We give a geometrical description of gravitational theories from the viewpoint of symmetries and affine structure. We show how gravity, considered as a gauge theory, can be consistently achieved by the nonlinear realization of the…

We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…

We constract various subgroups of the group of isometries of universal Urysohn spaces (unique complete separable metric space which is iniversal and homogeneous) including abelian groups which act transitively, and free groups which are…

We consider the three-dimensional Heisenberg group, equipped with any left-invariant metric, either Lorentzian or Riemannian. We completely classify their affine vector fields and investigate their relationship with Killing vector fields…

We study the geometry of Lie groups $G$ with a continuous Finsler metric, assuming the existence of a subgroup $K$ such that the metric is right-invariant for the action of $K$. We present a systematic study of the metric and geodesic…

This is a review with examples concerning the concepts of affine (in particular, constant and linear) vector fields and fundamental vector fields on a manifold. The affine, linear and constant vector fields on a manifold are shown to be in…

For a real or complex one-dimensional map satisfying a weak hyperbolicity assumption, we study the existence and statistical properties of physical measures, with respect to geometric reference measures. We also study geometric properties…

We characterize the strong metric dimension of the power graph of a finite group. As applications, we compute the strong metric dimension of the power graph of a cyclic group, an abelian group, a dihedral group or a generalized quaternion…

In this paper we introduce a notion of Feynman geometry on which quantum field theories could be properly defined. A strong Feynman geometry is a geometry when the vector space of $A_\infty$ structures is finite dimensional. A weak Feynman…

By analogy with the real and complex affine groups, whose unitary irreducible representations are used to define the one and two-dimensional continuous wavelet transforms, we study here the quaternionic affine group and construct its…

We prove two results on convex subsets of Euclidean spaces invariant under an orthogonal group action. First, we show that invariant spectrahedra admit an equivariant spectrahedral description, i.e., can be described by an equivariant…

Motivated by properties of higher tangent lifts of geometric structures, we introduce concepts of weighted structures for various geometric objects on a manifold F equipped with a homogeneity structure. The latter is a smooth action on F of…
