The geometry on a slope of a mountain is the geometry of a Finsler metric, called here the {\it slope metric}. We study the existence of globally defined slope metrics on surfaces of revolution as well as the geodesic's behavior. A…
Random geometric graphs are random graph models defined on metric spaces. Such a model is defined by first sampling points from a metric space and then connecting each pair of sampled points with probability that depends on their distance,…
We introduce a procedure to determine the size and shape of normal neighborhoods in any spacetimes and their dependence on the precision of the measurements performed by arbitrary observers. As an example, we consider the Schwarzschild…
The geometry of parallelizable manifolds (i.e., teleparallelism) is summarized in the language of local frame fields. Some problems in continuum mechanics that relate to the couple-stresses that are produced in the bending and twisting of…
A perspective function is a construction which combines a base function defined on a given space with a nonlinear scaling function defined on another space and which yields a lower semicontinuous convex function on the product space. Since…
Following our discussion [Physica A, 375 (2007) 123] to associate an analogous probabilistic description with spacetime geometry in the Schwarzschild metric from the macro- to the micro-domain, we argue that there is a possible connection…
Penner coordinates are extended to the Teichm\"uller spaces of oriented closed surfaces.
This work contains a brief and elementary exposition of the foundations of Poisson and symplectic geometries, with an emphasis on applications for Hamiltonian systems with second-class constraints. In particular, we clarify the geometric…
Euclidean distance geometry is the study of Euclidean geometry based on the concept of distance. This is useful in several applications where the input data consists of an incomplete set of distances, and the output is a set of points in…
The moduli spaces of compact and connected Riemann surfaces has been a central topic in modern mathematics in recent years. Thus their homological dimensions become important invariants. Motivated by the emergence mathematical counterparts…
On a smooth connected manifold, we consider all possible locally elliptic and locally bounded measurable coefficient Riemannian metrics called rough Riemannian metrics. We equip this set with an extended metric which is connected if and…
We introduce the notion of log-Riemann surfaces. These are Riemann surfaces given by cutting and pasting planes together isometrically, and come equipped with a holomorphic local diffeomorphism to C called the projection map, and a…
Relativistic positioning systems are interesting {\em technical objects} for applications around the Earth and in the Solar system. But above all else, they are basic {\em scientific objects} allowing developing relativity from its own…
A staircase is the set of points in Z^2 below a given rational line in the plane that have Manhattan Distance less than 1 to the line. Staircases are closely related to Beatty and Sturmian sequences of rational numbers. Connecting the…
Upon a consistent topological statistical theory the application of structural statistics requires a quantification of the proximity structure of model spaces. An important tool to study these structures are Pseudo-Riemannian metrices,…
We prove a Schwarz type lemma for harmonic mappings between the unit and a geodesic line in a Riemenn surface.
For some class of mappings, which are generalization of space quasiisometries, an upper estimate for a measure of image of a ball is obtained. As consequence, it is obtained one analog of Schwartz lemma for mappings mentioned above. Results…
In this note we classify all Bonnet pairs on a simply connected domain. Our main intent was to apply what we call a quaternionic function theory to a concrete problem in differential geometry. The ideas are simple: conformal immersions into…
Plane arrangements are a useful tool for surface and volume modelling. However, their main drawback is poor scalability. We introduce two key novelties that enable the construction of plane arrangements for complex objects and entire…
We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikes, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively…
