We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…

In this paper we introduce an algorithm of construction of cyclic space-filling curves. One particular construction provides a family of space-filling curves in all dimensions (H-curves). They are compared here with the Hilbert curve in the…

Since persistence diagrams do not admit an inner product structure, a map into a Hilbert space is needed in order to use kernel methods. It is natural to ask if such maps necessarily distort the metric on persistence diagrams. We show that…

Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially…

The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) is a problem in the theory of tracial von Neumann algebras and asks whether or not every tracial von Neumann algebra embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. The CEP has had interactions…

In this paper we show that every bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space H has a closed non-trivial invariant subspace.

We first generalize the results of Le\'on and M\"uller [Studia Math. 175(1) 2006] on hypercyclic subspaces to sequences of operators on Fr\'echet spaces with a continuous norm. Then we study the particular case of iterates of an operator T…

In the first part, we give a self contained introduction to the theory of cyclic systems in n-dimensional space which can be considered as immersions into certain Grassmannians. We show how the (metric) geometries on spaces of constant…

We develop a Hilbert space framework for a number of general multi-scale problems from dynamics. The aim is to identify a spectral theory for a class of systems based on iterations of a non-invertible endomorphism. We are motivated by the…

We construct a minimal dynamical system of mean dimension equal to $1$, which can be embedded in the shift action on the Hilbert cube $[0,1]^\mathbb{Z}$. This clarifies a seemingly plausible impression about embedding possibility in…

The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) asks whether every separable II_1 factor embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II_1 factor. We show that the CEP is equivalent to the computability of the universal theory of every type II_1 von…

Let $X$ be a separable nonquasireflexive Banach space. Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to a subspace of $X^*$. The paper is devoted to the following questions: 1. Under what conditions does there exist an isomorphic embedding $T:Y\to…

Consider the quotient of a Hilbert space by a subgroup of its automorphisms. We study whether this orbit space can be embedded into a Hilbert space by a bilipschitz map, and we identify constraints on such embeddings.

Locally symmetric spaces like $SL(n,\mathbb Z)\backslash SL_n(\mathbb R)/SO(n)$ contain immersed compact flat manifolds of dimension equal to the real rank. We give a lower bound for the contribution of these cycles to the homology of…

Let $M\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a properly embedded, connected, complete surface with boundary a convex planar curve $C$, satisfying an elliptic equation $H=f(H^2-K)$, where $H$ and $K$ are the mean and the Gauss curvature respectively -…

Motivated by the existence of cyclic phenomena in which some characteristics are mapped into corresponding ones over more than one phase, we introduce the $r$-cyclic operators with respect to a covering of a metric space and investigate…

The wandering subspace problem for an analytic norm-increasing $m$-isometry $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ asks whether every $T$-invariant subspace of $\mathcal H$ can be generated by a wandering subspace. An affirmative solution to…

It is shown that if a $T_2$ topological space $X$ contains a closed uncountable discrete subspace, then the spaces $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega}$ and $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega_1}$ embed into $(CL(X),\tau_F)$, the hyperspace of nonempty closed…

This paper is devoted to the study of quotients of finite metric spaces. The basic type of question we ask is: Given a finite metric space M, what is the largest quotient of (a subset of) M which well embeds into Hilbert space. We obtain…
