When the full connection of Weyl conformal gravity is varied instead of just the metric, the resulting vacuum field equations reduce to the vacuum Einstein equation, up to the choice of local units, if and only if the torsion vanishes. This…

Using the Weyl quantization we formulate one-dimensional adelic quantum mechanics, which unifies and treats ordinary and $p$-adic quantum mechanics on an equal footing. As an illustration the corresponding harmonic oscillator is considered.…

It is shown that there are no vacuum space-times (with or without cosmological constant) for which the Weyl-tensor is purely gravito-magnetic with respect to a normal and timelike congruence of observers.

We study a class of design problems in solid mechanics, leading to a variation on the classical question of equi-dimensional embeddability of Riemannian manifolds. In this general new context, we derive a necessary and sufficient existence…

A spacetime denotes a pure radiation field if its energy momentum tensor represents a situation in which all the energy is transported in one direction with the speed of light. In 1989, Wils and later in 1997 Ludwig and Edgar studied the…

The properties of interior spacetimes sourced by stationary cylindrical anisotropic fluids are here analytically studied for both nonrigid and rigid rotation. As regards nonrigid rotation, this is, to our knowledge, the first work dedicated…

Given a one-dimensional weighted Dirac operator we can define a spectral measure by virtue of singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira theory. Using the theory of de Branges spaces we show that the spectral measure uniquely determines the Dirac…

On a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold of dimension n > 2, the space of tensors which transform covariantly under Weyl rescalings of the metric is built. This construction is related to a Weyl-covariant operator D whose commutator [D,D] gives…

We take a quick look at the different possible universally coupled scalar fields in nature. Then, we discuss how the gauging of the group of scale transformations (dilations), together with the Poincare group, leads to a Weyl-Cartan…

We study the quantum Riemannian geometry of quantum projective spaces of any dimension. In particular we compute the Riemann and Ricci tensors, using previously introduced quantum metrics and quantum Levi-Civita connections. We show that…

On four-dimensional closed manifolds we introduce a class of canonical Riemannian metrics, that we call weak harmonic Weyl metrics, defined as critical points in the conformal class of a quadratic functional involving the norm of the…

We introduce the notion of smooth parametric model of normal positive linear functionals on possibly infinite-dimensional W*-algebras generalizing the notions of parametric models used in classical and quantum information geometry. We then…

Contraction analysis uses a local criterion to prove the long-term behaviour of a dynamical system. A contraction metric is a Riemannian metric with respect to which the distance between adjacent solutions contracts. If adjacent solutions…

We prove that a radial Kaehler metric g is Kaehler-Einstein if and only if one of the following conditions is satisfied: 1. g is extremal and it is associated to a Kaehler-Ricci soliton; 2. two different generalized scalar curvatures of g…

We investigate the geometry of a normal bundle equipped with a $(p,q)$-metric, i.e., Riemannian metric of Cheeger-Gromoll type, to the submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. We derive all natural object as the Levi-Civita connection,…

For relativistic Weyl fermions in 3+1 dimensions, an electric current proportional to the external magnetic field is predicted. This remarkable phenomenon is called Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). Here we show that actual transports in Weyl…

Using a technique due to Dadhich, we derive an ellipsoidally symmetric rotating metric which reduces to the Yilmaz exponential metric when the rotation parameter is set to zero. Like the Kerr metric, this new metric has only two free…

Axisymmetric permanent magnets become electrically polarized due to their rotation around the symmetry axis. This phenomenon is considered in detail for both conducting and dielectric magnets. The results are applied to the Earth which is…

A Lie superalgebrea of Riemannian type leads to a representation of a quadratic Lie algebra into a Weyl algebra. A necessary and sufficient condition that such a representation leads to a Lie superalgebra of Riemannian type is that the…

It is well known that in order to make the path integral of general relativity converge, one has to perform the Wick rotation over the conformal factor in addition to the more familiar Wick rotation of the time axis to pass to the…
