In the symplectic realm, a distance between open starshaped domains in Liouville manifolds was recently defined. This is the symplectic Banach-Mazur distance. It was proposed by Ostrover and Polterovich and developed by Ostrover,…

We present several results providing lower bounds for the Banach-Mazur distance \[d_{BM}(C(K), C(L))\] between Banach spaces of continuous functions on compact spaces. The main focus is on the case where $C(L)$ represents the classical…

Following proposals of Ostrover and Polterovich, we introduce and study "coarse" and "fine" versions of a symplectic Banach-Mazur distance on certain open subsets of $\mathbb{C}^n$ and other open Liouville domains. The coarse version…

We use persistence modules and their corresponding barcodes to quantitatively distinguish between different fiberwise star-shaped domains in the cotangent bundle of a fixed manifold. The distance between two fiberwise star-shaped domains is…

We establish some results on the Banach-Mazur distance in small dimensions. Specifically, we determine the Banach-Mazur distance between the cube and its dual (the cross-polytope) in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^4$. In dimension three…

In this working note we study the one-sided positive Banach-Mazur distance between some pairs of $C(K)$ Banach spaces. Building on methods developed in [4], we solve, in particular, one of the problems posed in [2].

We study the metric entropy of the metric space $B_n$ of all n-dimensional Banach spaces (the so-called Banach-Mazur compactum) equipped with the Banach-Mazur (multiplicative) "distance" $d$. We are interested either in estimates…

We determine certain Banach-Mazur distances involving $\ell_p$-direct sums of finite-dimensional real normed spaces and related cone constructions of convex bodies. Using a recent characterization of the optimal Banach-Mazur position with…

Let $C$ and $D$ be convex bodies in the Euclidean space $E^d$. We define the centroid Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D)$ similarly to the classic Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM} (C, D)$, but with the extra requirement…

We consider the variant of the Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D)$ of two convex bodies $C, D$ of $E^d$ with the additional requirement that the centroids of them coincide. We prove that $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D) \leq…

We study the Banach-Mazur distance between random normed spaces generated by centrally symmetric random polytopes associated with isotropic log-concave measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that, in a wide range of parameters, if…

The maximum of the Banach-Mazur distance $d_{BM}^M(X,\ell_\infty^n)$, where $X$ ranges over the set of all $n$-dimensional real Banach spaces, is difficult to compute. In fact, it is already not easy to get the maximum of…

In order to measure qualitative properties we introduce a notion of a type for arbitrary normed spaces which measures the worst possible growth of partial sums of sequences weakly converging to zero. The ideas can be traced back to Banach…

In this note we study the Banach-Mazur distance between the $n$-dimensional cube and the crosspolytope. Previous work shows that the distance has order $\sqrt{n}$, and here we will prove some explicit bounds improving on former results.…

The interdependence of luminosity distance, $D_L$ and angular diameter distance, $D_A$ given by the distance duality relation (DDR) is very significant in observational cosmology. It is very closely tied with the temperature- redshift…

For a Banach D-bimodule M over an abelian unital C*-algebra D, we define E(M) as the collection of norm-one eigenvectors for the dual action of D on the Banach space dual of M. Equip E(M) with the weak-* topology. We develop general…

Upper estimates of the diameter and the radius of the family of all planar convex bodies with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance are obtained. Namely, it is shown that the diameter does not exceed $\tfrac{19-\sqrt{73}}4\approx 2.614$,…

This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and contact topology in any dimension and continues this study in dimension 3. Specifically we provide a lower bound for the radius of a geodesic ball in a contact…

For any holomorphic function $f\colon X\to \mathbb{C}$ on a complex manifold $X$, we define and study moderate growth and rapid decay objects associated to an enhanced ind-sheaf on $X$. These will be sheaves on the real oriented blow-up…

The conventional classification of direct band-gap semiconductors relies on point-like extrema in momentum space. Here, we introduce the concept of domain-direct band gaps, where the conduction-band minimum (CBM) and valence-band maximum…
