The local Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space with values in a space of tensor measures. They generalize at the same time the intrinsic volumes, the curvature measures and the isometry covariant Minkowski tensors that were introduced by McMullen and characterized by Alesker. In analogy to the characterization theorems of Hadwiger and Alesker, we giv...

We show that all harmonic morphisms from 3-dimensional Minkowski space with values in a surface have a Weierstrass representation involving the complex numbers or the hyperbolic numbers depending on the signature of the codomain. We deduce that there is a nontrivial globally defined submersive harmonic morphism from Minkowski 3-space to a surface, in contrast to the Riemannian case. We show tha...

This is a supplement to our previous research note [3]. In [3], we gave a characterization of biharmonic curves in Minkowski 3-space. More precisely, we pointed out that every biharmonic curves with nonnull principal normal in Minkowski 3-space is a helix, whose curvature κ and torsion τ satisfy κ2 = τ2. In the classification of biharmonic curves in Minkowski 3-space due to Chen and Ishikawa [1...

In this paper we have studied the nature of kinematical and dynamical laws in κ-Minkowski spacetime from a new perspective: the canonical phase space approach. We discuss a particular form of κ-Minkowski phase space algebra that yields the κ-extended finite Lorentz transformations derived in [16]. This is a particular form of a Deformed Special Relativity model that admits a modified energy-mom...

In this paper we have studied the nature of kinematical and dynamical laws in κ-Minkowski spacetime from a new perspective: the canonical phase space approach. We have introduced a new form of κ-Minkowski phase space algebra from which we recover the κ-extended finite Lorentz transformations derived in [13]. This is a particular form of a Deformed Special Relativity model that admits a modified...

Using only the principle of relativity and Euclidean geometry we show in this pedagogical article that the square of proper time or length in a two-dimensional spacetime diagram is proportional to the Euclidean area of the corresponding causal domain. We use this relation to derive the Minkowski line element by two geometric proofs of the spacetime Pythagoras theorem. Introduction Spacetime dia...

Minkowski type inequalities for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied in a rather general form. Also related inequalities to Minkowski type inequality for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied. Several examples are given to illustrate the validity of theorems. Some results on Chebyshev and Minkowski type inequalities are obtained.

The star product technique translates the framework of local fields on noncommutative space–time into nonlocal fields on standard space– time. We consider the example of fields on κ– deformed Minkowski space, transforming under κ–deformed Poincaré group with noncommutative parameters. By extending the star product to the tensor product of functions on κ–deformed Minkowski space and κ-deformed P...

A metric set is entire if the addition of any point to the set increases the diameter. A convex body has constant width if all pairs of parallel supporting planes are the same distance apart. These concepts are known to be equivalent in euclidean space. The present paper shows that they are also equivalent in a minkowski space. A proof for this equivalence for the minkowski plane was given by M...
