Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space $M$, we study the statistical asymptotic penetration behavior of (locally) geodesic lines of $M$ in small neighborhoods of points, of closed geodesics, and of other compact (locally) convex…
Eventually after Dieudonn\'e-Grothendieck, we give intrinsic definitions of \'etale, lisse and non-ramifi\'e morphisms for general adic rings and general locally convex rings. And we investigate the corresponding \'etale-like, lisse-like…
We propose a new shape analysis approach based on the non-local analysis of local shape variations. Our method relies on a novel description of shape variations, called Local Probing Field (LPF), which describes how a local probing operator…
Sheaves are objects of a local nature: a global section is determined by how it looks locally. Hence, a sheaf cannot describe mathematical structures which contain global or nonlocal geometric information. To fill this gap, we introduce the…
This paper is a continuation of ``Operads, Grothendieck topologies and deformation theory'' (alg-geom/9502010). We show how to develop a cohomology theory that would control deformations of a sheaf of associative algebras over a scheme by…
One of the most fundamental facts in topos theory is the internal parameterization of subtoposes: the bijective correspondence between subtoposes and Lawvere-Tierney topologies. In this paper, we introduce a new but elementary concept, "a…
Using methods from commutative algebra and topos-theory, we construct topos-theoretical points for the fppf topology of a scheme. These points are indexed by both a geometric point and a limit ordinal. The resulting stalks of the structure…
We investigate flat morphisms of schemes of positive characteristic whose relative Frobenius is an isomorphism, which we call pristine. We show that these give rise to a natural Grothendieck topology that is fine tuned for the localization…
In this paper we propose an elementary topological approach which unifies and extends various different results concerning fixed points and periodic points for maps defined on sets homeomorphic to rectangles embedded in euclidean spaces. We…
We make a systematic study of the infinitesimal lifting conditions of a pseudo finite type map of noetherian formal schemes. We recover the usual general properties in this context, and, more importantly, we uncover some new phenomena. We…
Anatomical structures such as the hippocampus, liver, and bones can be analyzed as orientable, closed surfaces. This permits the computation of volume, surface area, mean curvature, Gaussian curvature, and the Euler-Poincar\'e…
In this work, we study the geodesics of the space of certain geometrically and physically motivated subspaces of the space of immersed curves endowed with a first order Sobolev metric. This includes elastic curves and also an extension of…
Through the subsequent discussion we consider a certain particular sort of (topological) algebras, which may substitute the `` structure sheaf algebras'' in many--in point of fact, in all--the situations of a geometrical character that…
A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…
We construct a sheaf-theoretic representation of quantum observables algebras over a base category equipped with a Grothendieck topology, consisting of epimorphic families of commutative observables algebras, playing the role of local…
We introduce a general notion of flabby objects in elementary toposes and study their basic properties. In the special case of localic toposes, this notion reduces to the common notion of flabby sheaves, yielding a site-independent…
The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…
A regularization procedure developed in [1] for the integral curvature invariants on manifolds with conical singularities is generalized to the case of squashed cones. In general, the squashed conical singularities do not have rotational…
On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…
We introduce the notion of a point on a locally closed subset of a symplectic manifold being "locally rigid" with respect to that subset, prove that this notion is invariant under symplectic homeomorphisms, and show that coisotropic…
