Abstract We continue our study of the mixed Einstein–Hilbert action as a functional pseudo-Riemannian metric and linear connection. Its geometrical part is total scalar curvature on smooth manifold endowed with distribution or foliation. develop variational formulas for quantities extrinsic geometry metric-affine space use them to derive Euler–Lagrange equations (which in case space-time are an...

Explicit product formulas are obtained for families of multivariate polynomials which are orthogonal on simplices and on a parabolic biangle in R. These product formulas are shown to give rise to measure algebras which are hypergroups. The article also includes an elementary proof that the Michael topology for the space of compact subsets of a topological space (which is used in the definition ...

The paper is devoted to a revision of the metric regularity property for mappings between metric or Banach spaces. Some new concepts are introduced: uniform metric regularity and metric multi-regularity for mappings into product spaces, when each component is perturbed independently. Regularity criteria are established based on a nonlocal version of Lyusternik-Graves theorem due to Milyutin. Th...

We set up a model for reasoning about metric spaces with belief theoretic measures. The uncertainty in these spaces stems from both probability and metric structures. To represent both aspect of uncertainty, we choose an expected distance function as a measure of uncertainty. A formal logical system is constructed for the reasoning about expected distance. Soundness and completeness are shown f...

Recall that a metric space M is said to be complete if every Cauchy sequence in M converges to a limit in M . Not all metric spaces are complete, but it is a fact that all metric spaces can be “completed”, in a way that preserves the essential structure of the metric space. If the space in question is a normed linear space this process completes the space to a Banach space, and an inner product...

We derive and study necessary and sufficient conditions for an S-bundle to admit an invariant metric of positive or nonnegative sectional curvature. In case the total space has an invariant metric of nonnegative curvature and the base space is odd dimensional, we prove that the total space contains a flat totally geodesic immersed cylinder. We provide several examples, including a connection me...
