This paper gives some relating results for various concepts of convexity in metric spaces such as midpoint convexity, convex structure, uniform convexity and near-uniform convexity, Busemann curvature and its relation to convexity. Some…

We give a global description of envelopes of geodesic tangents of regular curves in (not necessarily convex) Riemannian surfaces. We prove that such an envelope is the union of the curve itself, its inflectional geodesics and its tangential…

Given a closed two dimensional manifold, we prove a general existence result for a class of elliptic PDEs with exponential nonlinearities and negative Dirac deltas on the right-hand side, extending a theory recently obtained for the regular…

We give a formula for scalar product and distance in generalized barycentric coordinates for Euclidean and Pseudo-Euclidean spaces.

Recently, Liero, Mielke and Savar\'{e} introduced Hellinger-Kantorovich distance on the space of nonnegative Radon measures of a metric space $X$ [19,20]. We prove that Hellinger-Kantorovich barycenters always exist for a class of metric…

This paper provides a self-contained exploration of subdivisions of simplicial complexes, with emphasis on barycentric subdivision. We present formal definitions of subdivisions, show how the realization of a complex is preserved under…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the barycenter of a signed distribution of probability measures on a Hilbert space. The barycenter is found, as usual, as a minimum of a functional. In the case where the positive part of the signed…

We demonstrate that the idempotent barycenter map, associated with a t-norm $\ast$, is open if and only if the map of max-$\ast$ convex combination is open. As a corollary, we deduce that the idempotent barycenter map is open for spaces of…

This paper describes a novel construction of generalized barycentric coordinates of points on a sphere with respect to the vertices of a given spherical polygon that is contained in a common hemisphere. While in the standard approach such…

We describe the class of polynomial functions which are barycentrically associative over an infinite commutative integral domain.

We show that there exists a geodesic spanner with almost linear number of edges.

We consider here a generalization of a well known discrete dynamical system produced by the bisection of reflection angles that are constructed recursively between two lines in the Euclidean plane. It is shown that similar properties of…

We prove that the hierarchical hulls of finite sets of points in mapping class groups and Teichm\"uller spaces are stably approximated by a CAT(0) cube complexes, strengthening a result of Behrstock-Hagen-Sisto. As applications, we prove…

Let X be a tree of proper geodesic spaces with edge spaces strongly contracting and uniformly separated from each other by a number depending on the contraction function of edge spaces. Then we prove that the strongly contracting geodesics…

We extend a recent result of Tim Austin (see arXiv:0905.0515) to the L^1 setting, thus providing a general version of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for functions taking values in nonpositively curved spaces. In this setting, the notion of a…

We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a general separable Hilbert space. Specifically, we show that…

It is known that the space of convex polygons in the Euclidean plane with fixed normals, up to homotheties and translations, endowed with the area form, is isometric to a hyperbolic polyhedron. In this note we show a class of convex…

We introduce the notion centre of a convex set and study the space of continuous affine functions on a compact convex set with a centre. We show that these spaces are precisely the dual of a base normed space in which the underlying base…

Consider a complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ and optimal transport problems on it with cost functions of the form $c(x,y) = h(d_{{g}}(x,y))$. We study the absolute continuity of the corresponding generalized Wasserstein barycenters of…

A geodesic bicombing on a metric space selects for every pair of points a geodesic connecting them. We prove existence and uniqueness results for geodesic bicombings satisfying different convexity conditions. In combination with recent work…
