For a topological space $X$ we study continuous maps $f : X\to \mathbb R^m$ such that images of every pairwise distinct $k$ points are affinely (linearly) independent. Such maps are called affinely (linearly) $k$-regular embeddings. We…
We present a framework for characterizing injectivity of classes of maps (on cosets of a linear subspace) by injectivity of classes of matrices. Using our formalism, we characterize injectivity of several classes of maps, including…
There are various concepts of structure preserving mappings in geometry. It is the aim of the present paper to give a survey on geometrical characterizations of some of those mappings. We discuss the results for projective spaces in some…
We give a simple analytic criterion which characterizes linearizable 1-codimensional webs. Then we give an invariant geometrical interpretation of it, in term of projective connection. We explain then how our approach allows to study…
We study fixed points of iterates of dynamically affine maps (a generalisation of Latt\`es maps) over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We present and study certain hypotheses that imply a dichotomy for the…
Extension dimension is characterized in terms of $\omega$-maps. We apply this result to prove that extension dimension is preserved by refinable maps between metrizable spaces. It is also shown that refinable maps preserve some…
Let ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We consider linear maps $\Phi: {\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \rightarrow {\bf M}_r(\mathbb{F})$ preserving matrices annihilated by a fixed…
Affine geometry is usually regarded as a framework in which metric notions such as distance and angle are absent. However, just as projective geometry produces various metric geometries by introducing additional structures on the line at…
The affinely regular polygons in certain planar sets are characterized. It is also shown that the obtained results apply to cyclotomic model sets and, additionally, have consequences in the discrete tomography of these sets.
We study convolutional neural networks with monomial activation functions. Specifically, we prove that their parameterization map is regular and is an isomorphism almost everywhere, up to rescaling the filters. By leveraging on tools from…
One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…
We prove that, if the closed unit ball of a normed space $X$ has sufficiently many extreme points, then every mapping $\Phi$ from $X$ into itself with the following property is affine: For any pair of points in $X$, there exists a (not…
In this paper, two-to-one mappings and involutions without any fixed point on finite fields of even characteristic are investigated. First, we characterize a closed relationship between them by implicit functions and develop an AGW-like…
A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear (affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map $\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the interpolation property are extended. We…
We show how the theory of affine geometries over the ring ${\mathbb Z}/\langle q - 1\rangle$ can be used to understand the properties of toric and generalized toric codes over ${\mathbb F}_q$. The minimum distance of these codes is strongly…
Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers with $n \geq p\geq r$. A rank-$\overline{r}$ subset of $n$ by $p$ matrices (with entries in a field) is a subset in which every matrix has rank less than or equal to $r$. A classical theorem of Flanders…
A 2-dimensional framework is a straight line realisation of a graph in the Euclidean plane. It is radically solvable if the set of vertex coordinates is contained in a radical extension of the field of rationals extended by the squared edge…
Diversities are an extension of the concept of a metric space which assign a non-negative value to every finite set of points, rather than just pairs. A general theory of diversities has been developed which exhibits many deep analogies to…
We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…
