We extend some theorems for the Infinity-Ground State and for the Infinity-Potential, known for convex polygons, to other domains in the plane, by applying Alexandroff's method to the curved boundary. A recent explicit solution disproves a…

We show how one can do algebraic geometry with respect to the category of simplicial objects in an exact category. As a biproduct, we get a theory of derived analytic geometry.

In this paper, we first investigate weighted Minkowski type inequalities for nearly spherical sets in space forms, focusing on the sets that are $C^1$-close to geodesic spheres. Our results generalize the work of \cite{G22} by incorporating…

In this paper we discuss three distance functions on the set of convex bodies. In particular we study the convergence of Delzant polytopes, which are fundamental objects in symplectic toric geometry. By using these observations, we derive…

Extension of symplectic geometry on manifolds to the supersymmetric case is considered. In the even case it leads to the even symplectic geometry (or, equivalently, to the geometry on supermanifolds endowed with a non-degenerate Poisson…

A simple method is proposed for deforming $A_\infty$-algebras by means of the resolution technique. The method is then applied to the associative algebras of polynomial functions on quantum superspaces. Specifically, by introducing suitable…
