Let $\Omega$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space. We show that any local $\mathbb{C}$-linear map (where "local" is a weaker notion than $C_0(\Omega)$-linearity) between Banach $C_0(\Omega)$-modules are "nearly $C_0(\Omega)$-linear" and…

It is shown that a contraction on a Hilbert space is complex symmetric if and only if the values of its characteristic function are all symmetric with respect to a fixed conjugation. Applications are given to the description of complex…

The hot spots conjecture asserts that for any convex bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb R^d$, the first non-trivial Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace operator in $\Omega$ attains its maximum at the boundary. We construct counterexamples…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for convexity and strong convexity, respectively, of sublevel sets that are defined by finitely many real-valued $C^{1,1}$-maps are presented. A novel characterization of strongly convex sets in terms of…

We prove some results concerning the boundary of a convex set in $\H^n$. This includes the convergence of curvature measures under Hausdorff convergence of the sets, the study of normal points, and, for convex surfaces, a generalized Gauss…

A property of smooth convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is that if two points on the boundary $x, y \in \partial \Omega$ are close to each other, then their normal vectors $n(x), n(y)$ point roughly in the same direction and this…

We provide the definition and fundamental properties of algebraic elements with respect to an operator satisfying hypothesis (h). Furthermore, we analyze Hilbert modules using C_0-operators relative to a bounded finitely connected region…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with Lipschitz boundary or a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\phi\in C(\overline{\Omega})$ such that $H_{\phi}$ is compact on $A^2(\Omega)$. Then $\phi\circ f$ is…

The moduli space of convex projective structures on a simplicial hyperbolic Coxeter orbifold is either a point or the real line. Answering a question of M. Crampon, we prove that in the latter case, when one goes to infinity in the moduli…

In this paper, we prove a local rigidity of convex hypersurfaces in the spaces of constant curvature of dimension $n\ge4$. Namely, we show that two convex isometric hypersurfaces are congruent locally around their corresponding under the…

A generalization of the Lebesgue number lemma is obtained. It is proved that, if each countably infinite locally finite open cover of a chainable metric space $X$ has a Lebesgue number, then $X$ is totally bounded. A property of metric…

In this paper we consider the following question: For bounded domains with smooth boundary, can strong pseudoconvexity be characterized in terms of the intrinsic complex geometry of the domain? Our approach to answering this question is…

We interpret the Hilbert entropy of a convex projective structure on a closed higher-genus surface as the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability points of the limit set in the full flag space $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^3)$.…

The present paper is concerned with Lipschitz properties of convex mappings. One considers the general context of mappings defined on an open convex subset $\Omega$ of a locally convex space $X$ and taking values in a locally convex space…
