Relativistic Acoustic Geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Sound wave propagation in a relativistic perfect fluid with a non-homogeneous isentropic flow is studied in terms of acoustic geometry. The sound wave equation turns out to be equivalent to the equation of motion for a massless scalar field propagating ...

SPINOR GEOMETRY [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 2012
It has been proposed that quantum mechanics and string theory share a common inner syntax, the relational logic of C. S. Peirce. Along this line of thought we consider the relations represented by spinors. Spinor composition leads to the emergence of Minkowski space–time.

Hamilton geometry: Phase space geometry from modified dispersion relations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We describe the Hamilton geometry of the phase space of particles whose motion is characterised by general dispersion relations. In this framework spacetime and momentum space are naturally curved and intertwined, allowing for a simultaneous description ...

Geometry and Destiny [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The recognition that the cosmological constant may be non-zero forces us to re-evaluate standard notions about the connection between geometry and the fate of our Universe. An open Universe can recollapse, and a closed Universe can expand forever.

Is Geometry Analytic? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper I present critical evaluations of Ayer and Putnam's views on the analyticity of geometry. By drawing on the historico-philosophical work of Michael Friedman on the relativized apriori; and Roberto Torretti on the foundations of geometry, I ...

Geometry without topology as a new conception of geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A geometric conception is a method of a geometry construction. The Riemannian geometric conception and a new T-geometric one are considered. T-geometry is built only on the basis of information included in the metric (distance between two points).

Expansion, Geometry, and Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In general-relativistic cosmological models, the expansion history, matter content, and geometry are closely intertwined. In this brief paper, we clarify the distinction between the effects of geometry and expansion history on the luminosity distance. We

Semirigid Geometry

open access: yes, 1991
We provide an intrinsic description of $N$-super \RS s and $TN$-\SR\ surfaces. Semirigid surfaces occur naturally in the description of topological gravity as well as topological supergravity.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
