We study sequences of immersions respecting bounds coming from Riemannian geometry and apply the ensuing results to the study of sequences of submanifolds of symplectic and contact manifolds. This allows us to study the subtle interaction…
We study equivariant Gromov-Hausdorff distances for general continuous actions which are not necessarily isometric as Fukaya introduced. We prove that if an action is expansive and has pseudo-orbit tracing property then it is stable under…
The Gromov--Hausdorff distance measures the difference in shape between metric spaces and poses a notoriously difficult problem in combinatorial optimization. We introduce its quadratic relaxation over a convex polytope whose solutions…
The Heisenberg groups are examples of sub-Riemannian manifolds homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to the Euclidean space. Their metric is derived from curves which are only allowed to move in so-called horizontal directions. We report on…
This paper continues the investigation of `Wasserstein-like' transportation distances for probability measures on discrete sets. We prove that the discrete transportation metrics on the d-dimensional discrete torus with mesh size 1/N…
The magnitude of metric spaces does not appear to possess a simple, convenient continuity property, and previous studies have presented affirmative results under additional constraints or weaker notions, as well as counterexamples. In this…
The homotopy interleaving distance, a distance between persistent spaces, was introduced by Blumberg and Lesnick and shown to be universal, in the sense that it is the largest homotopy-invariant distance for which sublevel-set filtrations…
This thesis is developed in the context of the spin-foam approach to quantum gravity; all results are concerned with the Lorentzian theory and with semiclassical methods. A correspondence is given between Majorana 2-spinors and time-like…
A Lorentzian manifold endowed with a time function, $\tau$, can be converted into a metric space using the null distance, $\hat{d}_\tau$, defined by Sormani and Vega. We show that if the time function is a proper regular cosmological time…
This thesis start by a review of different approaches to classical and quantum gravity. The main theme is Lorentzian Gromov Hausdorff theory which is an active diffeomorphism invariant theory on the space of Lorentz spaces (think about…
In the present paper a distinguishability of bounded metric spaces by the set of the Gromov--Hausdorff distances to so-called simplexes (metric spaces with unique non-zero distance) is investigated. It is easy to construct an example of…
We provide a short introduction to ``Lorentzian metric spaces" i.e., spacetimes defined solely in terms of the two-point Lorentzian distance. As noted in previous work, this structure is essentially unique if minimal conditions are imposed,…
Based on an extended time-space symmetry, a cylindrical model of gravitational geometrical dynamics with two time-like extra-dimensions leads to a microscopic geodesic description of the curved space-time. Due to interaction of a Higgs-like…
We prove that the extrinsic Hausdorff dimension is always greater than or equal to the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension in models of triangulated random surfaces with action which is quadratic in the separation of vertices. We furthermore…
We provide general upper and lower bounds for the Gromov-Hausdorff distance $d_{\mathrm{GH}}(\mathbb{S}^m,\mathbb{S}^n)$ between spheres $\mathbb{S}^m$ and $\mathbb{S}^n$ (endowed with the round metric) for $0\leq m< n\leq \infty$. Some of…
In this paper, we discuss the embeddability of subspaces of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, which consists of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, into Hilbert spaces. These embeddings are…
At first we introduce the space-time manifold and we compare some aspects of Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry such as the distance function and the relations between topology and curvature. We then define spinor structures in general…
We give the definition of $L^p$-convergence of tensor fields with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff topology and several fundamental properties of the convergence. We apply this to establish a Bochner-type inequality which keeps the term of…
It is shown that the space of null geodesics of a causally simple Lorentzian manifold is Hausdorff if it admits an open conformal embedding into a globally hyperbolic spacetime. This provides an obstruction to conformal embeddings of…
In this article, we analyze three classes of time-reversal of a Markov process with Gaussian noise on a manifold. We first unveil a commutativity constraint for the most general of these time-reversals to be well defined. Then we give a…
