We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…
We study compactness and boundedness of embeddings from Sobolev type spaces on metric spaces into $L^q$ spaces with respect to another measure. The considered Sobolev spaces can be of fractional order and some statements allow also…
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…
We use algebraic topology to investigate local curvature properties of the moduli spaces of gauged vortices on a closed Riemann surface. After computing the homotopy type of the universal cover of the moduli spaces (which are symmetric…
We describe a canonical compactification of a polyhedral complex in Euclidean space. When the recession cones of the polyhedral complex form a fan, the compactified polyhedral complex is a subspace of a tropical toric variety. In this case,…
A compactification of Fell is applied to locally compact non-Hausdorff groupoids and yields locally compact Hausdorff groupoids. In the etale case, this construction provides a geometric picture for the left-regular representations…
We study sets of univariate hyperbolic polynomials that share the same first few coefficients and show that they have a natural combinatorial description akin to that of polytopes. We define a stratification of such sets in terms of root…
For n bodies moving in Euclidean d-space under the influence of a homogeneous pair interaction we compactify every center-of-mass energy surface, obtaining a 2d(n -1)-1 - dimensional manifold with corners in the sense of Melrose. After a…
In this note, we establish the dihedral rigidity phenomenon for a collection of parabolic polyhedrons enclosed by horospheres in hyperbolic manifolds, extending Gromov's comparison theory to metrics with negative scalar curvature lower…
This paper uses monads and comonads to establish a certain type of equivalence between two subcategories, one reflective and one coreflective, in a category whose objects represent compactifications of non-compact locally compact Hausdorff…
We review warped compactifications of superstring theory with some attention to the limit in which these resemble "bottom-up" phenomenological models. In addition to some discussion of the original Klebanov-Witten and Klebanov-Strassler…
We investigate harmonic maps from weighted graphs into metric spaces that locally admit unique centers of gravity, like Alexandrov spaces with upper curvature bounds. We prove an existence result by constructing an iterative geometric…
We study the superpotential for the heterotic string compactified on non-Kahler complex manifolds. We show that many of the geometrical properties of these manifolds can be understood from the proposed superpotential. In particular we give…
This paper is one in a series that investigates topological measures on locally compact spaces. A topological measure is a set function which is finitely additive on the collection of open and compact sets, inner regular on open sets, and…
Filling invariants are measurements of a metric space describing the behaviour of isoperimetric inequalities. In this article we examine filling functions and higher divergence functions. We prove for a class of stratified nilpotent Lie…
Nonuniform tubular neighborhoods of curves in Euclidean n-space are studied by using weighted distance functions and generalizing the normal exponential map. Different notions of injectivity radii are introduced to investigate singular but…
Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…
In this paper, we investigate certain graded-commutative rings which are related to the reciprocal plane compactification of the coordinate ring of a complement of a hyperplane arrangement. We give a presentation of these rings by…
The aim of the paper is to characterize (pre)compactness in the spaces of Lipschitz/H\"older continuous mappings acting from a compact metric space to a normed space. To this end some extensions and generalizations of already existing…
In this paper, we prove that unital homomorphisms from continuous functions on a compact metric space to matrices over a C*-algebra with tracial rank at most one are approximately diagonalizable. We also consider some generalizations of…
