In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We construct some general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics with constant Ricci curvature.
The classic question of a nonabelian Yang-Mills analogue to electromagnetic duality is here examined in a minimalist fashion at the strictly 4-dimensional, classical field and point charge level. A generalisation of the abelian Hodge star…
We show that there is generically non-uniqueness for the anisotropic Calder\'on problem at fixed frequency when the Dirichlet and Neumann data are measured on disjoint sets of the boundary of a given domain. More precisely, we first show…
We investigate criteria for von-Neumann finiteness and reversibility in some classes of non-associative algebras. We show that all finite-dimensional alternative algebras, as well as all algebras obtained from the real numbers via the…
Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…
In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$. We classify this class of Finsler metrics with isotropic Berwald curvature…

In this paper we study the flag curvature of a particular class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$. The classification of such metrics with…
This short survey reviews some aspects of spaces of positive-definite self-adjoint linear transformations on R^n and on C^n, including the standard Riemannian metric and the relation with the exponential mapping acting on self-adjoint…
We develop a "metrically selfdual" variational calculus for $c$-monotone vector fields between general manifolds $X$ and $Y$, where $c$ is a coupling on $X\times Y$. Remarkably, many of the key properties of classical monotone operators…
: In studies of discrete structures, functions are frequently used that express proximity, but are not metrics. We consider a class of such functions that is characterized by a normalization condition and an inequality that plays the same…
On a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we study the set of conformal metrics of negative constant scalar curvature in the interior and positive constant mean curvature on the boundary. Working in the case of positive Yamabe…
Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices have been widely used in medical data analysis and a number of different Riemannian met-rics were proposed to compute with them. However, there are very few methodological principles guiding the…
We consider the problem of identifying a unitary Yang-Mills connection $\nabla$ on a Hermitian vector bundle from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map of the connection Laplacian $\nabla^*\nabla$ over compact Riemannian manifolds with…
The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…
Dynamics of many supersymmetric monopoles are studied in the low energy approximation. A conjecture for the exact moduli space metric is given for all collections of fundamental monopoles of distinct type, and various partial confirmations…
The ordering between Wigner--Yanase--Dyson function and logarithmic mean is known. Also bounds for logarithmic mean are known. In this paper, we give two reverse inequalities for Wigner--Yanase--Dyson function and logarithmic mean. We also…
We give a new geometric interpretation of the Amari-Cencov $\alpha$-connections $\nabla^{(\alpha)}$ from information geometry: On the space of densities $\operatorname{Dens}_+(M)$, we show that there exist Riemannian metrics $G^\alpha$,…
We obtain a compactness result for various classes of Riemannian metrics in dimension four; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual metrics, Kahler metrics with constant scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. With…
