A result due to M. Gromov states that any two finitely generated groups {\Gamma} and {\Lambda} are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit a topological coupling, i.e., a commuting pair of proper continuous cocompact actions…
De Giorgi conjectured in 1979 that if a sequence of functionals converges in the sense of Gamma-convergence to a limiting functional, then the corresponding gradient flows will converge as well after changing timescale appropriately. It is…
De Giorgi conjectured in 1979 that if a sequence of parabolic functionals Gamma converges to a limiting functional, then the corresponding gradient flows will converge as well after changing timescale appropriately. This paper studies the…
Gromov introduced two distance functions, the box distance and the observable distance, on the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces and developed the convergence theory of metric measure spaces. We investigate several…
Given a residually connected incidence geometry $\Gamma$ that satisfies two conditions, denoted $(B_1)$ and $(B_2)$, we construct a new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ with properties similar to those of $\Gamma$. This new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ is…
Parametric geometry of numbers is a new theory, recently created by Schmidt and Summerer, which unifies and simplifies many aspects of classical Diophantine approximations, providing a handle on problems which previously seemed out of…
A notion of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak type is introduced for sequences of operators acting on time-dependent functions. This extends the classical definition of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals due to De Giorgi. The…
When undergraduates ask me what geometric group theorists study, I describe a theorem due to Gromov which relates the groups with an intrinsic geometry like that of the hyperbolic plane to those in which certain computations can be…
Looking to the history of mathematics one could find out two outer approaches to Geometry. First one (algebraic) is due to Descartes and second one (group-theoretic)--to Klein. We will see that they are not rivalling but are tied (by…
The present article addresses to everyone who starts working with (pointed) Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. In the major part, both Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of compact and of pointed metric spaces are introduced and investigated.…
We prove that E. De Giorgi's conjecture for the nonlocal approximation of free-discontinuity problems extends to the case of functionals defined in terms of the symmetric gradient of the admissible field. After introducing a suitable class…
This paper is on $\Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the…
A rigorous connection between large deviations theory and Gamma-convergence is established. Applications include representations formulas for rate functions, a contraction principle for measurable maps, a large deviations principle for…
This is an introduction to geometric algebra, an alternative to traditional vector algebra that expands on it in two ways: 1. In addition to scalars and vectors, it defines new objects representing subspaces of any dimension. 2. It defines…
The works of R. Descartes, I. M. Gelfand and A. Grothendieck have convinced us that commutative rings should be thought of as rings of functions on some appropriate (commutative) spaces. If we try to push this notion forward we reach the…
The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…
Free translation of the original abstract in Spanish: Some of the most relevant milestones due to, or instigated by, mathematicians concerning the creation, development and advances of Cosmology as a scientific discipline are presented and…
This note is based on Professor Vitali Kapovitch's comparison geometry course at the University of Toronto. It delves into various comparison theorems, including those by Rauch and Toponogov, focusing on their applications, such as…
We propose a notion of graph convergence that interpolates between the Benjamini--Schramm convergence of bounded degree graphs and the dense graph convergence developed by L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz and his coauthors. We prove that spectra of…
We prove that certain nonlocal functionals defined on partitions made of measurable sets Gamma-converge to a local functional modeled on the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi. Those nonlocal functionals involve generalized surface tension…
