We introduce Riemannian-like structures associated with strong local Dirichlet forms on general state spaces. Such structures justify the principle that the pointwise index of the Dirichlet form represents the effective dimension of the…
A quantized version of the Sierpinski gasket is proposed, on purely topological grounds, as a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ with a suitable form of self-similarity. Several properties of $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ are studied, in particular…
We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the heat kernel defined by a stochastically perturbed geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold for small time and small diffusion parameter. This extends WKB-type methods to a…
On a compact complex manifold $(M, J)$ endowed with a holomorphic Poisson tensor $\pi_J$ and a deRham class $\alpha\in H^2(M, \mathbb R)$, we study the space of generalized K\"ahler (GK) structures defined by a symplectic form $F\in \alpha$…
In this paper we consider a class of conjugate equations, which generalizes de Rham's functional equations. We give sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions under two different series of assumptions. We consider…
We present a direct proof of the non-degeneracy of the harmonic structures on the level-$n$ Sierpinski gaskets for any $n\geq 2$, which was conjectured by Hino in [H1,H2] and confirmed to be true by Tsougkas [T] very recently using Tutte's…
In this article, the ray tracing method is studied beyond the classical geometrical theory. The trajectories are here regarded as geodesics in a Riemannian manifold, whose metric and topological properties are those induced by the…
I review certain results in harmonic analysis for systems whose configuration space is a compact Lie group. The results described involve a heat kernel measure, which plays the same role as a Gaussian measure on Euclidean space. The main…
We propose a new metric between probability measures on a compact metric space that mirrors the Riemannian manifold-like structure of quadratic optimal transport but includes entropic regularization. Its metric tensor is given by the…
We compare three notions of genericity of separable metric structures. Our analysis provides a general model theoretic technique of showing that structures are generic in descriptive set theoretic (topological) sense and in measure…
We study the high-dimensional limit of (projective) Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds as metric measure spaces in Gromov's topology. The limits are either the infinite-dimensional Gaussian space or its quotient by an mm-isomorphic group…
We study energy measures on SG based on harmonic functions. We characterize the positive energy measures through studying the bounds of Radon-Nikodym derivatives with respect to the Kusuoka measure. We prove a limited continuity of the…
We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…
We discuss quantitative estimates of the local spectral dimension of the two-dimensional Sierpinski gasket. The present arguments were inspired by a previous study of the distribution of the Kusuoka measure by R. Bell, C.-W. Ho, and R. S.…
We define a formal Riemannian metric on a given conformal class of metrics on a closed Riemann surface. We show interesting formal properties for this metric, in particular the curvature is nonpositive and the Liouville energy is…
Given a domain $\Omega$ of a complete Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and define $\mathcal{A}$ to be the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition on $\Omega$. We prove that, under appropriate conditions, the corresponding heat kernel…
This paper studies strongly local symmetric Dirichlet forms on general measure spaces. The underlying space is equipped with the intrinsic metric induced by the Dirichlet form, with respect to which the metric measure space does not…
We prove that Riemannian metrics with an absolute Ricci curvature bound and a conjugate radius bound can be smoothed to having a sectional curvature bound. Using this we derive a number of results about structures of manifolds with Ricci…
We prove that a metric measure space equipped with a Dirichlet form admitting an Euclidean heat kernel is necessarily isometric to the Euclidean space. This helps us providing an alternative proof of Colding's celebrated almost rigidity…
The geometric approach to optimal transport and information theory has triggered the interpretation of probability densities as an infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The most studied Riemannian structures are Otto's metric, yielding…
