• An exterior-algebraic derivation of the symmetric stress–energy–momentum tensor in flat space–time

  Martinez, Alfonso; Font Segura, Josep; Colombaro, Ivano (Springer, 2021)

  This paper characterizes the symmetric rank-2 stress–energy–momentum tensor associated with fields whose Lagrangian densities are expressed as the dot product of two multivector fields, e.g., scalar or gauge fields, in ...
• Morse description and morphological encoding of continuous data

  Caselles, Vicente; Sapiro, Guillermo; Solé, Andrés; Ballester, Coloma (SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics), 2006)

  A geometric representation for images is studied in this work. This is based on two complementary geometric structures for the topographic representation of an image. The first one computes a description of the Morse ...
