In this paper an alternative theory about space-time is given. First some preliminaries about 3-dimensional time and the reasons for its introduction are presented. Alongside the 3-dimensional space (S) the 3-dimensional space of spatial…

Despite the huge number of research into the three-body problem in physics and mathematics, the study of this problem still remains relevant both from the point of view of its broad application and taking into account its fundamental…

The problem of the two-body gravitational interaction has been solved numerically based on the classical mechanics principles. One of the bodies is a deformable three-axis ellipsoid (central body) and the other is a material point…

In this paper we introduce a proposal for the kinematics of bodies in uniform circular motion. This model could contribute for the explanation of the two main problems of contemporary cosmology: dark matter and dark energy. We use one of…

``Rubber'' coated rolling bodies satisfy a no-twist in addition to the no slip satisfied by ``marble'' coated bodies. Rubber rolling has an interesting differential geometric appeal because the geodesic curvatures of the curves on the…

The wave description of geometric phase uses the superposition of light waves to explain the geometric phase's origin. While our previous work focused on a basis of linearly polarized waves, here we show that the same concepts can be…

We derive a general formula for the inertia tensor of a three-body system. By employing three independent Lagrange undetermined multipliers to express the vectors corresponding to the sides in terms of the position vectors of the vertices,…

We consider the problem of a sphere rolling of a curved surface and solve it by mapping it to the precession of a spin 1/2 in a magnetic field of variable magnitude and direction. The mapping can be of pedagogical use in discussing both…

The results of our study of the motion of a three particle, self-gravitating system in general relativistic lineal gravity is presented for an arbitrary ratio of the particle masses. We derive a canonical expression for the Hamiltonian of…

Three-dimensional central symmetric bodies different from spheres that can float in all orientations are considered. For relative density rho=1/2 there are solutions, if holes in the body are allowed. For rho different from 1/2 the body is…

This series of works revisits the geometry, dynamics, and covariant phase space of spherically symmetric spacetimes with the aim of exploring the thermodynamics of spacetime from their dynamical properties. In this first paper, we examine…

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…

We consider the unrestricted problem of two mutually attracting rigid bodies, an uniform sphere (or a point mass) and an axially symmetric body. We present a global, geometric approach for finding all relative equilibria (stationary…

In Dirac's canonical quantization theory on systems with second-class constraints, the commutators between the position, momentum and Hamiltonian form a set of algebraic relations that are fundamental in construction of both the quantum…

We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…

Relational particle models are of value in the absolute versus relative motion debate. They are also analogous to the dynamical formulation of general relativity, and as such are useful for investigating conceptual strategies proposed for…

The reduced system in the problem of the inertial motion of a rigid body with a fixed point (the Euler case) is equivalent, by the Maupertuis principle, to some geodesic flow on the 2-sphere. We describe the phase topology of this case…

We carry out a sequence of coordinate changes for the planar three-body problem which successively eliminate the translation and rotation symmetries, regularize all three double collision singularities and blow-up the triple collision.…

Due to Poinsot's theorem, the motion of a rigid body about a fixed point is represented as rolling without slipping of the moving hodograph of the angular velocity over the fixed one. If the moving hodograph is a closed curve, visualization…

We give a geometric account of kinematic control of a spherical rolling robot controlled by two internal wheels just like the toy robot Sphero. Particularly, we introduce the notion of shape space and fibers to the system by exploiting its…
