We generalize Voronoi's theory of perfect quadratic forms to generalized copositive matrices over a closed convex and full-dimensional cone K. We introduce a notion of a K-copositive minimum and of perfect K-copositive matrices. We consider…

Rotations on the 3-dimensional Euclidean vector-space can be represented by real quaternions, as was shown by Hamilton. Introducing complex quaternions allows us to extend the result to elliptic and hyperbolic rotations on the Minkowski…

The rings of quantum integrals of the generalized Calogero-Moser systems related to the deformed root systems ${\cal A}_n(m)$ and ${\cal C}_n(m,l)$ with integer multiplicities and corresponding algebras of quasi-invariants are investigated.…

We derive tight expressions for the maximum number of $k$-faces, $0\le{}k\le{}d-1$, of the Minkowski sum, $P_1+...+P_r$, of $r$ convex $d$-polytopes $P_1,...,P_r$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d\ge{}2$ and $r<d$, as a (recursively defined)…

A family of fractal arrangements of circles is introduced for each imaginary quadratic field $K$. Collectively, these arrangements contain (up to an affine transformation) every set of circles in the extended complex plane with integral…

Let ($\mathfrak{g},\mathsf{g})$ be a pair of complex finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras whose Dynkin diagrams are related by (un)folding, with $\mathsf{g}$ being of simply-laced type. We construct a collection of ring isomorphisms…

We prove that every 0/1-polytope has a unique Minkowski decomposition into indecomposable polytopes, up to translation of summands. The summands lie in pairwise orthogonal subspaces. Thus, every 0/1-polytope is the Cartesian product of…

We compute explicitly a star product on the Minkowski space whose Poisson bracket is quadratic. This star product corresponds to a deformation of the conformal spacetime, whose big cell is the Minkowski spacetime. The description of…

The concept of a Minkowski arrangement was introduced by Fejes T\'oth in 1965 as a family of centrally symmetric convex bodies with the property that no member of the family contains the center of any other member in its interior. This…

In this paper we provide an extension to the Jellett-Minkowski's formula for immersed submanifolds into ambient manifolds which possesses a pole and radial curvatures bounded from above or below by the radial sectional curvatures of a…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

Let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ be the ring of all real valued measurable functions defined over the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$. Given an ideal $I$ in $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ and a measure $\mu:\mathcal{A}\to[0,\infty]$, we…

This contribution reports on the continued formalisation of an axiomatic system for Minkowski spacetime (as used in the study of Special Relativity) which is closer in spirit to Hilbert's axiomatic approach to Euclidean geometry than to the…

We define a set inner product to be a function on pairs of convex bodies which is symmetric, Minkowski linear in each dimension, positive definite, and satisfies the natural analogue of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality (which is not implied…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…

We associate to every quandle $X$ and an associative ring with unity $\mathbf{k}$, a nonassociative ring $\mathbf{k}[X]$ following [3]. The basic properties of such rings are investigated. In particular, under the assumption that the inner…

We construct balanced black ring solutions in $d\geq 6$ spacetime dimensions, by solving the Einstein field equations numerically with suitable boundary conditions. The black ring solutions have a regular event horizon with $S^1\times…

The main aim of this interdisciplinary paper is to characterize all maps on finite Minkowski space of arbitrary dimension $n$ that map pairs of distinct light-like events into pairs of distinct light-like events. Neither bijectivity of maps…

Lattice coverings in the real plane by Minkowski balls are studied. We exploit the duality of admissible lattices of Minkowski balls and inscribed convex symmetric hexagons of these balls. An explicit moduli space of the areas of these…

We investigate the structure of the Minkowski sum of standard simplices in ${\reals}^r$. In particular, we investigate the one-dimensional structure, the vertices, their degrees and the edges in the Minkowski sum polytope.
