In this paper we describe trigonometry on the de Sitter surface. For that a characterization of geodesics is given, leading to various types of triangles. We define lengths and angles of these. Then, transferring the concept of polar…

According to the holographic principle, the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on its boundary. Holographic principle establishes equivalence, or duality, between theoretical description of volume physics, which…

In this paper we introduce topological modules over the ring of bihyperbolic numbers. We discuss bihyperbolic convexity, bihyperbolic-valued seminorms and bihyperbolic-valued Minkowski functionals in topological bihyperbolic modules.…

In this paper, we will generalize some results in Manin's paper "Three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry as $\infty$-adic Arakelov geometry" to the supergeometric setting. More precisely, viewing $\mathbb{C}^{1|1}$ as the boundary of the…

In this paper we introduce the hyperbolic mean curvature flow and prove that the corresponding system of partial differential equations are strictly hyperbolic, and based on this, we show that this flow admits a unique short-time smooth…

This paper proposes an abstract mathematical frame for describing some features of biological time. The key point is that usual physical (linear) representation of time is insufficient, in our view, for the understanding key phenomena of…

Classical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics are often depicted as separate realms of physics, each with its own formalism and notion. This remains unsatisfactory with respect to the unity of nature and to the…

The parabolic functions are introduced in analogy to the circular and hyperbolic cases. We discuss the relevant properties, the geometrical interpretation and touch on possible generalizations and their link with the modular elliptic…

A definition of hyperbolic meromorphic functions is given and then we discuss the dynamical behavior and the thermodynamic formalism of hyperbolic functions on the Julia set. We prove the important expanding properties for hyperbolic…

We consider a Lorentzian analogue of the Ptolemy inequality and we prove that in the setting of globally hyperbolic spacetimes it is equivalent to a global timelike sectional curvature bound from above by zero. We investigate the link…

The classifying space of inertial reference frames in special relativity is naturally hyperbolic. There is a remarkable interplay between central elements of hyperbolic geometry and those of special relativity -- which, to a certain extent,…

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part we describe the recent works on the inverse problems for the wave equation in $(n+1)$-dimensional space equipped with pseudo-Riemannian metric with Lorentz signature. We study the…

We prove that a globally hyperbolic spacetime with its causality relation is a bicontinuous poset whose interval topology is the manifold topology. This provides an abstract mathematical setting in which one can study causality independent…

We prove that both the Laplacian on functions, and the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on symmetric 2-tensors with respect to asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, are sectorial maps in weighted H\"older spaces. As an application, the machinery of…

We show that Poincar\'e invariance directly implies the existence of a complexified Minkowski space whose real and imaginary directions unify spacetime and spin, which we dub spinspacetime. Despite the intrinsic noncommutativity of spin,…
