An easy consequence of Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality is the following: if $f:[0,1]^d \rightarrow \infty$ is Lipschitz and $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_N \right\} \subset [0,1]^d$, then $$ \left| \int_{[0,1]^d} f(x) dx - \frac{1}{N}…

In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…

We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace $\t$, and let $E$ be an r.i. space on $(0, \8)$. Let $E(\M)$ be the…

We study Sobolev a priori estimates for the optimal transportation $T = \nabla \Phi$ between probability measures $\mu=e^{-V} \ dx$ and $\nu=e^{-W} \ dx$ on $\R^d$. Assuming uniform convexity of the potential $W$ we show that $\int \| D^2…

The algebra $\mathcal H:= H_{1,\nu}(I_2(2m+1))$ of observables of the Calogero model based on the root system $I_2(2m+1)$ has an $m$-dimensional space of traces and an $(m+1)$-dimensional space of supertraces. In the preceding paper we…

The commuting scheme $\mathfrak{C}^{d}_{\mathfrak{g}}$ for reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ is the subscheme of $\mathfrak{g}^{d}$ defined by quadratic equations, whose $\mathbb{K}$-valued…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ the Grassmannian formed by closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We say that $X,Y\in {\mathcal…

We develop the first steps towards an analysis of geometry on the quantum spacetime proposed in [1]. The homogeneous elements of the universal differential algebra are naturally identified with operators living in tensor powers of Quantum…

We use the remarkable distance estimate of Ilya Kachkovskiy and Yuri Safarov, to show that if $H$ is a nonseparable Hilbert space and $K$ is any closed ideal in $B(H)$ that is not the ideal of compact operators, then any normal element of…

Thompson's partition of a cyclic subnormal operator into normal and completely non-normal components is combined with a non-commutative calculus for hyponormal operators for separating outliers from the cloud, in rather general point…

Let $\M$ be a type ${\rm II_1}$ factor and let $\tau$ be the faithful normal tracial state on $\M$. In this paper, we prove that given finite elements $X_1,\cdots X_n \in \M$, there is a finite decomposition of the identity into $N \in…

We introduce a general class of transport distances ${\rm WB}_{\Lambda}$ over the space of positive semi-definite matrix-valued Radon measures $\mathcal{M}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}_+^n)$, called the weighted Wasserstein-Bures distance. Such a…

The Weyl algebra (W_{2m}[h]; *) is the algebra generated by u=(u_1,...,u_m,v_1,.....,v_m) over C with the fundamental commutation relation [u_i,v_j]=-ih\delta_{ij}, where h is a positive constant. The Heisenberg algebra (\Cal H_{2m}[nu];*)…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of standard homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metrics, as a natural non-Riemannian deformation for the normal homogeneous Riemannian metrics. We prove that with respect to the given bi-invariant inner…

We consider Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problems on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, with a convex cost function given by the cumulant generating function of a probability measure. Examples include the Wasserstein-2 transport whose cost…

We show that the distance from an element of a C*-algebra to the set of regular elements is the infimum of the $\delta>0$ for which the $\delta$-cut-down of the element admits a polar decomposition within the algebra. This parallels results…

We study the equivalence problem of classifying second order ordinary differential equations $y_{xx}=J(x,y,y_{x})$ modulo fibre-preserving point transformations $x\longmapsto \varphi(x)$, $y\longmapsto \psi(x,y)$ by using Moser's method of…

For $d\geq 2$ and any norm on $\mathbb R^d$, we prove that there exists a set of $n$ points that spans at least $(\tfrac d2-o(1))n\log_2n$ unit distances under this norm for every $n$. This matches the upper bound recently proved by Alon,…

We revise and extend the algorithm provided in [1] to compute the finite Connes' distance between normal states. The original formula in [1] contains an error and actually only provides a lower bound. The correct expression, which we…

We establish quantitative stability bounds for the quadratic optimal transport map $T_\mu$ between a fixed probability density $\rho$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under general assumptions on $\rho$, we prove that the…
