We study the extremality of nonexpansive mappings on a nonempty bounded closed and convex subset of a normed space (therein specific Banach spaces). We show that surjective isometries are extremal in this sense for many Banach spaces,…

Let $\H= < a,b | a[a,b]=[a,b]a \wedge b[a,b]=[a,b]b>$ be the discrete Heisenberg group, equipped with the left-invariant word metric $d_W(\cdot,\cdot)$ associated to the generating set ${a,b,a^{-1},b^{-1}}$. Letting $B_n= {x\in \H:…

In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…

We prove a version of the implicit function theorem for Lipschitz mappings $f:\mathbb{R}^{n+m}\supset A \to X$ into arbitrary metric spaces. As long as the pull-back of the Hausdorff content $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}^n$ by $f$ has positive…

This paper deals with the extension of a classical theorem by R. Phelps on the G\^ateaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions on separable Banach spaces to the non-separable case. The extension of the theorem is not possible for general…

We show that compact Riemannian manifolds, regarded as metric spaces with their global geodesic distance, cannot contain a number of rigid structures such as (a) arbitrarily large regular simplices or (b) arbitrarily long sequences of…

We investigate how coarse embeddability of box spaces into Hilbert space behaves under group extensions. In particular, we prove a result which implies that a semidirect product of a finitely generated free group by a finitely generated…

The isometric universality of the spaces $C(K)$ for $K$ a non scattered Hausdorff compact does not take into account the ``quality'' of the representation. Indeed, the existence of an isometric copy of a separable Banach space $X$ into…

We prove that for any constant $K>0$ there exists a separable group equipped with a complete bi-invariant metric bounded by $K$, isometric to the Urysohn sphere of diameter $K$, that is of `almost-universal disposition'. It is thus an…

In this paper, we study characteristics of horofunction boundaries of Carnot groups. In particular, we show that for Carnot groups, i.e., stratified nilpotent Lie groups equipped with certain left-invariant homogeneous metrics, all…

In this paper we shall study smooth submanifolds immersed in a k-step Carnot group G of homogeneous dimension Q. Among other results, we shall prove an isoperimetric inequality for the case of a $C^2$-smooth compact hypersurface S with - or…

We show that for certain arithmetic groups, geometrically finite subgroups are the intersection of finite index subgroups containing them. Examples are the Bianchi groups and the Seifert-Weber dodecahedral space. In particular, for…

We study the density of polynomials in $H^2(E,\varphi)$, the space of square integrable functions with respect to $e^{-\varphi}dm$ and holomorphic on the interior of $E$ in $\mathbb{C}$, where $\varphi$ is a subharmonic function and $dm$ is…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of Banach spaces and let $T=\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in A}$ be a set of metric spaces. We say that $T$ is a set of {\it test-spaces} for $\mathcal{P}$ if the following two conditions are equivalent: (1)…

The paper concerns the investigation of nonconvex and nondifferentiable integral functionals on general Banach spaces, which may not be reflexive and/or separable. Considering two major subdifferentials of variational analysis, we derive…

We prove a Rademacher-type theorem for Lipschitz mappings from a subset of a Carnot group to a Banach homogeneous group, equipped with a suitably weakened Radon-Nikodym property. We provide a metric area formula that applies to these…

The Whitney extension theorem is a classical result in analysis giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a function defined on a closed set to be extendable to the whole space with a given class of regularity. It has been adapted to…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…

We show that inclusions of $p$-metric spaces always produce genuine linear embeddings at the level of Lipschitz-free $p$-spaces. More precisely, for every $0<p<1$ and every inclusion $ \mathit{N}\subset \mathit{M}$ of $p$-metric spaces, the…

We construct finitely generated groups with arbitrary prescribed Hilbert space compression \alpha from the interval [0,1]. For a large class of Banach spaces E (including all uniformly convex Banach spaces), the E-compression of these…
