We propose a geometric correspondence between (a) linearly degenerate systems of conservation laws with rectilinear rarefaction curves and (b) congruences of lines in projective space whose developable surfaces are planar pencils of lines.…
We continue the investigation of the correspondence between systems of conservation laws and congruences of lines in projective space. Relationship between "additional" conservation laws and hypersurfaces conjugate to a congruence is…
This paper addresses the three concepts of \textit{ consistency, stability and convergence } in the context of compact finite volume schemes for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The treatment utilizes the framework of…
An important problem in quaternionic hyperbolic geometry is to classify ordered $m$-tuples of pairwise distinct points in the closure of quaternionic hyperbolic n-space, $\overline{{\bf H}_\bh^n}$, up to congruence in the holomorphic…
Motivated by many applications (geophysical flows, general relativity), we attempt to set the foundations for a study of entropy solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a (Riemannian or Lorentzian) manifold. The flux of…
Linear topological spaces with partial ordering (linear kinematics) are studied. They are defined by a set of 8 axioms implying that topology, linear structure and ordering are compatible with each other. Most of the results are valid for…
We investigate $n$-component systems of conservation laws that possess third-order Hamiltonian structures of differential-geometric type. The classification of such systems is reduced to the projective classification of linear congruences…
The fourth-gradient model for fluids-associated with an extended molecular mean-field theory of capillarity-is considered. By producing fluctuations of density near the critical point like in computational molecular dynamics, the model is…
Line congruences are the genesis of important examples of transformations of projective surfaces, such as the Laplace transform. We survey and review results related to this historical subject, then derive original formulae for the Laplace…
In this work we show that the systems of balance equations (balance systems) of continuum thermodynamics occupy a natural place in the variational bicomplex formalism. We apply the vertical homotopy decomposition to get a local splitting…
Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…
This article describes an entirely algebraic construction for developing conformal geometries, which provide models for, among others, the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries. On one hand, their relationship is usually shown…
To an abelian category A of homological dimension 1 satisfying certain finiteness conditions, one can associate an algebra, called the Hall algebra. Kapranov studied this algebra when A is the category of coherent sheaves over a smooth…
We develop a complete description of the class of conformal relativistic dissipative fluids of divergence form, following the formalism carried out by Geroch, Lindblom and Pennisi. This type of theories is fully described in terms of…
We demonstrate that a pair consisting of a second-order homogeneous Hamiltonian structure in $N$ components and its associated system of conservation laws is in bijective correspondence with an alternating three-form on a $N+2$-dimensional…
The study of geometric group theory has suggested several theorems related to subdivision tilings that have a natural hyperbolic structure. However, few examples exist. We construct subdivision tilings for the complement of every…
In a non-compact setting, the notion of hyperbolicity, and the associated structure of stable and unstable manifolds (for unbounded orbits), is highly dependent on the choice of metric used to define it. We consider the simplest version of…
The aim of the present paper is to extend the concept of a congruence from lattices to posets. We use an approach different from that used by the first author and V. Sn\'a\v{s}el. By using our definition we show that congruence classes are…
In this article we determine several theorems and methods for solving linear congruences and systems of linear congruences, and we find the number of distinct solutions. Many examples of solving congruences are given.
A new method for the Lie group classification of differential equations is proposed. It is based of the determination of all possible cases of linear dependence of certain indeterminate appearing in the determining equations of symmetries…
