We study dynamics in a neighborhood of a nonhyperbolic fixed point or an irreducible homoclinic tangent point. General type conditions for the existence of infinite sets of periodic points are obtained. A new method, based on the study of…
In this paper we try to compare the "horoboundary" of a (not necessarily simply connected) negatively curved complete Riemannian manifold X with the visual one and describe with explicit examples some phenomenoms wich may appear when X is…
In this paper, we describe the intersection between geodesic and conformal currents on closed hyperbolic three-manifolds. We use this to prove some sharp bounds which involve the Liouville entropy of a negatively curved metric, the minimal…
In this paper known results of symmetric orthogonality, as introduced by G. Birkhoff, and non-expansive nearest point projections are extended from the linear to the metric setting. If the space has non-positive curvature in the sense…
Some known fixed point theorems for nonexpansive mappings in metric spaces are extended here to the case of primitive uniform spaces. The reasoning presented in the proofs seems to be a natural way to obtain other general results.
We examine the long-run behavior of a wide range of dynamics for learning in nonatomic games, in both discrete and continuous time. The class of dynamics under consideration includes fictitious play and its regularized variants, the…
Several situations of physical importance may be modelled by linear quantum fields propagating in fixed spacetime-dependent classical background fields. For example, the quantum Dirac field in a strong and/or time-dependent external…
We introduce the concept of $\it{ startpoint}$ and $\it{endpoint}$ for multivalued maps defined on a quasi-pseudometric space. We investigate the relation between these new concepts and the existence of fixed points for these set valued…
Bayesian regression games are a special class of two-player general-sum Bayesian games in which the learner is partially informed about the adversary's objective through a Bayesian prior. This formulation captures the uncertainty in regard…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…
We show that the co-rays to a ray in a complete non-compact Finsler manifold contain geodesic segments to upper level sets of Busemann functions. Moreover, we characterise the co-point set to a ray as the cut locus of such level sets. The…
In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic and residually finite we prove, under appropriate…
Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space $M$, we study the statistical asymptotic penetration behavior of (locally) geodesic lines of $M$ in small neighborhoods of points, of closed geodesics, and of other compact (locally) convex…
We investigate local and global properties of timelike geodesics in three static spherically symmetric spacetimes. These properties are of its own mathematical relevance and provide a solution of the physical `twin paradox' problem. The…
The aim of this paper is to extend the definition of geodesics to conical manifolds, defined as submanifolds of $\R^n$ with a finite number of singularities. We look for an approach suitable both for the local geodesic problem and for the…
We study the classical geodesic motions of nonzero rest mass test particles and photons in (3+1+n)- dimensional warped product spaces. An important feature of these spaces is that they allow a natural decoupling between the motions in the…
In this note, we compare and contrast various selective divergence properties such as the properties of being discretely selective and selectively highly divergent. We identify and incorporate a class of subsemigroups of the semigroup of…
Finite games in normal form and their mixed extensions are a corner stone of noncooperative game theory. Often generic finite games and their mixed extensions are considered. But the properties which one expects in generic games and the…
This paper proves the existence and uniqueness results (in the sense of maximally defined regularity) as well as the stability analysis for the solutions to a class of nonlocal fully-nonlinear parabolic systems, where the nonlocality stems…
In this paper, we try to generalize to the case of compact Riemannian orbifolds $Q$ some classical results about the existence of closed geodesics of positive length on compact Riemannian manifolds $M$. We shall also consider the problem of…
