We prove that if $\omega _1$ and $\omega _2$ are moderate weights and $\mascB$ is a suitable (quasi-)Banach function space, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding $i\, :\, M (\omega _1,\mascB )\to M (\omega _2,\mascB )$…

We study the long-term behavior of the iteration of a random map consisting of Lipschitz transformations on a compact metric space, independently and randomly selected according to a fixed probability measure. Such a random map is said to…

In this paper we present a result concerning locally contractive maps defined on subsets of perfect Polish ultrametric spaces (i.e. separable complete ultrametric spaces). Specifically, we show that a perfect compact ultrametric space…

The concept of uniform convexity of a Banach space was generalized to linear operators between Banach spaces and studied by Beauzamy [1976]. Under this generalization, a Banach space X is uniformly convex if and only if its identity map I_X…

Determining the range of complex maps plays a fundamental role in the study of several complex variables and operator theory. In particular, one is often interested in determining when a given holomorphic function is a self-map of the unit…

A set $A$ in a finite dimensional Euclidean space is \emph{monovex} if for every two points $x,y \in A$ there is a continuous path within the set that connects $x$ and $y$ and is monotone (nonincreasing or nondecreasing) in each coordinate.…

We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the…

We explore extreme contractions between finite-dimensional polygonal Banach spaces, from the point of view of attainment of norm of a linear operator. We prove that if $ X $ is an $ n- $dimensional polygonal Banach space and $ Y $ is any…

We call a periodic ball packing in d-dimensional Euclidean space periodically (strictly) jammed with respect to a period lattice if there are no nontrivial motions of the balls that preserve the period (that maintain some period with…

We prove that there exists an equivalent norm $\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert$ on $L_\infty[0,1]$ with the following properties: (1) The unit ball of $(L_\infty[0,1],\Vert\vert\cdot\vert\Vert)$ contains non-empty relatively weakly open subsets…

Given a connected Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$, an \(m\)--dimensional Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ which is either compact or the Euclidean space, $p\in [1, +\infty)$ and $s\in (0,1]$, we establish, for the problems of…

We begin by describing the unit ball of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice over a Banach space $E$ (denoted by ${\mathrm{FBL}}^{(p)}[E]$) as a closed solid convex hull of an appropriate set. Based on it, we show that, if a Banach space $E$…

For any bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^m,$ let ${\mathrm B}_1(\Omega)$ denote the Cowen-Douglas class of commuting $m$-tuples of bounded linear operators. For an $m$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ in the Cowen-Douglas class ${\mathrm…

We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…

Limited-magnitude errors modify a transmitted integer vector in at most $t$ entries, where each entry can increase by at most $\kp$ or decrease by at most $\km$. This channel model is particularly relevant to applications such as flash…

We define an algebro-geometric model for the space of rational maps from a smooth curve X to an algebraic group G, and show that this space is homologically contractible. As a consequence, we deduce that the moduli space Bun(G) of G-bundles…

Let $\mathcal{M}=\{m_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$ be a separating family of lattice seminorms on a vector lattice $X$, then $(X,\mathcal{M})$ is called a multi-normed vector lattice (or MNVL). We write $x_\alpha \xrightarrow{\mathrm{m}}…

For a general radially symmetric, non-increasing, non-negative kernel $h\in L ^ 1 _{loc} ( R ^ d)$, we study the rigidity of measurable sets in $R ^ d$ with constant nonlocal $h$-mean curvature. Under a suitable "improved integrability"…

We establish two fixed point theorems for certain mappings of contractive type. The first result is concerned with the case where such mappings take a nonempty, closed subset of a complete metric space $X$ into $X$, and the second with an…

We construct infinitely differentiable norms and partitions of unity for a class of Banach spaces which includes all spaces $\C(K)$ with $K$ a countable compact space, and all spaces $\C_0[0,\Omega )$ with $\Omega $ an ordinal.
