Since Pancharatnam's 1956 discovery of optical geometric phase, and Berry's 1984 discovery of geometric phase in quantum systems, researchers analyzing geometric phase have focused almost exclusively on algebraic approaches using the Jones…

Many basis sets for electronic structure calculations evolve with varying external parameters, such as moving atoms in dynamic simulations, giving rise to extra derivative terms in the dynamical equations. Here we revisit these derivatives…

We study the geometry of the phase space of spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker models in f(R) gravity, for a general form of the function f(R). The equilibrium points (de Sitter spaces) and their stability are discussed, and…

A generalisation of Riemannian geometry is considered, based exclusively on the minimal assumptions that the line element $ds$ is a regular function of position and direction and that the distance of every point from itself is equal to…

It is shown that the Hilbert geometry $(D,h_D)$ associated to a bounded convex domain $D\subset \mathbb{E}^n$ is isometric to a normed vector space $(V,||\cdot ||)$ if and only if $D$ is an open $n$-simplex. One further result on the…
