We unravel a deep connection between limits of real numbers and limits in category theory. Using a new variant of the classical characterisation of the real numbers, we characterise the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and…

Multiplicatively invariant (MI) spaces are closed subspaces of $L^2(\Omega,\mathcal{H})$ that are invariant under multiplications of (some) functions in $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$. In this paper we work with MI spaces that are finitely generated.…

In this short note we survey theorems and provide conjectures on gluing constructions under lower curvature bounds in smooth and non-smooth context. Focusing on synthetic lower Ricci curvature bounds we consider Riemannian manifolds,…

In the general setting of quantum controls, it is unrealistic to control all of the degrees of freedom of a quantum system. We consider a scenario where our direct access is restricted to a small subsystem $S$ that is constantly interacting…

For each cardinal $\kappa$, each natural number $n$ and each simplicial complex $K$ we construct a space $\nu^n_\kappa(K)$ and a map $\pi \colon \nu^n_\kappa(K) \to K$ such that the following conditions are satisfied. 1. $\nu^n_\kappa(K)$…

We give conditions under which a sequence of randomly chosen orthogonal subspaces of a separable Hilbert space generates the whole space.

We prove that any complete metric space has a unique decomposition as a direct product of a possibly finite or zero-dimensional Hilbert space and a space that does not split off lines.

We present two fast constructions of weak*-copies of $\ell ^\infty$ in $H^{\infty}$ and show that such copies are necessarily weak*-complemented. Moreover, via a Paley-Wiener type of stability theorem for bases, a connection can be made in…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichm\"uller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its link to Hitchin components. The…

Let V be a 2n-dimensional complex symplectic space. Let G' be the Lagrangian Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces of V embedded via the inclusion i into the Grassmannian G of all n-dimensional subspaces of V. We discuss the…

In a separably connected space any two points are contained in a separable connected subset. We show a mechanism that takes a connected bounded metric space and produces a complete connected metric space whose separablewise components form…

Defining the observable ${\bf \phi}$ canonically conjugate to the number observable ${\bf N}$ has long been an open problem in quantum theory. Here we show how to define the absolute phase observable ${\bf \Phi}\equiv |{\bf\phi}|$ by…

We axiomatically define (pre-)Hilbert categories. The axioms resemble those for monoidal Abelian categories with the addition of an involutive functor. We then prove embedding theorems: any locally small pre-Hilbert category whose monoidal…

A convergent iterative process is constructed for solving any solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space.

After a review of multi particle solutions in classical 2+1 dimensional gravity we will construct a one particle Hilbert space. As we will use a curved momentum space, the coordinates $x^\mu$ are represented as non commuting Hermitian…

We introduce and analyze a new geometric structure on topological surfaces generalizing the complex structure. To define this so called higher complex structure we use the punctual Hilbert scheme of the plane. The moduli space of higher…

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…

In a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal H$, two frames $\{f_i\}_{i \in I}$ and $\{g_i\}_{i \in I}$ are said to be woven if there are constants $0<A \leq B$ so that for every $\sigma \subset I$, $\{f_i\}_{i \in \sigma} \cup \{g_i\}_{i \in…

We show that a metric space $X$ that, at every point, has a Gromov-Hausdorff tangent with the splitting property (i.e. every geodesic line splits off a factor $\mathbb{R}$), is universally infinitesimally Hilbertian (i.e. $W^{1,2}(X,\mu)$…
