Inspired by regularization in quantum field theory, we study topological and metric properties of spaces in which a cut-off is introduced. We work in the framework of noncommutative geometry, and focus on Connes distance associated to a…

We prove that the topology, smooth structure, and metric of a compact Lorentzian manifold with boundary is uniquely determined by data at the boundary. The data consists of the lengths and directions of future-directed once-broken geodesics…

We briefly review two recently developed extensions of the Lorentzian geometry of spacetime and prove that they are in fact closely related. The first is the concept of observer space, which generalizes the space of Lorentzian observers,…

Given metric quotients $S$ and $S_n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, of a metric space $X$, sufficient conditions are provided on the data defining them guaranteeing that $S$ is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of $S_n$. These conditions are recognized…

The Lorentzian length, which is one of the most significant functions in Lorentzian geometry, is a complex-valued function. Its square gives a real-valued non-degenerate quadratic function. In this paper, we define naturally extended…

This paper extends the theory of turbulence of Hjorth to certain classes of equivalence relations that cannot be induced by Polish actions. It applies this theory to analyze the quasi-isometry relation and finite Gromov-Hausdorff distance…

In this paper, an approach for generalizing the Gromov-Hausdorff metric is presented, which applies to metric spaces equipped with some additional structure. A special case is the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric between measured metric…

In recent papers on spacetimes with a signature-changing metric, the concept of a Lorentzian-Euclidean black hole and new elements for Lorentzian-Riemannian signature change have been introduced. A Lorentzian-Euclidean black hole is a…

We show that a metric space $X$ that, at every point, has a Gromov-Hausdorff tangent with the splitting property (i.e. every geodesic line splits off a factor $\mathbb{R}$), is universally infinitesimally Hilbertian (i.e. $W^{1,2}(X,\mu)$…

In ``Characterization, stability and convergence of hierarchical clustering methods'' by G. E. Carlsson, F. Memoli, the natural way to construct an ultrametric space from a given metric space was presented. It was shown that the…

In this paper, we study regular sets in metric measure spaces with bounded Ricci curvature. We prove that the existence of a point in the regular set of the highest dimension implies the positivity of the measure of such regular set. Also…
