We analyze a variational time discretization of geodesic calculus on finite- and certain classes of infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the fundamental properties of discrete geodesics, the associated discrete…
We construct the geometro-hydrodynamical formalism for a spinning particle based on the six-dimensional manifold of autoparallelism geometry which is represented as a vector bundle with a base formed by the manifold of the translational…
Physical geometry studies mutual disposition of geometrical objects and points in space, or space-time, which is described by the distance function $ d$, or by the world function $\sigma =d^{2}/2$. One suggests a new general method of the…
We consider the quantum version of Arnold's generalisation of a rigid body in classical mechanics. Thus, we quantise the motion on an arbitrary Lie group manifold of a particle whose classical trajectories correspond to the geodesics of any…
We study the derivation of the effective equation of motion for a pointlike particle in the framework of quantum gravity. Just like the geodesic motion of a classical particle is a consequence of classical field theory coupled to general…
We present herewith certain thoughts on the important subject of nowadays physics, pertaining to the so-called ``singularities'', that emanated from looking at the theme in terms of ADG (: abstract differential geometry). Thus, according to…
The equations of motion of a charged particle in the field of Yang's $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ monopole in 5-dimensional Euclidean space are derived by applying the Kaluza-Klein formalism to the principal bundle…
The equation of motion for a point particle in the background field of double field theory is considered. We find that the motion is described by a geodesic flow in the doubled geometry. Inspired by analysis on the particle motion, we…
We introduce a novel representation and optimization framework for discrete geodesics on triangle meshes that reduces artifacts of linear methods on uneven and coarse discretizations. Our method computes squared geodesic distances from…
Oscillatons are spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein Klein Gordon (EKG) equations for soliton stars made of real time dependent scalar fields. These equations are non singular and satisfy flatness conditions asymptotically with…
We consider the Hamiltonian constraint formulation of classical field theories, which treats spacetime and the space of fields symmetrically, and utilizes the concept of momentum multivector. The gauge field is introduced to compensate for…
A duality between spacetime manifolds, the geodesic duality, is introduced. Two manifolds are geodesic dual, if the transformation between their metrics is also the transformation between their geodesics. That is, the transformation that…
We develop a formulation of the strong deflection limit for the scattering of particles following timelike geodesics in asymptotically flat, static, and spherically symmetric spacetimes. For fixed specific energy, as the angular momentum…
The idea that the quantum space-time of microphysics may be fractal everywhere was intensively investigated recently, and several authors have presented the geodesic equations of different fractal space - times. In the present work we…
In this paper we connect classical differential geometry with the concepts from geometric calculus. Moreover, we introduce and analyze a more general Laplacian for multivector-valued functions on manifolds. This allows us to formulate a…
We show how to formulate physical theory taking as a starting point the set of states (geometric approach). We discuss the relation of this formulation to the conventional approach to classical and quantum mechanics and the theory of…
Localized one-particle states of a quantum field theory--whether in flat space or on a curved background--are expected to exhibit geodesic motion in an appropriate semiclassical regime. This expectation is often invoked heuristically: in…
This paper introduces an alternative generalization of the static solution with quadrupole moment, the $\rm q$-metric, that describes a deformed compact object in the presence of the external fields characterized by multipole moments. In…
Relativity and classical dynamics, as defined so far, form distinct parts of classical physics and are formulated based on independent principles. We propose that the formalism of classical dynamics can be considered as the theoretical…
A description of the canonical formulation of lineal gravity minimally coupled to N point particles in a circular topology is given. The Hamiltonian is found to be equal to the time-rate of change of the extrinsic curvature multiplied by…
