Multipath cohomology is a cohomology theory for directed graphs, which is defined using the path poset. The aim of this paper is to investigate combinatorial properties of path posets, and to provide computational tools for multipath…
The signature of a path, introduced by K.T. Chen [5] in $1954$, has been extensively studied in recent years. The $2010$ paper [12] of Hambly and Lyons showed that the signature is injective on the space of continuous finite-variation paths…
In this paper, we prove a theorem on tight paths in convex geometric hypergraphs, which is asymptotically sharp in infinitely many cases. Our geometric theorem is a common generalization of early results of Hopf and Pannwitz, Sutherland,…
A remarkable example of a nonempty closed convex set in the Euclidean plane for which the directional derivative of the metric projection mapping fails to exist was constructed by A. Shapiro. In this paper, we revisit and modify that…
A theorem of Picard's type is proved for entire holomorphic mappings into complex projective varieties. This theorem has local character in the sense that the existence of Julia directions can be proved under a natural additional…
Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…
A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…
This paper examines the issue of the existence and nature of time-like geodesics in asymptotically flat spacetimes and proposes a novel generalized topological criterion for the existence of time-like geodesics. Its validity is proved using…
Very recently Richter and Rogers proved that any convex geometry can be represented by a family of convex polygons in the plane. We shall generalize their construction and obtain a wide variety of convex shapes for representing convex…
We use simple sub-Riemannian techniques to prove that an arbitrary geometric p-rough path in the sense of Lyons (98) is the limit in sup-norm of a sequence of canonically lifted smooth paths, which are uniformly bounded in p-variation,…
After surveying some known properties of compact convex sets in the plane, we give a two rigorous proofs of the general feeling that supporting lines can be slide-turned slowly and continuously. Targeting a wide readership, our treatment is…
We construct a uniformly bounded symplectic structure on $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^4$ admitting embeddings by arbitrarily large balls. This provides a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Savelyev. We then prove the conjecture holds for a…
Motion path planning is an intrinsically geometric problem which is central for design of robot systems. Since the early years of AI, robotics together with computer vision have been the areas of computer science that drove its development.…
For various reasons, it seems necessary to include complex saddle points in the "Euclidean" path integral of General Relativity. But some sort of restriction on the allowed complex saddle points is needed to avoid various unphysical…
In this paper, a general moving object trajectories framework is put forward to allow independent applications processing trajectories data benefit from a high level of interoperability, information sharing as well as an efficient answer…
We consider the forced motion of a relativistic particle constrained on a curve and present sufficient conditions for periodic oscillations by means of an illustrative geometrical approach. Obtained result is illustrated by a few examples…
Let C be a simple, closed, directed curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P. We identify several classes of curves C that "live on a cone," in the sense that C and a neighborhood to one side may be isometrically embedded on the…
We assign generalised convolutions (resp. traces) to graphs whose edges are decorated by smooth kernels (resp. smoothing operators) on a closed manifold. To do so, we introduce the concept of TraPs (Traces and Permutations), which roughly…
To comply with recent developments of path integrals in spaces with curvature and torsion we find the correct variational principle for the classical trajectories. Although the action depends only on the length, the trajectories are {\em…
A new proof is given of the fact that the particle trajectories of the ideal incompressible fluid are analytic curves, though the solutions of the Euler equations may have a finite regularity. This is a consequence of a general fact that…
