Spinors in extended Minkowski space

open access: yes, 2023
The exterior algebra of Minkowski space naturally has the structure of a sixteen-dimensional Clifford algebra representation, and so can be used as the space of spinors.

Variational tolerancing analysis taking thermomechanical strains into account: application to a high pressure turbine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aim of this study is to propose a variational method of tolerancing analysis using a multiphysical approach. This method is based on operations on polytopes (Minkowski sum and intersection) and can be used to validate geometric specifications ...

Conformal invariants of Minkowski space [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1985
The conformal invariant defined for compact Riemannian manifolds by Yamabe is generalized to pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and is shown to be nontrivial for Minkowski space. We also make some elementary remarks about generalizations of Yamabe’s equation to sections of vector bundles, as have been studied by physicists concerned with Goldstone bosons and ...

Presentism in a World Denied Instantaneous Signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The special theory of relativity (STR) is widely regarded as the primary threat to the otherwise intuitive presentist worldview. In particular, both the relativity and conventionality of simultaneity within STR appear to undermine presentism and support

Geometric properties of the Minkowski operator

open access: yesҚарағанды университетінің хабаршысы. Математика сериясы
This article is about Minkowski difference of sets, which is one of the Minkowski operators. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the Minkowski difference of given regular polygons in the plane were derived. The method of finding

On the new approach for the energy of elastica

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Technology, 2018
In this work, we firstly describe conditions for being elastica in Minkowski space E41. Then we investigate the energy of the elastic curves and exploit its relationship with the energy of Bishop vectors belong to that elastic curves E41.

Periodic lattices in Minkowski space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We describe a set of periodic lattices in (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski space, where each lattice has an associated symmetry group consisting of inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations that map the lattice onto itself.

Star product realizations of _{K}-Minkowski space

open access: yes, 2013
We define a family of star products and involutions associated with κ-Minkowski space. Applying corresponding quantization maps we show that these star products restricted to a certain space of Schwartz functions have isomorphic Banach algebra ...

Time as a geometric property of space

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2016
The proper description of time remains a key unsolved problem in science. Newton conceived of time as absolute and universal which it `flows equably without relation to anything external'}.
