We investigate the Eilenberg-Moore algebras of the extended probabilistic powerdomain monad $\mathcal V_w$ over the category $\mathbf{TOP}_0$ of $T_0$ topological spaces and continuous maps. We prove that every $\mathcal V_w$-algebra in our…

Barycentric algebras are an abstraction of the notion of convex sets, defined by a set of equations. We study semitopological and topological barycentric algebras, in the spirit of a previous study by Klaus Keimel on semitopological and…

The Karcher mean on the cone $\Omega$ of invertible positive elements of the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{B}(E)$ of bounded operators on a Hilbert space $E$ has recently been extended to a contractive barycentric map on the space of $L^1$-…

This note proves a result on the existence of barycenters in a class of uniformly convex geodesic spaces.

The space of weak expectations for a given representation of a (unital) separable C*-algebra is a compact convex set of (unital) completely positive maps in the BW topology, when it is non-empty. An application of the classical Choquet…

We prove existence and duality on a wide class of metric spaces, and uniqueness results on any connected, complete Riemannian manifold, with or without boundary, for classical Monge--Kantorovich barycenters. In particular, this is the first…

Given a closed two dimensional manifold, we prove a general existence result for a class of elliptic PDEs with exponential nonlinearities and negative Dirac deltas on the right-hand side, extending a theory recently obtained for the regular…

A theorem is presented on existence and uniqueness up to the topological *-isomorphism of universal locally C*-algebra for an arbitrary locally JB-algebra.

The Choquet - Bishop - de Leeuw theorem states that each element of a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological Hausdorff space is a barycenter of a probability measure supported by the set of extreme points of that set. By the…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the barycenter of a signed distribution of probability measures on a Hilbert space. The barycenter is found, as usual, as a minimum of a functional. In the case where the positive part of the signed…

We prove that Keimel and Lawson's K-completion Kc of the simple valuation monad Vs defines a monad Kc o Vs on each K-category A. We also characterize the Eilenberg-Moore algebras of Kc o Vs as the weakly locally convex K-cones, and its…

We prove that for a residual (and hence dense) subset $\mathcal{G}$ of Riemannian metrics on $S^{n+1}$ in the $C^{3}$ topology, no area-minimizing integral $n$-current that is a boundary admits a singular tangent cone which is linearly…

By Bartle-Graves theorem every surjective map between C*-algebras has a continuous section, and Loring proved that that there exists a continuous section of norm arbitrary close to 1. Here we prove that there exists a continuous section of…

In this paper, we develop an adiabatic theory for the evolution of large closed surfaces under the area-constrained Willmore (ACW) flow in a three-dimensional asymptotically Schwarzschild manifold. We construct explicitly a map, defined on…

We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a general separable Hilbert space. Specifically, we show that…

We study the extrinsic Bures--Wasserstein geometry of the determinant-normalized Kronecker model $\mcK_n=\{V\ot U:U,V\in\Sp^n,\ \det U=1\}\subset\Sp^{n^2}$, asking when the ambient Bures geodesic between two Kronecker positive definite…

We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover…

The bounded localization $\beta_b$ of a locally convex topology $\beta$ is defined as the finest locally convex topology agreeing with $\beta$ on all bounded sets. We show that the strict topology on the multiplier algebra of a bornological…

We propose a fixed-point property for group actions on cones in topological vector spaces. In the special case of equicontinuous actions, we prove that this property always holds; this statement extends the classical Ryll-Nardzewski theorem…

A nonempty closed convex set in ${\mathbb R}^n$, not containing the origin, is called a pseudo-cone if with every $x$ it also contains $\lambda x$ for $x\ge 1$. We consider pseudo-cones with a given recession cone $C$, called…
