The notion of a formally smooth bimodule is introduced and its basic properties are analyzed. In particular it is proven that a $B$-$A$ bimodule $M$ which is a generator left $B$-module is formally smooth if and only if the $M$-Hochschild…
We prove that the positive mass theorem applies to Lipschitz metrics as long as the singular set is low-dimensional, with no other conditions on the singular set. More precisely, let $g$ be an asymptotically flat Lipschitz metric on a…
We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities with $p_g - g - b \le 2$. Here $p_g$ is the geometric genus, $g$ is the sum of the genera of the exceptional curves and $b$ is the first Betti number of the dual…
In this paper we introduce a new methodology for smooth rigidity of Anosov diffeomorphisms based on "matching functions." The main observation is that under certain bunching assumptions on the diffeomorphism the periodic cycle functionals…
Two flows on a finite-dimensional normed space $X$ are Lipschitz equivalent if some homeomorphism $h$ of $X$ that is bi-Lipschitz near the origin preserves all orbits, i.e., $h$ maps each orbit onto an orbit. A complete classification by…
We prove a Livsic type theorem for cocycles taking values in groups of diffeomorphisms of low-dimensional manifolds. The results hold without any localization assumption and in very low regularity. We also obtain a general result (in any…
This article considers the Lipschitz space with mixed logarithmic smoothness of $2\pi$ periodic functions of several variables. We obtain equivalent descriptions of the norm of the Lipschitz space and prove embedding theorems between Besov…
We show that quasiconformal maps on many Carnot groups must be biLipschitz. In particular, this is the case for 2-step Carnot groups with reducible first layer. These results have implications for the rigidity of quasiisometries between…
We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities of genus one, and also for those of genus two whose link is not a rational homology sphere. As an application, we characterize complex $2$-tori as the only normal…
Relative smoothness and strong convexity have recently gained considerable attention in optimization. These notions are generalizations of the classical Euclidean notions of smoothness and strong convexity that are known to be dual to each…
Spinal groups and multi-GGS groups are both generalisations of the well-known Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki (GGS-)groups. Here we give a necessary condition for spinal groups to be conjugate, and we establish a necessary and sufficient condition…
Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look…
In this paper, we study the structure of Lipschitz algebras under the notions of approximate biflatness and Johnson pseudo-contractibility. We show that for a compact metric space $X,$ the Lipschitz algebras $Lip_{\alpha}(X)$ and $\ell…
We present a series of examples of pairs of singular semialgebraic surfaces (real semialgebraic sets of dimension two) in ${\mathbb R}^3$ and ${\mathbb R}^4$ which are bi-Lipschitz equivalent with respect to the outer metric, ambient…
In this paper we investigate the relation betwen the Nash modification and the Bi-Lipschtiz equivalent germs in the cases of two germs and for a family of hypersurfaces with isolated singularities.
A matchbox manifold is a connected, compact foliated space with totally disconnected transversals; or in other notation, a generalized lamination. It is said to be Lipschitz if there exists a metric on its transversals for which the…
Isometric class of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3$ has the rigidity: if two simply connected minimal surfaces are isometric, then one of them is congruent to a surface in the specific one-parameter family, called…
Composite optimization problems, where the sum of a smooth and a merely lower semicontinuous function has to be minimized, are often tackled numerically by means of proximal gradient methods as soon as the lower semicontinuous part of the…
In this paper, we aim to investigate the synchronization problem of dynamical systems, which can be of generic linear or Lipschitz nonlinear type, communicating over directed switching network topologies. A mild connectivity assumption on…
We show that for every $k\ge 3$ there exist complex algebraic cones of dimension $k$ with isolated singularities, which are bi-Lipschitz and semi-algebraically equivalent but they have different degrees. We also prove that homeomorphic…
