A marked metric measure space (mmm-space) is a triple (X,r,mu), where (X,r) is a complete and separable metric space and mu is a probability measure on XxI for some Polish space I of possible marks. We study the space of all (equivalence…

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space with $|X|=n$. For a positive integer $k$ we define $A_k(X)$ to be the quotient set of all $k$-subsets of $X$ by isometry, and we denote $|A_k(X)|$ by $a_k$. The sequence $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n})$ is…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…

We define two classes of topological infinite degree covering maps modeled on two families of transcendental holomorphic maps. The first, which we call exponential maps of type $(p,q)$, are branched covers and is modeled on transcendental…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

We construct a category that classifies compact Hausdorff spaces by their shape and finite topological spaces by their weak homotopy type.

Signed graphs have their edges labeled either as positive or negative. Here we introduce two types of signed distance matrix for signed graphs. We characterize balance in signed graphs using these matrices and we obtain explicit formulae…

We describe the canonical correspondence between set of all finite metric spaces and set of special symmetric convex polytopes, and formulate the problem about classification of the metric spaces in terms of combinatorial structure of those…

Let $S_{g,n}$ be an orientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. We identify a finite rigid subgraph $X_{g,n}$ of the pants graph $\mathcal P (S_{g,n})$, that is, a subgraph with the property that any simplicial embedding of…

An infinite-type surface $\Sigma$ is of type $\mathcal{S}$ if it has an isolated puncture $p$ and admits shift maps. This includes all infinite-type surfaces with an isolated puncture outside of two sporadic classes. Given such a surface,…

By a finite type-graph we mean a graph whose set of vertices is the set of all $k$-subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ for some integers $n\ge k\ge 1$, and in which two such sets are adjacent if and only if they realise a certain order type…

It is known that the space of boundedly finite integer-valued measures on a complete separable metric space becomes itself a complete separable metric space when endowed with the weak-hash metric. It is also known that convergence under…

For a self--adjoint Laplace operator on a finite, not necessarily compact, metric graph lower and upper bounds on each of the negative eigenvalues are derived. For compact finite metric graphs Poincar\'{e} type inequalities are given.

For a graph $G$ with $p$ vertices the closed convex cone $\mathbb{S}^p_{\succeq0}(G)$ consists of all real positive semidefinite $p\times p$ matrices with zeros in the off-diagonal entries corresponding to nonedges of $G$. The extremal rays…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by $I(mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y)$, and set $M(X) = \sup…

A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…

Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a finite simple graph. A matching $M \subseteq E$ is positive if there exists a weight function on $V$ such that the matching $M$ is characterized by those edges with positive weights. A positive matching decomposition…

Non-positive at infinity valuations are a class of real plane valuations which have a nice geometrical behavior. They are divided in three types. We study the dual graphs of non-positive at infinity valuations and give an algorithm for…

For a separable rearrangement invariant space $X$ on $[0,1]$ of fundamental type we identify the set of all $p\in [1,\infty]$ such that $\ell^p$ is finitely represented in $X$ in such a way that the unit basis vectors of $\ell^p$ ($c_0$ if…

A vertex set $U \subseteq V$ of an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $\textit{resolving set}$ for $G$, if for every two distinct vertices $u,v \in V$ there is a vertex $w \in U$ such that the distances between $u$ and $w$ and the distance…
