayer needs a plumb line and a T-square, so it is that a physicist using general relativity needs how to draw geodesics and use fields of congruent vector frames of reference. While the first part of the…
Spine spaces can be considered as fragments of a projective Grassmann space. We prove that the structure of lines together with binary coplanarity relation, as well as with binary relation of being in one pencil of lines, is a sufficient…
This is, mostly, a survey of results about the birational geometry of rationally connected manifolds, using rational curves analogous to lines in ${\mathbb P}^n$ ({\it quasi-lines}). Various characterizations of a Zariski neighbourhood of a…
We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…
