Using the setting of $G$-metric spaces, common fixed point theorems for four maps satisfying the weakly commuting conditions are obtained for various generalized contractive conditions. Several examples are also presented to show the…

Does every one-ended $CAT(0)$ group have semistable fundamental group at infinity? As we write, this is an open question. Let $G$ be such a group acting geometrically on the proper $CAT(0)$ space $X$. In this paper we show that in order to…

A natural analogue of the Krein--Milman theorem is shown to fail for CAT(0) spaces.

We show a fixed-point property of random quotients by plain words for a wide class of CAT(0) spaces.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of (generalized) functions $\rho_1(\mathbf{r}_1)$ and $\rho_2(\mathbf{r}_1,\mathbf{r}_2)$, $\mathbf{r}_i\in X$, to be the density and pair correlations of some point process in a…

Here is a square problem: in a unit square, is there a point with four rational distances to the vertices? A probability argument suggests a negative answer. This paper proves several special cases of the square problem: if the point sits…

We examine algebraic conditions for the sectional positivity of the Riemann curvature operator. We describe sufficient conditions for dimension $n=4$, and complete characterization for a dense open subset of the space of operators in…

In this paper we obtain rigidity results for a bounded non-constant entire solution $u$ of the Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$, whose level set $\{u=0\}$ is contained in a half-space. If $n\leq 3$ we prove that the solution must be…

We show that generic kinetic growth processes with surface relaxations can exhibit a new crumpled phase with short-range orientational order at dimensions $d<4$. A sufficiently strong spatially non-local part of the chemical potential…

We establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for weighted Hardy inequalities in metric spaces in terms of Assouad (co)dimensions. Our sufficient conditions in the case where the complement is thin are new even in Euclidean spaces,…

We prove that for any function $f$ satisfying certain mild conditions and any Cantor set $K$ with Newhouse thickness greater than $1$, there exists $x\in K$ and $t>0$ such that \[ \{x-t,x,x+f(t)\}\subset K. \] This is an extension of…

We prove that all currently known examples of manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature satisfy a stronger condition: their curvature operator can be modified with a 4-form to become positive-semidefinite.

We prove that, under certain mild conditions, every cocompact CAT(0) space is almost geodesically complete.

We study minimum degree conditions that guarantee that an $n$-vertex graph is rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For small values of $d$, we obtain a tight bound: for $d = O(\sqrt{n})$, every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(n+d)/2 -…

Suppose the spaces X and X cross A have the same Lusternik-Schnirelmann category: cat(X cross A)= cat(X). Then there is a strict inequality cat(X cross (A halfsmash B)) < cat (X) + cat(A halfsmash B) for every space B, provided the…

A metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ is said to satisfy the strong annular decay condition if there is a constant $C>0$ such that $$ \mu\big(B(x,R)\setminus B(x,r)\big)\leq C\, \frac{R-r}{R}\, \mu (B(x,R)) $$ for each $x\in X$ and all $0<r…

We prove that for certain positive operators $T$, such as the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and fractional integrals, there is a constant $D>1$, depending only on the dimension $n$, such that the two weight norm inequality…

Let P be a set of n points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A point x is said to be a centerpoint of P if x is contained in every convex object that contains more than $dn\over d+1$ points of P. We call a point x a strong centerpoint for a family of…

Place the vertices of a rectangle at $\{(0, \pm 1/2), (a, \pm 1/2)\}$, where $a$ is rational. We show that if $v_3(a) = 0$, then any point $(x,y)$ that is rational distance from all four vertices of the rectangle has either $v_3(x) < 0$ or…

We give another proof of Toyoda's theorem that describes 5-point subpaces in CAT(0) length spaces
