We rewrite classical topological definitions using the category-theoretic notation of arrows and are led to concise reformulations in terms of simplicial categories and orthogonality of morphisms, which we hope might be of use in the…
We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…
We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…
The dual space of the C*-algebra of bounded uniformly continuous functions on a uniform space carries several natural topologies. One of these is the topology of uniform convergence on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets, or the UEB…
We prove two general decomposition theorems for fixed-point invariants: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar additivity results for these invariants. Moreover, the proofs of…
Index maps taking values in the $K$-theory of a mapping cone are defined and discussed. The resulting index theorem can be viewed in analogy with the Freed-Melrose index theorem. The framework of geometric $K$-homology is used in a…
Von Neumann's original proof of the ergodic theorem is revisited. A uniform convergence rate is established under the assumption that one can control the density of the spectrum of the underlying self-adjoint operator when restricted to…
We prove the existence of a quantum isometry groups for new classes of metric spaces: (i) geodesic metrics for compact connected Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) and (ii) metric spaces admitting a uniformly distributed…
This thesis synthesizes probability and entropic inference with Quantum Mechanics (QM) and quantum measurement [1-6]. It is shown that the standard and quantum relative entropies are tools designed for the purpose of updating probability…
Topological measures and quasi-linear functionals generalize measures and linear functionals. We define and study deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces. A deficient topological measure on a locally compact space is a set…
In this work, we provide an analytical proof of the robustness of topological entanglement under a model of random local perturbations. We define a notion of average topological subsystem purity and show that, in the context of quantum…
This paper is concerned with achieving optimal coherence for highly redundant real unit-norm frames. As the redundancy grows, the number of vectors in the frame becomes too large to admit equiangular arrangements. In this case, other…
What does it mean for a shape to change continuously? Over the space of convex regions, there is only one "reasonable" answer. However, over a broader class of regions, such as the class of star-shaped regions, there can be many different…
Topological order of a topological phase of matter in two spacial dimensions is encoded by a unitary modular (tensor) category (UMC). A group symmetry of the topological phase induces a group symmetry of its corresponding UMC. Gauging is a…
We establish a transversality theorem for multiple-point crossings under generic linear perturbations with explicit Hausdorff measure estimates for the exceptional parameter set, and hence explicit upper bounds on its Hausdorff dimension.…
We prove a Torelli theorem for the moduli space of semistable parabolic Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective algebraic curve under the assumption that the parabolic weight system is generic. When the genus is at least two, using…
We explore a definition of uniformity on noncompact manifolds that does not require a Riemannian metric, but is equivalent to bounded gemetry. These are unfinished research notes (and will likely never be published), but since they were…
A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…
Entropy of measure preserving or continuous actions of amenable discrete groups allows for various equivalent approaches. Among them are the ones given by the techniques developed by Ollagnier and Pinchon on the one hand and the…
We compute in many classes of examples the first potentially interesting homotopy group of the space of embeddings of either an arc or a circle into a manifold $M$ of dimension $d\geq4$. In particular, if $M$ is a simply connected…
