The main purpose of this paper is to generalize and develop a few basic properties of the innerproduct space on a hypervector space. On this hypervector space we define the norm. Also we establish a important relation between normed…
We consider the question of when sets definable in first-order expansions of groups contain the product of two infinite sets (we refer to this as the "productset property"). We first show that the productset property holds for any definable…
We present a general refinement of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality over complete inner product spaces and show that it can be of interest for some statistical applications. This generalizes and simplifies previous results on the same subject.
Intrinsic core generalises the finite-dimensional notion of the relative interior to arbitrary (real) vector spaces. Our main goal is to provide a self-contained overview of the key results pertaining to the intrinsic core and to elucidate…
We give a self contained introduction to A$_\infty$-algebras, A$_\infty$-bimodules and maps between them. The case of A$_\infty$-bimodule-map between $A$ and its dual space $A^{*}$, which we call $\infty$-inner-product, will be investigated…
A 1972 duality conjecture due to Pietsch asserts that the entropy numbers of a compact operator acting between two Banach spaces and those of its adjoint are (in an appropriate sense) equivalent. This is equivalent to a dimension free…
The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…
The n-th symmetric product of a metric space is the set of its nonempty subsets with cardinality at most n, equipped with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that every symmetric product of the line is an absolute Lipschitz retract and admits a…
By introducing an intrinsic perimeter measure for intrinsic countably rectifiable sets, we prove a compactness result and a Poincar\'e inequality for special functions with bounded variation in equiregular Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces which…
We investigate the iterated Kronecker product of a square matrix with itself and prove an invariance property for symmetric subspaces. This motivates the definition of an iterated symmetric Kronecker product and the derivation of an…
Covariance is used as an inner product on a formal vector space built on n random variables to define measures of correlation Md across a set of vectors in a d-dimensional space. For d = 1, one has the diameter; for d = 2, one has an area.…
The tensor product of two ordered vector spaces can be ordered in more than one way, just as the tensor product of normed spaces can be normed in multiple ways. Two natural orderings have received considerable attention in the past, namely…
In this paper we prove different functional inequalities extending the classical Rogers-Shephard inequalities for convex bodies. The original inequalities provide an optimal relation between the volume of a convex body and the volume of…
It is known that, in finite dimensions, the support function of a compact convex set with non empty interior is differentiable excepting the origin if and only if the set is strictly convex. In this paper we realize a thorough study of the…
We extend to a functional setting the concept of quermassintegrals, well-known within the Minkowski theory of convex bodies. We work in the class of quasi-concave functions defined on the Euclidean space, and with the hierarchy of their…
We define the concept of an internal symmetry. This is a symmety within a solution of a constraint satisfaction problem. We compare this to solution symmetry, which is a mapping between different solutions of the same problem. We argue that…
It is shown that there is an interesting interplay between self-duality, loop representation and knots invariants in the quantum theory of Maxwell fields in Minkowski space-time. Specifically, in the loop representation based on self-dual…
We show that the existence of a nontrivial Massey product in the cohomology ring H^*(X) imposes global constraints upon the Riemannian geometry of a manifold X. Namely, we exhibit a suitable systolic inequality, associated to such a…
The Wills functional $\mathcal{W}(K)$ of a convex body $K$, defined as the sum of its intrinsic volumes $\mathrm{V}_i(K)$, turns out to have many interesting applications and properties. In this paper we make profit of the fact that it can…
In the finite-dimensional case, we present a new approach to the theory of cones with a mapping cone symmetry, first introduced by St{\o}rmer. Our method is based on a definition of an inner product in the space of linear maps between two…
