TL;DR: The theory of quasiconformal maps in metric spaces that satisfy certain bounds on their mass and geometry has been studied in this article, and the main message is that such a theory is both relevant and viable.
Abstract: This paper develops the foundations of the theory of quasiconformal maps in metric spaces that satisfy certain bounds on their mass and geometry. The principal message is that such a theory is both relevant and viable. The first main issue is the problem of definition, which we next describe. Quasiconformal maps are commonly understood as homeomorphisms that distort the shape of infinitesimal balls by a uniformly bounded amount. This requirement makes sense in every metric space. Given a homeomorphism f from a metric space X to a metric space Y , then for x∈X and r>0 set
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Schwarzschild metric has certain characteristics that correspond to a ring of mass that is rotating about its axis of symmetry, which is the case of the Riemann tensor.
Abstract: It is shown that by means of a complex coordinate transformation performed on the monopole or Schwarzschild metric one obtains a new metric (first discovered by Kerr). It has been suggested that this metric be interpreted as that arising from a spinning particle. We wish to suggest a more complicated interpretation, namely that the metric has certain characteristics that correspond to a ring of mass that is rotating about its axis of symmetry. The argument for this interpretation comes from three separate places: (1) the metric appears to have the appropriate multipole structure when analyzed in the manner discussed in the previous paper, (2) in a covariantly defined flat space associated with the metric, the Riemann tensor has a circular singularity, (3) there exists a closely analogous solution of Maxwell's equations that has characteristics of a field due to a rotating ring of charge.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors establish a general criterion for a set of non-Hermitian operators to constitute a consistent quantum mechanical system, which allows for the normal quantum-mechanical interpretation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the principal empirical laws of equilibrium thermodynamics can be brought into correspondence with the mathematical axioms of an abstract metric space, which permits one to associate with the thermodynamic formalism a geometrical aspect, with intrinsic metric structure, which is distinct from that arising from graphical representations of equilibrium surfaces in phase space.
