Here we consider piecewise fractional linear maps with three branches. The paper presents a study of invariant measures with densities which can be written as infinite series. These series either have infinitely many poles or they sum up to…
By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…
In this article, we introduce the notion of good map and use it to establish Gromov-Witten theory for orbifolds.
In this paper we study one-dimensional sections of the maps of WMAP ILC and of the NVSS survey on scale lengths of 0.75, 3, 4.5, and 6.75 degrees and analyze the correlation properties of the sections. On these maps we identify the domains…
We survey old and new results on the existence of moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves both in algebraic and in complex geometry.
We use Gromov's K--area to define a generalized homology theory on compact smooth manifolds. In fact, this theory collects obstructions to the enlargeability of the manifold and its nontrivial submanifolds. Moreover, using the K--area…
Comparisons on $L^{n\over 2}$-norms of scalar curvatures between Riemannian metrics and standard metrics are obtained. The metrics are restricted to conformal classes or under certain curvature conditions.
We construct and investigate smooth orientable surfaces in su(N) algebras. The structural equations of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models on Minkowski space are studied using moving frames adapted to the surfaces. The first…
Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…
In this paper, we employ quotients of Roe algebras as index containers for elliptic differential operators to study the existence problem of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. The…
This survey article on bivariant Kasparov theory and E-theory is mainly intended for readers with a background in homotopical algebra and category theory. We approach both bivariant K-theories via their universal properties and equip them…
Cumulant mapping employs a statistical reconstruction of the whole by sampling its parts. The theory developed in this work formalises and extends ad hoc methods of `multi-fold' or `multi-dimensional' covariance mapping. Explicit formulae…
In this paper we provide extensions of the $\lambda$-Lemma (also known as Inclination Lemma) for piecewise smooth vector fields and maps. In order to achieve our main result, we investigate the regularity of time-T-maps of piecewise smooth…
We discuss the partition function point of view for chordal Schramm-Loewner evolutions and their relationship with correlation functions in conformal field theory. Both are closely related to crossing probabilities and interfaces in…
This paper gives some relating results for various concepts of convexity in metric spaces such as midpoint convexity, convex structure, uniform convexity and near-uniform convexity, Busemann curvature and its relation to convexity. Some…
A distortion theory is developed for $S-$unimodal maps. It will be used to get some geometric understanding of invariant Cantor sets. In particular attracting Cantor sets turn out to have Lebesgue measure zero. Furthermore the ergodic…
This is a survey of results on positivity of vector bundles, inspired by the Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'ekopa theorems. Applications to complex analysis, K\"ahler geometry and algebraic geometry are also discussed.
The Schouten tensor \ $A$ \ of a Riemannian manifold \ $(M,g)$ provides important scalar curvature invariants $\sigma_k$, that are the symmetric functions on the eigenvalues of $A$, where, in particular, $\sigma_1$ \ coincides with the…
We discuss a structural approach to subset-sum problems in additive combinatorics. The core of this approach are Freiman-type structural theorems, many of which will be presented through the paper. These results have applications in various…
The $c$-curvature of a complete surface with Gauss curvature close to 1 in $C^2$ norm is almost-positive (in the sense of Kim--McCann). Our proof goes by a careful case by case analysis combined with perturbation arguments from the constant…
