相关论文: Newtonian mechanics in a Riemannian manifold

The purpose of this essay is to trace the historical development of geometry while focusing on how we acquired mathematical tools for describing the "shape of the universe." More specifically, our aim is to consider, without a claim to…

Explicit description for arbitrary Newtonian dynamical system admitting the normal shift in Riemannian manifold of the dimension $n\geq 3$ is found. On the base of this result the kinematics of normal shift of hypersurfaces along…

Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian dynamical systems are well formalized mathematically. They give rise to geometric structures describing motion of a point in smooth manifolds. Riemannian metric is a different geometric structure…

Riemannian metric learning is an emerging field in machine learning, unlocking new ways to encode complex data structures beyond traditional distance metric learning. While classical approaches rely on global distances in Euclidean space,…

Riemannian geometry is a mathematical field which has been the cornerstone of revolutionary scientific discoveries such as the theory of general relativity. Despite early uses in robot design and recent applications for exploiting data with…

The Newton iteration is a popular method for minimising a cost function on Euclidean space. Various generalisations to cost functions defined on manifolds appear in the literature. In each case, the convergence rate of the generalised…

We survey the main ideas in the early history of the subjects on which Riemann worked and that led to some of his most important discoveries. The subjects discussed include the theory of functions of a complex variable, elliptic and Abelian…

A panoramic view, preceded by a short background of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwellian electrodynamics, is offered on the extent of how Einstein's space-time geometry, believed to be central to an understanding of the structure of the…

This article explores the overall geometric manner in which human beings make sense of the world around them by means of their physical theories; in particular, in what are nowadays called pregeometric pictures of Nature. In these, the…

Well-known to specialists but little-known to the wider audience is that Newtonian gravity can be understood as geodesic motion in space-time, where time is absolute and space is Euclidean. Newtonian cosmology formulated by Heckmann agrees…

We show how it is possible to define and study black holes of arbitrary shapes in the framework of Newtonian mechanics.

Part 1 : For more than two millennia, ever since Euclid's geometry, the so called Archimedean Axiom has been accepted without sufficiently explicit awareness of that fact. The effect has been a severe restriction of our views of space-time,…

An interpretation of selected parts of Newton's Principia, with modern notation and methods. Keplers Laws are derived from an inverse square law using Newton's methods.

We consider two Riemannian geometries for the manifold $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ of all $m\times n$ matrices of rank $p$. The geometries are induced on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ by viewing it as the base manifold of the submersion…

A pedagogical but concise overview of Riemannian geometry is provided, in the context of usage in physics. The emphasis is on defining and visualizing concepts and relationships between them, as well as listing common confusions,…

This essay discusses the development of key geometric ideas in the 19th century which led to the formulation of the concept of an abstract manifold (which was not necessarily tied to an ambient Euclidean space) by Hermann Weyl in 1913. This…

Mechanics is developed over a differentiable manifold as space of possible positions. Time is considered to fill a one--dimensional Riemannian manifold, so having the metric as lapse. Then the system is quantized with covariant instead of…

Over the past six years, a detailed framework has been constructed to unravel the quantum nature of the Riemannian geometry of physical space. A review of these developments is presented at a level which should be accessible to graduate…

We introduce Riemannian Lie algebroids as a generalization of Riemannian manifolds and we show that most of the classical tools and results known in Riemannian geometry can be stated in this setting. We give also some new results on the…

The present article deals with general mechanics in an unconventional manner. At first, Newtonian mechanics for a point particle has been described in vectorial picture, considering Cartesian, polar and tangent-normal formulations in a…
