We prove that the magnitude (co)homology of an enriched category can, under some technical assumptions, be described in terms of derived functors between certain abelian categories. We show how this statement is specified for the cases of…

Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices have been widely used in medical data analysis and a number of different Riemannian met-rics were proposed to compute with them. However, there are very few methodological principles guiding the…

The use of persistent homology in applications is justified by the validity of certain stability results. At the core of such results is a notion of distance between the invariants that one associates with data sets. Here we introduce a…

The current system of stellar magnitudes first introduced by Hipparchus was strictly defined by Norman Robert Pogson in 1856. He based his system on Ptolemy's star catalogue `Almagest', recorded in about 137 A.D., and defined the…

Dubickas and Smyth defined the metric Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of non-zero algebraic numbers. The definition involves taking an infimum over representations of an algebraic number $\alpha$ by other algebraic numbers. We…

We give sufficient conditions for a finite metric space to be determined by the magnitude function. In particular, a generic finite metric space such that the distances between the points are rationally independent is determined by the…

I first give a succinct account of the MOND paradigm--emphasizing the centrality of scale invariance in the nonrelativistic, deep-MOND limit--and describing rudiments of its phenomenology. I then present my credo, and some generalities,…

Apparent magnitudes are important for high precision cosmology. It is generally accepted that weak gravitational lensing does not affect the relationship between apparent magnitude and redshift. By considering metric perturbations it is…

In this article, we show that each two metric fibrations with a common base and a common fiber have isomorphic magnitude homology, and even more, the same magnitude homotopy type. That can be considered as a generalization of a fact proved…

It is often inevitable to introduce an indefinite-metric space in quantum field theory, for example, which is explained for the sake of the manifestly covariant quantization of the electromagnetic field. We show two more evident…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. In a recent paper, Dubickas and Smyth constructed a metric version of the Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Later, Fili and the…

Natural objects can be subject to various transformations yet still preserve properties that we refer to as invariants. Here, we use definitions of affine invariant arclength for surfaces in R^3 in order to extend the set of existing…

For an algebraic number $\alpha$ we denote by $M(\alpha)$ the Mahler measure of $\alpha$. As $M(\alpha)$ is again an algebraic number (indeed, an algebraic integer), $M(\cdot)$ is a self-map on $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and therefore defines…

Metric mean dimension is a geometric invariant of dynamical systems with infinite topological entropy. We relate this concept with the fractal structure of the phase space and the H\"older regularity of the map. Afterwards we improve our…

The magnitude of a metric space is a real-valued function whose parameter controls the scale of the metric. A metric space is said to have the one-point property if its magnitude converges to 1 as the space is scaled down to a point. Not…

We first consider interval partitions whose complements are Lebesgue-null and introduce a complete metric that induces the same topology as the Hausdorff distance (between complements). This is done using correspondences between intervals.…

In 2017, Nikiforov introduced the concept of the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix, as a linear convex combination of the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of a graph. This matrix has attracted increasing attention in recent years, as it…

The magnitude of finite categories is a generalization of the Euler characteristic. It is defined using the coarse incidence algebra of rational-valued functions on the given finite category, and a distinguished element in this algebra: the…
