The purpose of this paper is to show that the multiplicities of a discrete series representation relatively to a compact subgroup can be "computed" geometrically, in the way predicted by the "qantization commutes with reduction" principle…

The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
In this paper we consider the coupled system given by the first variation of the conformal Dirac-Einstein functional. We will show existence of solutions by means of perturbation methods.
In this paper, we analyze the discrete inf-sup condition and related error estimates for a modified Hilbert transformation as used in the space-time discretization of time-dependent partial differential equations. It turns out that the…
We consider surfaces which minimize a nonlocal perimeter functional and we discuss their interior regularity and rigidity properties, in a quantitative and qualitative way, and their (perhaps rather surprising) boundary behavior. We present…
Within the context of rough path analysis via fractional calculus, we show how variability can be used to prove the existence of integrals with respect to H\"older continuous multiplicative functionals in the case of Lipschitz coefficients…
