We first introduce a class of divergence measures between power spectral density matrices. These are derived by comparing the suitability of different models in the context of optimal prediction. Distances between "infinitesimally close"…
We formulate an isomorphic version of the Busemann-Petty problem and solve it in affirmative in the case of sections of proportional dimensions.
We establish a Ross-Witt Nystr\"om correspondence for weak geodesic lines in the (completed) space of K\"ahler metrics. We construct a wide range of weak geodesic lines on arbitrary projective K\"ahler manifolds that are not generated by…
Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges of the graph. Assume that the graph is infinite and of bounded degree. Assume also strict positivity and finite…
A theorem of Wiegerinck asserts that the Bergman space of an open subset of the complex numbers is either infinite-dimensional or trivial. Recently, this has been generalized to holomorphic vector bundles over the projective line by the…
We study Busemann functions, semi-infinite geodesics, and competition interfaces in the exactly solvable last-passage percolation with inhomogeneous exponential weights. New phenomena concerning geodesics arise due to inhomogeneity. These…
A method to the explict solutions of general systems of algebraic equations is presented via the metric form of affiliated K\"ahler manifolds. The solutions to these systems arise from sets of geodesic second order non-linear differential…
We solve the metrisability problem for the six Painlev\'e equations, and more generally for all 2nd order ODEs with Painlev\'e property, and determine for which of these equations their integral curves are geodesics of a (pseudo) Riemannian…
Algorithms for the computation of the forward and inverse geodesic problems for an ellipsoid of revolution are derived. These are accurate to better than 15 nm when applied to the terrestrial ellipsoids. The solutions of other problems…
A projective geometry is an equivalence class of torsion free connections sharing the same unparametrised geodesics; this is a basic structure for understanding physical systems. Metric projective geometry is concerned with the interaction…
This paper investigates the failure of certain metric measure spaces to be infinitesimally Hilbertian or quasi-Riemannian manifolds, by constructing examples arising from a manifold $M$ endowed with a Riemannian metric $g$ that is possibly…
The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric body K with the measure of its sections.…
We introduce an original approach to geometric calculus in which we define derivatives and integrals on functions which depend on extended bodies in space--that is, paths, surfaces, and volumes etc. Though this theory remains to be fully…
Hilbert's Foundations of Geometry was perhaps one of the most influential works of geometry in the 20th century and its axiomatics was the first systematic attempt to clear up the logical gaps of the Elements. But does it have gaps of its…
The authors have recently shown how direct limits of Hilbert spaces can be used to construct multi-resolution analyses and wavelets in $L^2(\R)$. Here they investigate similar constructions in the context of Hilbert modules over…
The study of projectively equivalent metrics, i.e., metrics sharing the same unparametrized geodesics, is a classical and well-established area of investigation. In the Kaehler context, such branch of research goes by the name of…
In this paper we solve the Monge problem on infinite dimensional Hilbert space endowed with a suitable Gaussian measure, that satisfies the Lebesgue differentiation theorem.
Beginning from the formal resolution of Riemann Zeta function, by using the formula of inner product between two infinite-dimensional vectors in the complex space, the author proved the world's baffling problem -- Riemann hypothesis raised…
We continue our study of integral points on moduli schemes by combining the method of Faltings (Arakelov, Parsin, Szpiro) with modularity results and Masser-W\"ustholz isogeny estimates. In this work we explicitly bound the height and the…
We introduce the notion of density contractor of dimension m in a finite dimensional normed space X. If m+1=dim X this includes the area contracting projectors on hyperplanes whose existence was established by H. Busemann. If m=2, density…
