We provide a systematic description of the automorphism groups of specially cocompact CAT(0) cube complexes. We show that these groups are topologically finitely generated, present a method to explicitly obtain generating sets, and prove a…
We give a proof to the following theorem, which is well-known among experts: A connected subcomplex $W$ of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cubed complex $X$ is convex if and only if Lk$(v, W)$ is a full subcomplex of Lk$(v, X)$ for every vertex…
This article deals with the set of closed geodesics on complete finite type hyperbolic surfaces. For any non-negative integer $k$, we consider the set of closed geodesics that self-intersect at least $k$ times, and investigate those of…
Geometric computing with chain complexes allows for the computation of the whole chain of linear spaces and (co)boundary operators generated by a space decomposition into a cell complex. The space decomposition is stored and handled with…
We introduce hybrid classical-quantum algorithms for problems involving a large classical data set X and a space of models Y such that a quantum computer has superposition access to Y but not X. These algorithms use data reduction…
The class of quasi-median graphs is a generalisation of median graphs, or equivalently of CAT(0) cube complexes. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce these graphs in geometric group theory. In the first part of our work, we extend the…
We prove a logarithm law-type result for the spiraling of geodesics around certain types of compact subsets (e.g. quotients of periodic Morse flats) in quotients of rank one CAT(0) spaces.
A noncommutative algebra corresponding to the classical catenoid is introduced together with a differential calculus of derivations. We prove that there exists a unique metric and torsion-free connection that is compatible with the complex…
Algorithms for the computation of the real zeros of hypergeometric functions which are solutions of second order ODEs are described. The algorithms are based on global fixed point iterations which apply to families of functions satisfying…
The geometric quantization of the geodesic flow on a compact Riemannian manifold via the BKS "dragging projection" yields the Laplacian plus a scalar curvature term. To avoid convergence issues, the standard construction involves somewhat…
A convenient approach to analyze spatial infinity is to use a cylinder representation $I$ and impose a gauge based on a congruence of conformal geodesics. This so-called conformal Gauss gauge comes along with the freedom to specify initial…
We introduce the geodesic complexity of a metric space, inspired by the topological complexity of a topological space. Both of them are numerical invariants, but, while the TC only depends on the homotopy type, the GC is an invariant under…
We discuss whether it is possible to reconstruct a metric by its unparameterized geodesics, and how to do it effectively. We explain why this problem is interesting for general relativity. We show how to understand whether all curves from a…
Given a space it is easy to obtain the system of geodesic equations on it. In this paper the inverse problem of reconstructing the space from the geodesic equations is addressed. A procedure is developed for obtaining the metric tensor from…
The orthoscheme complex of a graded poset is a metrization of its order complex such that the simplex of each maximal chain is isometric to the Euclidean simplex of vertices $0, e_1,e_1+e_2,\ldots, e_1+e_2+ \cdots + e_n$. This notion was…
Topological defects play a fundamental role in the investigation of symmetries in quantum field theories. For conformal field theories in two space-time dimensions, it is possible to construct these defects using lattice models allowing…
The geometric concept of geodesic completeness depends on the choice of the metric field or "metric frame". We develop a frame-invariant concept of "generalised geodesic completeness" or "time completeness". It is based on the notion of…
Lattice models or structures are geometrical objects with mathematical forms, that are used to represent physical systems. They have been used widely in diverse fields, namely, in condensed matter physics, to study degrees of freedom of…
We study the relation between quantum computational complexity and general relativity. The quantum computational complexity is proposed to be quantified by the shortest length of geodesic quantum curves. We examine the complexity/volume…
Different approaches are compared to formulation of quantum mechanics of a particle on the curved spaces. At first, the canonical, quasi-classical and path integration formalisms are considered for quantization of geodesic motion on the…
