The relationship between Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity and Hendrik A. Lorentz’s ether theory is best understood in terms of competing interpretations of Lorentz invariance. In the 1890s, Lorentz proved and exploited the Lorentz invariance of Maxwell’s equations, the laws governing electromagnetic fields in the ether, with what he called the theorem of corresponding states. To a...

In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for a bi-nonlocal equation with sign-changing weight functions. We use some natural constraints and the Ljusternik-Schnirelman critical point theory on C1-manifolds, to prove our main results.

‎We prove that there do not exist totally contact umbilical‎ ‎proper slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds other than totally contact geodesic‎ ‎proper slant lightlike submanifolds‎. ‎We also prove that there do‎ ‎not exist totally contact umbilical proper slant lightlike‎ ‎submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian space forms‎.

We establish some relative volume comparison theorems for extremal volume forms of‎ ‎Finsler manifolds under suitable curvature bounds‎. ‎As their applications‎, ‎we obtain some results on curvature and topology of Finsler manifolds‎. ‎Our results remove the usual assumption on S-curvature that is needed in the literature‎.

If Lorentz violation exists, it will affect the thresholds for pair creation processes. Lorentz-violating operators that change the maximum velocities of charged particles may increase or decrease the extinction rate of γ-rays moving through space. If the emissions from high-energy astrophysical sources do not show any signs of anomalous absorption, this allows us to place bounds on the Lorentz...

In this study the centre manifold is applied for reduction and limit cycle calculation of a highly nonlinear structural aeroelastic wing. The limit cycle is arisen from structural nonlinearity due to the large deflection of the wing. Results obtained by different orders of centre manifolds are compared with those obtained by time marching method (fourth-order Runge-Kutta method). These comparis...

The Standard Model Extension (SME) provides the most general observer-independent field theoretical framework for investigations of Lorentz violation. The SME lagrangian by definition contains all Lorentz-violating interaction terms that can be written as observer scalars and that involve particle fields in the Standard Model and gravitational fields in a generalized theory of gravity. This inc...

the decomposition $gamma=bh$ of a group $gamma$ into a subset $b$ and a subgroup $h$ of $gamma$ induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for $b$, known as a gyrogroup. the famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup, which motivated the emergence of gyrogroups into the mainstream, is the space of all relativistically admissible velocities along with a binary operation given by t...
