A common approach to implementing similarity search applications is the usage of distance functions, where small distances indicate high similarity. In the case of metric distance functions, metric index structures can be used to accelerate…
This paper addresses problems in functional metric geometry that arise in the study of data such as signals recorded on geometric domains or on the nodes of weighted networks. Datasets comprising such objects arise in many domains of…
In some scientific fields, a scaling is able to modify the topology of an observed object. Our goal in the present work is to introduce a new formalism adapted to the mathematical representation of this kind of phenomenon. To this end, we…
We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…
We introduce the notion of pseudo-cones of metric spaces as a generalization of both of the tangent cones and the asymptotic cones. We prove that the Assouad dimension of a metric space is bounded from below by that of any pseudo-cone of…
Consider an elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator $A$ acting on $m$-columns of half-densities on a closed manifold $M$, whose principal symbol is assumed to have simple eigenvalues. We show existence and uniqueness of $m$…
We study iterated function systems (IFS) with compact parameter space. We show that the space of IFS with phase space $X$ is the hyperspace of the space of self continuous maps of $X$. With this result we obtain that the Hausdorff distance…
We establish that every second countable completely regularly preordered space (E,T,\leq) is quasi-pseudo-metrizable, in the sense that there is a quasi-pseudo-metric p on E for which the pseudo-metric p\veep^-1 induces T and the graph of…
Let $(X,d_X,\mu)$ be a metric measure space where $X$ is locally compact and separable and $\mu$ is a Borel regular measure such that $0 <\mu(B(x,r)) <\infty$ for every ball $B(x,r)$ with center $x \in X$ and radius $r>0$. We define…
We prove the equivalence of the two important facts about finite metric spaces and universal Urysohn metric spaces $\Bbb U$, namely theorem A and theorem B below: Theorem A (Approximation): The group of isometry $ISO(\Bbb U)$ contains…
Let F be a p-adic field and let G be a connected reductive group defined over F. We assume p is big. Denote g the Lie algebra of G. We normalize suitably a Fourier-transform on the space of smooth functions with compact support on g(F),…
Any Lipschitz map $f\colon M \to N$ between metric spaces can be "linearised" in such a way that it becomes a bounded linear operator $\widehat{f}\colon \mathcal F(M) \to \mathcal F(N)$ between the Lipschitz-free spaces over $M$ and $N$.…
Any procedure applied to data, and any quantity derived from data, is required to respect the nature and symmetries of the data. This axiom applies to refinement procedures and multiresolution transforms as well as to more basic operations…
We consider spaces of smooth immersed plane curves (modulo translations and/or rotations), equipped with reparameterization invariant weak Riemannian metrics involving second derivatives. This includes the full $H^2$-metric without zero…
The following questions are germane to our understanding of gauge-(in)variant quantities and physical possibility: how are gauge transformations and spacetime diffeomorphisms understood as symmetries, in which ways are they similar, and in…
For a given metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ we consider finite samples of points, calculate the matrix of distances between them and then reconstruct the points in some finite-dimensional space using the multidimensional scaling (MDS)…
Let $M$ and $N$ be connected manifolds without boundary with $\dim(M) < \dim(N)$, and let $M$ compact. Then shape space in this work is either the manifold of submanifolds of $N$ that are diffeomorphic to $M$, or the orbifold of…
We consider, at the linearized level, the superspace formulation of lower-dimensional F-theory. In particular, we describe the embedding of 3D Type II supergravity of the superstring, or 4D, N=1 supergravity of M-theory, into the…
We study groups acting by length-preserving transformations on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. We introduce a natural notion of quasi-isometry for such spaces and exhibit an extension of the…
In this paper, we introduce a pseudometric on the family of isometry classes of (extended) metric spaces. Using it, we obtain a natural compactification of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, which is compatible with ultralimit.
