We extend the structure theory of Burago--Gromov--Perelman for Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below, to the setting of Busemann spaces with non-negative curvature. We prove that any finite-dimensional Busemann space with…

In 2014, Gromov vaguely conjectured that a sequence of manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature should have a subsequence which converges in some weak sense to a limit space with some generalized notion of nonnegative scalar curvature.…

In this work, we investigate compact K\"ahler manifolds with non-negative or quasi-positive mixed curvature coming from a linear combination of the Ricci and holomorphic sectional curvature, which covers various notions of curvature…

The concept of a profile decomposition formalizes concentration compactness arguments on the functional-analytic level, providing a powerful refinement of the Banach-Alaoglu weak-star compactness theorem. We prove existence of profile…

Geodesic contraction in vector-valued differential equations is readily verified by linearized operators which are uniformly negative-definite in the Riemannian metric. In the infinite-dimensional setting, however, such analysis is…

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…

We investigate the quotients of Banach manifolds with respect to free actions of pseudogroups of local diffeomorphisms. These quotient spaces are called H-manifolds since the corresponding simply transitive action of the pseudogroup on its…

The manifold structure of subsets of classical probability distributions and quantum density operators in infinite dimensions is investigated in the context of $C^{*}$-algebras and actions of Banach-Lie groups. Specificaly, classical…

We show a few fixed point theorems for semigroups acting on weakly compact convex subsets of Banach spaces when $LUC(S), AP(S), WAP(S)$ or $WAP(S)\cap LUC(S)$ have a left invariant mean. In particular, we give a characterization of…

In this paper we study fixed point properties for semitopological semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space. We also study a Schauder fixed point property for a semitopological semigroup of…

It is shown that convex hypersurfaces in Hilbert spaces have nonnegative Alexandrov curvature. This extends an earlier result of Buyalo for convex hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds of finite dimension.

We introduce and investigate the notion of (strong) $K^n_G$-manifolds, where $G$ is an abelian group. One of the result related to that notion (Theorem 3.4) implies the following partial answer to the Bing-Borsuk problem \cite{bb}, whether…

Half Lie groups exist only in infinite dimensions: They are smooth manifolds and topological groups such that right translations are smooth, but left translations are merely required to be continuous. The main examples are groups of $H^s$…

We show that any compact half-conformally flat manifold of negative type, with bounded $L^2$ energy, sufficiently small scalar curvature, and a non-collapsing assumption, has all betti numbers bounded. We show that this result is optimal…
