We give a characterization of metric spaces quasisymmetrically equivalent to a finitely connected circle domain. This result generalizes the uniformization of Ahlfors 2-regular spaces by Merenkov and Wildrick.
When $X$ is locally compact, a quasi-integral (also called a quasi-linear functional) on $ C_c(X)$ is a homogeneous, positive functional that is only assumed to be linear on singly-generated subalgebras. We study simple and almost simple…
For any pair of bounded observables $A$ and $B$ with pure point spectra, we construct an associated "joint observable" which gives rise to a notion of a joint (projective) measurement of $A$ and $B$, and which conforms to the intuition that…
An improved version of quasiinvariance property of the quasihyperbolic metric under M\"obius transformations of the unit ball in ${\mathbb R}^n, n \ge 2,$ is given. Next, a quasiinvariance property, sharp in a local sense, of the…
Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y),\] and set $M(X) = \sup…
Let $\Omega$ be a planar Jordan domain. We consider double-dome-like surfaces $\Sigma$ defined by graphs of functions of $dist( \cdot ,\partial \Omega)$ over $\Omega$. The goal is to find the right conditions on the geometry of the base…
We say A is a quasi-normal subgroup of the group G if the commensurator of A in G is all of G. We develop geometric versions of commensurators in finitely generated groups. In particular, g is an element of the commensurator of A in G iff…
In this paper, we use some standard numerical techniques to approximate the hypergeometric function $$ {}_2F_1[a,b;c;x]=1+\frac{ab}{c}x+\frac{a(a+1)b(b+1)}{c(c+1)}\frac{x^2}{2!}+\cdots $$ for a range of parameter triples $(a,b,c)$ on the…
We discuss five simple functions on finite multisets of metric spaces. The first four are all metrics iff the underlying space is bounded and are complete metrics iff it is also complete. Two of them, and the fifth function, all generalise…
We construct a class of real-valued nonnegative binary functions on a set of jointly distributed random variables, which satisfy the triangle inequality and vanish at identical arguments (pseudo-quasi-metrics). These functions are useful in…
A branch of generalizations of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem replaces contractivity by a weaker but still effective property. The aim of the present note is to extend the contraction principle in this spirit for such complete semimetric…
We show that if a domain D in a geodesic metric space is quasimobius to a uniform domain in some metric space, then D is also uniform.
This survey studies pairs $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with $G$ a finitely generated group and $\mathcal{P}$ a (finite) collection of subgroups of $G$. We explore the notion of quasi-isometry of such pairs and the notion of a qi-characteristic…
Recently we have shown that the equivalence classes of metrics on the double of a metric space $X$ form an inverse semigroup. Here we define an inverse subsemigroup related to a family of isometric subspaces of $X$, which is more…
We survey the recent developments in the theory of quasireg- ular mappings in metric spaces. In particular, we study the geometric porosity of the branch set of quasiregular mappings in general metric measure spaces, and then, introduce the…
We prove that isometries in a conformally invariant metric of a general domain are quasiconformal. In the particular case of the punctured space, we prove that isometries in this metric are Mobius, thus resolving a conjecture of Ferrand,…
Estimation of density functions supported on general domains arises when the data is naturally restricted to a proper subset of the real space. This problem is complicated by typically intractable normalizing constants. Score matching…
In this paper, we address the problem of approximating a multivariate function defined on a general domain in $d$ dimensions from sample points. We consider weighted least-squares approximation in an arbitrary finite-dimensional space $P$…
The generalized metric is a T-duality covariant symmetric matrix constructed from the metric and two-form gauge field and arises in generalized geometry. We view it here as a metric on the doubled spacetime and use it to give a simple…
A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and…
