Following a recent suggestion by Randall and Sundrum, we consider string compactification scenarios in which a compact slice of AdS-space arises as a subspace of the compactification manifold. A specific example is provided by the type II…
The goal of this paper is to study the geometry of cusped complex hyperbolic manifolds through their compactifications. We characterize toroidal compactifications with non-nef canonical divisor. We derive effective very ampleness results…
We construct a compactification of the moduli space of Drinfeld modules of rank $r$ and level $N$ as a moduli space of $A$-reciprocal maps. This is closely related to the Satake compactification, but not exactly the same. The construction…
We reformulate dimensional regularization as a regularization method in position space and show that it can be used to give a closed expression for the renormalized time-ordered products as solutions to the induction scheme of…
The aim of this paper is to show how the homotopy type of compact metric spaces can be reconstructed by the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of finite approximations of the corresponding space. This recovering allows us to define…
In our previous paper [9], we have introduced topological nearly entropy, Ent_N (f) by restricting X into a class of nearly compact spaces. In the present paper, some additional properties of this notion are studied. Furthermore, we…
The goal of this thesis is to study the use of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance as to build a descriptor of sample complexity in classification problems. The idea is to use the fact that the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance is a metric in…
The renormalized volume of hyperbolic manifolds is a quantity motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence of string theory and computed via a certain regularization procedure. The main aim of the present paper is to elucidate its geometrical…
We study the boundary of Teichmueller disks in a partial compactification of Teichmueller space, and their image in Schottky space. We give a broad introduction to Teichmueller disks and explain the relation between Teichmueller curves and…
There are several Teichm\"uller spaces associated to a surface of infinite topological type, after the choice of a particular basepoint (a complex or a hyperbolic structure on the surface). These spaces include the quasiconformal…
In this paper, the Teichm{\"u}ller spaces of surfaces appear from two points of views: the conformal category and the hyperbolic category. In contrast to the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, the Teichm{\"u}ller spaces…
We find the bosonic sector of the gauged supergravities that are obtained from 11-dimensional supergravity by Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction with flux to any dimension D. We show that, if certain obstructions are absent, the…
Thurston introduced in his seminal work an asymmetric metric on Teichm\"uller space by the ratio of simple closed curve length. In this paper, we generalize the idea and define an asymmetric metric on the space of unit-area flat metrics…
We generalize an inequality of E. Heintze and H. Karcher [8] for the volume of tubes around minimal submanifolds to an inequality based on integral bounds for $k$-Ricci curvature. Even in the case of a pointwise bound, this generalizes the…
We discuss how one uses the thermodynamic formalism to produce metrics on higher Teichm\"uller spaces. Our higher Teichm\"uller spaces will be spaces of Anosov representations of a word-hyperbolic group into a semi-simple Lie group. We…
In a series of papers, we investigate the reformulation of Epstein-Glaser renormalization in coordinate space, both in analytic and Hopf algebraic terms. This first article deals with analytical aspects. Some of the historically good…
The classical Reifenberg's theorem says that a set which is sufficiently well approximated by planes uniformly at all scales is a topological H\"older manifold. Remarkably, this generalizes to metric spaces, where the approximation by…
There are several compactification procedures in topology, but there is only one standard discretization, namely, replacing the original topology with the discrete topology. We give a notion of discretization which is dual (in categorical…
Spacetimes obtained by dimensional reduction along lattices containing a lightlike direction can admit semigroup extensions of their isometry groups. We show by concrete examples that such a semigroup can exhibit a natural order, which in…
We reinterpret the renormalized volume as the asymptotic difference of the isoperimetric profiles for convex co-compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds. By similar techniques we also prove a sharp Minkowski inequality for horospherically convex sets…
