Minkowski’s Embedding

چکیده
It’s a catchy term, but let us beware of mistaking a slogan for an argument! Dissatisfied with several features of [2, p. 224–225], I attempt here belatedly to restore the original train of thought. Fighting fire with fire, I coin a new term of my own, calling the expression (1) the “total norm” of ξ. Though chosen in reference to the summation involved, the name is happily consistent with the terminology for totally real or totally complex fields.

Minkowski, Mathematicians, and the Mathematical Theory of Relativity
T HE IMPORTANCE OF THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY for twentieth-century physics, and the appearance of the Göttingen mathematician Hermann Minkowski at a turning point in its history have both attracted significant historical attention. The rapid growth in scientific and philosophical interest in the principle of relativity has been linked to the intervention of Minkowski by Tetu Hirosige, who identi...
متن کامل2 00 2 Successive Minima and Lattice Points
The main purpose of this note is to prove an upper bound on the number of lattice points of a centrally symmetric convex body in terms of the successive minima of the body. This bound improves on former bounds and narrows the gap towards a lattice point analogue of Minkowski’s second theorem on successive minima. Minkowski’s proof of his second theorem is rather lengthy and it was also criticis...
متن کامل8 J ul 2 00 8 What is missing from Minkowski ’ s “ Raum und Zeit ” lecture
This contribution tries to highlight the importance of Minkowski’s “Raum und Zeit” lecture in a “negative” way, where negative is taken in the photographic sense of reversing lights and shades. Indeed, we focus on the “shades” of Minkowski’s text, i.e. what is missing, or misunderstood. In particular, we focus on two issues: (i) why are Poincaré’s pioneering contributions to four-dimensional ge...
متن کاملA Functional Generalization of Diamond–α Integral Minkowski’s Type Inequality on Time Scales
In this paper, we establish a functional generalization of Minkowski’s type inequality on time scales based on diamond-α integral, which is introduced as a linear combination of the delta and nabla integrals. Some related results are also obtained.
