We describe decomposition formulas for rotations of $R^3$ and $R^4$ that have special properties with respect to stereographic projection. We use the lower dimensional decomposition to analyze stereographic projections of great circles in…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical coodinates. This is the first…
Quaternionic and octonionic spinors are introduced and their fundamental properties (such as the space-times supporting them) are reviewed. The conditions for the existence of their associated Dirac equations are analyzed. Quaternionic and…

Consider a formally self-adjoint first order linear differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued scalar fields over a 4-manifold without boundary. We examine the geometric content of such an operator and show that it…

We propose an approach to the quantum-mechanical description of relativistic orientable objects. It generalizes Wigner's ideas concerning the treatment of nonrelativistic orientable objects (in particular, a nonrelativistic rotator) with…
We study the Penrose transform for the `quaternionic objects' whose twistor spaces are complex manifolds endowed with locally complete families of embedded Riemann spheres with positive normal bundles.

We analyze the facial structures of the convex set consisting of all two qubit separable states. One of faces is a four dimensional convex body generated by the trigonometric moment curve arising from polyhedral combinatorics. Another one…
Higher-rank Minkowski valuations are efficient means for describing the geometry and connectivity of spatial patterns. We show how to extend the framework of the scalar Minkowski valuations to vector- and tensor-valued measures. The…
We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…
We study operators that are products of two orthogonal projections. Our results complement some of the classical results of Crimmins and von Neumann. Particular emphasis has been given to projections associated with inner functions defined…
