We prove a fixpoint theorem for contractions on Cauchy-complete quantale-enriched categories. It holds for any quantale whose underlying lattice is continuous, and applies to contractions whose control function is sequentially…

The de Rham complex arises naturally when studying problems in electromagnetism and fluid mechanics. Stable numerical methods to solve these problems can be obtained by using a discrete de Rham complex that preserves the structure of the…

Positive configurations of points in the affine building were introduced in \cite{Le} as the basic object needed to define higher laminations. We start by giving a self-contained, elementary definition of positive configurations of points…

Having in view some applications in nanophysics, in particular in nanophysics of materials, we develop new dynamical models of structured bodies with affine internal degrees of freedom. In particular, we construct some models where not only…

An affine iterated function system is a finite collection of affine invertible contractions and the invariant set associated to the mappings is called self-affine. In 1988, Falconer proved that, for given matrices, the Hausdorff dimension…

We define a notion of morphism for generalized affine buildings, also known as affine $\Lambda$-buildings, extending existing definitions and giving rise to a category of generalized affine buildings. For affine $\Lambda$-buildings equipped…

We give characterizations of affine transformations and affine vector fields in terms of the spray. By utilizing the Jacobi type equation that characterizes affine vector fields, we prove some rigidity theorems of affine vector fields on…

We construct certain integral structures for the cores of reduced tame extended affine Lie algebras of rank at least 2. One of the main tools to achieve this is a generalization of Chevalley automorphisms in the context of extended affine…

We construct affine algebras with an arbitrary amount of simple modules of each dimension.

An interesting question is whether two 3-manifolds can be distinguished by computing and comparing their collections of finite covers; more precisely, by the profinite completions of their fundamental groups. In this paper, we solve this…

We define refined invariants which "count" nodal curves in sufficiently ample linear systems on surfaces, conjecture that their generating function is multiplicative, and conjecture explicit formulas in the case of K3 and abelian surfaces.…

We introduce refinement in the function-behaviour-structure framework for design, as described by John Gero, in order to deal with complexity. We do this by connecting the frameworks for the design of two models, one the refinement of the…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

This note summarizes the steps to computing the best-fitting affine reflection that aligns two sets of corresponding points.

We show that, if a building is endowed with its complete system of apartments, and if each panel is contained in at least four chambers, then the intersection of two apartments can be any convex subcomplex contained in an apartment. This…

A functor of sets $\mathbb X$ over the category of $K$-commutative algebras is said to be an affine functor if its functor of functions, $\mathbb A_{\mathbb X}$, is reflexive and $\mathbb X=\Spec \mathbb A_{\mathbb X}$. We prove that affine…

We describe an algorithm for computing the convex hull of a finite collection of points in the affine building of SL_d(K), for K a field with discrete valuation. These convex hulls describe the relations among a finite collection of…

In this paper we propose a way to construct an analytic space over a non-archimedean field, starting with a real manifold with an affine structure which has integral monodromy. Our construction is motivated by the junction of Homological…

In this paper, we give a general group-theoretic construction of affine $\RR$-buildings, and more generally, of affine $\Lambda$-buildings, associated to semisimple Lie groups over nonarchimedean real closed fields. The construction of…

In the present paper we investigate the mechanics of systems of affinely-rigid bodies, i.e., bodies rigid in the sense of affine geometry. Certain physical applications are possible in modelling of molecular crystals, granular media, and…
