This article studies wave equations and their solutions on plane wave spacetimes of arbitrary dimension, developing the interplay among three structural layers: the Ward progressing-wave representation of solutions to the scalar wave…
This article examines the structure of plane wave spacetimes (of signature $(1,n+1)$, $n\ge 2$) that are homogeneous (the isometry group is transitive) and geodesically complete -- which we call microcosms. In general, a plane wave is shown…
We start with introducing one of the most fundamental notions of differential geometry, Manifolds. We present some properties and constructions such as submanifolds, tangent spaces and the tangent map. Then we continue with introducing the…
Generalization of the cross ratio to polarizations of linear finite and infinite-dimensional spaces (in particular to Sato Grassmannian) is given and explored. This cross ratio appears to be a cocycle of the canonical (tautalogical) bundle…
Several features of an analytic (infinite-dimensional) Grassmannian of (commensurable) subspaces of a Hilbert space were developed in the context of integrable PDEs (KP hierarchy). We extended some of those features when polarized separable…
The Drinfel'd Lagrangian Grassmannian compactifies the space of algebraic maps of fixed degree from the projective line into the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It has a natural projective embedding arising from the canonical embedding of the…
The classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with four or six different principal curvatures is still not complete. In this paper we develop a structural approach that may be helpful for a classification. Instead of working…
Wintgen ideal submanifolds in space forms are those ones attaining equality pointwise in the so-called DDVV inequality which relates the scalar curvature, the mean curvature and the scalar normal curvature. They are Moebius invariant…
The square of a skew-symmetric matrix is a symmetric matrix whose eigenvalues have even multiplicities. When the matrices have rank two, they represent the Grassmannian of lines, and the squaring operation takes Pl\"ucker coordinates to…
The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an…
Recently, gravitational gauge theories with torsion have been discussed by an increasing number of authors from a classical as well as from a quantum field theoretical point of view. The Einstein-Cartan(-Sciama-Kibble) Lagrangian has been…
This article describes the symmetries of plane wave spacetimes in dimension four and greater. It begins with a description of the isometric automorphisms, and in particular the homogeneous plane waves. Then the article turns to describing…
A general geometrical scheme is presented for the construction of novel classical gravity theories whose solutions obey two-sided bounds on the sectional curvatures along certain subvarieties of the Grassmannian of two-planes. The…
This paper is a documentation of author's reseach, focusing on the topic Grassmann Algebra spanning over July, August 2025 under mentorship provided by DRP Turkiye 2025. Grassmann algebra is a fundamental structure in mathematics with…
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
In the first part of the paper, comprising section 1 through 6, we introduce a sequence of functions in the tangent bundle TM of any smooth two-dimensional manifold M with smooth Riemannian metric g that correspond to the higher order…
We reformulate the general theory of relativity in the language of Riemann-Cartan geometry. We start from the assumption that the space-time can be described as a non-Riemannian manifold, which, in addition to the metric field, is endowed…
The definition of the Riemann-Cartan space of the plane wave type is given. The condition under which the torsion plane waves exist is found. It is expressed in the form of the restriction imposed on the coupling constants of the…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and ${\sf G}(2,k^4)$ the Grassmannian of 2-planes in $k^4$. We associate to each 6-dimensional subspace $R$ of the space of 4x4 matrices over $k$ a closed subscheme ${\bf X}_R \subseteq {\sf…
Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians appear naturally in the intrinsic study of geometric structures on manifolds. By a smooth geometric structure on a manifold we mean any submanifold of its tangent bundle, transversal to the fibers. One can…
