This article studies descent theory in the setting of Berkovich spaces. We give sufficient conditions for a given fibered category over the category of k-affinoid algebras to be a stack for the Berkovich analogue of the faithfully-flat…
By a closure space we will mean a pair $(A,\mathcal{C})$, in which $A$ is a set and $\mathcal{C}$ a set of subsets of $A$ closed under arbitrary intersections. The purpose of this paper is to initiate a development of descent theory of…
In this paper, we first study the local rings of a Berkovich analytic space from the point of view of commutative algebra. We show that those rings are excellent ; we introduce the notion of a an analytically separable extension of…
This note surveys basic topological properties of nonarchimedean analytic spaces, in the sense of Berkovich, including the recent tameness results of Hrushovski and Loeser. We also discuss interactions between the topology of nonarchimedean…
Differentiable structure ensures that many of the basics of classical convex analysis extend naturally from Euclidean space to Riemannian manifolds. Without such structure, however, extensions are more challenging. Nonetheless, in…
In this article we give a homological characterization of the topology of Stein spaces over any valued base field. In particular, when working over the field of complex numbers, we obtain a characterization of the usual Euclidean…
In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…
Throughout the paper, an analytic field means a non-archimedean complete real-valued one, and our main objective is to extend to these fields the basic theory of transcendental extensions. One easily introduces a topological analogue of the…
This thesis is an exposition of the author's contribution on effective descent morphisms in various categories of generalized categorical structures. It consists of: Chapter 1, where an elementary description of descent theory and the…
This second part of the paper strengthens the descent theory described in the first part to rational maps, arbitrary base fields, and dynamics given by correspondences. We obtain in particular a decomposition of any difference field…
We study the class of overconvergent subanalytic subsets of a $k$-affinoid space $X$ when $k$ is a non-archimedean field. These are the images along the projection $X \times B^n \to X$ of subsets defined with inequalities between functions…
The starting assumptions to study the convergence and complexity of gradient-type methods may be the smoothness (also called Lipschitz continuity of gradient) and the strong convexity. In this note, we revisit these two basic properties…
There is a construction which lies at the heart of descent theory. The combinatorial aspects of this paper concern the description of the construction in all dimensions. The description is achieved precisely for strict n-categories and…
We identity the optimal non-infinitesimal direction of descent for a convex function. An algorithm is developed that can theoretically minimize a subset of (non-convex) functions.
We draw a connection between the model-theoretic notions of modularity (or one-basedness), orthogonality and internality, as applied to difference fields, and questions of descent in in algebraic dynamics. In particular we prove in any…
We develop a new concept of non-positive curvature for metric spaces, based on intersection patterns of closed balls. In contrast to the synthetic approaches of Alexandrov and Buesemann, our concept also applies to metric spaces that might…
It is known since the works of Zariski that the essential difficulty in the local uniformization problem is met already in the case of valuations of height one. In this paper we prove that local uniformization of schemes and non-archimedean…
We study two variants of the mirror descent-ascent (MDA) algorithm for solving min-max problems on the space of measures: simultaneous and alternating. We work under assumptions of convexity-concavity and relative smoothness of the payoff…
Gradient descent (GD) is a collection of continuous optimization methods that have achieved immeasurable success in practice. Owing to data science applications, GD with diminishing step sizes has become a prominent variant. While this…
We analyze the properties of gradient descent on convex surrogates for the zero-one loss for the agnostic learning of linear halfspaces. If $\mathsf{OPT}$ is the best classification error achieved by a halfspace, by appealing to the notion…
