Let $X$ be a product of locally compact rank one Hadamard spaces and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries which contains two elements projecting to a pair of independent rank one isometries in each factor. In [arXiv:1308.5584] we gave a…
In differential topology and geometry, the h-principle is a property enjoyed by certain construction problems. Roughly speaking, it states that the only obstructions to the existence of a solution come from algebraic topology. We describe a…

A construction of prismatic Hardy space infinite elements to discretize wave equations on unbounded domains $\Omega$ in $H^1_{loc}(\Omega)$, $H_{loc}(curl;\Omega)$ and $H_{loc}(div;\Omega)$ is presented. As our motivation is to solve…
This paper is devoted to the construction of finite elements on grids that consist of general quadrilaterals not limited in parallelograms. Two finite elements defined as Ciarlet's triple are established for the $H^1$ and $H(\rm rot)$…
We consider the lowest--degree nonconforming finite element methods for the approximation of elliptic problems in high dimensions. The $P_1$--nonconforming polyhedral finite element is introduced for any high dimension. Our finite element…
The stability, robustness, accuracy, and efficiency of space-time finite element methods crucially depend on the choice of approximation spaces for test and trial functions. This is especially true for high-order, mixed finite element…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a generalization of the bubble transform to differential forms. The bubble transform was discussed in a previous paper by the authors for scalar valued functions, or zero-forms, and represents a new…
For a hypersurface V of a conformal space, we introduce a conformal differential invariant I = h^2/g, where g and h are the first and the second fundamental forms of V connected by the apolarity condition. This invariant is called the…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…
We study the approximation properties of a wide class of finite element differential forms on curvilinear cubic meshes in n dimensions. Specifically, we consider meshes in which each element is the image of a cubical reference element under…
We introduce a new variant of Nodal Virtual Element spaces that mimics the "Serendipity Finite Element Methods" (whose most popular example is the 8-node quadrilateral) and allows to reduce (often in a significant way) the number of…
A family of mixed finite elements is proposed for solving the first order system of linear elasticity equations in any space dimension, where the stress field is approximated by symmetric finite element tensors. This family of elements has…
