We seek for an alternative to the metric tensor $g_{\mu\nu}$ as a fundamental geometrical object in four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We suggest that the metric tensor $g_{\mu\nu}(P)$ at a given point $P$ of a manifold may be replaced…

We consider generalized metric spaces taking distances in an arbitrary ordered commutative monoid, and investigate when a class $\mathcal{K}$ of finite generalized metric spaces satisfies the Hrushovski extension property: for any…

The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…

Recent studies propose enhancing machine learning models by aligning the geometric characteristics of the latent space with the underlying data structure. Instead of relying solely on Euclidean space, researchers have suggested using…

The moduli space of isometry classes of Riemannian structures on a smooth manifold was emphasized by J.A.Wheeler in his superspace formalism of quantum gravity. A natural question concerning it is: What is a natural topology on such moduli…

Let $q,d\geq 2$ be integers. Define $$ J(q,d):=\frac 1q \Big( \min_{0<x<1} \frac{1-x^q}{1-x} x^{-\frac{q-1}{d}}\Big). $$ Let $\mbox{$\cal G$}\subseteq {\mathbb R}^n$ be an arbitrary subset. We denote by $d(\mbox{$\cal G$})$ the set of…

The box-ball system (BBS) is a simple model of soliton interaction introduced by Takahashi and Satsuma in the 1990s. Recent work of the authors, together with Tsuyoshi Kato and Satoshi Tsujimoto, derived various families of invariant…

According to Kiyoshi Igusa a generalized Morse function on an n-dimensional manifold M is a smooth function with only Morse and birth-death singularities and a framed function is a generalized Morse function with an additional structure: a…

We study the regularity of the distance function to the boundary of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with respect to the Minkowski functional of a convex polytope. We obtain the regularity of the distance function in certain cases. We also…

In the present paper a distinguishability of bounded metric spaces by the set of the Gromov--Hausdorff distances to so-called simplexes (metric spaces with unique non-zero distance) is investigated. It is easy to construct an example of…

A new homological dimension, called the Igusa-Todorov distance, is introduced to measure how far an Artin algebra is from being an Igusa-Todorov algebra. An upper bound for the dimension is established in terms of the Loewy length, leading…

In early 80's M.Gromov showed that there exists a constant $\epsilon$ such that any compact Riemannian manifold $M^n$ with $|K|_{M^n} \cdot diam^2(M^n) \leq \epsilon$ can be finitely covered by a nilmanifold. The present paper illustrates…

Given two polygonal curves in the plane, there are many ways to define a notion of similarity between them. One popular measure is the Fr\'echet distance. Since it was proposed by Alt and Godau in 1992, many variants and extensions have…
