General relativity can be formally derived as a flat spacetime theory, but the consistency of the resulting curved metric's light cone with the flat metric's null cone has not been adequately considered. If the two are inconsistent, then…
A complete characterisation is given of all the linear isometries of the Fr\'echet space of all holomorphic functions on the unit disc, when it is given one of the two standard metrics: these turn out to be weighted composition operators of…

Plane waves and pp-waves are well-known universal metrics that solve all metric-based gravitational field equations. Similarly, the Kerr-Schild-Kundt class of metrics is almost universal: all metric-based gravitational field equations…

Given a conformal metric with finite total Q-curvature, we show that the assumptions on scalar curvature sensitively govern the Q-curvature integral. Additionally, we introduce a conformal mass for such manifolds. Using such mass, we…
A discrete conformality for polyhedral metrics on surfaces is introduced in this paper which generalizes earlier work on the subject. It is shown that each polyhedral metric on a surface is discrete conformal to a constant curvature…
It is shown that relativistic wave equations for free, massless fields display quantum-classical complementarity.
Using the formalism of discrete quantum group gauge theory, one can construct the quantum algebras of observables for the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons model. The resulting moduli algebras provide quantizations of the algebra of functions on the…
