We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…

We prove the existence of primitive curves and positivity of intersections of $J$-complex curves for Lipschitz-continuous almost complex structures. These results are deduced from the Comparison Theorem for $J$-holomorphic maps in Lipschitz…

We develop relativistic causality theory in the setting of point-free topology by introducing a notion of causal coverage in ordered locales, generalising their canonical coverage relation to incorporate causal structure. This improves…

We show that all extended functorial field theories, both topological and nontopological, are local. We define the smooth (infinity,d)-category of bordisms with geometric data, such as Riemannian metrics or geometric string structures, and…

The causal boundary construction of Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose has some universal properties of importance for general studies of spacetimes, particularly when equipped with a topology derived from the causal structure. Properties of…

The aim of this note is to provide regularity results for Regular Lagrangian flows of Sobolev vector fields over compact metric measure spaces verifying the Riemannian curvature dimension condition. We first prove, borrowing some ideas…

We provide integral representation and $\Gamma$-compactness results for anisotropic local functionals depending on arbitrary Lipschitz continuous vector fields. In particular, neither bracket-generating assumptions nor linear independence…

For bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of a compact manifold it is known that topological entropy is always finite. For compact manifolds of dimension two or greater, we show that in the closure of the space of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms, with…

Within the synthetic-geometric framework of Lorentzian (pre-)length spaces developed in Kunzinger and S\"amann (Ann. Glob. Anal. Geom. 54(3):399--447, 2018) we introduce a notion of a hyperbolic angle, an angle between timelike curves and…

We prove the local Lipschitz continuity and the higher differentiability of local minimizers of integral functionals with non autonomous integrand which is degenerate convex with respect to the gradient variable. The main novelty here is…

Finsler geometry naturally appears in the description of various physical systems. In this review I divide the emergence of Finsler geometry in physics into three categories: as dual description of dispersion relations, as most general…

We study the problem of extending an order-preserving real-valued Lipschitz map defined on a subset of a partially ordered metric space without increasing its Lipschitz constant and preserving its monotonicity. We show that a certain type…

A change of spatial topology in a causal, compact spacetime cannot occur when the metric is globally Lorentzian. One can however construct a causal metric from a Riemannian metric and a Morse function on the background cobordism manifold,…

A new causal boundary, which we will term the $l$-boundary, inspired by the geometry of the space of light rays and invariant by conformal diffeomorphisms for space-times of any dimension $m\geq 3$, proposed by one of the authors (R.J. Low,…

The intent of this short note is to extend real valued Lipschitz functions on metric spaces, while locally preserving the asymptotic Lipschitz constant. We then apply this results to give a simple and direct proof of the fact that Sobolev…

We show that for any fixed Lipschitz constant $L$, there is a time $T^*<\infty$ depending only on $L$ such that if $f:[0,T^*]\times \mathbb{R}^{2}\to [0,1]$ is a classical solution of the stable Muskat problem with $||\nabla_x…

We prove the interior and global Lipschitz regularity results for a solution of fully nonlinear equations with $(p,q)$-growth. We prove that for a small gap $q-p$, a solution is locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. We also prove that a…

In some recent papers, the relations existing between the metric properties of Randers spaces and the conformal geometry of stationary Lorentzian manifolds were discovered and investigated. In this note, we focus on the equality between the…

Newton-Sobolev spaces, as presented by N. Shanmugalingam, describe a way to extend Sobolev spaces to the metric setting via upper gradients, for metric spaces with `sufficient' paths of finite length. Sometimes, as is the case of parabolic…

Contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentz invariance. A causal set's discreteness is in fact locally Lorentz invariant, and we recall the reasons why. For illustration, we introduce a…
