We give a criterion when a planar tree-like curve, i.e. a generic immersed plane curve each double point of which cuts it into two disjoint parts, can be send by a diffeomorphism of the plane onto a curve with no inflection points. We also…

We study tree metrics that can be realized as a mixture of two star tree metrics. We prove that the only trees admitting such a decomposition are the ones coming from a tree with at most one internal edge, and whose weight satisfies certain…

We first consider interval partitions whose complements are Lebesgue-null and introduce a complete metric that induces the same topology as the Hausdorff distance (between complements). This is done using correspondences between intervals.…

Topological phylogenetic trees can be assigned edge weights in several natural ways, highlighting different aspects of the tree. Here the rooted triple and quartet metrizations are introduced, and applied to formulate novel fast methods of…

Due to \v{C}encov's theorem, there exists a unique family of invariant symmetric $(0,2)$-tensor fields on the space of positive probability measures on a set of $n$-points indexed by $n\in \mathbb{N}$ under Markov embeddings. We deform…

For a fixed $K\gg 1$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\gg 1$, we study metric spaces which admit embeddings with distortion $\le K$ into each $n$-dimensional Banach space. Classical examples include spaces embeddable into $\log n$-dimensional…

A general fixed point theorem for isometries in terms of metric functionals is proved under the assumption of the existence of a conical bicombing. It is new even for isometries of Banach spaces as well as for non-locally compact…

Suppose that a metric space $X$ is the union of two metric subspaces $A$ and $B$ that embed into Euclidean space with distortions $D_A$ and $D_B$, respectively. We prove that then $X$ embeds into Euclidean space with a bounded distortion…

In 2021 Baudier, Motakis, Schlumprecht, and Zs\'ak proved that if a sequence of graphs $(G_k)_{k\in{\mathbb{N}}}$ contains the sequence of complete graphs with uniformly bounded distortion, then the sequence of lamplighter graphs on $G_k$'s…

With the algebraic trees, L\"ohr and Winter (2021) introduced a generalization of the notion of graph-theoretic trees to account for potentially uncountable structures. The tree structure is given by the map which assigns to each triple of…

In this article, Temperley's bijection between spanning trees of the square grid on the one hand, and perfect matchings (also known as dimer coverings) of the square grid on the other, is extended to the setting of general planar directed…

We introduce a notion of coarse embedding at infinity into Hilbert space for metric spaces, which is a weakening of the notion of fibred coarse embedding and a far generalization of Gromov's concept of coarse embedding. It turns out that a…

We show that a map with H\"older exponent bigger than $1/2$ from a quasi-convex metric space with vanishing first Lipschitz homology into the Sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group factors through a tree. In particular, if the domain contains a…

A new method of verifying the subnormality of unbounded Hilbert space operators based on an approximation technique is proposed. Diverse sufficient conditions for subnormality of unbounded weighted shifts on directed trees are established.…

In [Aldous,Pitman,1998] a tree-valued Markov chain is derived by pruning off more and more subtrees along the edges of a Galton-Watson tree. More recently, in [Abraham,Delmas,2012], a continuous analogue of the tree-valued pruning dynamics…

We study distorted metrics on binary trees in the context of phylogenetic reconstruction. Given a binary tree $T$ on $n$ leaves with a path metric $d$, consider the pairwise distances $\{d(u,v)\}$ between leaves. It is well known that these…

We study a class of design problems in solid mechanics, leading to a variation on the classical question of equi-dimensional embeddability of Riemannian manifolds. In this general new context, we derive a necessary and sufficient existence…

We prove that if a metric space $X$ has Nagata dimension zero with constant $c$, then there exists a dense subset of $X$ that is $8c$-bilipschitz equivalent to a weighted tree. The factor $8$ is the best possible if $c=1$, that is, if $X$…

We answer three questions posed by Bubeck and Linial on the limit densities of subtrees in trees. We prove there exist positive $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ such that every tree that is neither a path nor a star has inducibility at…

We show that there exists a quasi-isometric embedding of the product of $n$ copies of $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb{R}}^2$ into any symmetric space of non-compact type of rank $n$, and there exists a bi-Lipschitz embedding of the product of $n$…
