We show that a certain simply-stated notion of "analytic completeness" of the image of a real analytic map implies the map admits no analytic extension. We also give a useful criterion for that notion of analytic completeness by defining…

The Gauss map $g$ of a surface $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ takes its values in the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes of $\mathbb{R}^4$: $G^+(2,4)$. We give geometric criteria of stability for minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ in terms of…

We consider injectivity and surjectivity of some maps on the exterior algebra of isomorphic finite-dimensional vector spaces. We prove the properties of the maps in full generality, for any dimension of the vector space and any subspace. We…

We consider the restriction of interval exchange transformations to algebraic number fields, which leads to maps on lattices. We characterize renormalizability arithmetically, and study its relationships with a geometrical quantity that we…

We define a Gauss map for surfaces in the universal cover of the Lie group PSL_2(R) endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric having a 4-dimensional isometry group. This Gauss map is not related to the Lie group structure. We prove…

Let A be a C*-algebra and d from A into A** be a continuous linear map. We assume that d acts like derivation or anti-derivation at orthogonal elements for several types of orthogonality conditions such as ab=0, ab*=0, ab=ba=0 and…

We study optimal transportation with the quadratic cost function in geodesic metric spaces satisfying suitable non-branching assumptions. We introduce and study the notions of slope along curves and along geodesics and we apply the latter…

In the same spirit as done for N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric non-linear $\si$ models in 2 space-time dimensions by Zumino and Alvarez- Gaum\'e and Freedman, we analyse the (2,0) and (4,0) heterotic geometry in holomorphic coordinates. We study…

To produce cartographic maps, simplification is typically used to reduce complexity of the map to a legible level. With schematic maps, however, this simplification is pushed far beyond the legibility threshold and is instead constrained by…

Let $(M,g)$ be a simple Riemannian manifold. Under the assumption that the metric $g$ is real-analytic, it is shown that if the geodesic ray transform of a function $f\in L^{2}(M)$ vanishes on an appropriate open set of geodesics, then…

This paper propose a novel decomposable graphical model to accommodate skew Gaussian graphical models. We encode conditional independence structure among the components of the multivariate closed skew normal random vector by means of a…

We provide a short proof that an $L^2_1$ and $J$-holomorphic curve is in fact smooth. As an application, we deduce a removal of singularity theorem for curves of finite energy.

In this paper we study fundamental properties of geodesic mappings with respect to the smoothness class of metrics. We show that geodesic mappings preserve the smoothness class of metrics. We study geodesic mappings of Einstein spaces.

Given any arbitrary semi-algebraic set $X$, any two points in $X$ may be joined by a piecewise $C^2$ path $\gamma$ of shortest length. Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a semi-algebraic stratification of $X$ such that each component of $\gamma \cap…

A problem of completing a linear map on C*-algebras to a completely positive map is analyzed. It is shown that whenever such a completion is feasible there exists a unique minimal completion. This theorem is used to show that under some…

The geometric mean of two matrices is considered and analyzed from a computational viewpoint. Some useful theoretical properties are derived and an analysis of the conditioning is performed. Several numerical algorithms based on different…

Suppose that the surfaces K0 and Kr are the boundaries of two convex, complete, connected C^2 bodies in R^3. Assume further that the (Euclidean) distance between any point x in Kr and K0 is always r (r > 0). For x in Kr, let {\Pi}(x) denote…

We introduce slant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of slant immersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps. We give examples, obtain characterizations and…

We give a rational form of a generic two-dimensional "quad" map, containing the so-called $Q_4$ case, but whose coefficients are free. Its integrability is proved using the calculation of algebraic entropy.

For a semibounded sesquilinear form ${\mathfrak t}$ in a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ there exists a representing map $Q$ from ${\mathfrak H}$ to another Hilbert space ${\mathfrak K}$, such that ${\mathfrak t}[\varphi, \psi]-c(\varphi,…
