The Monstrous Mark of Cinema: Mulholland Drive, Spherology, and the “Virtual Space” of Filmic Fiction

open access: yesFilm-Philosophy, 2023
This article interprets David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001) to argue for the morphological influence cinematic images have on modernity's monstrous identity.

Brief communication: Evaluation of the near-surface climate in ERA5 over the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
The ERA5 reanalysis, recently made available by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), is a new reanalysis product at a high resolution replacing ERA-Interim and is considered to provide the best climate reanalysis over Greenland

Music of the Spheres in Akbarian Sufism

open access: yesReligions, 2022
As per tradition, no human could hear the music of the spheres save for Pythagoras. Ibn ʿArabī, however, claimed he heard this music each time he prayed sincerely.

Farrell-Jones spheres and inertia groups of complex projective spaces [PDF]

open access: yesForum Mathematicum, Vol. 27 (2015), No. 5, pp. 3005-3015, 2015
We introduce and study a new class of homotopy spheres called Farrell-Jones spheres. Using Farrell-Jones sphere we construct examples of closed negatively curved manifolds $M^{2n}$, where $n=7$ or $8$, which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to complex hyperbolic manifolds, thereby giving a partial answer to a question raised by C.S.

Dyson spheres

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2020
I review the origins and development of the idea of Dyson spheres, their purpose, their engineering, and their detectability. I explicate the ways in which the popular imagining of them as monolithic objects would make them dynamically unstable under gravity and radiation pressure, and mechanically unstable to buckling.

Beyond fuzzy spheres

open access: yes, 2009
We study polynomial deformations of the fuzzy sphere, specifically given by the cubic or the Higgs algebra. We derive the Higgs algebra by quantizing the Poisson structure on a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

The Embedding of Two-Spheres in the Four-Sphere [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1961
We consider the question of reducing the homeomorphism problem for pairs of topological spaces to the homeomorphism problem for single spaces. Of particular interest is the strength of the invariant X-A of the pair (X, A). In the first chapter we discuss the problem in its general setting. In the second chapter we consider the embedding of n-spheres in

On contact p-spheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study invariant contact p-spheres on principal circle-bundles and solve the corresponding existence problem in dimension 3. Moreover, we show that contact p-spheres can only exist on (4n-1)-dimensional manifolds and we construct examples of contact p ...

Examples of Non-Conformal Submersions from Spheres with Umbilical Fibers

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2014
We directly prove that the foliation of the sphere S2n+1, the leaves of which are intersections of all complex linear 2-dimensional subspaces of ℂn+1 translated by a constant vector p, defines a submersion that is horizontally conformal if and only if p ...
