Gravitational Waves: Just Plane Symmetry [PDF]
We present some remarkable properties of the symmetry group for gravitational plane waves. Our main observation is that metrics with plane wave symmetry satisfy every system of generally covariant vacuum field equations except the Einstein equations. The

On Minimal Absorption Index for an n-Dimensional Simplex
Let \(n\in{\mathbb N}\) and let \(Q_n\) be the unit cube \([0,1]^n\). For a nondegenerate simplex \(S\subset{\mathbb R}^n\), by \(\sigma S\) denote the homothetic copy of \(S\) with center of homothety in the center of gravity of \(S\) and ratio of ...

The Geometry of (Super) Conformal Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
N-particle quantum mechanics described by a sigma model with an N-dimensional target space with torsion is considered. It is shown that an SL(2,R) conformal symmetry exists if and only if the geometry admits a homothetic Killing vector $D^a$ whose ...

Connaissance et métamorphoses de l’Iliade en Étrurie
The author offers an itinerary through the images of the Trojan Cycle and the Iliad that arrived or were reinterpreted in Etruria between the ancient orientalizing period and the 4th century B.C.From the 7th century on, knowledge of the Greek epic (which

Two-Time Physics with gravitational and gauge field backgrounds [PDF]
It is shown that all possible gravitational, gauge and other interactions experienced by particles in ordinary d-dimensions (one-time) can be described in the language of two-time physics in a spacetime with d+2 dimensions.

On a class of topological conjugacy with a homothety
We consider a class H(Rn) of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of Euclidean space Rn such that for any homeomorphism h∈H(Rn) and for any point x∈Rn a condition limn→+∞hn(x)→O holds, were O is the origin. It is proved that for any n≥1 an arbitrary homeomorphism h∈H(Rn) is topologically conjugated with the homothety an:Rn→Rn, given by an(x1,…,an ...

The subject matter of the paper is the problem of optimal packing of spheres of different dimension into a container of arbitrary geometric shape. The goal is to construct a mathematical model which associates different statements of the problem.

Five-dimensional Perfect Simplices
Let $Q_n=[0,1]^n$ be the unit cube in ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n \in {\mathbb N}$. For a nondegenerate simplex $S\subset{\mathbb R}^n$, consider the value $\xi(S)=\min \{\sigma>0: Q_n\subset \sigma S\}$.
