We introduce a new complexity measure of a path of (problems, solutions) pairs in terms of the length of the path in the condition metric which we define in the article. The measure gives an upper bound for the number of Newton steps…

This expository article discusses some connections between the geometry of a hyperbolic 3-manifold homotopy-equivalent to a surface, and the combinatorial properties of its end invariants. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition…

Let $M$ be a complete, connected Riemannian surface and suppose that $\mathcal{S} \subset M$ is a discrete subset. What can we learn about $M$ from the knowledge of all distances in the surface between pairs of points of $\mathcal{S}$? We…

For a metric space $X$ we study metrics on the two copies of $X$. We define composition of such metrics and show that the equivalence classes of metrics are a semigroup $M(X)$ Our main result is that $M(X)$ is an inverse semigroup,…

Many procedures in science, engineering and medicine produce data in the form of geometric shapes. Mathematically, a shape can be modeled as an un-parameterized immersed sub-manifold, which is the notion of shape used here. Endowing shape…

Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

Let Riemannian metrics $g$ and $\bar g$ on a connected manifold $M^n$ have the same geodesics (considered as unparameterized curves). Suppose the eigenvalues of one metric with respect to the other are all different at a point. Then, by the…

We prove that a proper geodesic metric space has non-positive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov if and only if it satisfies the Euclidean isoperimetric inequality for curves. Our result extends to non-geodesic spaces and non-zero…

Several rigidity results are proved for critical points of natural Riemannian functionals on the space of metrics on 3-manifolds. Two of these results are as follows. Let (N, g) be a complete Riemannian 3-manifold, satisfying one of the…
