New Brownian motion defined in Minkowski normed spaces.

General $(α, β)$ norms are an important class of Minkowski norms which contains the original $(α, β)$ norms. In this note, by studying the behavior of the Darboux curves of the indicatrix, we give a characterization of 3-dimensional general $(α, β)$ norms. By studying the isoperimetric properties of the indicatrix, as …

Proposes a new K-means method for efficient clustering of nonlinear data.

We study contractivity properties of gradient flows for functions on normed spaces or, more generally, on Finsler manifolds. Contractivity of the flows turns out to be equivalent to a new notion of convexity for the functions. This is different from the usual convexity along geodesics in non-Riemannian Finsler manifold…

The traditional Minkowski distances are induced by the corresponding Minkowski norms in real-valued vector spaces. In this work, we propose novel statistical symmetric distances based on the Minkowski's inequality for probability densities belonging to Lebesgue spaces. These statistical Minkowski distances admit closed…

The paper proves conjectures about Minkowski norms with specific symmetry groups.

We introduce and study deformation $T_{{\bf b},φ}$ of Minkowski norms in $\mathbb{R}^n$, determined by a set ${\bf b}=(β_1,\ldots,β_p)$ of linearly independent 1-forms and a smooth positive function $φ$ of $p$ variables. In particular, the $T_{{\bf b},φ}$-image of a Euclidean norm $α$ is a Minkowski norm, whose indicat…

We consider a complete, totally umbilical hypersurface $M$ of Riemannian space $(\hat{R}^n, \hat{g})$ induced by a Minkowski space $(R^n, F)$. Under certain conditions we prove that $M$ is isometric to a "round" hypersphere of the $(n + 1)-$dimensional Euclidean space. We also prove that the Minkowski norm $F$ must be …

The paper examines stability of Minkowski inequalities in warped product spaces.

The paper studies Minkowski norms and Hessian isometries induced by isoparametric foliations on spheres.

In this paper we study curvature types of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional (normed or) Minkowski spaces. By endowing the surface with a normal vector field, which is a transversal vector field given by the ambient Birkhoff orthogonality, we get an analogue of the Gauss map. Then we can define concepts of principa…

The normal map given by Birkhoff orthogonality yields extensions of principal, Gaussian and mean curvatures to surfaces immersed in three-dimensional spaces whose geometry is given by an arbitrary norm and which are also called Minkowski spaces. We obtain characterizations of the Minkowski Gaussian curvature in terms o…

New stability theorem for hypersurfaces in Minkowski spaces.

This survey is an introduction to the geometry of co-Minkowksi space, the space of unoriented spacelike hyperplanes of the Minkowski space. Affine deformations of cocompact lattices of hyperbolic isometries act on it, in a way similar to the way that quasi-Fuchsian groups act on hyperbolic space. In particular, there i…

Stability of Minkowski space-time in Einstein-Yang-Mills system proven.

Stability of Minkowski space-time in higher dimensions proven for arbitrary small perturbations.

The norm of Cartan torsion plays an important role for studying of immersion theory in Finsler geometry. Indeed, Finsler manifold with unbounded Cartan torsion can not be isometrically imbedded into any Minkowski space. In this paper, we find two subclasses of (?, ?)-metrics which have bounded Cartan torsion. Then, we …

We do further investigation in a certain cosine function defined for smooth Minkowski spaces. We prove that such function is symmetric if and only if the referred space is Euclidean, and also that it can be given in terms of the Gateaux derivative of the norm. As an application we use it to study the ratio between the …

It is shown that the Hilbert geometry $(D,h_D)$ associated to a bounded convex domain $D\subset \mathbb{E}^n$ is isometric to a normed vector space $(V,||\cdot ||)$ if and only if $D$ is an open $n$-simplex. One further result on the asymptotic geometry of Hilbert's metric is obtained with corollaries for the behavior …

In this paper we study a flow by minkowskian curvature where we have a different Minkowski plane at each time. We derive some evolution formulas, present sufficient hypotesis for the short time existence and convexity of solutions and study the motion considering a particular type of families of Minkowski norms. Also, …

Paper links set derivatives to its orthogonal projections.

Consider a convex polygon P in the plane, and denote by U a homothetical copy of the vector sum of P and (-P). Then the polygon U, as unit ball, induces a norm such that, with respect to this norm, P has constant Minkowskian width. We define notions like Minkowskian curvature, evolutes and involutes for polygons of con…

Derives stability for curvature measure near constant density, proving dual Minkowski problem solutions.

We prove three facts about intrinsic geometry of surfaces in a normed (Minkowski) space. When put together, these facts demonstrate a rather intriguing picture. We show that (1) geodesics on saddle surfaces (in a space of any dimension) behave as they are expected to: they have no conjugate points and thus minimize len…

Polytopes in R^n with integral vertices form a monoid under the Minkowski sum, and the Grothendieck construction gives rise to a group. We show that every symmetric polytope is a norm in this group for every n.

In this paper, the Cartan tensors of the $(α,β)$-norms are investigated in details. Then an equivalence theorem of $(α,β)$-norms is proved. As a consequence in Finsler geometry, general $(α,β)$-metrics on smooth manifolds of dimension $n\geq4$ with vanishing Landsberg curvatures must be Berwald manifolds.

In this paper results from the differential geometry of curves are extended from normed planes to gauge planes which are obtained by neglecting the symmetry axiom. Based on the gauge analogue of the notion of Birkhoff orthogonality from Banach space theory, we study all curvature types of curves in gauge planes, thus g…

We prove that the set of smooth, $π$-periodic, positive functions on the unit circle for which the $L_{-2}$ Minkowski problem is solvable is dense in the set of all smooth, $π$-periodic, positive functions on the unit circle with respect to the $L^{\infty}$ norm. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary condition on the solv…

For a surface immersed in a three-dimensional space endowed with a norm instead of an inner product, one can define analogous concepts of curvature and metric. With these concepts in mind, various questions immediately appear. The aim of this paper is to propose and answer some of those questions. In this framework we …

We establish a sharp extrinsic lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of an untrapped surface in initial data sets without apparent horizon in terms of the norm of its mean curvature vector. The equality case leads to rigidity results for the constraint equations with spherical boundary as well as u…

Proves stability of Minkowski space-time in Einstein-Yang-Mills system.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the differential geometry of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional normed spaces from the viewpoint of affine differential geometry. We endow the surface with a useful Riemannian metric which is closely related to normal curvature, and from this we re-calculate the Minkowski Gau…

If the Lorentzian norm on a maximal surface in the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space $R_1^3$ is positive and proper, then the surface is relative parabolic. As a consequence, entire maximal graphs with a closed set of isolated singularities are relative parabolic. Furthermore, maximal and minimal graphs over closed…

Developed a sub-Riemannian version of Minkowski problem in Heisenberg groups.

Finsler space is differentiable manifold for which Minkowski space is the fiber of the tangent bundle. To understand structure of the reference frame in Finsler space, we need to understand the structure of orthonormal basis in Minkowski space. In this paper, we considered the definition of orthonormal basis in Minkows…

In this paper, we endow the space of continuous translation invariant valuation on convex sets generated by mixed volumes coupled with a suitable Radon measure on tuples of convex bodies with two appropriate norms. This enables us to construct a continuous extension of the convolution operator on smooth valuations to n…

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.
