We begin the study of completeness of affine connections, especially those on statistical manifolds as well as on affine hypersurfaces. We collect basic facts, prove new theorems and provide examples with remarkable properties.
We study complements of hypersurfaces in schemes with respect to the property being affine.
The area distance to a convex plane curve is an important concept in computer vision. In this paper we describe a strong link between area distances and improper affine spheres. This link makes possible a better understanding of both…
In this paper we will first introduce the notion of affine structures on a ringed space and then obtain several properties. Affine structures on a ringed space, arising mainly from complex analytical spaces of algebraic schemes over number…
Improper affine spheres have played an important role in the development of geometric methods for the study of the Hessian one equation. Here, we review most of the advances we have made in this direction during the last twenty years.
This is a survey of some of the recent developments in the theory of complex Monge-Ampere equations. The topics discussed include refinements and simplifications of classical a priori estimates, methods from pluripotential theory,…
Convex geometry has recently attracted great attention as a framework to formulate general probabilistic theories. In this framework, convex sets and affine maps represent the state spaces of physical systems and the possible dynamics,…
We introduce and study the equiaffine symmetric {\bf hyperspheres}. For the first step we consider the locally strongly convex ones. In fact, by the idea used by Naitoh, we provide in this paper a direct proof of the complete classification…
We discuss some research problems on affine monomial curves, from the perspective of computation.
A notion of heaps of modules as an affine version of modules over a ring or, more generally, over a truss, is introduced and studied. Basic properties of heaps of modules are derived. Examples arising from geometry (connections, affine…
This paper studies certain embedded spheres in closed affine manifolds. For $n \geq 3$, we investigate the dome bodies in a closed affine $n$-manifold $M$ with its boundary homeomorphic to a sphere under the assumption that a developing map…
This work surveys classical and recent advances around the existence of exotic differentiable structures on spheres and its connection to stable homotopy theory.
This is a survey article on symplectically aspherical manifolds. The paper contains a discussion on constructions of symplectically aspherical manifolds, their topological properties and the role of this class in symplectic topology.…
We develop the calculus of superforms as a tool for convex geometry. The formalism is applied to valuations on convex bodies, the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities and Monge- Amp\`ere equations on the boundary of convex bodies.
The goal of this survey article is to explain and elucidate the affine structure of recent models appearing in the rough volatility literature, and show how it leads to exponential-affine transform formulas.
This is a survey of the inverse spectral problem on (mainly compact) Riemannian manifolds, with or without boundary. The emphasis is on wave invariants: on how wave invariants have been calculated and how they have been applied to concrete…
We study the real Monge-Amp\`ere equation in two and three dimensions, both from the point of view of the SYZ conjecture, where solutions give rise to semi-flat Calabi-Yau's and in affine differential geometry, where solutions yield…
In this paper, we give a survey of various sphere theorems in geometry. These include the topological sphere theorem of Berger and Klingenberg as well as the differentiable version obtained by the authors. These theorems employ a variety of…
This monograph is on convex real projective structures on strongly tame n-orbifolds with some appropriate conditions on ends.
We describe some natural relations connecting contact geometry, classical Monge-Ampere equations and theory of singularities of solutions to nonlinear PDEs. They reveal the hidden meaning of Monge-Ampere equations and sheds new light on…
