The Brouwer fixed point theorem states that the disk $D^n$ has the fixed point property. More generally, by the Lefschetz fixed point theorem any compact ANR with trivial rational homology has the fixed point property. In this note we prove…

This paper first proves two fixed point theorems in complete random normed modules, which are respectively the random generalizations of the classical Banach's contraction mapping principle and Browder--Kirk's fixed point theorem. As…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

We prove that quadrangulations with a simple boundary converge to the Brownian disk. More precisely, we fix a sequence $(p_n)$ of even positive integers with $p_n\sim 2\alpha \sqrt{2n}$ for some $\alpha\in(0,\infty)$. Then, for the…

We study the existence of fixed points for continuous maps $f$ from an $n$-ball $X$ in $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 1$. We show that $f$ has a fixed point if, for some absolute retract $Y\subset\partial X$, $f(Y)\subset X$ and…

Given a totally positive matrix, can one insert a line (row or column) between two given lines while maintaining total positivity? This question was first posed and solved by Johnson and Smith who gave an algorithm that results in one…

This paper explores the two-user Gaussian interference channel through the lens of a natural deterministic channel model. The main result is that the deterministic channel uniformly approximates the Gaussian channel, the capacity regions…

We develop a new approach to the pulling back fixed point theorem of W. Browder and use it in order to prove various generalizations of this result.

We prove limit theorems for the number of fixed points, descents, and inversions of iterated random-to-top shuffles in two asymptotic regimes. Our proofs are analytic, and they utilize new combinatorial decompositions that represent each…

We establish the first common fixed point theorem for commutative set-valued mappings. This may help to generalize common fixed point theorems in single-valued setting to those in set-valued. We also prove the existence of a fixed point in…

Information geometry of Markov chains has been studied using the dually flat structure of the space of transition probabilities. Although applications of this structure have been investigated, few attempts have examined its statistical…

Sampling from unnormalized densities using diffusion models has emerged as a powerful paradigm. However, while recent approaches that use least-squares `matching' objectives have improved scalability, they often necessitate significant…

We generalize the study of Heisenberg uniqueness pairs considered in earlier work with Alfonso Montes-Rodriguez. We also find the critical density in the case of one branch of the hyperbola. In the critical case there is non-uniqueness for…

We introduce map-dependent quantum characteristic functions constructed from the normalized Choi operator of quantum dynamical maps. We prove a Bochner--Choi positivity theorem establishing that the positive-type condition of the associated…

In this paper using Sperner's lemma for modified partition of a simplex we will constructively prove Brouwer's fixed point theorem for sequentially locally non-constant and uniformly sequentially continuous functions.

We present a solution of Exercise 1.2.1 of [2] which yields a short new proof of a key step in one of proofs of Brouwer's fixed point theorem, 1910. A few people asked the author about the details of the solution and they might be…

Transmission probabilities of the scattering problem with a position dependent mass are studied. After sketching the basis of the theory, within the context of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for spatially varying effective mass, the simplest…

The alternate row and column scaling algorithm applied to a positive $n\times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic matrix $S(A)$, sometimes called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. For every positive integer $n$, a two parameter…

We introduce the notions of $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point and weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point. We show that for a group of unitary matrices even the existence of a nontrivial weak $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point for…

We study the fixed point theory of n-valued maps of a space X using the fixed point theory of maps between X and its configuration spaces. We give some general results to decide whether an n-valued map can be deformed to a fixed point free…
