We establish a regularity result for the metric on any 4-dimensional extremal K\"ahler manifold, and a weak compactness theorem on the space of such metrics. Specifically, the sectional curvature at a point is bounded when the quantity…

We consider a large class of geodesic metric spaces, including Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces and geodesic $\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa)$-spaces, and investigate the space of nonexpansive mappings on either a convex or a star-shaped subset in…

We construct a geometric model for the mapping class group M of a non-exceptional oriented surface of finite type and use it to show that the action of M on the compact Hausdorff space of complete geodesic laminations is topologically…

For a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we introduce and study the extremal general affine surface areas, defined by \[ {\rm IS}_{\varphi}(K):=\sup_{K^\prime\subset K}{\rm as}_{\varphi}(K),\quad {\rm os}_{\psi}(K):=\inf_{K^\prime\supset…

We study the invertibility nonsmooth maps between infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. To this end, we introduce an analogue of the notion of pseudo-Jacobian matrix of Jeyakumar and Luc in this infinite-dimensional setting. Using this, we…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

Let $X=\mathbb{D}/\Gamma$ be an arbitrary Riemann surface. We establish a necessary and sufficient criterion for $[f]\in T(X)$ to have a Teichm\"uller-type extremal map.

In this article we characterize the extreme points of the unit ball of a non-commutative (quantum) Lorentz space associated with a semi-finite von Neumann algebra. This enables us to show that surjective isometries between non-commutative…

We construct extremal metrics on the total space of certain destabilising test configurations for strictly semistable K\"ahler manifolds. This produces infinitely many new examples of manifolds admitting extremal K\"ahler metrics. It also…

We obtain a refinement of a selection principle for $(\mathcal{K}, \lambda)$-wide-$(s)$ sequences in Banach spaces due to Rosenthal. This result is then used to show that if $C$ is a bounded, non-weakly compact, closed convex subset of a…

Let $ H $ be a compact subgroup of a locally compact group $G$. In this paper we define a convolution on $ M(G/H) $, the space of all complex bounded Radon measures on the homogeneous space G/H. Then we prove that the measure space $ M(G/H,…

The metric Markov cotype of barycentric metric spaces is computed, yielding the first class of metric spaces that are not Banach spaces for which this bi-Lipschitz invariant is understood. It is shown that this leads to new nonlinear…

We characterize those classes $\ccc$ of separable Banach spaces admitting a separable universal space $Y$ (that is, a space $Y$ containing, up to isomorphism, all members of $\ccc$) which is not universal for all separable Banach spaces.…

We consider non-zero endomorphisms of the Dales and Davie algebras of infinitely differentiable functions on intervals in the real line. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for a selfmap of the interval to induce a compact…

We study the isometric extension problem for H\"{o}lder maps from subsets of any Banach space into $c_0$ or into a space of continuous functions. For a Banach space $X$, we prove that any $\alpha$-H\"{o}lder map, with $0<\alpha\leq 1$, from…

In this paper, we prove that the existence of an $\varepsilon$-isometry from a separable Banach space $X$ into $Y$ (the James space or a reflexive space) implies the existence of a linear isometry from $X$ into $Y$. Then we present a set…

Inspired in the theorem of Krein-Milamn, we investigate the existence of extreme points in compact convex subsets of asymmetric normed spaces. We focus our attention in the finite dimensional case, giving a geometric description of all…

We apply recently developed convex programs to find the minimal-area Riemannian metric on $2n$-sided polygons ($n\geq 3$) with length conditions on curves joining opposite sides. We argue that the Riemannian extremal metric coincides with…

The main scalar-mean extremality and rigidity results in the existing literature concern manifolds whose curvature operators are nonnegative, or warped product spaces with a log-concave warping function whose leaves carry metrics of…

We show that a continuous additive positively homogeneous map from a closed not necessarily proper cone in a Banach space onto a Banach space is an open map precisely when it is surjective. This generalization of the usual Open Mapping…
