We study the structure of separable elements in bipartite C$^{\ast}$-algebras, focusing on the existence and size of a separable neighbourhood around the identity element. While this phenomenon is well understood in the finite-dimensional…
The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…
Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…
The notions of disjointness and discrete elements play a prominent role in the classical theory of vector lattices. There are at least three different generalizations of the notion of disjointness to a larger class of partially ordered…
Many physical systems are described by partial differential equations (PDEs). Determinism then requires the Cauchy problem to be well-posed. Even when the Cauchy problem is well-posed for generic Cauchy data, there may exist characteristic…
The aim of these notes is to present an accessible overview of some topics in classical algebraic geometry which have applications to aspects of discrete integrable systems. Precisely, we focus on surface theory on the algebraic geometry…
We investigate how exotic differential structures may reveal themselves in particle physics. The analysis is based on the A. Connes' construction of the standard model. It is shown that, if one of the copies of the spacetime manifold is…
The deviation of a general convex body with twice differentiable boundary and an arbitrarily positioned polytope with a given number of vertices is studied. The paper considers the case where the deviation is measured in terms of the…
This paper is concerned with the open problem proposed in Ammari et. al. Commun. Math.Phys, 2013. We first investigate the existence and uniqueness of Generalized Polarization Tensors (GPTs) vanishing structures locally in both two and…
We study orthogonal decompositions of symmetric and ordinary tensors using methods from linear algebra. For the field of real numbers we show that the sets of decomposable tensors can be defined be equations of degree 2. This gives a new…
An abstract theory of ultradifferentiable sheafs is developed. Moreover, various applications to the theory of linear partial differential equations, differential geometry and, in particular, CR geometry are discussed.
In this note we consider distinct distances determined by points in an integer lattice. We first consider Erdos's lower bound for the square lattice, recast in the setup of the so-called Elekes-Sharir framework \cite{ES11,GK11}, and show…
A new mathematical theory, non-associative geometry, providing a unified algebraic description of continuous and discrete spacetime, is introduced.
F. Wehrung has asked: Given a family $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of a set $\Omega$, under what conditions will there exist a total ordering on $\Omega$ under which every member of $\mathcal{C}$ is convex? <p> Note that if $A$ and $B$ are…
In 1964, Paul Erd\H{o}s published a paper settling a question about function spaces that he had seen in a problem book. Erd\H{o}s proved that the answer was yes if and only if the continuum hypothesis was false: an innocent-looking question…
We define a new structure on a space endowed with convexities, and call it a fractoconvex structure (or, a space with fractoconvexity). We introduce two operations on a set of fractoconvexities and in a special case we show that they…
Mr. C. Stephanos posed the following question in the Interm\'ediaire des Math\'ematiciens: "Do there exist polyhedra with invariant facets that are susceptible to an infinite family of transformations that only alter solid angles and…
We establish a connection between two previously unrelated topics: a particular discrete version of conformal geometry for triangulated surfaces, and the geometry of ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic three-space. Two triangulated surfaces are…
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
A non-traditional approach to the discretization of differential-geometrical connections was suggested by the authors in 1997. At the same time we started studying first order difference ``black and white triangle operators (equations)'' on…
