The conventional discussion of apparent distortions of space and time in Special Relativity (the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and Time Dilatation) is extended by considering observations of : (i) moving objects of limited lifetime in…

We consider structured approximation of measures in Wasserstein space $\mathrm{W}_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $p\in[1,\infty)$ using general measure approximants compactly supported on Voronoi regions derived from a scaled Voronoi partition of…

The emergence of time-series foundation model research elevates the growing need to measure the (dis)similarity of time-series datasets. A time-series dataset similarity measure aids research in multiple ways, including model selection,…

In this paper we prove Hessian and Laplacian comparison theorems for the Lorentzian distance function in a spacetime with sectional (or Ricci) curvature bounded by a certain function by means of a comparison criterion for Riccati equations.…

In weakly nonlinear dispersive wave systems, long-time dynamics are typically governed by time resonances, where wave phases evolve coherently due to exact frequency matching. Recent advances in spatio-temporal spectrum measurements,…

For causal graphs we propose a definition of proper time which for small scales is based on the concept of volume, while for large scales the usual definition of length is applied. The scale where the change from "volume" to "length" occurs…

This paper analyzes the Lipschitz behavior of the feasible set in two parametric settings, associated with linear and convex systems in R^n. To start with, we deal with the parameter space of linear (finite/semi-infinite) systems identified…

We introduce the strong $q$-timelike Brunn-Minkowski condition $\mathsf{sTBM}_q(K,N)$ on synthetic Lorentzian spaces, for $0<q<1$. We show that, in the timelike $q$-essentially non-branching setting, the $q$-timelike curvature dimension…

By assuming gravity and matter to be subject to a joint statistical mechanical concept (JSMC) and interpreting Rindler horizon sections as open thermodynamic systems, one arrives at a specific new form of non-perturbative Lorentzian path…

In this note we prove certain inequalities for mixed discriminants of positive semi-definite matrices, and mixed volumes of compact convex sets in n-dimensions. Moreover, we discuss how the latter are related to the monotonicity of an…

The effect of spatial variations of the Newton constant on the cosmic microwave background is studied. Constraints on the strong equivalence principle violation at the recombination time are then obtained with the help of WMAP data and of…
