Let $X$ be a real Banach space. A subset $B$ of the dual unit sphere of $X$ is said to be a boundary for $X$, if every element of $X$ attains its norm on some functional in $B$. The well-known Boundary Problem originally posed by Godefroy…

We show that the borderline cases in the proof of the positive energy theorem for initial data sets, on spin manifolds, in dimensions $n\ge 3$, are only possible for initial data arising from embeddings in Minkowski space-time.

Geometric quantiles are location parameters which extend classical univariate quantiles to normed spaces (possibly infinite-dimensional) and which include the geometric median as a special case. The infinite-dimensional setting is highly…

While exploring dynamical systems, we often come across the principle of contraction mapping, or better known as the Banach fixed point theorem. It is an essential concept based on successive approximation, whose utility comes from two main…

We consider initial data for extreme vacuum asymptotically flat black holes with $\mathbb{R} \times U(1)^2$ symmetry. Such geometries are critical points of a mass functional defined for a wide class of asymptotically flat, `$(t-\phi^i)$'…

Existing concentration bounds for bounded vector-valued random variables include extensions of the scalar Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities. While the latter is typically tighter, it requires knowing a bound on the variance of the random…
