We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will…
Lipman et al. [ACM Transactions on Graphics 29 (3) (2010), 1--11] introduced the concept of biharmonic distance to measure the distances between pairs of points on a 3D surface. Biharmonic distance has some advantages over resistance…
These lecture notes provide an introduction to the theory and application of symmetry methods for ordinary differential equations, building on minimal prerequisites. Their primary purpose is to enable a quick and self-contained approach for…
This text is a short but comprehensive introduction to the basics of supergeometry and includes some of the recent advances in colored supergeometry. We do not aim for a standard text that states results and proves them more or less…
General estimates from below of holomorphic and subharmonic functions play one of the key roles in the theory of growth of holomorphic and subharmonic functions and in general in the theory of potential. At the same time, the most diverse…
We present an analogue to the Majorisation Theorem of Reshetnyak in the setting of Lorentzian length spaces with upper curvature bounds: given two future-directed timelike rectifiable curves $\alpha$ and $\beta$ with the same endpoints in a…
We study shortest paths and their distances on a subset of a Euclidean space, and their approximation by their equivalents in a neighborhood graph defined on a sample from that subset. In particular, we recover and extend the results of…
We establish tight bi-Lipschitz bounds certifying quasi-universality (universality up to a constant factor) for various distances between Reeb graphs: the interleaving distance, the functional distortion distance, and the functional…
The purpose of this paper is to give a survey on the notions of distance between subsets either of a metric space or of a measure space, including definitions, a classification, and a discussion of the best-known distance functions, which…
In this paper we study global distance estimates and uniform local volume estimates in a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main device is the generalized curvature dimension inequality introduced by the first and the third author…
The Levenshtein distance is an important tool for the comparison of symbolic sequences, with many appearances in genome research, linguistics and other areas. For efficient applications, an approximation by a distance of smaller…
These lectures contain an introduction to supersymmetric theories and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Phenomenological and cosmological consequences of supersymmetry are also discussed.
These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.
These series of notes serve as an introduction to some of both the classical and modern techniques in Reifenberg theory. At its heart, Reifenberg theory is about studying general sets or measures which can be, in one sense or another,…
For non-empty sets X we define notions of distance and pseudo metric with values in a partially ordered set that has a smallest element $\theta $. If $h_X$ is a distance in $X$ (respectively, a pseudo metric in $X$), then the pair $(X,h_X)$…
An extension of the theory of General Relativity is proposed, based on pseudo-complex space-time coordinates. The new theory corresponds to the introduction of two, in general different, metrics which are connected through specific…
The aim of the present article is to give an introduction to the concept of quasi-unitary equivalence and to define several (pseudo-)metrics on the space of self-adjoint operators acting possibly in different Hilbert spaces. As some of the…
Let $C$ be a proper convex cone generated by a compact set which supports a measure $\mu$. A construction due to A.Barvinok, E.Veomett and J.B. Lasserre produces, using $\mu$, a sequence $(P_k)_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ of nested spectrahedral…
This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Summer term 2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. It covers a few selected topics from perturbation theory at an introductory…
This article aims to explain essential elements of perturbation theory and their conceptual underpinnings. It is not meant as a summary of popular perturbation methods, though some illustrative examples are given to underline the main…
