Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with torsion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are…
We propose an extension of the classical variational theory of evolution equations that accounts for dynamics also in possibly non-reflexive and non-separable spaces. The pivoting point is to establish a novel variational structure, based…
We present a derivation of the relativistic length-contraction formula based on Lorentz space-time transformations on non-simultaneous events. Our derivation avoids the disputable story about the stationary observer and its simultaneous…
In this paper, we establish a complete structural description of flat Lorentzian Lie groups, i.e., Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant Lorentzian metric, thereby resolving a long-standing open problem in the theory of…
We find Lorentzian solutions of spacetime noncommutative gauge theories that are localized exponentially in space and time. Together with time translational invariance of the theories, we argue that perurbative S matrix formulation of such…
We solve the twistor equation on all indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces explicity.
Noncommutative Euclidean spaces -- otherwise known as Moyal spaces or quantum Euclidean spaces -- are a standard example of a non-compact noncommutative geometry. Recent progress in the harmonic analysis of these spaces gives us the…
We prove a globally hyperbolic spacetime with locally Lipschitz continuous metric and timelike distributional Ricci curvature bounded from below obeys the timelike measure contraction property. The remarkable class of examples of spacetimes…
A number of techniques in Lorentzian geometry, such as those used in the proofs of singularity theorems, depend on certain smooth coverings retaining interesting global geometric properties, including causal ones. In this note we give…
This article suggests the definition of "Lorentzian space" weakening the notion of Lorentzian length spaces just as much that it allows for a functor from the category of strongly causal Lorentzian manifolds to the corresponding category of…
By making use of the classification of real simple Lie algebra, we get the maximum of the squared length of restricted roots case by case, thus we get the upper bounds of sectional curvature for irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of…
Let $(M,g)$ be a spacetime. That is, $M$ is a real manifold of dimension $4$ equipped with a Lorentzian metric $g$. We show that any separation of time and space in $M$ is equivalent to introducing a (non-smooth) Riemann metric $h$. If $h$…
For quantum field theory on curved spacetimes, a critical role is played by their foliation into spacelike time-slices at each value $t$ of a coordinate time, with corresponding metric in ADM form. We provide a general construction for the…
We demonstrate how one can distinguish a curved 4-dimensional spacetime from a flat one, when it is possible, relying only on the causality relations between events. It is known that it is possible only for spacetimes that are not…
We give a general version of Bryc's theorem valid on any topological space and with any algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of real-valued continuous functions separating the points, or any well-separating class. In absence of exponential tightness, and…
We consider an inverse problem for a non-linear hyperbolic equation. We show that conformal structure of a Lorentzian manifold can be determined by the source-to-solution map evaluated along a single timelike curve. We use the microlocal…
Timelike Liouville field theory is a candidate model for positive curvature two-dimensional quantum gravity, but a mathematically controlled Lorentzian formulation has remained elusive. In this paper we construct the theory on the cylinder…
Together with collaborators, we introduced a noncommutative Riemannian geometry over Moyal algebras and systematically developed it for noncommutative spaces embedded in higher dimensions in the last few years. The theory was applied to…
We give the first example of a nontrivial twisted Hilbert space that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. This space has no unconditional basis. We also show that such a space gives a partial answer to a question of Mascioni.
We study Lorentzian manifolds with a weight function such that the $N$-Bakry-\'Emery tensor is bounded below. Such spacetimes arise in the physics of scalar-tensor gravitation theories, including Brans-Dicke theory, theories with…
