In this paper, we generalize the defining equation for de Sitter space by replacing the de Sitter radius with a function $f$ satisfying certain conditions; each resulting hypersurface is diffeomorphic to de Sitter space, and has a geometry…
Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles mimicking holomorphic maps z^c and log(z) are studied. It is shown that the corresponding circle patterns are immersed and described by special separatrix solutions of discrete…
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models have target spaces that carry interesting geometry. The geometry is richer the more supersymmetries the model has. The study of models with two dimensional world sheets is particularly rewarding since…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between static spacetimes and Riemannian manifolds that maps causal geodesics to geodesics, as suggested by L. C. Epstein. We then explore constant curvature spacetimes - such as the de Sitter and…
In the article differential-difference (semi-discrete) lattices of hyperbolic type are investigated from the integrability viewpoint. More precisely we concentrate on a method for constructing generalized symmetries. This kind integrable…
There is a common description of different intrinsic geometric flows in two dimensions using Toda field equations associated to continual Lie algebras that incorporate the deformation variable t into their system. The Ricci flow admits zero…
In this paper we prove that if $u$ is a solution to second order hyperbolic equation $\partial^2_tu+a(x)\partial_tu-(div_x\left(A(x)\nabla_x u\right)+b(x)\cdot\nabla_x u+c(x)u)=0$ and $u$ is flat on a segment $\{x_0\}\times (-T,T)$ then $u$…
We consider the following elliptic system \Delta u =\nabla H (u) \ \ \text{in}\ \ \mathbf{R}^N, where $u:\mathbf{R}^N\to \mathbf{R}^m$ and $H\in C^2(\mathbf{R}^m)$, and prove, under various conditions on the nonlinearity $H$ that, at least…
Despite remarkable success in describing supergravity reductions and backgrounds, generalized geometry and the closely related exceptional field theory are still lacking a fundamental object of differential geometry, the Riemann tensor. We…
About a decade ago Thurston proved that a vast collection of 3-manifolds carry metrics of constant negative curvature. These manifolds are thus elements of {\em hyperbolic geometry}, as natural as Euclid's regular polyhedra. For a closed…
The article deals with the connection between the second postulate of Euclid and non-Euclidean geometry. It is shown that the violation of the second postulate of Euclid inevitably leads to hyperbolic geometry. This eliminates…
Object detection, for the most part, has been formulated in the euclidean space, where euclidean or spherical geodesic distances measure the similarity of an image region to an object class prototype. In this work, we study whether a…
The geometric theory of additive separation of variables is applied to the search for multiplicative separated solutions of the bi-Helmholtz equation. It is shown that the equation does not admit regular separation in any coordinate system…
A parabolic partial differential equation $u'_t(t,x)=Lu(t,x)$ is considered, where $L$ is a linear second-order differential operator with time-independent coefficients, which may depend on $x$. We assume that the spatial coordinate $x$…
We study the existence of global positive solutions of the differential inequalities $$ - \operatorname{div} A (x, u, \nabla u) \ge f (u) \quad \mbox{in } {\mathbb R}^n, $$ where $n \ge 2$ and $A$ is a Carath\'eodory function such that $$…
It is well-known that the $L^2$ metric on the moduli space of hyperbolic monopoles, defined using the Coulomb gauge-fixing condition, diverges. This article shows that an alternative gauge-fixing condition inspired by supersymmetry cures…
Let $\Sigma$ be a surface of negative Euler characteristic, homeomorphic to a closed surface, possibly with a finite number of points removed. In this paper, we present a construction method for a wide range of examples of geometric…
We consider the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the parabolic equation \[ u_t- \operatorname{div} \left(|\nabla u|^{p(x,t)-2} \nabla u\right)= f(x,t) + F(x,t, u, \nabla u) \] in the cylinder $Q_T:=\Omega\times (0,T)$, where $\Omega\subset…
We study a geometrical formulation of the nonlinear second-order Riccati equation (SORE) in terms of the projective vector field equation on $S^1$, whichn in turn is related to the stability algebra of Virasoro orbit. Using Darboux…
In category theory, logic and geometry cooperate with each other producing what is known under the name Synthetic Differential Geometry (SDG). The main difference between SDG and standard differential geometry is that the intuitionistic…
