We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection…

Nielsen's geometric approach offers a powerful framework for quantifying the complexity of unitary transformations. In this formulation, complexity is defined as the length of the minimal geodesic in a suitably constructed geometric space…

A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is geodetic if every vertex of $G$ lies on a shortest path between two vertices in $S$. Given a graph $G$ and $k \in \mathbb N$, the NP-hard Geodetic Set problem asks whether there is a geodetic set of size…

Digital topology has its own working conditions and sometimes differs from the normal topology. In the area of topological robotics, we have important counterexamples in this study to emphasize this red line between a digital image and a…

A half-geodesic is a closed geodesic realizing the distance between any pair of its points. All geodesics in a round sphere are half-geodesics. Conversely, this note establishes that Riemannian spheres with all geodesics closed and…

In this work, we propose to study the global geometrical properties of generative models. We introduce a new Riemannian metric to assess the similarity between any two data points. Importantly, our metric is agnostic to the parametrization…

We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.

Geometric morphisms between realizability toposes are studied in terms of morphisms between partial combinatory algebras (pcas). The morphisms inducing geometric morphisms (the {\em computationally dense\/} ones) are seen to be the ones…

Geodesics are studied in one of the Weyl metrics, referred to as the M--Q solution. First, arguments are provided, supporting our belief that this space--time is the more suitable (among the known solutions of the Weyl family) for…
