Related papers: A coarse invariant for all metric spaces

It is well known that in a generally covariant gravitational theory the choice of spacetime scalars as coordinates yields phase-space observables (or "invariants"). However their relation to the symmetry group of diffeomorphism…

We consider homogeneous spaces of Lie groups with compact stabilizer subgroups of two types: those with integrable invariant distributions and those with geodesic orbit invariant Riemannian metrics. The latter means that for an arbitrary…

Let $(M^m,g)$ be an $m$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold with non-negative sectional curvatures, $m\ge 3$. We define a conformal invariant and prove that, if the conformal invariant is bounded from above by a constant depending only…

The space of $G$-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space $G/H$ is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of inner products on the tangent space $\fr{m}\cong T_{{\it o}}(G/H)$, which are invariant under the isotropy representation. When…

We introduce the notion of coarse metric. Every coarse metric induces a coarse structure on the underlying set. Conversely, we observe that all coarse spaces come from a particular type of coarse metric in a unique way. In the case when the…

We consider an involutive automorphism of the conformal algebra and the resulting symmetric space. We display a new action of the conformal group which gives rise to this space. The space has an intrinsic symplectic structure, a…

It is shown that any transverse invariant measure of a foliated space can be considered as a measure on the ambient space.

We provide examples of homogeneous spaces which are neither symmetric spaces nor real cohomology spheres, yet have the property that every invariant metric is geometrically formal. We also extend the known obstructions to geometric…

This paper presents a new version of boundary on coarse spaces. The space of ends functor maps coarse metric spaces to uniform topological spaces and coarse maps to uniformly continuous maps.

We investigate properties which remain invariant under the action of quasi-M\"obius maps of quasi-metric spaces. A metric space is called doubling with constant D if every ball of finite radius can be covered by at most D balls of half the…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold equipped with a conformal structure, $E[w]$ the space of densities with the the conformal weight $w$ and $D_{w,w+\de}$ the space of differential operators from $E[w]$ to $E[w+\delta]$. Conformal quantization $Q$…

A finitely-additive measure $\lambda $ on an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space $E$ which is invariant with respect to shifts and orthogonal mappings has been defined. This measure can be considered as the analog of the Lebesgue…

Magnitude is a real-valued invariant of metric spaces, analogous to the Euler characteristic of topological spaces and the cardinality of sets. The definition of magnitude is a special case of a general categorical definition that clarifies…

It is often inevitable to introduce an indefinite-metric space in quantum field theory, for example, which is explained for the sake of the manifestly covariant quantization of the electromagnetic field. We show two more evident…

Let M be a complete metric space. It is proved that if the space or scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on M admits an isometric shift, then M is separable.

We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. These…

In this manuscript, a conformally invariant theory of gravitation in the context of metric measure space is studied. The proposed action is invariant under both diffeomorphism and conformal transformations. Using the variational method, a…

We define an invariant for compact spin manifolds $X$ of dimension $4k$ equipped with a metric $h$ of positive Yamabe invariant on its boundary. The vanishing of this invariant is a necessary condition for the conformal class of $h$ to be…

A classical set of birational invariants of a variety are its spaces of pluricanonical forms and some of their canonically defined subspaces. Each of these vector spaces admits a typical metric structure which is also birationally…

The paper introduces cycles cross ratio, which extends the classic cross ratio of four points to various settings: conformal geometry, Lie spheres geometry, etc. Just like its classic counterpart cycles cross ratio is a measure of…
