We study a natural discrete Bochner-type inequality on graphs, and explore its merit as a notion of curvature in discrete spaces. An appealing feature of this discrete version seems to be that it is fairly straightforward to compute this…
We present a collection of results on the evolution by curvature of networks of planar curves. We discuss in particular the existence of a solution and the analysis of singularities.
We provide a counter-example to Hutchinson's original proof of $C^{1,\alpha}$ representation of curvature $m$-varifolds with $L^q$-integrable second fundamental form and $q>m$ in [6]. We also provide an alternative proof of the same result…
The main theme of this paper is establishing the "generalized Springer correspondence" in complete generality that is, for not necessarily connected reductive algebraic groups.
Modeling of a wide class of physical phenomena, such as crystal growth and flame propagation, leads to tracking fronts moving with curvature-dependent speed. When the speed is the curvature this leads to one of the classical degenerate…
Based on two classical notions of curvature for curves in general metric spaces, namely the Menger and Haantjes curvatures, we introduce new definitions of sectional, Ricci and scalar curvature for networks and their higher dimensional…
Curvature tensors of higher-spin gauge theories have been known for some time. In the past, they were postulated using a generalization of the symmetry properties of the Riemann tensor (curl on each index of a totally symmetric rank-$n$…
We give a new upper bound for the average graph distance in terms of the average Ollivier curvature. Here, the average Ollivier curvature is weighted with the edge betweenness centrality. Moreover, we prove that equality is attained…
In this paper we introduce two new notions of sectional curvature for Riemannian manifolds with density. Under both notions of curvature we classify the constant curvature manifolds. We also prove generalizations of the theorems of…
Many applications in network science have recently been discovered for the "curvature" of a network, but there is no consensus on the definition for this term. A common approach in these applications is to derive from the curvature either a…
We consider various mechanisms of modifying the effect of intrinsic curvature in gravity with respect to general relativity. Two primary approaches are studied. First, by considering a Lagrange multiplier or an auxiliary field. Second, by…
The Einstein initial-value equations in the extrinsic curvature (Hamiltonian) representation and conformal thin sandwich (Lagrangian) representation are brought into complete conformity by the use of a decomposition of symmetric tensors…
Connections and curvings on gerbes are beginning to play a vital role in differential geometry and mathematical physics -- first abelian gerbes, and more recently nonabelian gerbes. These concepts can be elegantly understood using the…
In the Frobenius problem we are given a set of coprime, positive integers $a_1, a_2,...,a_k$, and are interested in the set of positive numbers NR that have no representation by the linear form $\sum_i a_ix_i$ in nonnegative integers $x_1,…
Correlation functions are ubiquitous tools in quantum field theory from both a fundamental and a practical point of view. However, up to now their use in theories of quantum gravity beyond perturbative and asymptotically flat regimes has…
We show how the formalism of Frobenius descent for torsors enables to study torsors under Frobenius kernels in terms of non-commutative, Lie-valued differential forms. We pay particular attention to affine line bundles trivialized by the…
We generalize, explain and simplify Langer's results concerning Frobenius direct images of line bundles on quadrics, describing explicitly the decompositions of higher Frobenius push-forwards of arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay bundles into…
In one of his papers, the author introduces the class of Farkas-related vectors for which a version of Farkas' lemma over integers is derived. In this paper, two similar classes are introduced and studied.
This paper fires the opening salvo in the systematic construction of the lattice-continuum correspondence, a precise dictionary that describes the emergence of continuum quantum theories from finite, nonperturbatively defined models…
The issues of quintessence and cosmic acceleration can be discussed in the framework of higher order theories of gravity. We can define effective pressure and energy density directly connected to the Ricci scalar of curvature of a generic…
