In a separably connected space any two points are contained in a separable connected subset. We show a mechanism that takes a connected bounded metric space and produces a complete connected metric space whose separablewise components form…

Let $\mathcal{R}=(R,\oplus,\leq,0)$ be an algebraic structure, where $\oplus$ is a commutative binary operation with identity $0$, and $\leq$ is a translation-invariant total order with least element $0$. Given a distinguished subset…

While the fundamental object in Riemannian geometry is a metric, closed string theories call for us to put a two-form gauge field and a scalar dilaton on an equal footing with the metric. Here we propose a novel differential geometry which…

A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M,\de)$ is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring $\chi: M\to 2$ there exists $i\in 2$ and a copy $\mathrm{N}=(N, \de)$ of $\mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{M}$ so that $\chi(x)=i$ for all $x\in N$. The metric space…

We introduce new pseudo-metrics on spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ by considering areas associated to projecting Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{C} \times M$ to the "time-energy plane" $\mathbb{C}$.…

Ideas from deformation quantization applied to algebras with one generator lead to methods to treat a nonlinear flat connection. It provides us elements of algebras to be parallel sections. The moduli space of the parallel sections is…

We study the differential geometric properties of the manifold of non-singular symmetric real matrices endowed with the trace metric; in case of positive definite matrices we describe the full group of isometries

We show that there is an operator space notion of Lipschitz embeddability between operator spaces which is strictly weaker than its linear counterpart but which is still strong enough to impose linear restrictions on operator space…

The real symplectic Stiefel manifold is the manifold of symplectic bases of symplectic subspaces of a fixed dimension. It features in a large variety of applications in physics and engineering. In this work, we study this manifold with the…

We define a pseudometric on the set of all unbounded subsets of a metric space. The Kolmogorov quotient of this pseudometric space is a complete metric space. The definition of the pseudometric is guided by the principle that two unbounded…

We propose a coordinate-invariant geometric formulation of the GENERIC stochastic differential equation, unifying reversible Hamiltonian and irreversible dissipative dynamics within a differential-geometric framework. Our construction…

We describe recent links between two topics: geometric structures on manifolds in the sense of Ehresmann and Thurston, and dynamics "at infinity" for representations of discrete groups into Lie groups.

Motivated by a paper of Zirnbauer, we develop a theory of Riemannian supermanifolds up to a definition of Riemannian symmetric superspaces. Various fundamental concepts needed for the study of these spaces both from the Riemannian and the…

The paper introduces the class of O-metric spaces, a novel generalization of metric-type spaces, classifying almost all possible metric types into upward and downward O-metrics. We list some topologies arising from O-metrics and discuss…

Chen's iterated integrals are treated within synthetic differential geometry. The main result is that iterated integrals produce a subcomplex of the de Rham complex on the free path space as well as based path spaces.

Discretizing variational principles, as opposed to discretizing differential equations, leads to discrete-time analogues of mechanics, and, systematically, to geometric numerical integrators. The phase space of such variational…

A distance function on the set of physical equivalence classes of Yang-Mills configurations considered by Feynman and by Atiyah, Hitchin and Singer is studied for both the $2+1$ and $3+1$-dimensional Hamiltonians. This set equipped with…

We propose a definition of magnitude for a length space with a Borel measure, which involves integrals over the set of geodesics. This quantity agrees with the magnitude of finite metric spaces, up to re-scaling the metric to ensure the…

We define metrics on Culler-Vogtmann space, which are an analogue of the Teichmuller metric and are constructed using stretching factors. In fact the metrics we study are related, one being a symmetrised version of the other. We investigate…

Recently $S_{b}$-metric spaces have been introduced as the generalizations of metric and $S$-metric spaces. In this paper we investigate some basic properties of this new space. We generalize the classical Banach's contraction principle…
