Lorentzian distances to Cauchy surfaces fail to be locally equi-Lipschitz.

Refines d'Alembertian for signed Lorentz distance functions in metric measure spacetimes.

In a recent work I showed that the family of smooth steep time functions can be used to recover the order, the topology and the (Lorentz-Finsler) distance of spacetime. In this work I present the main ideas entering the proof of the (smooth) distance formula, particularly the product trick which converts metric stateme…

New approach classifies rotational Weingarten surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space.

We prove that every Kaehler metric, whose potential is a function of the time-like distance in the flat Kaehler-Lorentz space, is of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, satisfying certain conditions. This gives a local classification of the Kaehler manifolds with the above mentioned metrics. New examples o…

The paper characterizes global hyperbolicity in Lorentzian manifolds without relying on manifold topology.

The paper proves properties of Lipschitz spacetimes with bounded Ricci curvature.

The physics of classical particles in a Lorentz-breaking spacetime has numerous features resembling the properties of Finsler geometry. In particular, the Lagrange function plays a role similar to that of a Finsler structure function. A summary is presented of recent results, including new calculable Finsler structures…

Navigation in Lorentz Finsler geometry induces isoparametric hypersurfaces.

Optimizes transport in Finsler spacetimes with lower Ricci bounds.

A consistent theory of quantum gravity (QG) at Planck scale almost sure contains manifestations of Lorentz local symmetry violations (LV) which may be detected at observable scales. This can be effectively described and classified by models with nonlinear dispersions and related Finsler metrics and fundamental geometri…

While conformal transformations of the plane preserve Laplace's equation, Lorentz-conformal mappings preserve the wave equation. We discover how simple geometric objects, such as quadrilaterals and pairs of crossing curves, are transformed under nonlinear Lorentz-conformal mappings. Squares are transformed into curvili…

We study minimal Lorentz surfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean 4-space with neutral metric whose first normal space is two-dimensional and whose Gauss curvature $K$ and normal curvature $\varkappa$ satisfy the inequality $K^2-\varkappa^2 >0$. Such surfaces we call minimal Lorentz surfaces of general type. On any surface of …

Paper connects surfaces in 4D and 3D spacetime.

The work focuses upon the relativistic and geometric properties of the space--time endowed tentatively with the metric function of the Berwald--Moor type. The zero curvature of indicatrix is a remarkable property of the approach. We demonstrate how the associated geodesic equations can be solved in a transparent way, t…

In this paper, we introduce the pseudo-torsion functions along spacelike curves whose curvature vector field has isolated lightlike points in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, and prove the fundamental theorem. Moreover, we analyze the behavior of the torsion function at such points. As a corollary, we obtain a necessary and …

A left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric $d$ on the shortened Lorentz group $SO_0(2,1)$ under the condition that $d$ is right-invariant relative to the orthogonal Lie subgroup $1\otimes SO(2)$ is studied. The distance between arbitrary two elements, the cut locus (as the union of the subgroup $1\otimes SO(2)$ with the an…

The paper studies a flow of spacelike curves in a Lorentz-Minkowski plane, showing convergence to a constant function.

We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of geometric functions. We prove a fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem in terms …

The optimal transport problem is studied in the context of Lorentz-Finsler geometry. For globally hyperbolic Lorentz-Finsler spacetimes the first Kantorovich problem and the Monge problem are solved. Further the intermediate regularity of the transport paths is studied. These results generalize parts of Bertrand & Puel…

We study conformal Fefferman-Lorentz manifolds introduced by Fefferman. To do so, we introduce Fefferman-Lorentz structure on (2n+2)-dimensional manifolds. By using causal conformal vector fields preserving that structure, we shall establish two theorems on compact Fefferman-Lorentz manifolds: One is the coincidence of…

On a Riemannian manifold, lower Ricci curvature bounds are known to be characterized by geodesic convexity properties of various entropies with respect to the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein square distance from optimal transportation. These notions also make sense in a (nonsmooth) metric measure setting, where they…

Study minimal timelike surfaces in 3D Lorentz-Minkowski space using holomorphic functions.

In this thesis, we consider the suitability of using the charged cold fluid model in the description of ultra-relativistic beams. The method that we have used is the following. Firstly, the necessary notions of kinetic theory and differential geometry of second order differential equations are explained. Then an averag…

Study of prescribed mean curvature flow on noncompact hypersurfaces in Lorentz manifolds.

Study shows compact Lorentz manifolds can't have closed geodesics.

This is Part II of a series on noncompact isometry groups of Lorentz manifolds. We have introduced in Part I, a compactification of these isometry groups, and called ``bi-polarized'' those Lorentz manifolds having a ``trivial '' compactification. Here we show a geometric rigidity of non-bi-polarized Lorentz manifolds; …

A world sheet in Lorentz-Minkowski space is a timelike submanifold consisting of a one-parameter family of spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space. In this paper we investigate differential geometry of world sheets in Lorentz-Minkowski space as an application of the theory of big wave fronts.

The three-dimensional Heisenberg group $H_3$ has three left-invariant Lorentz metrics $g_1$, $g_2$ and $g_3$. They are not isometric each other. In this paper, we characterize the left-invariant Lorentzian metric $g_1$ as a Lorentz Ricci soliton. This Ricci soliton $g_1$ is a shrinking non-gradient Ricci soliton. Likew…
