In this article, we examine the behavior of the Riemannian and Hermitian curvature tensors of a Hermitian metric, when one of the curvature tensors obeys all the symmetry conditions of the curvature tensor of a K\"ahler metric. We will call…

One of the most widely used methods for eigenvalue computation is the $QR$ iteration with Wilkinson's shift: here the shift $s$ is the eigenvalue of the bottom $2\times 2$ principal minor closest to the corner entry. It has been a…

Iterative algorithms are fundamental tools for approximating fixed-points of nonexpansive operators in real Hilbert spaces. Among them, Krasnosel'ski\u{\i}--Mann iteration and Halpern iteration are two widely used schemes. In this work, we…

Tiling spaces are constructed using a metric in which two tilings of $\mathbb{R}^n$ are close if and only if, after a small translation, they agree on a large ball around the origin. We construct analogous spaces to study random…

This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…

The Newman-Penrose-Perjes formalism is applied to smooth contact structures on riemannian 3-manifolds. In particular it is shown that a contact 3-manifold admits an adapted riemannian metric if and only if it admits a metric with a…

We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

When considered as submanifolds of Euclidean space, the Riemannian geometry of the round sphere and the Clifford torus may be formulated in terms of Poisson algebraic expressions involving the embedding coordinates, and a central object is…

We introduce a compactification of the space of simple positive divisors on a Riemann surface, as well as a compactification of the universal family of punctured surfaces above this space. These are real manifolds with corners. We then…

In this paper, we establish sublinear and linear convergence of fixed point iterations generated by averaged operators in a Hilbert space. Our results are achieved under a bounded H\"older regularity assumption which generalizes the…

I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the computation of correlation functions, which give explicit…

Motivated by the existence of cyclic phenomena in which some characteristics are mapped into corresponding ones over more than one phase, we introduce the $r$-cyclic operators with respect to a covering of a metric space and investigate…

In this note we verify certain statement about the operator $Q\_K$ constructed by Donaldson in [3] by using the full asymptotic expansion of Bergman kernel obtained in [2] and [4].

We prove an estimate for Donaldson's $Q$-operator on a prequantized compact symplectic manifold. This estimate is an ingredient in the recent result of Keller and Lejmi about a symplectic generalization of Donaldson's lower bound for the…

We propose a covariant definition of an inertia tensor on spatial hypersurfaces in general relativity, constructed via integrals of geodesic distance functions using the exponential map. In the ADM 3+1 decomposition, we consider a spacelike…

Using works of T.~Ando and L.~Gurvits, the well-known theorem of P.R.~Halmos concerning the existence of unitary dilations for contractive linear operators acting on Hilbert spaces recast as a result for $d$-tuples of contractive Hilbert…

We describe how to approximate the Riemann curvature tensor as well as sectional curvatures on possibly infinite-dimensional shape spaces that can be thought of as Riemannian manifolds. To this end, we extend the variational time…

In this paper we review some results on the Riemannian and almost Hermitian geometry of twistor spaces of oriented Riemannian $4$-manifolds with emphasis on their curvature properties.

The DT-operators are introduced, one for every pair (\mu,c) consisting of a compactly supported Borel probability measure \mu on the complex plane and a constant c>0. These are operators on Hilbert space that are defined as limits in…

We adopt an operator-theoretic perspective to study convergence of linear fixed-point iterations and discrete- time linear systems. We mainly focus on the so-called Krasnoselskij-Mann iteration x(k+1) = ( 1 - \alpha(k) ) x(k) + \alpha(k) A…
