چکیده
Invertible compositions of one-dimensional maps are studied which are assumed to include maps with non-positive Schwarzian derivative and others whose sum of distortions is bounded. If the assumptions of the Koebe principle hold, we show that the joint distortion of the composition is bounded. On the other hand, if all maps with possibly non-negative Schwarzian derivative are almost linear-fractional and their nonlinearities tend to cancel leaving only a small total, then they can all be replaced with affine maps with the same domains and images and the resulting composition is a very good approximation of the original one. These technical tools are then applied to prove a theorem about critical circle maps.

The Carathéodory and Kobayashi Metrics and Applications in Complex Analysis
The Carathéodory and Kobayashi metrics have proved to be important tools in the function theory of several complex variables. But they are less familiar in the context of one complex variable. Our purpose here is to gather in one place the basic ideas about these important invariant metrics for domains in the plane and to provide some illuminating examples and applications. 0 Prefatory Thoughts...

The zero-signature Killing metric of a new, real-valued, 8-dimensional gauging of the conformal group accounts for the complex character of quantum mechanics. The new gauge theory gives manifolds which generalize curved, relativistic phase space. The difference in signature between the usual momentum space metric and the Killing metric of the new geometry gives rise to an imaginary proportional...

A multidimensional gravitational model containing several dilatonic scalar fields and antisymmetric forms is considered. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M 0 × M 1 ×. .. × M n , where M i are Einstein spaces (i ≥ 1). The block-diagonal metric is chosen and all fields and scale factors of the metric are functions on M 0. For the forms composite (electromagnetic) p-brane ansatz is adopted. ...

Why does the physical 4-dimensional space have a 3 + 1 signature rather than a 4 + 0 or a 2 + 2 for its metric? We give a simple explanation based largely on a group-theoretic argument a la Wigner. Applied to flat spaces of higher dimensions the same approach indicates that metrics with more than one time dimension are physically unacceptable because the corresponding irreducible unitary repres...

We show how Wigner's little group approach to the representation theory of Poincaré group may be generalized to the case of κ-deformed Poincaré group. We also derive the deformed Lorentz transformations of energy and momentum. We find that if the κ-deformed Poincaré group is adopted as the fundamental symmetry of nature, it results in deviations from predictions of the Poincaré symmetry at larg...
