If a group $\Gamma$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$ without 3-flats, then either $X$ contains a $\Gamma$-periodic geodesic which does not bound a flat half-plane, or else $X$ is a rank 2 Riemannian symmetric space, a 2-dimensional…

For any adic transformation $T$ defined on the path space $X$ of an ordered Bratteli diagram, endowed with a Markov measure $\mu$, we construct an explicit dimension space (which corresponds to a matrix values random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$)…

We consider Finsler submanifolds $M^n$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature in a Minkowski space $\mathbb{M}^{n+p}$ which contain a line or whose relative nullity index is positive. For hypersurfaces, submanifolds of codimension two or of…

We consider stabilities for the weighted length or energy functional of a discrete map from a finite weighted graph $(X,m_{E})$ into a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We prove the non-existence of a stable discrete minimal immersion or…

We consider pseudoconvexity properties in Lorentzian and Riemannian manifolds and their relationship in static spacetimes. We provide an example of a causally continuous and maximal null pseudoconvex spacetime that fails to be causally…

We construct examples of asymptotically cylindrical Riemannian 8-manifolds with holonomy group Spin(7). To our knowledge, these are the first such examples. The construction uses an extension to asymptotically cylindrical setting of Joyce's…

We introduce a smooth mapping of some discrete space-time symmetries into quasi-continuous ones. Such transformations are related with q-deformations of the dilations of the Euclidean space and with the non-commutative space. We work out…

Optimal transport enables one to construct a metric on the set of (sufficiently small at infinity) probability measures on any (not too wild) metric space X, called its Wasserstein space W(X). In this paper we investigate the geometry of…

In this paper we consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold M with Ricci curvature bounded from below, positive injectivity radius and spectral gap b. We introduce a sequence X^1(M), X^2(M), ... of new Hardy spaces on M,…

Noncommutative space has been found to be of use in a number of different contexts. In particular, one may use noncommutative spacetime to generate quantised gravity theories. Via an identification between the Moyal $\star$-product on…

The question, under what geometric assumptions on a space X an n-quasiflat in X implies the existence of an n-flat therein, has been investigated for a long time. It was settled in the affirmative for Busemann spaces by Kleiner, and for…

We discuss tachyon-free examples of (Type IIB on) non-compact non-supersymmetric orbifolds. Tachyons are projected out by discrete torsion between orbifold twists, while supersymmetry is broken by a Scherk-Schwarz phase (+1/-1 when acting…

For n>6, we show that if G is a torsion-free hyperbolic group whose visual boundary is an (n-2)-dimensional Sierpinski space, then G=\pi_1(W) for some aspherical n-manifold W with nonempty boundary. Concerning the converse, we construct,…

For each odd integer r greater than one and not divisible by three we give explicit examples of infinite families of simply and tangentially homotopy equivalent but pairwise non-homeomorphic closed homogeneous spaces with fundamental group…

We shall generalize the concept of $z=(1-t)x\oplus ty$ to $n$ times which contains to verifying some their properties and inequalities in CAT(0) spaces. In the sequel with introducing of $\alpha$-nonexpansive mappings, we obtain some fixed…

We give a simple construction of new, complete, finite volume manifolds $M$ of bounded, nonpositive curvature. These manifolds have ends that look like a mixture of locally symmetric ends of different ranks and their fundamental groups are…

In this paper we consider a class of exactly solvable closed string flux backgrounds that exhibit non-commutativity in the closed string coordinates. They are realized in terms of freely-acting asymmetric Z_N-orbifolds, which are themselves…

We study direct limits $(G,K) = \varinjlim (G_n,K_n)$ of Gelfand pairs of the form $G_n = N_n\rtimes K_n$ with $N_n$ nilpotent, in other words pairs $(G_n,K_n)$ for which $G_n/K_n$ is a commutative nilmanifold. First, we extend the…

Let $n\geq 3$, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R} $, and $(X,h)$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth complete Riemannian manifold with ${\rm Ric}_h > \lambda $. In this paper, we construct, for each given $\epsilon >0$, a sequence of $(n+2)$-dimensional…

In this work, we consider the area non-increasing map between manifolds with positive curvature. By exploring the strong maximum principle along the graphical mean curvature flow, we show that an area non-increasing map between certain…
