This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

We consider the popular and classical method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets. By situating the algorithm in a metric space, equipped only with well-behaved geodesics and angles (in the…

Our basic element is a $C^1$ mapping $f:X\to Y$, with $X,Y$ Banach spaces, and with derivative everywhere invertible. So $f$ is a local diffeomorphism at every point. The aim of this paper is to find a sufficient condition for $f$ to be…

We investigate the enumerative geometry of point configurations in projective space. We define "projective configuration counts": these enumerate configurations of points in projective space such that certain specified subsets are in fixed…

Let X be a smooth projective surface over C and let L be an ample line bundle on X. In this note, we show that, for all sufficiently large d, any number of general double points on X imposes the expected number of conditions on the linear…

We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a Dirac structure on the total space of a Poisson fiber bundle endowed with a compatible connection. We also show that Cartan and Cartan-Hannay-Berry connections give rise to coupling Dirac…

Under some positivity assumptions, extension properties of rationally connected fibrations from a submanifold to its ambient variety are studied. Given a family of rational curves on a complex projective manifold X inducing a covering…

Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces, $(S_t)_{t \geq 0}$ a $C_0$-semigroup on $X$, $-A$ the corresponding infinitesimal generator on $X$, $C$ a bounded linear operator from $X$ to $Y$, and $T > 0$. We consider the system \[ \dot{x}(t) = -Ax(t), \quad…

Many years ago John Tyrell a lecturer at King's college London challenged his Ph.D. students with the following puzzle: show that there is a unique triangle of minimal perimeter with exactly one vertex to lie on one of three given lines,…

In this article, we examine the theorem of Mattila establishing rectifiability for regular sets in the setting of strictly convex, finite-dimensional Banach spaces.

Formation of stationary localized states in one-dimensional chain as well as in a Cayley tree due to a linear impurity and a nonlinear impurity is studied. Furthermore, a one-dimensional chain with linear and nonlinear site energies at the…

Let $\mathbbm{P}^{1,an}$ be the Berkovich projective line over a complete, algebraically closed, non-Archimedean field. Let $\phi$ be a degree $\geq 2$ rational map with potential good reduction, acting on $\mathbbm{P}^{1,an}$. In this…

This paper considers the task of connecting points on a piece of paper by drawing a curve between each pair of them. Under mild assumptions, we prove that many pairwise disjoint curves are unavoidable if either of the following rules is…

Using the setting of $G$-metric spaces, common fixed point theorems for four maps satisfying the weakly commuting conditions are obtained for various generalized contractive conditions. Several examples are also presented to show the…

In this paper, given two Banach spaces $X, Y$ and a $C^1$ functional $\Phi:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we show that either $\Phi$ has a saddle-point in $X\times Y$ or, for each convex and dense set $S\subseteq Y$,…

We consider a Cauchy problem for an overdetermined system of PDEs, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of this Cauchy problem for all data. As an application, we find all real tube hypersurfaces in complex space…

Let $X,Y$ be two irreducible subvarieties of the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, and $d\geq 1$ an integer number. The main result of this paper is an algorithm to construct {\bf explicitly}, in terms of $d$ and the ideals defining $X$ and…

We study the convex set of all bipartite quantum states with fixed marginal states. The extremal states in this set have recently been characterized by Parthasarathy [Ann. Henri Poincar\'e (to appear), quant-ph/0307182, [1]]. Here we…

We prove an analogue of Kac's Theorem, describing the dimension vectors of indecomposable coherent sheaves, or parabolic bundles, over weighted projective lines. We use a theorem of Peng and Xiao to associate a Lie algebra to the category…

We establish fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions on a metric space (not essentially complete) endowed with an arbitrary binary relation. Our results extend, generalize, modify and unify several known results especially those…
