The possible role of gravity in a noncommutative geometry is investigated. Due to the Moyal *-product of fields in noncommutative geometry, it is necessary to complexify the metric tensor of gravity. We first consider the possibility of a…
The main aim of this paper is to describe the most adequate generalization of the Cauchy-Riemann system fixing properties of classical functions in octonionic case. An octonionic generalization of the Laplace transform is introduced.…
A suitable parameterization of space-time in terms of one complex and three quaternionic imaginary units allows Lorentz transformations to be implemented as multiplication by complex-quaternionic numbers rather than matrices. Maxwell's…
The n-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor (2-symmetric spacetimes) are characterized and classified. The main result is that either they are locally symmetric or they have a…
We describe four-dimensional Lorentzian algebraic Ricci solitons. In sharp contrast with the Riemannian situation, any connected and simply connected four-dimensional Lie group admits a left-invariant Lorentz metric which is a Ricci…
It is possible to construct representations of the Lorentz group using four-dimensional harmonic oscillators. This allows us to construct three-dimensional wave functions with the usual rotational symmetry for space-like coordinates and…
We begin a study of possibilities of describing hadrons in terms of monolocal fields which transform as proper Lorentz group representations decomposable into an infinite direct sum of finite-dimensional irreducible representations. The…
Associated varieties are geometric objects appearing in infinite-dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras (groups). By applying Fourier transformations to the natural orthogonal oscillator representations of special linear Lie…
In this work, we revise the concept of foliation and related aspects that are crucial when formulating the Hamiltonian evolution for various theories beyond General Relativity. In particular, we show the relation between the kinematic…
A solution of the sourceless Einstein's equation with an infinite value for the cosmological constant \Lambda is discussed by using Inonu-Wigner contractions of the de Sitter groups and spaces. When \Lambda --> infinity, spacetime becomes a…
The spacetime symmetries of classical electrodynamics supplemented with a Chern-Simons term that contains a constant nondynamical 4-vector are investigated. In addition to translation invariance and the expected three remaining Lorentz…
Some facts of the theory of the Lorentz group are specified for looking at the problems of light polarization optics in the frames of vector Stokes-Mueller and spinor Jones formalism. In view of great differences between properties of…
Half of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) transformations consist of orientation-preserving conformal homeomorphisms of the extended complex plane known as fractional linear (or Mobius) transformations. These can be of 4 kinds, i.e. they are…
In many Hamiltonian systems, propagation of steadily travelling solitons or kinks is prohibited because of resonances with linear excitations. We show that Hamiltonian systems with resonances may admit an infinite number of travelling…
We discuss (arbitrary-dimensional) Lorentzian manifolds and the scalar polynomial curvature invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives. Recently, we have shown that in four dimensions a Lorentzian spacetime…
We provide a generalization of the normal mode decomposition for non-symmetric or locality constrained situations. This allows for instance to locally decouple a bipartitioned collection of arbitrarily correlated oscillators up to…
We explain how structures related to octonions are ubiquitous in M-theory. All the exceptional Lie groups, and the projective Cayley line and plane appear in M-theory. Exceptional G_2-holonomy manifolds show up as compactifying spaces, and…
A new linear mapping of the linear vector space (LVS) of the octonions is suggested as an approach to the co-ordinatization of space-time. This approach resolves some perplexing issues concerning the validity of certain pre-metric notions…
A five dimensional space without invariance under local Lorentz transformations is studied, and the transformations under which the theory is invariant are introduced. We show that the Lorentz force is included in the ensuing equations of…
The violation of the Jacobi identity by the presence of magnetic charge is accomodated by using an explicitly nonassociative theory of octonionic fields. It is found that the dynamics of this theory is simplified if the Lagrangian contains…
