Chains in CR geometry as geodesics of a Kropina metric [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
With the help of a generalization of the Fermat principle in general relativity, we show that chains in CR geometry are geodesics of a certain Kropina metric constructed from the CR structure.

Relativity and Singularities - A Short Introduction for Mathematicians [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We summarize the main ideas of General Relativity and Lorentzian geometry, leading to a proof of the simplest of the celebrated Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems.

Numerical calculations near spatial infinity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
After describing in short some problems and methods regarding the smoothness of null infinity for isolated systems, I present numerical calculations in which both spatial and null infinity can be studied.

What's the Point? Hole-ography in Poincare AdS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study bulk reconstruction of the Poincare wedge of AdS$_3$ via hole-ography, i.e., in terms of differential entropy of the dual CFT$_2$.

Geodesics on a supermanifold and projective equivalence of super connections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the concept of projective equivalence of connections in supergeometry. To this aim, we propose a definition for (super) geodesics on a supermanifold in which, as in the classical case, they are the projections of the integral curves of a ...

Non-Abelian gauge field theory in scale relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Gauge field theory is developed in the framework of scale relativity. In this theory, space-time is described as a non-differentiable continuum, which implies it is fractal, i.e., explicitly dependent on internal scale variables.

Sum of Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle with respect to the Teichmuller geodesic flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We compute the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle with respect to the Teichmuller geodesic flow. The computation is based on the analytic Riemann-Roch Theorem and uses a comparison of determinants of flat and hyperbolic Laplacians

On Lorentzian causality with continuous metrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a systematic study of causality theory on Lorentzian manifolds with continuous metrics. Examples are given which show that some standard facts in smooth Lorentzian geometry, such as light-cones being hypersurfaces, are wrong when metrics which

Geodesic completeness of generalized space-times

open access: yes, 2015
We define the notion of geodesic completeness for semi-Riemannian metrics of low regularity in the framework of the geometric theory of generalized functions.

Photon‐Sphere Modes in Curved Optical Microcavities: A Black‐Hole Analogue Laser

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An optical analogue of a Schwarzschild black hole is realized using curved microcavities that preserve light‐like geodesics. A new family of laser modes confined around the photon sphere is identified alongside conventional whispering‐gallery modes. Analytical theory, numerical simulations, and experiments reveal curvature‐induced confinement, enabling
