Fermat Principle in Finsler Spacetimes

open access: yes, 2005
It is shown that, on a manifold with a Finsler metric of Lorentzian signature, the lightlike geodesics satisfy the following variational principle. Among all lightlike curves from a point (emission event) to a timelike curve (worldline of receiver), the ...

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons

open access: yesCommunications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 5, Page 1151-1298, May 2026.
Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs

open access: yesCommunications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1012-1072, April 2026.
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

Geometric approach to Hamiltonian dynamics and statistical mechanics

open access: yes, 1999
This paper is a review of results which have been recently obtained by applying mathematical concepts drawn, in particular, from differential geometry and topology, to the physics of Hamiltonian dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom of interest ...

Rates of Sea‐Level Rise Are Highly Sensitive to Ice Viscosity Parameters in Model Benchmarks

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Glacier flow plays a major role in current and future rates of globally averaged sea‐level rise. The viscosity of glacial ice, controlling the rate of flow, decreases as stress increases and is highly sensitive to the value of the stress exponent, n $n$, in the constitutive equation for viscous flow.

Exploring the Metric Systems of Medieval New Towns in Central Europe: Reconstruction of Urban Plot Scheme Using Cosine Quantogram and Modular Analysis

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 173-183, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines plot divisions and units of measurement in regular medieval new towns in Central Europe, with a particular focus on historical Silesia. By applying the cosine quantogram method alongside GIS‐referenced cartographic sources and modular analysis, the research reconstructs the spatial organization of urban layouts. The results

Exceptionally Elongated Strike‐Slip Rupture Caused by the 2025 MW 7.8 Myanmar Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The interplay between fault geometry and rupture behavior remains poorly understood. The 2025 Myanmar earthquake ruptured the Sagaing fault, a major continental strike‐slip fault with simple geometry. We integrated geodetic and teleseismic observations to investigate its rupture process through finite‐fault kinematic inversions and back ...

Monitoring of the Transient Sea Level Variations Associated With Hurricane‐Induced Storm Surges by GNSS‐IR

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract As global climate change intensifies, hurricane‐induced storm surges are becoming more frequent and severe. While Global Navigation Satellite System‐Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS‐IR) is widely used to monitor sea level variations, its capability to detect rapid and extreme events remains limited.

The isometries of the space of K\"ahler metrics

open access: yes, 2019
Given a compact K\"ahler manifold, we prove that all global isometries of the space of K\"ahler metrics are induced by biholomorphisms and anti-biholomorphisms of the manifold.
