We give a Kuratowski-type classification of a graph-defined class of minimal piecewise-linear obstructions to embeddability in the 3-sphere. A finite simplicial complex \(X\) is called critical for \(S^3\) if \(|X|\) does not embed in…

Using ideas from shape theory we embed the coarse category of metric spaces into the category of direct sequences of simplicial complexes with bonding maps being simplicial. Two direct sequences of simplicial complexes are equivalent if one…

We consider the Weil--Petersson (WP) metric on the modular surface. We lift WP geodesics to the universal cover of the modular surface and analyse geometric properties of the lifts as paths in the hyperbolic metric on the universal cover.…

Building off work of Farenick and Rahaman, we extend the definition of the density space and the Bures metric to the setting of non-unital C*-algebras equipped with a faithful trace and prove that the Bures metric is also a metric in this…

The Vietoris-Rips complex, denoted $R_\beta(X)$, of a metric space $(X,d)$ at scale $\beta$ is an abstract simplicial complex where each $k$-simplex corresponds to $(k+1)$ points of $X$ within diameter $\beta$. For any abstract simplicial…

The first author introduced a measure of compactness for families of sets, relative to a class of filters, in the context of convergence approach spaces. We characterize a variety of maps (types of quotient maps, closed maps, and variants…

D. Bures defined a metric $\beta $ on states of a $C^*$-algebra and this concept has been generalized to unital completely positive maps $\phi : \mathcal A \to \mathcal B$, where $\mathcal B$ is either an injective $C^*$-algebra or a von…

We study the extrinsic Bures--Wasserstein geometry of the determinant-normalized Kronecker model $\mcK_n=\{V\ot U:U,V\in\Sp^n,\ \det U=1\}\subset\Sp^{n^2}$, asking when the ambient Bures geodesic between two Kronecker positive definite…

We seek to develop a Bures (minimal monotone/statistical distinguishability) metric-based series of formulas for the moments of probability distributions over the determinants $|\rho|$ and $|\rho^{PT}|$ of $4 \times 4$ density matrices,…

We derive simple and unified closed-form expressions for projections with respect to fidelity (equivalently, the Bures and purified distances) onto several sets of interest. These include projections of bipartite positive semidefinite (PSD)…

Cone spherical metrics, defined on compact Riemann surfaces, are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many cone singularities. Such a metric is termed \textit{reducible} if a developing map of the metric has monodromy…

The Bures--Wasserstein geometry of covariance matrices provides a canonical distance on the statistical manifold of centred Gaussian measures and lies at the intersection of information geometry, quantum information, and optimal transport.…

The space of unitary $C_{0}$-semigroups on separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space, when viewed under the topology of uniform weak convergence on compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}_{+}$, is known to admit various interesting residual…

If $X$ is an analytic metric space satisfying a very mild doubling condition, then for any finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $X$ there is a set $N\subseteq X$ such that $\mu(N)>0$, an ultrametric space $Z$ and a Lipschitz bijection $\phi:N\to…

For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…

We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…

We investigate the combinatorial discrepancy of geometric set systems having bounded shallow cell complexity in the \emph{Beck-Fiala} setting, where each point belongs to at most $t$ ranges. For set systems with shallow cell complexity…

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…

This study first defines a new metric with normal structure on C(H,K) and then a new technique to prove fixed point theorems for families of non-expansive maps on this metric space. Indeed, it shows that the presence of a bounded orbit…

We introduce a flexible, categorical framework for large-scale geometry that clarifies basic behaviour of the metric Rips filtration and streamlines some constructions in geometric group theory. The paper has two main parts. First, we…
