A discretisation scheme that preserves topological features of a physical problem is extended so that differential geometric structures can be approximated in a consistent way thus giving access to the study of physical systems which are…
We consider elastic flows of closed curves in Euclidean space. We obtain optimal energy thresholds below which elastic flows preserve embeddedness of initial curves for all time. The obtained thresholds take different values between…
As a step towards establishing homotopy-theoretic foundations for topological data analysis (TDA), we introduce and study homotopy interleavings between filtered topological spaces. These are homotopy-invariant analogues of interleavings,…
Fix a compact $M \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and $r>0$. A minimizer of the maximal distance functional is a connected set $\Sigma$ of the minimal length, such that \[ max_{y \in M} dist(y,\Sigma) \leq r. \] The problem of finding maximal distance…
Measuring similarities/dissimilarities between atomic structures is important for the exploration of potential energy landscapes. However, the cell vectors together with the coordinates of the atoms, which are generally used to describe…
Pseudo-harmonic morphisms give rise on the domain space to a distribution which admits an almost complex structure compatible with the given Riemannian metric. We shall show that this property, together with the harmonicity, are preserved…
We study the problem of computing Chamfer distance in the fully dynamic setting, where two set of points $A, B \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$, each of size up to $n$, dynamically evolve through point insertions or deletions and the goal is to…
We initiate the study of computing shortest non-separating simple closed curves with some given topological properties on non-orientable surfaces. While, for orientable surfaces, any two non-separating simple closed curves are related by a…
We study the problem of computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves under transformations. First, we consider translations in the Euclidean plane. Given two curves $\pi$ and $\sigma$ of total complexity $n$ and a threshold…
The most studied and accepted pseudometric for probabilistic processes is one based on the Kantorovich distance between distributions. It comes with many theoretical and motivating results, in particular it is the fixpoint of a given…
Continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) provide a valuable model for quantum transport, universal quantum computation and quantum spatial search, among others. Recently, the empowering role of new degrees of freedom in the Hamiltonian…
One of the main problems of the theory of dynamical systems is the determination of the existence of periodic orbits of a self-map and more generally, the structure of the set of periods. Define the minimum period of a class os self-maps of…
This paper presents an overview of recent developments in the analysis of shapes such as curves and surfaces through Riemannian metrics. We show that several constructions of metrics on spaces of submanifolds can be unified through the…
The goal of this paper is to clarify when the solutions to stochastic partial differential equations stay close to a given subset of the state space for starting points which are close as well. This includes results for deterministic…
: In studies of discrete structures, functions are frequently used that express proximity, but are not metrics. We consider a class of such functions that is characterized by a normalization condition and an inequality that plays the same…
Several extensions of the classical optimal transport distances to the quantum setting have been proposed. In this paper, we investigate the pseudometrics introduced by Golse, Mouhot and Paul in [Commun Math Phys 343:165-205, 2016] and by…
In this paper, we give an estimate of sub-Laplacian of Riemannian distance functions in pseudo-Hermitian geometry which plays a similar role as Laplacian comparison theorem in Riemannian geometry, and deduce a prior horizontal gradient…
We discuss topological versions of the closed graph theorem, where continuity is inferred from near continuity in tandem with suitable conditions on source or target spaces. We seek internal characterizations of spaces satisfying a closed…
We consider several natural sets of curves associated to a given Teichm\"uller disc, such as the systole set or cylinder set, and study their coarse geometry inside the curve graph. We prove that these sets are quasiconvex and agree up to…
We explore the interplay between different definitions of distortion for mappings $f\colon X\to \mathbb{R}^2$, where $X$ is any metric surface, meaning that $X$ is homeomorphic to a domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and has locally finite…
