We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…
We answer a question of Just, Miller, Scheepers and Szeptycki whether certain diagonalization properties for sequences of open covers are provably closed under taking finite or countable unions. This is a very concise paper. For a…
In this paper, we prove the equivalent of ultracontractive bound of heat semigroup or the uniform upper bound of the heat kernel with the Nash inequality, Log-Sobolev inequalities on graphs. We also show that under the assumption of volume…
In this article, we discuss ergodicity properties of a diffusion process given through an It\^{o} stochastic differential equation. We identify conditions on the drift and diffusion coefficients which result in sub-geometric ergodicity of…
We provide sufficient conditions for two subgroups of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to generate an amalgamated free product over their intersection. The result applies in particular to certain geometric subgroups of mapping class groups…
Point-like topological defects are singular configurations that occur in a variety of in and out of equilibrium systems with two-dimensional orientational order. As they are associated with a nonzero circuitation condition, the presence of…
We consider a system consisting of a geometric evolution equation for a hypersurface and a parabolic equation on this evolving hypersurface. More precisely, we discuss mean curvature flow scaled with a term that depends on a quantity…
We study the compactness problem for moduli spaces of holomorphic supercurves which, being motivated by supergeometry, are perturbed such as to allow for transversality. We give an explicit construction of limiting objects for sequences of…
Let $M$ be a complete, non-compact, connected Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below by a negative constant. A sufficient condition is obtained for open and connected sets $D$ in $M$ for which the corresponding…
We consider possible resolutions of singularities in a contracting anisotropic universe for a class of higher derivative gravity theories. We give evidence that for our models the big crunch singularity may be replaced by a nearly flat…
We investigate properties of Markov quasi-diffusion processes corresponding to elliptic operators $L=a^{ij}D_{ij}+b^{i}D_{i}$, acting on functions on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, with measurable coefficients, bounded and uniformly elliptic $a$ and…
We consider the damped hyperbolic motion of polygons by a linear semi-discrete analogue of polyharmonic curve diffusion. We show that such flows may transition any polygon to any other polygon, reminiscent of the Yau problem of evolving one…
In this work, we address ergodicity of smooth actions of finitely generated semi-groups on an m-dimensional closed manifold M. We provide sufficient conditions for such an action to be ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Our…
For Markov processes with absorption, we provide general criteria ensuring the existence and the exponential non-uniform convergence in total variation norm to a quasi-stationary distribution. We also characterize a subset of its domain of…
We construct self-adjoint Laplacians and symmetric Markov semigroups on hyperbolic attractors, endowed with Gibbs $u$-measures. If the measure has full support, we can also conclude the existence of an associated symmetric diffusion…
The goal of this survey is to present combinatorial modulus that have been recently used to study quasi-conformal properties of boundaries of hyperbolic groups. First, we will recall well known rigidity results and questions that motivated…
We find a new monotone increasing quantity along smooth solutions to the inverse mean curvature flow in $\mathbb R^n$. As an application, we derive a sharp geometric inequality for mean convex, star-shaped hypersurfaces which relates the…
Let G be a group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups A, and it is also hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups B. Suppose that the collection A contains B. We characterize, for subgroups of G, when…
For a given semilinear parabolic equation with polynomial nonlinearity, many solutions blow up in finite time. For a certain large class of these equations, we show that some of the solutions which do not blow up actually tend to…
We explore the combination theorem for a group G splitting as a graph of relatively hyperbolic groups. Using the fine graph approach to relative hyperbolicity, we find short proofs of the relative hyperbolicity of G under certain…
