We discuss some properties of the distance functions on Riemannian manifolds and we relate their behavior to the geometry of the manifolds. This leads to alternative proofs of some "classical" theorems connecting curvature and topology.

Although copulas are used and defined for various infinite-dimensional objects (e.g. Gaussian processes and Markov processes), there is no prevalent notion of a copula that unifies these concepts. We propose a unified approach and define…

Usually, in order to investigate the evolution of a theory, one may find the critical points of the system and then perform perturbations around these critical points to see whether they are stable or not. This local method is very useful…
