Causal set theory is perhaps the most minimalistic approach to quantum gravity, in the sense that it makes next to zero assumptions about the structure of spacetime below the Planck scale. Yet even with this minimalism, the continuum limit…

In this paper, we revisit the old problem of compact finite difference approximations of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in dimension 1. We design a large and natural set of schemes of arbitrary high order, and we equip this set with an…

We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…

We introduce and study isomorphic distances between ordinal elections (with the same numbers of candidates and voters). The main feature of these distances is that they are invariant to renaming the candidates and voters, and two elections…

We study several polygonal curve problems under the Fr\'{e}chet distance via algebraic geometric methods. Let $\mathbb{X}_m^d$ and $\mathbb{X}_k^d$ be the spaces of all polygonal curves of $m$ and $k$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$,…

The \emph{distance-number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge-lengths over all straight-line drawings of $G$ in the plane. This definition generalises many well-known concepts in combinatorial geometry. We consider the…

In graph analysis, a classic task consists in computing similarity measures between (groups of) nodes. In latent space random graphs, nodes are associated to unknown latent variables. One may then seek to compute distances directly in the…

Let $D, \Omega_1, ..., \Omega_m$ be irreducible bounded symmetric domains. We study local holomorphic maps from $D$ into $\Omega_1 \times... \Omega_m$ preserving the invariant $(p, p)$-forms induced from the normalized Bergman metrics up to…

In this paper, we investigate space-like graphs defined over a domain $\Omega\subset M^{n}$ in the Lorentz manifold $M^{n}\times\mathbb{R}$ with the metric $-ds^{2}+\sigma$, where $M^{n}$ is a complete Riemannian $n$-manifold with the…

The aim of this paper is two-fold: First, we obtain a better understanding of the intrinsic distance of diffusion processes. Precisely, (i) for all $n\ge1$, the diffusion matrix $A$ is weak upper semicontinuous on $\Omega$ if and only if…

Let $\gamma_1,\gamma_2$ be a pair of constant-degree irreducible algebraic curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Assume that $\gamma_i$ is neither contained in a hyperplane nor in a quadric surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for each $i=1,2$. We show that for…

We present a proof of the folklore result that any length metric on $\mathbb R^d$ can be approximated by conformally flat Riemannian distance functions in the uniform distance. This result is used to study Liouville quantum gravity in…

We introduce the concept of distance mean-regular graph, which can be seen as a generalization of both vertex-transitive and distance-regular graphs. Let $\Gamma$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, diameter $D$, adjacency matrix $A$, and…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. Given a big cohomology class $\{\theta\}$, there is a natural equivalence relation on the space of $\theta$-psh functions giving rise to $\mathcal S(X,\theta)$, the space of singularity types of…

Considered is the problem of local equivalence of generic four-dimensional metrics possessing two commuting and orthogonally transitive Killing vector fields. A sufficient set of eight differential invariants is explicitly constructed,…

We prove necessary and sufficient integral conditions involving extremal distance for a conformal mapping of the unit disk to belong to the Hardy or weighted Bergman spaces. We also give characterizations for the Hardy number and the…

A novel general framework for the study of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals defined over pairs of measures and energy-measures is introduced. This theory allows us to identify the $\Gamma$-limit of these kind of functionals by knowing…
