Deforming convex bodies in Minkowski geometry

We introduce and study certain deformation of Minkowski norms in [Formula: see text] determined by a set of [Formula: see text] linearly independent 1-forms and a smooth positive function of [Formula: see text] variables. In particular, the deformation of a Euclidean norm [Formula: see text] produces a Minkowski norm defined in our recent work; its indicatrix is a rotation hypersurface with a [Formula: see text]-dimensional axis passing through the origin. For [Formula: see text], our deformation generalizes the construction of [Formula: see text]-norms which form a rich class of “computable” Minkowski norms and play an important role in Finsler geometry. We characterize such pairs of a Minkowski norm and its image that Cartan torsions of the two norms either coincide or differ by a [Formula: see text]-reducible term. We conjecture that for [Formula: see text] any Minkowski norm can be approximated by images of a Euclidean norm.

Research of a Fractal Microstrip Antenna Based on the Modified Minkowski Curve of the Second Iteration

Evolving telecommunications systems require modern antennas with improved performance. The creation of miniature antennas with a high gain, multi-band properties and defined polarization is an urgent task. New challenges in the reception and emission of electromagnetic waves are being solved in different ways. The use of fractals in the construction of antennas is becoming widespread. This article presents the results of a study of fractal microstrip antenna of the second iteration based on the Minkowski geometry. The main parameters such as the reflection coefficient, directivity and efficiency are described. Resonance frequencies and directional patterns at these frequencies as well as bandwidths are shown. Conclusions concerning the possibility of using this type of antenna in various applications are drawn.

Dendrogramic Representation of Data: CHSH Violation vs. Nonergodicity

This paper is devoted to the foundational problems of dendrogramic holographic theory (DH theory). We used the ontic–epistemic (implicate–explicate order) methodology. The epistemic counterpart is based on the representation of data by dendrograms constructed with hierarchic clustering algorithms. The ontic universe is described as a p-adic tree; it is zero-dimensional, totally disconnected, disordered, and bounded (in p-adic ultrametric spaces). Classical–quantum interrelations lose their sharpness; generally, simple dendrograms are “more quantum” than complex ones. We used the CHSH inequality as a measure of quantum-likeness. We demonstrate that it can be violated by classical experimental data represented by dendrograms. The seed of this violation is neither nonlocality nor a rejection of realism, but the nonergodicity of dendrogramic time series. Generally, the violation of ergodicity is one of the basic features of DH theory. The dendrogramic representation leads to the local realistic model that violates the CHSH inequality. We also considered DH theory for Minkowski geometry and monitored the dependence of CHSH violation and nonergodicity on geometry, as well as a Lorentz transformation of data.

Helical Hypersurfaces in Minkowski Geometry E 1 4

We define helical (i.e., helicoidal) hypersurfaces depending on the axis of rotation in Minkowski four-space E 1 4 . There are three types of helicoidal hypersurfaces. We derive equations for the curvatures (i.e., Gaussian and mean) and give some examples of these hypersurfaces. Finally, we obtain a theorem classifying the helicoidal hypersurface with timelike axes satisfying Δ I H = A H .

Classification of curves on de Sitter plane

In 1917, de Sitter used the modified Einstein equation and proposed a model of the Universe without physical matter, but with a cosmological constant. De Sitter geometry, as well as Minkowski geometry, is maximally symmetrical. However, de Sitter geometry is better suited to describe gravitational fields. It is believed that the real Universe was described by the de Sitter model in the very early stages of expansion (inflationary model of the Universe). This article is devoted to the problem of classification of regular curves on the de Sitter space. As a model of the de Sitter plane, the upper half-plane on which the metric is given is chosen. For this purpose, an algebra of differential invariants of curves with respect to the motions of the de Sitter plane is constructed. As it turned out, this algebra is generated by one second-order differential invariant (we call it by de Sitter curvature) and two invariant differentiations. Thus, when passing to the next jets, the dimension of the algebra of differential invariants increases by one. The concept of regular curves is introduced. Namely, a curve is called regular if the restriction of de Sitter curvature to it can be considered as parameterization of the curve. A theorem on the equivalence of regular curves with respect to the motions of the de Sitter plane is proved. The singular orbits of the group of proper motions are described.

On Insolvability of the 4-th Hilbert Problem for Hyperbolic Geometries

The article proves the insolvability of the 4-th Hilbert Problem for hyperbolic geometries. It has been hypothesized that this fundamental mathematical result (the insolvability of the 4-th Hilbert Problem) holds for other types of non-Euclidean geometry (geometry of Riemann (elliptic geometry), non-Archimedean geometry, and Minkowski geometry). The ancient Golden Section, described in Euclid’s Elements (Proposition II.11) and the following from it Mathematics of Harmony, as a new direction in geometry, are the main mathematical apparatus for this fundamental result. By the way, this solution is reminiscent of the insolvability of the 10-th Hilbert Problem for Diophantine equations in integers. This outstanding mathematical result was obtained by the talented Russian mathematician Yuri Matiyasevich in 1970, by using Fibonacci numbers, introduced in 1202 by the famous Italian mathematician Leonardo from Pisa (by the nickname Fibonacci), and the new theorems in Fibonacci numbers theory, proved by the outstanding Russian mathematician Nikolay Vorobyev and described by him in the third edition of his book “Fibonacci numbers”.

Axes for symmetric convex curves

Curves are given in polar coordinates (r, θ)by equations of the form r = f (θ), where for f (θ) > 0 all θ. Consider curves which are symmetric about the origin O, so that, f(θ + π) = f (θ) for all θ. For such a curve, its interior is the set {(r, θ) : 0 ≤ r ≤ f (θ)}. Further, assume that the curve is convex. Recall that a closed curve is convex if a line segment between any two of its points has no points exterior to the curve [1], [2, pp. 198-203]. We call these curves M-curves, because the curves are fundamental objects in Minkowski geometry, where they are called Minkowski circles or simply circles [3, 4]. That application is briefly discussed in the Section 4 but is not required for our purposes.Examples of M-curves are displayed in Figures 1 to 6. In order to express these curves as functions in rectangular coordinates, we need axes.
