A general theory is provided delivering convergence of maximal cyclically monotone mappings containing the supports of coupling measures of sequences of pairs of possibly random probability measures on Euclidean space. The theory is based…
We discuss the relationship between discrete-time processes (chains) and one-dimensional Gibbs measures. We consider finite-alphabet (finite-spin) systems, possibly with a grammar (exclusion rule). We establish conditions for a stochastic…
Motivated by problems related to quasi-local mass in general relativity, we study the static metric extension conjecture proposed by R. Bartnik \cite{Bartnik_energy}. We show that, for any metric on $\bar{B}_1$ that is close enough to the…
The main aim of this paper is to study the Lipschitz continuity of certain $(K, K')$-quasiconformal mappings with respect to the distance ratio metric, and the Lipschitz continuity of the solution of a quasilinear differential equation with…
A general approach to proving that the length spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold is an invariant of the Laplace spectrum comes from considering the wave trace, a spectrally determined tempered distribution. The Poisson relation…
We introduce the {\em pair-cut cone $PCUT_n$} of metrics on sets with $n\ge 3$ elements, that correspond to linear combinations with non-negative coefficients of the cut-metrics resulting from cuts that are pairs. Given a metric, we fully…
We introduce the notion of (almost isometric) local retracts in metric space as a natural non-linear version of the concepts of locally complemented and almost isometric ideals from Banach spaces. We prove that given two metric spaces…
Let Y be a locally convex Hausdorff space, K \subset E a cone and \leq_K the partial order defined by K. Let (X, p) be a TV S- cone metric space, {\phi} : K \rightarrow K a vectorial comparison function and f : X \rightarrow X such that…
We mainly investigate some properties of quasiconformal mappings between smooth 2-dimensional surfaces with boundary in the Euclidean space, satisfying certain partial differential equations (inequalities) concerning Laplacian, and in…
In the present note we prove a conjecture of Demailly for finite sets of sufficiently many very general points in projective spaces. This gives a lower bound on Waldschmidt constants of such sets. Waldschmidt constants are asymptotic…
The n-th symmetric product of a metric space is the set of its nonempty subsets with cardinality at most n, equipped with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that every symmetric product of the line is an absolute Lipschitz retract and admits a…
This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…
We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…
This is an expository paper on the theory of gradient flows, and in particular of those PDEs which can be interpreted as gradient flows for the Wasserstein metric on the space of probability measures (a distance induced by optimal…
We survey recent developments towards a proof of the Penrose conjecture and results on Penrose-type and other geometric inequalities for quasi-local masses in general relativity.
This article introduces a new approach to discrete curvature based on the concept of effective resistances. We propose a curvature on the nodes and links of a graph and present the evidence for their interpretation as a curvature. Notably,…
In this paper, we study the distance problem in the setting of finite p-adic rings. In odd dimensions, our results are essentially sharp. In even dimensions, we clarify the conjecture and provide examples to support it. Surprisingly,…
The equivalence between metric and Palatini formalisms in f(R)-gravity can be achieved in the general context of theories with divergence free current. This equivalence is a necessary result of a symmetry which is included in a particular…
We consider finite element approximations of unique continuation problems subject to elliptic equations in the case where the normal derivative of the exact solution is known to reside in some finite dimensional space. To give quantitative…
