We present a generalised Hanson-Wright inequality and use it to establish new statistical insights into the geometry of data point-clouds. In the setting of a general random function model of data, we clarify the roles played by three…

A new scheme is proposed for dealing with the problem of singularities in General Relativity. The proposal is, however, much more general than this. It can be used to deal with manifolds of any dimension which are endowed with nothing more…

The concept of a Point Cloud has played an increasingly important role in many areas of Engineering, Science, and Mathematics. Examples are: LIDAR, 3D-Printing, Data Analysis, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Mathematical Visualization,…

We deal with rigidity results for compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with nonempty boundaries. As a result, we obtain new characterizations for hemispheres and geodesic balls in simply connected space forms. In dimensions three and…

We study a topological field theory in four dimensions on a manifold with boundary. A bulk-boundary interaction is introduced through a novel variational principle rather than explicitly. Through this scheme we find that the boundary values…

Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in a generalization of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to studies of geometric properties of smooth manifolds. Round fold maps were introduced as stable fold maps…

We study geometric and topological properties of the image of a smooth submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ under a bi-Lipschitz map to $\mathbb{R}^{m}$. In particular, we characterize how the dimension, diameter, volume, and reach of the…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of closed 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity of a manifold is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils…

Manifolds with boundary and with corners form categories ${\bf Man}\subset{\bf Man^b}\subset{\bf Man^c}$. A manifold with corners $X$ has two notions of tangent bundle: the tangent bundle $TX$, and the b-tangent bundle ${}^bTX$. The usual…

Static manifolds with boundary were recently introduced to mathematics. This kind of manifold appears naturally in the prescribed scalar curvature problem on manifolds with boundary when the mean curvature of the boundary is also…

This paper considers conditions, which allow to preserve important topological and geometric properties in the process of digitization. For this purpose, we introduce a triplet {C,M,D} consisting of a continuous object C, an intermediate…

We define submersions f between manifolds M and N modelled on locally convex spaces. If the range N is finite-dimensional or a Banach manifold, then these coincide with the naive notion of a submersion. We study pre-images of submanifolds…

We study connectivity preserving multivalued functions between digital images. This notion generalizes that of continuous multivalued functions studied mostly in the setting of the digital plane $Z^2$. We show that connectivity preserving…

Differentials on Riemann surfaces correspond to translation surfaces with conical singularities, and affine transformations acting on them preserve the orders of these singularities. This viewpoint allows the moduli spaces of differentials…
