The completeness properties of spaces of immersed curves equipped with reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metrics have recently been the subject of active research. This thesis studies the metric completion of spaces of immersed open…
The goal of this introduction to symmetries is to present some general ideas, to outline the fundamental concepts and results of the subject and to situate a bit the following lectures of this school. [These notes represent the write-up of…
We give a complete characterisation of the linear isometries of ${\rm Hol}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is the half-plane, the complex plane or an annulus centered at 0 and symmetric to the unit circle. Moreover, we introduce new techniques to…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for rigidity of the perimeter inequality under spherical symmetrisation are given. That is, a characterisation for the uniqueness (up to orthogonal transformations) of the extremals is provided. This is…
Test ideals were first introduced by Mel Hochster and Craig Huneke in their celebrated theory of tight closure, and since their invention have been closely tied to the theory of Frobenius splittings. Subsequently, test ideals have also…
We provide an introduction to the old-standing problem of isometric immersions. We combine a historical account of its multifaceted advances, which have fascinated geometers and analysts alike, with some of the applications in the…
The exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model by Onsager in 1944 represents one of the landmarks in theoretical physics. On the occassion of the fifty years of the exact solution, we give a historical review of this model. After…
We solve the problem of best approximation by partial isometries of given rank to an arbitrary rectangular matrix, when the distance is measured in any unitarily invariant norm. In the case where the norm is strictly convex, we parametrize…
Gromov introduced the notion of a pyramid as a generalization of a metric measure space, based on the idea of the concentration of measure phenomenon. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a direct sum of pyramids, which naturally…
In this paper, we extend the notion of orthogonality to the general elements of an absolute matrix order unit space and relate it to the orthogonality among positive elements. We introduce the notion of a partial isometry in an absolute…
We introduce and geometrically characterize the notion of uniformly perfect Morse boundary for proper geodesic metric spaces. As a unifying result, we prove that the Morse boundary of any finitely generated, non-elementary group is…
In 1964, Michael Edelstein presented an amazing affine isometry acting on the space of square-summable sequences. This operator has no fixed points, but a suborbit that converges to 0 while another escapes in norm to infinity! We revisit,…
Perfectoid spaces are sophisticated objects in arithmetic geometry introduced by Peter Scholze in 2012. We formalised enough definitions and theorems in topology, algebra and geometry to define perfectoid spaces in the Lean theorem prover.…
We revisit some ideas of K.-M.~Perfekt who has provided an elegant framework to detect the biduality between function or sequence spaces defined in terms of some $o$- resp.\ $O$-condition. We present new proofs under somewhat weaker…
Tight-spans of metrics were first introduced by Isbell in 1964 and rediscovered and studied by others, most notably by Dress, who gave them this name. Subsequently, it was found that tight-spans could be defined for more general maps, such…
We clarify and discuss a misunderstanding between uniform completeness and metric completeness, that has appeared in the literature in a study on the Alexandrov topology for a spacetime.
The pentagram map was introduced by R. Schwartz in 1992 for convex planar polygons. Recently, V. Ovsienko, R. Schwartz, and S. Tabachnikov proved Liouville integrability of the pentagram map for generic monodromies by providing a Poisson…
We extend Michel's theorem on the geometry of symmetry breaking [L. Michel, {\it Comptes Rendus Acad. Sci. Paris} {\bf 272-A} (1971), 433-436] to the case of pure gauge theories, i.e. of gauge-invariant functionals defined on the space…
The subject of these Notes is the new proof, proposed in [F. H{\'e}lein, In{\'e}galit{\'e} isop{\'e}rim{\'e}trique et calibrations, Annales de l'Institut Fourier 44, 4 (1994), 1211-1218] of the classical isoperimetric inequality in the…
We develop a theory of perfect algebraic spaces that extend the so-called perfect schemes to the setting of algebraic spaces. We prove several desired properties of perfect algebraic spaces. This extends some previous results of perfect…
