Condensed mathematics as developed by Clausen and Scholze yields a version of derived functors over the category of continuous $G$-modules for a Hausdorff topological group $G$. We study the resulting notion of group cohomology and its…

In the setting of step two Carnot groups, we show a "cone property" for horizontally convex sets. Namely we prove that, given a horizontally convex set $C$, a pair of points $P\in \partial C$ and $Q\in $ int $C$, both belonging to a…

In this paper, we study classes of discrete convex functions: submodular functions on modular semilattices and L-convex functions on oriented modular graphs. They were introduced by the author in complexity classification of minimum…

We establish a new notion of tropical convexity for signed tropical numbers. We provide several equivalent descriptions involving balance relations and intersections of open halfspaces as well as the image of a union of polytopes over…

In this article, we show some density properties of smooth and compactly supported functions in fractional Musielak-Sobolev spaces essentially extending the results of Fiscella, Servadei, and Valdinoci obtained in the fractional Sobolev…

In this work, we introduce a combinatorial-geometric model for the space of discrete Morse functions on any CW complex $X$. We relate this version of a space of discrete Morse functions to the space of cellular filtrations of $X$ and…

For a class of discrete quasi convex functions called semi-strictly quasi M$^\natural$-convex functions, we investigate fundamental issues relating to minimization, such as optimality condition by local optimality, minimizer cut property,…

This paper reviews a class of univariate piecewise polynomial functions known as discrete splines, which share properties analogous to the better-known class of spline functions, but where continuity in derivatives is replaced by (a…

This paper is about the technique of {\em shadow variables} that was used in the theory of monotone operators. In this paper, we use it to show that certain results that were originally proved for lower semicontinuous convex functions are…

We describe the implementation of a subfield of the field of formal Puiseux series in polymake. This is employed for solving linear programs and computing convex hulls depending on a real parameter. Moreover, this approach is also useful…

Weighted Hurwitz numbers arise as coefficients in the power sum expansion of deformed hypergeometric $\tau$--functions. They specialise to essentially all known cases of Hurwitz numbers, including classical, monotone, strictly monotone and…

We introduce the homogeneous and piecewise multilinear extensions and the eigenvalue problem for locally Lipschitz function pairs, in order to develop a systematic framework for relating discrete and continuous min-max problems. This also…

A novel basis of discrete analytic polynomials on a rhombic lattice is introduced and the associated convolution product is studied. A class of discrete analytic functions that are rational with respect to this product is also described.

Using the work of Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams we associate an invariant to any topologically trivial family of smooth h-cobordisms. This invariant is called the smooth structure class, and is closely related to the higher Franz--Reidemeister…
